Well this looks like good, clean fun. Krusty the Clown vs. Abe Simpson Gotta go with ol' Abe. Disco Stu vs. Fat Tony Fat Tony has the mob on his side. He's going all the way. Homer Simpson vs. Louie Louie might help Fat Tony but he ain't gettin' help here. Ned Flanders vs. Herman Hermann Ned is the man to beat in the competition. Looks like he's chiseled out of granite. Dr. Nick Riviera vs. The Sea Captain He has the power of questionable medicine on his side and the Captain is blind with a peg leg. This is a no doubter! Bleeding Gums vs. Otto Man The only one I'm not certain of but I gotta play favourites.

<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. After Saturdays Special Event it's Wednesday again and that means a fresh episode of USPW's American Wrestling to digest and review. Let's get into it. The show came from the tri-state area this week and Allentown, PA in front of a paying crowd of 13,393 with an audience of 11,623,136 watching on Reverie. This was their biggest viewing audience for TV this year so far. Segment 1: The show opens with the usual fanfare of pyrotechnics, flashing lights and all the glitz and glamour that comes with USPW. The announce team do a fine job of hyping up the events to come this evening as well as promoting Stars, Stripes & Slams! to be watched on Reverie. (82) Segment 2: 'Hollywood' Roger Cage entered to a decent reception from the live crowd. He used to be the franchise fixture of NYCW, a tri-state mainstay, so is a popular figure in the area. He was still nursing and selling his arm, which was wrapped tightly in a bandage, from his fight with Zeus on Saturday but vows to always be a fighting champion and offered an open challenge for his National Title. We wait a moment before the current PSW champion Nelson Callum comes forth from the 'Stronghold' (the USPW branded name for the 'go position') and accepts. (69) Segment 3: Roger Cage [vs] Nelson Callum (National Title Match) This was a good TV match and easily the best match of 2020 so far for the champion. A lot of good back-and-forth action made Callum look like a very credible threat as he mixed up his offense between brawling strikes and submission holds as he tried to maintain the hurt on 'Hollywoods' arm. Ultimately the end came with the champion retaining the title via the Cage Rage but it was a great showcase of Callum's talent and rumour has it his venture in USPW could be a permanent one. An excellent move for both parties if true. (63) Segment 4: Melody [vs] Jillian Jarvis The action continued as we went straight from the solid opening contest to this great match also. Melody is a 4-time company champion but has only featured once this year so far which was in the 8-woman tag match last week which also involved Jarvis. These two mixed it up there thus the contest here. Both are very good wrestlers, even on a bad night, and put on a great 8-minute affair which ended with Melody picking up the victory via her Melody Maker. (71) Segment 5: Nicky Champion [vs] Tavon Blake Our third match without a break and the evening of solid action continued here. Nicky Champion entered and has cited that, despite his return, he still needs to return to fighting fitness and wants some warm-up matches. Ex GSW talent Tavon Blake (the Jr. has apparently been dropped) accepted the challenge and what an opportunity this was for his debut match to be against Mr. USPW. Tavon is clearly a capable wrestler but you need notoriety about you to catch on with the USPW faithful so being in the ring with Champion will clearly help. The match lasted just short of 9-minutes which perfectly showcased Blake's capabilities as well as Champions apparent ring-rust (there was none. The man was on form). Of course Hawkeye took the win and the fans are thrilled to see him back in action. (71) Segment 6: Just as he begins his celebration Champion is blindsided and sent crashing to the mat by Big Bubba. Frehley was immediately behind his enforcer and the two put a nasty beatdown on Champion with Bubba encouraging Blake to participate. Running Wolf was the man to make the save as the heels began fleeing before he'd even entered the ring to save his on again/off again partner. The trio backed up the ramp with Frehley and Bubba hyping up Blake as Wolf tended to Champion (79) Segment 7: Regular Joe [vs] Anthony Trask Back from the commercial break and the in-ring action continued with two lesser featured talents getting seven and a half minutes to show what they could do. Regular Joe has regularly been a bit of a punching bag for any heels over the past few years and that was no different here. 'The Traskmaster', a decent talent but still with a lot of development to go I feel, looked good here and forced the submission with his Texas Cloverleaf. A fine match but underwhelming compared to what came before it and what's to come. (53) Segment 8: We were then treated to a hype package video promoting the upcoming debut of 'The God of Country'. Early signs would suggest to me that this would be building up Tennessee William, recently signed to an exclusive deal from NYCW. An underwhelming package though the 'heat magnet' should be well suited to life in USPW if that is who this is for. (42) Segment 9: Once the package finished we were then treated to a brief pre-tape sit down interview with Danny Jillefski, it's nice seeing him featured more often than usual, interviewing The Texas Express. He quizzes them on their intentions now that they've beaten The Cold Warriors and they state that they now intend to move on and challenge for the tag team titles. They've earned their shot and now it's time to make it count. A very brief package but if it were my call I'd try and get the young duo a mouthpiece as, though both talented and improving in the ring, neither can really talk with a great level of confidence or command. (48) Segment 10: Natural Storm [vs] Heavy Duty This is the third time these two teams have mixed it up in some capacity over the past five weeks. It was 'do or die' for Thatcher & Ducont as their ultimatum from Rich Money was win or you're done. The dastardly duo used many a dirty trick to pull one over Rayne & Howard but there's a reason Natural Storm have been as consistently successful as they have been for the past ten years. Howard specifically seems like he's getting a strong push at the moment, especially with calling out Money last Saturday, and he secured the win for Natural Storm in a good tag team match. (70) Segment 11: Natural Storm celebrate together and disappear through to the back as Thatcher & Ducont try to get their bearings about them. The coin drop echoed throughout the arena to a heavily mixed reaction and the World Champion Rich Money walked to the ring with purpose but it wasn't just Whitlock and Rajah by his side. He was also accompanied by Jack Jackson and Zeus, two men who appeared to be trying to get 'in' with Money over the past few weeks. The heavies are confronted and the snap of Money's fingers signal the beginning of a beatdown. The duo are sent packing and surprisingly, or unsurprisingly given he's done nothing of note for months, Rajah is also smacked about and given his marching orders. The new look Business look formidable and this is good news for the company as it was needing a fresh lick of paint. This is a form of The Business I can get on board with. (63) Segment 12: Alicia Strong [vs] Missy Masterson This match was given a solid 12 minutes which makes it the longest match of the night and it was another good TV match. Masterson is suitably named as though as she's a 'master' at making opponents look good but it's not as if Strong needs help there. Strong looked fierce tonight and this is clearly a determined Strong looking to make up for coming up short on Saturday night. Strong picked up the win via her Strong Arm Tactic in a good match. (70) Segment 13: After that convincing victory Strong grabbed a microphone and delivered a very good promo here and took the time to specifically call out Pariah. She claimed that though Pariah may be one of the hottest commodities in the business right now she'll never hit the heights that Alicia has before or is currently at. Strong vowed to put an end to Pariahs run of momentum and put down the Lone Wolf. Good promo. (80) Segment 14: The USPW production team put together a fantastic short package here that recapped the mini-feud between Joss Thompson and Enygma and made it seem like the most important thing in the company. It hyped the upcoming street fight really well and the fans in attendance ate this up. (84) Segment 15: Enygma [vs] Joss Thompson (Street Fight) The fans were very into this and this ten minute all out brawl delivered in bucketsful as far as TV main events and PG friendly street fights go. We got the usual fare of trashcans, steel chairs and use of the steps but the highlight of this match was a spot using the ringside announce table. They brawled across the ringside area and through the fans but found themselves back in the ring. Enygma gained the advantage and lay JT out on the announce table, ascended to the top rope and flew off it for a frog splash but Thompson was playing possum and connected with a Clean Cutter through the table that 'popped' the fans and secured the win. A great main event. Match of the night and certainly the best USPW match of 2020 so far. (82) Overall this show gets a solid 80 from me. It's their best TV of the year so far (granted there's only been 5) but it delivered across the board. Good in-ring action coupled with good storytelling makes for good TV. Who knew?! It also doesn't hurt that every match had a clean finish. Of course there are the nitpicks of certain people not being featured like the Women's champion and the tag team champions but again that's an unfortunate downside to USPW's large roster. This is the first month though of Strong starting to be able to tell wholly her own stories as booker and it's a promising start. Plus Rich Money now appears to be surrounded by bodies who look like their suited to be associated with The Business and that's a good thing for the product. Let's hope this continues next week. Til next time friends, I'm Jo-Ro. </div>

Similarly I've only just discovered these but these are excellent. Assuming you're fine with it I think I'll use those USPW ones for the current America At War dynasty I'm involved in. Excellent work friend!

