AJ Styles pinned Akira Taue with the Styles Clash in 0:11:35.

Styles makes it past round one beating Akira Taue. Taue is a great mat wrestler,
but AJ was all over the air and gets the win with his Styles clash
finisher.

an AMAZING first round match as Ken Shamrock and Taz were FINALLY forced
into action. a 34 minute match as Taz was left laying in the ring from the
ankle lock submission! Team Taz was going CRAZY! Shamrock makes it to round 2 but
how much does he have left in him?!?!

Jerry Lynn makes it to the 2nd round with a win over Homicide. Homicide was off to a great

his Cradle Piledriver.

A.J. Styles once again defeats Paul London. Bradley left the side of London
tonight and said he is not 100% behind A.J. Styles. Can styles win the
finals match and be the first to hold BOTH the US title and the TV title?

Jerry Lynn beats Shamrock in the semis with an awesome tiger driver finish!
Shamrock gave it his all but you could tell he was totally exhausted from his
first round match with Taz. Shamrock was in two amazzing matches tonight.

Jerry Lynn made AJ Styles submit to a sleeperhold in 0:04:40.
Rating: ** 1/2
(Jerry Lynn won the USWA United States Title.)

Jerry Lynn upsets the TV champ and becomes the U.S. champ! A.J. Styles
didn;t have what it takes to beat Lynn tonight. Jerry was on with everything.
Lynn beats some of the top ranked guys here in the USWA. Now defending
that title will be his hardest task.

Match observations: 

Cory Maclin
"From the Inside"

By far the best show the USWA has put on to date Jerry Lynn becomes the first US champ. Lynn has made a name for himself in one night by defeating two of
the top rated stars in the promotion. His win over Shamrock and AJ proves
he is one of the better wrestlers on the roster. I expect to see challengers
from all around trying to go for Lynns new title.
