Rating: -* 1/4

PG-13 wins a brutal match against Lee and The Butcher, the first two members
of the new church. Mitchell tried his best to distract Wolfie and JC but
those two have the tag team experience that Lee and Abby are missing. Wolfie
and J.C. will be in line for a title shot very shortly.

Homicide pinned The Amazing Red with the Cop Killa in 0:09:40.
Rating: *** 1/4

Red makes his debut against Homicide in a crowd pleaser. Red hit a tope to
the outside that had this place rockin! In the end Homicide slowed the pace
of the match down and executed his Cop Killa finisher to get the victory. 
Red made an impressive debut, and we expect to see more of him in the USWA.

Rating: ** 1/2
(Sabu won the USWA United States Title.)
(Ken Shamrock no-showed.)

Ken Shamrock didn't show up for his U.S. title match because he was being
choked out in the locker room by Taz! Taz and Shamrock had an amazing 1st
round match for the US title on monday with Taz being choked unconsious! Taz
obviously isn't finished with Shamrock and costed him this opportunity.

Lynn who won the tournament wanted a spin the wheel make the deal match and
a CROSS match was the winner. Sabu took the spot of SHamrock and defeated
Lynn by putting him on the cross. Sabu is the new U.S. champion!
Taz took out Shamrock, but in return he let his other nemisis Sabu win the 
title!

"From the Inside"

Contract negotiations have been taking place all week to give some guys
long term deals. AJ Styles, Rich, Gilbert, Christopher, Lawler, Douglas, and
Jarrett have all signed 5 year deals with the USWA. 

Red and Homicide are the newist members of the lightweight division. Word
going around is that the U.S. title will be eventually turned into an X
Division title. We don't have any more info on that.

30 Man Royal Rumble with the title on the line. This is a first in the long
history of the USWA! Its going to be chaos at the Mid South Coliseum.
