Dusty was in tears as medics cleaned him up and took him away. The fans loved it and this final matchup was a classic for sure. Colt Cabana and CM Punk took their feud to the next level. Some are saying with Punks victories all weekend he might be in line for a heavyweight title shot. Punk and Cabana trained in Chicago under Ace Steel, and tonight it proved that they are 2 of the best in the company. Cabana beat Don Frye, who in turn beat the formerly undefeated Jun Akiyama, but in the Death Match ANYTHING can happen. Also impressive CM Punk eliminated New Jack to win the C Block. A crazy tournament here in the USWA. Card rating: *** Match observations:
