Saturday, Week 4 February 2020 The Nebraska Bowl, Mid West Attendance: 50,000 Reverie Rating: 13,669,926 Show Rating: 86 Announcers Brock Cornish - Belle Bryden - Emily McQueen <div style="color:rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:Roboto;font-size:14px;font-style:normal;font-weight:normal;border-top:6px solid rgb(0,0,0);"></div> Natural Storm's theme plays and Eddie Howard walks to the ring with his shoulder and chest bandaged up but with purpose and determination in his eyes. He takes a microphone from the timekeepers table and doesn't wait for the crowd to settle before speaking. "Rich Money! I'm not playing games with you. For 8 weeks I've kicked you and minions asses. You got 1 night where you got lucky on me. 1 night out of 54 where you got the better of me because Jack beat me with a chair but that's all you've got. I'm not waiting a second longer to get what I've got coming to me and that's that World Title. So I'm standing here. I'm ready and your paid help can't help you now. Bring your money bags ass on out here!"

He whispers something to them before they both head to the back and the ref rings the bell. Howard instantly slingshots himself forward with great acceleration for a spear but Money rolls out the way as Howards momentum carries him in the turnbuckle post and he instantly clutches his shoulder in pain. The excitement and determination of the challenger overcoming his better judgement. Money brings him to the outside and spends time working him over. Stiff elbows to the shoulder, a couple of throws into the barricade and the ringpost and a general beatdown ensues but Money keeps rolling in and out of the ring to interrupt the ref's 10 count. Eventually he rolls Howard into the ring who looks in rough shape. Money picks him up and goes to suplex but Howard reverses into one of his own and suddenly springs into life. The master of the tag team comeback 'hot tag' can fire up just as well solo and Money is stunned. Howard hoists Money up after a flurry of offence but can only manage a 2.5 count. Howard goes for a running clothesline in the corner but Money pulls the ref into the way and he goes down. Atlas, whom we haven't seen since turning on Jumbo Jackson, makes his way down to the ring and puts a hurt on Howard. D.C Rayne & The Force both run down to help but are met with big boots before Atlas slams Howard to the mat with a Kronus Bomb. He rouses the ref as Money climbs the turnbuckle and hits his Dollars From Heaven on Howard to secure the 3 count and him still being champion.

This was the first time that both 'teams' had ever officially been in tag team action with their respective partners and the early goings were a feeling out process but very quickly it became clear that both teams have chemistry within their duos as the action flowed and some clever tag team offense was called for. Newton & Callum had the upper hand for good parts of it with a series of sneaky, heelish antics. A hot tag to Jones from Black allowed for the babyface comeback but it was swiftly shut down and, perhaps to the surprise of many, this one came to an end when he locked Jones into his Honey Trap submission and forced the tap out.

There was no collar and elbow tie-up here. Both men came here with a point to prove with Shaffer winning the last contest in December but this one intending to be decisive. 13 minutes of action flew by as they threw caution to the wind and appeared to take a win at all costs approach. Shaffer utilised any and all dirty tactics he had in his in arsenal as he tried to keep Smith at bay with his aerial offense but he attempted one move too many and Smith captured Shaffer and put him away with the Tombstone Piledriver.

Smith grabs a mic: "Hey, hey, we've got good times rolling here and you want to keep this up? Your team lost Raven. Your man lost. But I can't let you just hit my friend here and not let her hit back. So let's go right now. Sweet vs Robinson one more time!"

They were well versed with what the other could do at this stage and traded strikes and holds as Smith & Shaffer cheered on from ringside. Raven won the previous 2 meetings but wasn't completely comfortable this time round with Sweet showing a fiery determination that we've not seen from her before. Raven looked to have it won as she locked in her Night Crawler submission but Sweet struggled free and quickly capitalised with two Sugar Smacks (Shining Wizards) to floor Robinson and secure the 3-count. The crowd erupted in cheers as Sweet had finally beaten Robinson one-on-one.

The match was a fairly even affair in the early goings with The Texas Express extremely fired-up at the prospect of winning their first ever set of tag team titles in USPW. The match rolled on with Moor managing to keep the Express at bay utilising his size and strength and eventually the champions retained with a superplex from the top rope and Jett's Emergency Landing combination to get the pinfall on Christie and prove that the champs are definitively the best team in USPW.

Fans are familiar with Tyson Baine & T-Rex who have now returned to screens but not so familiar with the gothic figure accompanying them who gives a signal and the two behemoth monsters let loose and destroy anyone and anything in sight of them. The bodies of the tag competitors are laying crumpled in the ring and at ringside. The gothic figure clicks his fingers as the arena again descends into darkness before relighting a few moments later with the trio nowhere to be seen.

Both men played to the crowd with equal measure with their off the charts charisma as the fans were really into this contest and ate up everything that both men were doing. The men traded shots to the cheering and jeering of the crowd and it looked like they could've gone another 10. Cage successfully hit his comeback spot and had Thompson up for his Rage Cage finish but as he propelled Joss forward the arrogant heel rolled forward and hooked Cage into a small package for a very tight 2 count. Cage kicked out with great force, rose to his feet but was instantly met with a Clean Cutter that planted the champ face first into the mat. Thompson, unsatisfied, raised Cage to his feet and then jumped off the middle rope to catch Cage with an aerial Clean Cutter and secure the 3-count. New Champion!

Frehley had all their numbers over the last few months and had secured himself support in the form of Big Bubba & Tavon Blake. This would be a real battle and that it was. Bubba started things off for the heels and controlled the early going with his size as he worked over the good guys who struggled to get anything going. Once Blake was tagged in he showed off his abilities with some strong offence and strikes but it was Wolf who got the better of him. A hot-tag to Champion brought the audience to their feet and Mr USPW took control of the match but couldn't get it done. The finish came with Frehley and Law as the legal men. A ruckus got all 6 involved. Blake and Wolf were occupied brawling on the outside. Champion and Bubba were grappling away but Bubba snatched on a bear hug with a vice like grip that had Champion stuck. Law lined up Frehley for the Squad Car Slam but Frehley wriggled free and hoisted Law up for an emphatic Frehley's comet to put away Law for the 3-count as no one was free to intervene.

For moments the match appeared to take more of a tornado tag team format as Pariah and Melody seemed to join forces to take the fight to Quine and Strong as the fans lapped up everything on offer and appeared to throw the weight of their volume behind the lone wolf Pariah. After 14 minutes of action the crowd began to hit a fever pitch as a series of near falls for all talents threatened to end this one. The finish came when Strong was thrown to the floor by Pariah who then awaited in the corner of the ring as Melody and Quine went at it. Melody lined-up her Melody maker but was caught off guard by Quine's K.O Kick from out of nowhere that floored Melody who rolled to the outside. Quine was furious at that and the distraction gave Pariah all the opportunity she needed. She ran across the ring, passed Quine, jumped onto the top rope and propelled herself off catching the stunned Quine in a crushing Tornado DDT that brought the fans to their feet. Pariah crawled across to make the cover but as she did so Strong emerged from the outside, grabbed the legs of Pariah and yanked her from the ring to the floor. Strong swiftly crawled into the ring and covered Quine. Pariah rose to her feet as quickly as she could but couldn't get back in the ring in time as Strong stole the 3-count and was the new Woman's Champion to the frustration of Pariah and the fans.

The show closes with Strong being joined by her cohorts King & Gloria as she raises her title aloft celebrating becoming an 8-time Woman's champion. Rating: 87 </div>

  9. Was wondering if anyone would be available to throw some sort of bandana on either or both of the Bulldozers here? Something ala Big Evil Taker would be ideal if anyone had the willingness. Thanks you creative folks.
  10. Well. I'm happy to be proven wrong with the double confirmation. Sorry for doubting but you've got to admit that there was fair reason to doubt given the specificities and the apparent incredible rarity. Gonna need a screenshot next time that happens.
  11. I'm gonna call BS on this. I find it hard to believe that something like that has never ever been discovered in this game before now. Gonna need a screenshot or it didn't happen...
  12. I missed the first show for predictions but I read it and it was very well done. I wasn't overly familiar with ECW back in the day but everything I know of it says that you've captured the feel of it excellently and I look forward to seeing what you do with the talent at your disposal. Great first show.

  14. USPW Red, White & Blue! Preview LIVE! from The Nebraska Bowl in the Mid West comes the second special event of the new decade from the biggest company in North America and the world. An expected sell out capacity of 50,000 are estimated to be in attendance at the event and you can be there too from the comfort of your own home, bar or theatre courtesy of the Reverie Network. Red, White & Blue! is sure to be another great evening of star spangled awesome action and so let's take a quick run down and recap of the card and how we got here. The Undesirables vs Team Supreme These four individuals chose their sides in the battle between Joss Thompson & Roger Cage. The recently debuted Davis Wayne Newton & Nelson Callum named themselves The Undesirables as a reference to their long waiting time and seemingly unlikely rise to a major company and have sided with Thompson after both recently coming up short in their title matches vs Roger Cage. Jones & Black are veterans of the game and were recruited as support by Cage. Two new teams with a point to prove! 'Smooth' Roger Cage © vs 'The Complete Package' Joss Thompson (National Title Match) Cage has been National champion for a few days shy of four months and his popularity has only grown as a result with 6 successful defences under his belt. Thompson defeated Enygma at the start of the month and turned his attentions to the champion after claiming that nobody is on his level and he wants the gold here not because he wants it but to prove he can because he's just that good. Thompson and co. won the six-man tag a few nights ago and come into this one with the momentum. Bulldozer Brandon Smith vs Trent Shaffer This is the culmination of a feud that started a few months ago between these two and has involved a number of different talents through it's duration. This particular match will be number 5 in the best of 5 series between these two and their associates and they decided that this could only end the way it started. Sweet, Valentine, Robinson & Jameson are all banned from ringside for the match. Flight & Might © vs The Texas Express (Tag Team Titles) Jett & Moor have been tag champions for almost 4 months now and haven't appeared to look troubled in that time. The Texas Express have been slowly building themselves up over the past 18 months and after defeating The Cold Warriors last month now have their first ever shot at the gold. Victory for the Texans would make them the youngest tag team champions in USPW history. Victory for Flight & Might would cement their place as the undisputed best tag team in the company right now. Succession (Frehley, Bubba & Blake) vs Nicky Champion, Running Wolf & Rick Law The 'fight forever' war between 'The Dark Destroyer' and 'Hawkeye' has gained some fresh legs with new additions to each mans backing (as if either man needs it). Frehley has recruited the recently debuted talents of the massive and intimidating Big Bubba and Tavon Blake to aid his cause in destroying the good guys of USPW while Champion has long time associate Running Wolf and the enforcer Rick Law on his side. Frehley has defeated all 3 of these men at somepoint in singles action recently (Law and Wolf both within the last 4 weeks) and broke Law's jaw in the process. Champion has recently returned from being shelved by Frehley and will continue to look for revenge and redemption! Rich Money © vs Eddie Howard (World Title Match) Eddie Howard is undefeated this year and worked his way through the previous incarnation of The Business before starting to work through the 'new look' version and has clearly intimidated Money in the process as the rich snob has done all he can to avoid Howard and stop the progress of the powerhouse heavyweight. A recent altercation with one of Money's protégé's in Jack Jackson resulted in Howard taking a lot of shoulder damage via a steel chair and belt whips and he comes into this one hindered but hungry. Could the 'tag guy' use his momentum to win his first World Title or will Money extend his 7 month stint with the gold? Jaime Quine © vs Alicia Strong vs Pariah vs Melody (Women's Title) It was an unusual journey to get this point but here we are. Sara Marie was the original challenger to Quine's title but withdrew due to injury and the four-time champion Melody won a 10 woman battle royal to replace Sara Marie as challenger. Pariah has been on a hot streak like nobody else and is arguably the hottest commodity in the company and naturally drew the ire of the 7-time champion and the wrestling royalty that is Alicia Strong. These two were set for a major clash when Quine, continuing to find a way to prove her dominance and appease her social media following, offered to involve Strong & Pariah in the title match and make it a 4-way to prove she can still come out on top against the 'best'. The two most successful champions in company history, the 'white hot' Lone Wolf and the current champion vying for the gold make this a must see main event. And that is the official line-up for Red, White & Blue! Who knows what will happen on the night and if these are the only matches we'll see but it is sure to be a fantastic night of action in the Mid West and what better time to tell a friend to start watching USPW than with a line-up looking like this? We'll see you Saturday night! <div style="color:rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:Roboto;font-size:14px;font-style:normal;font-weight:normal;border-top:6px solid rgb(0,0,0);"></div> Prediction Card: The Undesirables vs Team Supreme Comments: National Title 'Smooth' Roger Cage © vs 'The Complete Package' Joss Thompson Comments: Bulldozer Brandon Smith vs Trent Shaffer Comments: Tag Team Titles Flight & Might © vs The Texas Express Comments: Succession (Frehley, Blake & Bubba) vs Nicky Champion, Running Wolf & Rick Law Comments: World Title Rich Money © vs Eddie Howard Comments: Women's Title Jaime Quine © vs Alicia Strong vs Pariah vs Melody Comments: How many titles will change hands?

  15. Thirded. The dynasty thread has flare ups of interactivity but it is significantly lower than it was before the privatisation and the site, IMO, is suffering as a result. What would get people interested in the game more? Seeing the creativity and fun that dynasty writers have with it and they think "I could do that" or another thread in the general discussions about "Which CVerse worker is your favourite?" where the 'guests' likely may have little idea of who they are?
  16. <div style="padding: 10px; border: 10px solid #261930; margin:10px;background: #bb8be0; max-width:70%;box-shadow: 0 3px 12px ";"> Hello and welcome to this special edition of the Behind The Curtain Podcast with me, Jo-Ro. This week's American Wrestling is in the books and it's time for our look back, assessment and recap of the show. Let's get into it. American Wrestling came to us from Toronto, Canada this week in front of a paying audience of 13,075. According to the latest figures from Reverie the show was down on last week and the lowest viewed of the month amassing 11,417,910. Segment 1: #1 Contender's Woman's Battle Royal Faith McGee, Glorious Gloria, Jillian Jarvis, Juliette King, Killer Kass, Melody, Miss American Pie, Missy Masterson, Tiffany Jade & Wendy Anderson The show opened this week with a 10 woman battle royale. The match was announced after last week's episode as Sara Marie picked up an injury forcing her withdrawal from her title shot. It was a strong 12-minute opener showcasing some of the underutilised talent of the division. Everyone got their stuff in and Killer Kass looked particularly dominant amassing five eliminations but it was former 4-time champion Melody who emerged victorious and will get a rematch with Quine for the title. (64) Segment 2: Quine appeared from the back and cut an exceedingly arrogant promo touting her superiority as champion to everyone else. She congratulated Melody but called out Strong and Pariah. It was revealed that through the power of her social media following and her belief in her brilliance she offered to make it a four way on Saturday and that Sara Marie would get her shot after she retains. The other three agreed and it was made official. A tantalising segment that hooked in the audience and the match should deliver in spades with the four talents involved. A good start to the show. (78) Segment 3: Bulldozer Brandon Smith, Charity Sweet & Casey Valentine vs Trent Shaffer, Raven Robinson & Kirk Jameson Another repeat match-up for this feud this time it being a repeat of the match three and a half weeks ago. The match itself was as good as last time but I think I speak for the audience when I say we'll be glad to see these 6 avoid each other for a while after Red, White & Blue! Shaffer picked up the win for his side managing to put surprise everyone and put away Smith after the Heart Burn. This brings the series to 2-2. (70) Segment 4: Smith, surprised and irked at the loss, grabbed a microphone and cut a fiery promo saying that this should've been done a while ago and they should finish this as they started it. Smith vs Shaffer at Red, White & Blue. A straight up fight with no interference allowed. Shaffer retorted back with fiery barbs and both agreed to the fight on Saturday night. It was an exciting promo that seemed to add a last dash of fuel to the fire for this feud. (80) Segment 5: The Cold Warriors vs Jacob Jett & Cooper Christie A 'can the enemies get along' type of match here as champion and challenger teamed up against Karloff & Novak, not seen sine Stars, Stripes & Slams! The cooling off period for the veteran duo seemed to work as they looked good here as Jett & Christie, despite their talents, couldn't get the synergy going to work here. The match was solid but it was a very strange match-up and shows that Strong is clearly struggling to book the tag titles strongly right now. Cold Warriors pick up the win pinning Jett. (62) Segment 6: The follow up to this consisted of the partners of each man joining them in the ring with an argument breaking out between the 4 of them as Christie & Trenneman looked to grab the gold and show their worth. Novak & Karloff chuckled watching on shouting that 'They'll be waiting!'. The segments were received well by the live audience but it's strange booking. Strong and co. need to have a good look at the division and figure out what they want to do with it as we move towards the quite rare babyface vs babyface title showdown. (65) Segment 7: Roger Cage & Team Supreme vs Joss Thompson & The Undesirables Six-man tag action followed and there was a lot of talent in the ring here that put on a solid TV match. Jones & Black look a fine pairing together and could add some rejuvenation to the tag division as could Newton & Callum once they start to catch on with the fans. The pairings were good, the match was good and the typical 'entertainment-esque' finish was good with Thompson ending things with what looks to be a particularly nasty looking running knee strike to AJ before Callum pinned Jones getting his win back from a while ago. This set up the National Title match on Saturday nicely. (69) Segment 8: Newton scoops up Cage's National title amidst the chaos and placed it over the shoulder of Thompson as the heels walk away and trash talk. Thompson threw it back into the ring to Cage as he reassembled his team. A typical post-match angle but I'm excited about the title match and it could be a show stealer as Thompson seems to bring out the best in everyone. (64) Segment 9: D.C Rayne & The Force vs Sterling Whitlock & Zeus Howard joined Rayne & Force ringside but was dressed casually and in no shape to perform tonight. Money was ringside supporting his support in The Business. It was a wild brawl of a match that is clearly designed to cover up any signs of decline in The Force which we all know are there. Good fun with Whitlock heeling it up and rolling up The Force for the 3-count. A match that felt like it was here just for being here but it was good. (68) Segment 10: A heavy post-match beatdown was on order for The Business who weren't satisifed with sneaking a win. Howard felt goaded and took the bait looking to come to the aid of his friends but Jack Jackson blindsided him before Money began using the world title like a whip and began slamming it into Howards already injured shoulder. It's clear that the ripped heavyweight of Howard seems to have something about him that creative like and they've done a fine job of making it seem like he could be a threat to Money thus Money's insistence on doing heavy damage to him before a singles affair but he has some way to go and I'm not convinced that Howard is ready to be in a World Title match yet. (71) Segment 11: Following this we had the newly named group Succession consisting of Frehley, Bubba & Blake in the ring. Great promo from Frehley putting over the history he has with Champion who joined them in the ring with Law & Wolf. A duelling promo with simmering tension throughout that the crowd ate up but, though it's early days, it's clear that Bubba & Blake have a long way to go before they can be perceived as close to these four. Before the 3v3 match both teams wish to display what some members can do. Frehley hypes up Bubba and welcomes down a random opponent for him for his in-ring debut. (78) Segment 12: Big Bubba vs Grandmaster Phunk Grandmaster Phunk made his first appearance of the year looking suitably 'fly' (is that what the kids say?) but ready for business. He seemed unfazed by the sheer size and mass of Bubba. He regretted that. 1 minute and 33 seconds after the bell first rang to start the match it rang again to end it. Bubba looked simply monstrous and ragdolled Phunk around the ring like he weighed no more than a dried leaf. I can't give the match any higher than the rating it got. For as entertaining as it is to see a monster at work it was very short and he's one of many in the company. (38) Segment 13: A fun little post-match segment with the heels looking incredibly smug with themselves as Blake wiped the brow of Bubba with a towel. The faces did a great job of looking equally impressed and concerned raising a few chuckles from the live audience. The good guys then discussed between themselves who would go next but it was elected that Champion would perform as Wolf claimed he'll wait til Saturday and Law kept rubbing his jaw. Mr USPW stepped into the ring as the heels stepped out. (82) Segment 14: Nicky Champion vs Anthony Trask You'd be forgiven for being a little confused here as I was firmly under the impression that the discussion was for who would step in and face Bubba so there was a bit of what felt like a bait and switch here but thankfully the match we got instead delivered. This was Champions 3rd match in 3 weeks as he claims he's fighting off ring rust (Really?!) and the 24 year old Traskmaster performed admirably with his stock only being raised by being in the ring with the Icon. A 12 minute main event that everyone just let play out with the expected conclusion coming as a result of the Hawkeye Hammer. (81) Segment 15: As soon as the match ends there was, unsurprisingly, a post-match attack from the bad guys. Blake snuck in and low-blowed Champion, Wolf made a charge but was sent propelling and tumbling out of the ring by Bubba and Law was met with a crushing big boot to the previously broken jaw by Frehley. Three men standing and three men laying and an audience clearly hyped for what will be a very interesting six-man tag at Red, White & Blue! as the show ends. (87) <div style="color:rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:Roboto;font-size:14px;font-style:normal;font-weight:normal;border-top:6px solid rgb(0,0,0);"></div> All in all a solid go-home show for USPW that was probably slightly down on the efforts in previous weeks thus the 79 rating. The star power exists and they're continuing to willingly try and build new stars as well and quickly as they can but the storylines, though engaging enough, aren't truly gripping me and the National title and Women's title pictures are more interesting than the World's and Tag Teams. On paper it looks like the event should deliver in spades on Saturday but again it's what they do after Saturday that I'm keen to find out. Til next time friends, I'm Jo-Ro.

  17. Wednesday nights USPW American Wrestling comes to you live from the Canadian Air Centre in Toronto, Ontario. The first time this year that one of the big three has dared to venture north of the border. The 'go-home' show before Red, White and Blue! is sure to be an interesting one especially with regards to the Women's title scene. Sara Marie suffered an injury last week and has withdrawn from her title match with Jaime Quine. Quine took to social media to gloat, profress her brilliance and elected to hold a 10 woman battle royal with the winner getting the title shot but she teased an extra surprise. Toronto will play host to match number four in what could be the end to the Best-of-Five series involving the trios of Bulldozer Brandon Smith, Casey Valentine & Charity Sweet and Trent Shaffer, Kirk Jameson & Raven Robinson respectively. After Roger Cage's beatdown last week he found a willing duo in the form of Greg Black and Andre Jones to participate in six-man action against Joss Thompson, Davis Wayne Newton & Nelson Callum. The match acts as a pre-cursor to the National title match on Saturday. Eddie Howard will not be in action after the brutal beatdown he suffered last week and so will be resting before his World Title match vs Rich Money on Saturday. D.C Rayne & The Force will be in action however against Sterling Whitlock & Zeus of The Business. Finally we don't know the specifics about it but we do know that we'll be seeing Big Bubba and Nicky Champion in singles action though not against each other. Rick Law returned last week to a great reaction in closing the show and that made official the six-man tag at Red, White & Blue. Don't miss this. We'll see you Wednesday!