Coming to you live on Wednesday night from Allentown, PA is USPW's American Wrestling. The first show after the event that was Stars, Stripes and Slams! should be an interesting one. In the aftermath of Saturdays event and the brawl that took place between Joss Thompson and Enygma it had been announced via USPW's social media that these two would settle their differences in the main event of the show in a Street Fight. After the arena brawl we witnessed on Saturday this will be a fight that you won't want to miss. Natural Storm and Heavy Duty were originally meant to face-off on Saturday but, due to what we're guessing were time constraints, was rescheduled for Wednesday. Howard & Rayne have had their way with Money and co. for the past month and The Business haven't been at their best for a while now. Money decreed last week that if Thatcher and Ducont fell short in the match that they're done. Elsewhere on the night we'll see some of the elite female talents of USPW in action as Alicia Strong faces off against Missy Masterson and Jillian Jarvis against Melody. Strong & Jarvis will be looking to bounce back from their respective recent defeats but face strong opposition to do so. National Champion Roger Cage will be in action and 'Mr USPW' Nicky Champion will also return to singles action for the first time in 3 months. Wednesday night is sure to be another exciting night of action in USPW and Reverie is the place to watch it live! See you there. Announced Match Card

Let's go Rabbit Tribe! Action packed episode there. Good stuff.

Nate DeMarcus vs El Loco Ricky Turner vs Amo Del Gato vs Frankie Boy-Fernandes (Winner gets an Internet Title shot at Valentine's Day Massacre) Canadian Hardcore vs Local Talent Hammer Hadley vs The Gremlin Dead Men Walking vs Leberinto Jr & Cosmic Rider Loved the Family Feud segment. Good stuff fella

Pfft, the booker doesn't even know who's on his staff. Pathetic

The biggest issue with USPW is maintaining storyline heat. Due to the starting size we need to have 5 different storylines carrying a minimum of 70 heat which, when you're trying to build up unknown talent in a heavily pop > perf company, proves difficult. I got it under control though by Stars, Stripes and Slams! and so hope to keep it that way but keeping a roster of 60 happy at the same time compounds the challenge. The segment, match and show ratings should all improve as a result and then TCW and SWF will never get close to us!

Pumped to play this when it's on full release mode. Really want a RW mod that's closer to the beginning period of AEW just for fun. Looking forward to this.

The champions entered second with a bounce in their step as they high-fived the fans at ringside. The match began in swift fashion with Jett utilising his speed and agility to keep the injured Jumbo a step behind and looking inept as he flailed to try and grab Jett. Several swift kicks and blocks to the knee of Jackson ensured the babyface kept the advantage and he started looking to connect with a few more moves from the top rope. Several did but he went for one too many and Jumbo using his Hulk like upper body strength swatted Jett out of the air like a house fly as the high-flyer crumpled to the ground. The big, bad duo then began using some heelish tag work to put a hurting on the lightweight. Atlas took his time in inflicting punishment and made it look easy keeping Moor at bay while pummeling his partner. The crowd got involved and look to bring life back into Jett and they did so at just the right time. It looked as though he was about to be planted by a powerbomb but he wriggled free and hot-tagged Moor and began to go to work. Atlas found a brief second to slap in Jackson who hadn't expected the tag. He gingerly stepped back into the ring and Moor instantly began targeting the knee. Moor locked in a figure-four leglock and before Atlas even had the opportunity to break up the hold Jumbo slapped the mat in agony and submitted. The champions held their titles high and retreated up the ramp leaving Atlas towering over his fallen partner. He attempted to help up Jumbo but Jackson quickly fell back to the mat clutching his knee. A look of embarrassment and disgust came across the face of Atlas and he stepped out leaving his partner alone in pain. Winner: Jett & Moor (Jett & Moor make the 4th defence of their Tag Team Championships) Rating: 59 <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> USPW National Championship 'Smooth' Roger Cage © [vs] 'The Bronzed God' Zeus This match decided to forgo any 'lock-ups' or formalities as both competitors immediately opted for hard strikes and a brawling start. A fairly even opening gradually slid towards the favour of Zeus after an, unseen by the ref, rake of the eyes of the champion. This offered Zeus the opportunity to mount an offense surrounded around working the arms of the champion. The challenger continued in this fashion with great effectiveness focusing particularly on Cage's right arm slamming it into the ring post, the mat and stomping on it. Cage had a brief flurry of a comeback but it was cut-off when the duo of Bad Intentions entered the ringside area stealing the focus from his opponent. This was all Zeus required to recover, stomp at the back of the leg of Cage to bring him to his knees and then snatch his arm maneuvering himself into a cross armbreaker leaving the champ in agony. For what felt like minutes but was perhaps only 20 seconds Zeus yanked and stretched the champs arm but Cage absolutely refused to give in, attempted a couple of escapes but to no avail. Zeus flattened himself out, back on the mat exerting all force he could to force the submission and Cage did the only thing he possibly could. He mustered enough momentum through struggling and rolling to push himself towards the challenger, roll him up and stay there long enough to get the extremely unlikely 3-count. Winner: Roger Cage (Cage makes the 4th defence of his National Championship) Rating: 57 <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> Roger Cage - Zeus - Bash Street - Siale Valhalla (Post-match angle) Zeus is absolutely aghast and in disbelief at trying to figure out how he lost this match. The referee grabs Cage's title and helps him up the ramp and to the back as the champion celebrates gingerly clutching his arm to his chest. Bash & Siale seem to almost share a slight chuckle to themselves at their own disbelief to the situation before them. Zeus catches them, exits the ring and approaches both. He verbally berates them for finding humour in this and for not doing enough to help him before slapping them both across the face and heading to the back.

