Rating: ** 3/4

Paul London continues to impress in the USWA. A BIG win over Chris Daniels

us when that match will happen. After the match Steve Bradley came out and 
shook Londons hand.

No-Countout-No-DQ-Match:
AJ Styles pinned Rob Van Dam after a senton in 0:12:46.
Rating: ***
(AJ Styles retained the USWA Television Title.)

AMAZING TV title match with A.J. Picking up the victory. Styles is a deserving
champion. Bradley came out and shook A.J.'s hand after the match. An interview
with Bradley is being scheduled for next week to find out what connection he
has with A.J. or London!

Taz with a choke out submission on Shark Boy. Earlier this week Shark Boy

past Shark Boy. After the match Taz pointed to the air and called out Sabu, but
Sabu didn't show up.

Tommy Rich pinned Brian Christopher with the Piledriver in 0:09:57.
Rating: **

Tommy Rich gets a win over Christopher, after major interference from Shane
Douglas. Douglas came out and pounded on Christopher, until Lawler came out
and made the save. All 4 men started going at it until security had to come 
out and seperate these guys.

No-Countout-No-DQ-Match:
Jerry Lynn pinned Ricky Morton with the Cradle Piledriver in 0:10:36.
Rating: * 3/4
(Steve Bradley no-showed.)

Jerry was scheduled to take on Steve Bradley, but Bradley didn't come out for
his match, we saw him pull away in a limo with A.J. Styles earlier. Morton 
came out to face Lynn one on one and put up a fight, but in the end Lynn gets
the victory.

No-Countout-No-DQ-Match:
Sabu pinned Brian Lee with the Triple Jump Moonsault in 0:07:59.
Rating: 1/4*

SABU is back and in a big way! In his comeback he was able to get revenge on
Lee for almost paralyzing him a few weeks ago. Taz was at the entrance way
waiting for Sabu, but Sabu took off into the crowd.

[Dream Partner Tag Match]: No-Countout-No-DQ-Match:
Stevie Richards and Raven defeated Abdullah the Butcher and The Sandman when
Raven pinned Abdullah with the Evenflow DDT in 0:12:30.
Rating: -1/4*

what a CRAZY matchup. Sandman brings in Abdullah the Butcher as his dream
partner! Abby ran around the arena like the madman that he is leaving permanent
scars in the heads of all the small children. Raven proved why he is such a
tuff competitor tonight when he gets the win over The Butcher with the DDT.
Raven is such a smart wrestler, and thats a lot of what the Sandman is missing.
I'm sure we haven't seen the last of this feud.


Card rating: * 1/2

This weeks house shows are headlined by Shane Douglas and Tommy Rich vs
Lawler and Christopher. 

Jeff Jarrett wasn't at the show today due to personal reasons. 

Raven is already causing backstage problems by TRYING to no show his main 
event on TV.