This week's American Wrestling is in the books and it's time for our look back, assessment and recap of the show. Let's get into it.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-family:'Palatino Linotype';"> </span></span></p><p><span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-family:'Palatino Linotype';"> </span></span></p><p><img alt="HLSJnbk.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/HLSJnbk.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><div style="text-align:center;"></div><p></p><p></p><p><span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-family:'Palatino Linotype';"> </span></span></p><p><span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-family:'Palatino Linotype';"> American Wrestling was back on the mainland this week coming from the Utah Park Reservation. The show wasn't a sell-out this week but figures coming through say that there were </span></span><span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-family:'Palatino Linotype';"><strong>13,160</strong></span></span><span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-family:'Palatino Linotype';"> in attendance. Latest reports say that the numbers on Reverie hit </span></span><span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-family:'Palatino Linotype';"><strong>11,604,519</strong></span></span><span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-family:'Palatino Linotype';"> which is the highest figure this year for the company that wasn't a Special Event.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-family:'Palatino Linotype';"> </span></span></p><p><span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-family:'Palatino Linotype';"> </span></span><span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-family:'Palatino Linotype';"><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Segment 1:</span></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-family:'Palatino Linotype';"> The show opened with a fun and well-assembled promo package hyping recent events from the now Best of 5 saga, the title pictures for the Women's and Tag Team belts. The announce team then continued to build the mystery around the two upcoming debuts of a "God of Country" and a "God of Rock". This was all rounded off with hyping tonights show including the 'huge' main event of </span></span><span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-family:'Palatino Linotype';"><strong>Running Wolf vs Steve Frehley</strong></span></span><span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-family:'Palatino Linotype';">. USPW's production values are always among the best in the business (which is to be expected given the money behind them) and the announce team did a fine job hyping the show.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-family:'Palatino Linotype';"> </span></span><span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-family:'Palatino Linotype';"><strong>(78)</strong></span></span><span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-family:'Palatino Linotype';"> </span></span></p><p><span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-family:'Palatino Linotype';"> </span></span></p><p><span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-family:'Palatino Linotype';"> </span></span><span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-family:'Palatino Linotype';"><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Segment 2:</span></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-family:'Palatino Linotype';"> </span></span><span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-family:'Palatino Linotype';"><strong>Raven Robinson vs Charity Sweet</strong></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-family:'Palatino Linotype';"> We saw these two face off five weeks ago in what sort of helped continue to kick off this feud with the associated parties. Last time it was Raven who took the win and this time round was no different. They're telling a fine story here of Charity being great but not quite great enough to put away the veteran but she is starting to catch fire with the younger female demographic for sure. A solid match much like last time around. This also brings the BO5 series to 1-1</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-family:'Palatino Linotype';"> </span></span><span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-family:'Palatino Linotype';"><strong>(58)</strong></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-family:'Palatino Linotype';"> </span></span></p><p><span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-family:'Palatino Linotype';"> </span></span><span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-family:'Palatino Linotype';"><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Segment 3:</span></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-family:'Palatino Linotype';"> </span></span><span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-family:'Palatino Linotype';"><strong>Kirk Jameson vs Casey Valentine</strong></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-family:'Palatino Linotype';"> Like the two before them these two also faced off five weeks ago and this was match #3 in the BO5 series. Casey won this again just like last time. It was an OK match but it's clear that Jameson is working through injury so it makes sense that Casey would take the win. Not terrible. Not great.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-family:'Palatino Linotype';"> </span></span><span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-family:'Palatino Linotype';"><strong>(55)</strong></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-family:'Palatino Linotype';"> </span></span></p><p><span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-family:'Palatino Linotype';"> </span></span><span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-family:'Palatino Linotype';"><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Segment 4:</span></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-family:'Palatino Linotype';"> We then cut backstage to </span></span><span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-family:'Palatino Linotype';"><strong>Eddie Howard</strong></span></span><span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-family:'Palatino Linotype';"> accompanied by </span></span><span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-family:'Palatino Linotype';"><strong>D.C Rayne & The Force</strong></span></span><span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-family:'Palatino Linotype';">.