She offers a hand to Jarvis but Jarvis slaps it away and quickly snatches on a headlock as this one gets underway. It proves to be an exceptionally even contest in the early stages with both displaying more than adequate technical skills. When this proves them to be fairly evenly matched they opt to trade strikes in the centre of the ring with 'boos' for every Jarvis strike and 'cheers' for every Pariah blow. Both exuded toughness and grit during this stage but even Pariah couldn't chink the armour of the aptly named 'Iron Lady' and eventually regretted trying to go blow for blow with the 34 year old. The match continued with Jarvis having the upper hand but a missed clothesline allowed pariah to counter with a super kick that left Jarvis reeling. From here Pariah rode the wave of momentum from her comeback spots and eventually landed a second Super Kick that floored Jarvis. It only brought about a 2.8 count and Pariah ascended to the top rope and awaited Jarvis finding her feet before launching herself into the air and snapping on her vicious Tornado DDT for the victory. Winner: Pariah Rating: 66 <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> Jillian Jarvis - Pariah (Post-match angle) Pariah celebrates her victory as her hot streak continues and she high-fives and celebrates with fans at ringside before re-entering the ring. She waits for Jarvis to rise to her feet and the two stare at each other briefly before Jarvis extends a hand-out. Pariah meets it and the two shake hands in a great show of respect for each other before the celebrations continue.

But fear not friends as our match with Heavy Duty will instead take place on next Wednesday's American Wrestling. So, Ladies and Gentlemen, if you have any interest in seeing D.C and I continue our dominant streak over The Business and be the reason for Thatcher and Ducont eventually getting kicked out of the group because, let's face it, that's an inevitability at this stage then please join us on Wednesday evening because once I dispose of this bumbling duo...

Bulldozer and Trent kicked off the action in this one which made sense given that they are the reason that these six are now here together. Smith led the early goings with some strong offence but a sneaky tag to 'The Marksman' allowed the heels to gain the upper hand. Raven tagged herself in to take advantage of the downed Smith but once he began to recover she opted to tag back out. The heels continued in this quick tag fashion keeping the big man grounded and even once he made the tag to Casey, Valentine found himself in the same spot and couldn't turn the tide. Robinson was back in and putting a hurt on Valentine with headlocks and cranking the neck of the second generation star. He turned the tide though with a german suplex out of nowhere and made the hot-tag to Charity who fired up and went to work on Robinson and even knocking Trent & Kirk to the floor in the process. She hit top rope and went for her Sugar Smack cutter but Raven dodged and tagged in Jameson who instantly started stomping on the legs of Sweet. Her partners attempted to intervene but were cut off by his partners. With Sweet screaming in pain and clutching her legs Jameson took the opportunity to snatch on his Bullseye cloverleaf submission causing Sweet to tap out instantly. The heels celebrated swiftly but hit the ramp as the faces cleared the ring. Smith & Valentine lifted Sweet and helped her out the ring as the heels looked on laughing.

