Triangle Match:
Too Cold Scorpio defeated Jeff Jarrett and Toshiaki Kawada when Scorpio pinned
Jarrett with the 450 Splash in 0:22:06.
Rating: ** 3/4

Scorpio getting a win over Jarrett and Kawada. Kawada hasn't been living up
to his name in the USWA, and officials are saying his days may be numbered if
he can't rack up some wins. Too Cold looked great and is still a contender for
the X title. Jeff Jarrett made his first appearance in Florida in a losing 
effort.