He'll be in the ring later awaiting a response he says. Howard isn't known for being a great talker but this was a very good promo for him and it's clear that Strong and co. see something in Howard beyond Natural Storm.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-family:'Palatino Linotype';"> </span></span><span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-family:'Palatino Linotype';"><strong>(77)</strong></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-family:'Palatino Linotype';"> </span></span></p><p><span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-family:'Palatino Linotype';"> </span></span><span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-family:'Palatino Linotype';"><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Segment 5:</span></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-family:'Palatino Linotype';"> </span></span><span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-family:'Palatino Linotype';"><span style="text-decoration:underline;">National Title</span></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-family:'Palatino Linotype';"> </span></span><span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-family:'Palatino Linotype';"><strong>Roger Cage © vs Remmy Skye</strong></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-family:'Palatino Linotype';"> </span></span><span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-family:'Palatino Linotype';"><strong>Joss Thompson</strong></span></span><span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-family:'Palatino Linotype';"> slipped into the commentary desk as Cage cut a quick promo welcoming his next challenger for his National Title. The challenger was former CZCW talent Remmy Skye. The two talents put together a very good match and what was comfortably Cage's best match of the year so far. Skye gave the champion some trouble but ultimately still looked good in making the champion look good as he retained his title via the Cage Rage. This appears to be a one-night only deal for Skye but this was a great showcase for the 35 year-old to potentially get one more shot for the big time.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-family:'Palatino Linotype';"> </span></span><span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-family:'Palatino Linotype';"><strong>(67)</strong></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-family:'Palatino Linotype';"> </span></span></p><p><span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-family:'Palatino Linotype';"> </span></span><span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-family:'Palatino Linotype';"><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Segment 6:</span></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-family:'Palatino Linotype';"> </span></span><span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-family:'Palatino Linotype';"><strong>Thompson</strong></span></span><span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-family:'Palatino Linotype';"> provided fun color for the match and didn't get involved until after the bell rang.

At which point Thompson found </span></span><span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-family:'Palatino Linotype';"><strong>Davis Wayne Newton</strong></span></span><span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-family:'Palatino Linotype';"> & </span></span><span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-family:'Palatino Linotype';"><strong>Nelson Callum</strong></span></span><span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-family:'Palatino Linotype';">, Cage's previous opponents, by his side. All 3 hit the ring and put the boots to Cage before JT challenged Cage to a 3v3 next week as a pre-cursor to the title match. Good post-match segment and if Callum & Newton are to be paired with Thompson it instantly lends legitimacy to them and raises them. I like them as a potential trio.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-family:'Palatino Linotype';"> </span></span><span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-family:'Palatino Linotype';"><strong>(63)</strong></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-family:'Palatino Linotype';"> </span></span></p><p><span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-family:'Palatino Linotype';"> </span></span><span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-family:'Palatino Linotype';"><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Segment 7:</span></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-family:'Palatino Linotype';"> After the commercial break it's promo time via 'satellite' with </span></span><span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-family:'Palatino Linotype';"><strong>Alicia Strong</strong></span></span><span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-family:'Palatino Linotype';">. She said she wasn't here this week but will be next week to make the match vs Pariah official. She put over the importance and threat of Pariah as well as still showing off her own arrogance throughout. Punctual and concise. Solid work from Strong.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-family:'Palatino Linotype';"> </span></span><span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-family:'Palatino Linotype';"><strong>(80)</strong></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-family:'Palatino Linotype';"> </span></span></p><p><span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-family:'Palatino Linotype';"> </span></span><span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-family:'Palatino Linotype';"><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Segment 8:</span></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-family:'Palatino Linotype';"> </span></span><span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-family:'Palatino Linotype';"><strong>Sara Marie vs Tiffany Jade</strong></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-family:'Palatino Linotype';"> These two have gone at it several times over the past three and a half years and don't often disappoint. This was a solid match that continues to highlight the talent on display in the women's division. A good match but a scary moment occurred near the finish when Marie lost her footing and fell back first on the metal turnbuckle pole. She managed to finish the match and still pick up the win to build momentum to her showdown with Jaime Quine but was tightly clutching her back and shoulder blades upon leaving the ring. Could be a nasty one.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-family:'Palatino Linotype';"> </span></span><span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-family:'Palatino Linotype';"><strong>(67)</strong></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-family:'Palatino Linotype';"> </span></span></p><p><span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-family:'Palatino Linotype';"> </span></span><span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-family:'Palatino Linotype';"><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Segment 9:</span></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-family:'Palatino Linotype';"> We then cut to the corridors of the venue where </span></span><span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-family:'Palatino Linotype';"><strong>Roger Cage</strong></span></span><span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-family:'Palatino Linotype';"> is walking and licking his wounds from his beatdown earlier.