He looked in no mood to mess around and wanted to fight. He entered the ring, called out for Enygma and awaited the masked veterans arrival which seemingly would never come. Enygma, however, emerged from underneath the ring behind JT rolled into it and sent Thompson flying through the ropes and to the floor with an emphatic drop kick. Not pausing for even a second Enygma then hit the ropes behind him, charged towards The Complete Package and vaulted himself over the top ropes in a tópe suicida to send Thompson to the floor again. The two then continued to brawl up the rampway and then they found themselves over the barricade and fighting through the audience. Thompson was reeling but grabbed a couple of chairs on his way through the crowd and started throwing them at Enygma to give himself some time but the veteran just kept coming. They continued brawling out onto the concourse where eventually arena security showed up and kept the two seperated as this 'match' had never even officially begun.

As the match progressed Cooper and Turk realised that if they could keep the 49 year old Krusher isolated from his partner they may have a better shot at victory and that's just what they did. Novak attempted to cause break ups but the babyfaces were wise to any potential antics and showed smarts beyond their years. With the advantage firmly on their side Turk bounced Karloff off the ropes, hoisted him and propelled him through the air towards Cooper who planted him with a cutter for their Dallas Drop finish. The ref counted to 3 and it's a momentum boosting win for The Texas Express. Winner: The Texas Express Rating: 62 <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> Two out of Three falls Rick Law [vs] Steve Frehley Rick Law entered the ring to a strong ovation from those in attendance and put on a brave face despite clearly seeming in pain with several bandages wrapped around his head and a guard covering most of his face. A broken jaw wouldn't do him any favours in this match but he was determined to continue regardless. The Dark Destroyer entered the ring and hadn't even a hint of mercy in his eyes. The bell rang and Frehley sprang from his corner with enormous agility and planted Law with a crushing big boot that instantly floored him. Frehley then continued to lay in heavy fists at the jaw of Law as we could hear him screaming in agony but failing to fight off Frehley. Frehley was so confident in himself that he pulled Law to his feet and then invited Big Bubba into the ring for a free shot. Bubba obliged and sent Law to the mat with a jaw shattering right hand that left the ref no option but to call for the DQ and give Law the first fall. Frehley chuckled to himself and covered Law for the 3 count instantly levelling the score. He pulled Law to his feet and threw him face first onto the turnbuckle in the corner before hoisting Law onto his shoulders and hitting him with Frehley's comet quickly followed by the 3-count. In a little over 5-minutes and after a truly dominant display this one was over.

The pounding of drums echoed throughout the arena as 49,000 fans stood to attention and roared to greet Mr USPW Nicky Champion who sprinted to the ring, just as Bubba exited. Champion made a beeline for Frehley and the two traded blows but Frehley couldn't hold off Hawkeye for long. Champion stepped through the rope and readied himself for his Hawkeye Hammer but was pulled to the floor by Bubba who latched on an enormous bear hug that looked to squeeze the life out of Champion. He held it for about 30 seconds and as we saw Champion fading he threw the Icon into the ring. Champion stumbled to his feet and was met with a Dark Destroyer Spear to jeers from the audience. Nicky Champion is certainly back but it appears that Frehley still has his number.

This triple threat was a great match that really showcased why the USPW women's division may be the strongest in wrestling today. A healthy mix of brawling, technical and aerial offence in this match ensured something for everyone. Quine had a few moments throughout where she looked in danger and with only a 33% chance of retaining but Quine is as wily a champion as they come. With Strong seemingly out of action Sara Marie planted the champion with her Energy Burst finisher not once but twice and made the cover but Strong broke up the pin, sent Marie flying from the ring and covered herself but Quine kicked out at 2.9 to the surprise of Strong. Strong fumed and raised Quine to her feet and attempted a Strong Arm Tactic but the champion ducked it and hit her patented K.O. Kick. Sara Marie entered the fray but was also met with a K.O. Kick herself. Quine continued to compose herself and hit a second K.O. Kick on Strong as she was rising to her feet. Quine then covered the 7-time champion and secured the pinfall to defend her title.

