Just when Scorpio is climbing the ladder of sucess, a back injury will keep
him out of competition, and he loses his spot in the Global Tournament, the 
one thing he was waiting for! Scorpio understands he has to give up his spot,
but he says if ANYONE no shows he is taking the spot no matter what.

Falls-Count-Anywhere Match:
The New Church (Dustin Rhodes, Raven and Vic Grimes) defeated
Team Extreme (Tommy Dreamer and The Sandman) and Dusty Rhodes when Raven pinned
Dreamer with the Evenflow DDT in 0:16:50.
Rating: *** 1/4
[Altar Boy Luke interfered against Vic Grimes.]

In what had to be one of the worst nights in Dusty Rhodes career, he lost
his son, AND he lost his friends. All in one night Raven trumped Dustys
200 light tube victory by bringing in his mystery partner of Dustin Rhodes!
If that wasn't hard enought to deal with Dreamer and Sandman TURNED on Dusty
and helped Raven destroy Dusty in the ring. When Vampiro is on the shelf,
and CM Punk is suspended, Raven was still able to get the psychological
advantage over Dusty. 


Card rating: *** 1/4


Match observations: 

Notes from Backstage

Great night of action in Memphis, the fans loved it. Scorpio is out of the
GHT and he is very upset about it. He will be a backup if someone doesn't show.

Dustin Rhodes signed with the company, and who knows what that will do for
the entire Raven/Dusty feud. This thing has more twists and turns than
anything going on in the promotion. 

After this weekends shows the USWA is having a major booking meeting to
discuss what the future holds for the fall/and into our 1 year redebut
November to Remember show.
