Rob Van Dam Interview

Rob Van Dam comes out to tell the fans he is leaving the USWA! He says that
the USWA doesn't give him the proper respect he deserves. The fans are chanting NA NA NA NA, NA NA NA NA, HEY, HEY HEY GOODBYE! RVD says he will win this X
division round robin tournament and take the belt with him!

The Amazing Red won over Sabu via default.

Red wins the RR tournament match, because Sabu is still out due to injury.
Sabu isn't getting a fair shake in the tournament and Dibiase is going to have
to deal with that when Sabu is back from his injury.