They all share a few words before Cage asks if they'd be willing to partner him in the six-man vs Thompson next week. They agreed. It was a nice, fun little segment carried by Cage's charisma and it's a nice callback to Jones' and Black's recent altercations with Thompson last month so it makes sense from a story perspective but these 'random' meetings of people who could team up is a bit cliché and convenient even by 'Sports Entertainment' standards. RC can talk and has charisma off the charts though which shone through here thus the score.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-family:'Palatino Linotype';"> </span></span><span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-family:'Palatino Linotype';"><strong>(69)</strong></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-family:'Palatino Linotype';"> </span></span></p><p><span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-family:'Palatino Linotype';"> </span></span><span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-family:'Palatino Linotype';"><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Segment 10:</span></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-family:'Palatino Linotype';"> The Texas Express vs Shockwave</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-family:'Palatino Linotype';"> The young and talented duo mixed it up with the big guy duo of Atlas & Jumbo in what was a fine match with shenanigans. The Texas Express picked up the win. Jumbo was hobbling and tending to his knee throughout which kept offering The Texas boys an advantage to the chagrin of Atlas. Eventually Atlas lost his cool, again, with Jumbo, entered the ring and shocked the big man by planting him with a Kronus Bomb. The babyfaces hit their finish and got the win. It seemed like they were going to win anyway but it's overshadowed by the finish and with how USPW have almost overlooked the tag titles lately it's a shame that they're distracting them again with whatever could be going on for Atlas.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-family:'Palatino Linotype';"> </span></span><span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-family:'Palatino Linotype';"><strong>(58)</strong></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-family:'Palatino Linotype';"> </span></span></p><p><span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-family:'Palatino Linotype';"> </span></span><span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-family:'Palatino Linotype';"><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Segment 11:</span></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-family:'Palatino Linotype';"> After the match ends </span></span><span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-family:'Palatino Linotype';"><strong>The Texas Express</strong></span></span><span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-family:'Palatino Linotype';"> cut a promo claiming that they can clearly beat big, intimidating teams just like the champions can and so are deservedly asking for a title shot. </span></span><span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-family:'Palatino Linotype';"><strong>Jett & Moor, Flight & Might</strong></span></span><span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-family:'Palatino Linotype';">, appear and cut a promo themselves putting everyone over and accepting the challenge.

Howard had height and strength advantage and utilised it well putting a hurt on Jackson. JJ snuck in a rake to the eyes and a few cheap shots without the ref noticing to buy himself enough time to grab a steel chair from under the ring and begin smacking lumps out of Howard for the DQ.

The brawl went a shade over 13 minutes and it was an entertaining affair with the usual fare of shenanigans and hard-hitting offence. The duo's associates were ringside but everyone kept each other in check and the match was mostly a clean affair until Bubba attempted to interfere and Champion prevented it which resulted in a three man brawl outside the ring. This momentarily distracted both Wolf & Frehley but Frehley trusted the 2-on-1 and floored Wolf with a crushing Dark Destroyer Spear. He followed this up with a thunderous Frehley's comet and the match is over. An excellent main event.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-family:'Palatino Linotype';"> </span></span><span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-family:'Palatino Linotype';"><strong>(83)</strong></span></span><span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-family:'Palatino Linotype';"> </span></span></p><p><span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-family:'Palatino Linotype';"> </span></span></p><p><span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-family:'Palatino Linotype';"> </span></span><span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-family:'Palatino Linotype';"><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Segment 17:</span></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-family:'Palatino Linotype';"> The second the bell rings </span></span><span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-family:'Palatino Linotype';"><strong>Frehley </strong></span></span><span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-family:'Palatino Linotype';">hops out to the floor and aids </span></span><span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-family:'Palatino Linotype';"><strong>Big Bubba</strong></span></span><span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-family:'Palatino Linotype';"> and </span></span><span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-family:'Palatino Linotype';"><strong>Tavon Blake</strong></span></span><span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-family:'Palatino Linotype';"> and begins slugging away at </span></span><span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-family:'Palatino Linotype';"><strong>Champion</strong></span></span><span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-family:'Palatino Linotype';"> as Mr. USPW is clearly in rough shape.

The first 3/4's of the show were average to good as they continue building to Red, White and Blue! but the main event and closing segment absolutely made this show. The stories USPW are telling are good, if a bit formulaic, but it's clearly an 'if it ain't broke, don't fix it' approach being taken by Strong. The World Title story is good in that's it offering a 'non-typical' main event in Howard a shot but it doesn't appear to be quite capturing the imagination of fans as perhaps intended.