Most of The Business were absent from Money's side tonight with the exception of his protégé Sterling Whitlock. Wolf, as is usually the case, was flying solo in this one but he would never let that be an issue. For the first 12 minutes of this championship match it was relatively even with Money perhaps being the more dominant of the two in terms of offense but it took a few eye pokes and cheap tactics to end up in this situation. Money ascended to the top rope and looked intent on hitting his Dollars From Heaven frog splash but Wolf kipped up, sprang to the top rope to meet Money and land a Superplex on the champion that 'popped' the crowd. The momentum shifted and Wolf was now in charge. He 'fired up' and hit a trio of suplexes followed up by a standing moonsault but could only muster a 2 count. The challenger was frustrated but not discouraged however Whitlock chose this moment to get involved. He sprang into the ring and charged at Wolf who ducked his clothesline and floored Whitlock with a big boot. He then stepped through the ropes and prepared to vault himself into the ring for his friends Hawkeye Hammer which crushed Whitlock. Wolf saw Money slowly rising to his feet and hoisted the champion onto his shoulders and he flattened the champion with his Wolf Tamer (AA) finish and made the cover... 1... 2.... FOOT ON THE ROPES! But it wasn't from Money's own efforts. Wolf looks up in disbelief and sees Jack Jackson stood ringside looking very smug and pleased with himself. Jackson pulled Money's foot onto the bottom rope. Wolf chuckles lightly to himself before rolling out the wrong and setting after Double J. They run around the ring twice before JJ rolls into the ring and begins to roll out the other side. While Wolf continues to chase he is met by Money as he enters the ring who halts the challengers momentum with a stiff armed clothesline. A swift boot the gut follows on the downed Wolf as Money slowly ascends to the top rope. He poses for the fans before flying through the air and flattening Wolf with Dollars From Heaven. He makes the cover... 1..... 2..... FOOT ON THE ROPES! Money left the challenger to close to the ropes and the challenger had the wherewithal to get his foot onto the rope. Money looks pissed and looks across to JJ who now has Whitlock standing beside him looking irked at the youngsters presence. Money pulls Wolf into the centre of the ring, ascends to the top rope again and hits Dollars From Heaven for the second time. He makes the cover... 1.... 2..... KICKOUT! The match seemed a foregone conclusion but Running Wolf may be the most determined challenger Money has had yet during this title reign. The champion can't believe what's happening. Double J attempts to roll into the ring but the referee confronts him and attempts to prevent him from doing so. This affords Whitlock the chance to enter the ring. He quickly hoists Wolf up to his feet before planting him with Whitlock's End (DDT). Money doesn't cover though instead grabbing Wolf by the legs, hoisting them and flipping him over into his Bank Roll Boston Crab. Wolf bursts to life with the pain in his back and legs sending a jolt through him as he desperately crawls towards the rope. He attempts to latch onto the bottom rope but Jackson grabs it and pulls it a few inches further away from the reach of the challenger. This allows Money time to pull Wolf back into the centre of the ring where, despite the challengers best efforts, he has no option but to submit. Winner: Rich Money (Money makes the 8th defence of his USPW World Championship Rating: 75 </div>

USPW Stars, Stripes & Slams! Preview LIVE! from the Alderbrook Grounds in the North West comes USPW Stars, Stripes & Slams! The first special event of the new decade from the biggest company in North America. Streaming live also on Reverie will be a night of action that you will not want to miss out on with all four titles on the line as well as a couple of grudge matches scheduled too. Let's have a quick run down and preview of the show. Jett & Moor © vs Shockwave The USPW tag team titles are on the line in this one. Neither team has been showcased much on USPW TV over the past month (such is the quality and array of talent within the company) but Jumbo & Atlas are out for revenge in this one. They dropped the tag titles to Jett & Moor a few months ago and have been looking to reclaim them ever since with this potentially seeming like their last chance to do so. They come into this strong but Jumbo appears to be clutching his knee a lot so it'll be interesting to see how this plays out. Roger Cage © vs Zeus This one is for the USPW National Title which Cage has held for 3 months now. The past few weeks have been a case of beatdowns and smacktalk between these two with each looking to their respective back-ups for support. Zeus has Bad Intentions by his side (and on his mind) while Cage roped in the young duo of American Gold to provide support. This should be an entertaining one. Jillian Jarvis vs Pariah 'The Lone Wolf' is riding a huge wave of momentum over these last few months and is one of the hottest commodities in the company. 'The Iron Lady' has taken it upon herself to knock Pariah down a few pegs and make sure she knows her place in the hierarchy of the women's division. This either turns Pariah white hot or puts Jarvis firmly in the title picture. Bulldozer Brandon Smith, Casey Valentine & Charity Sweet vs Trent Shaffer, Kirk Jameson & Raven Robinson What initially started off as a rivalry between Smith & Shaffer in a 'who's the better man' deal has escalated into something much bigger with other stars getting involved and resulting in this mixed tag team match. Singles matches have taken place over the last few weeks with wins for either team but we've yet to see Sweet & Robinson get physical with each other. As far as we're led to believe this is a fully integrated tag team match, not just men vs men and women vs women so expect shenanigans to ensue. The Texas Express vs The Cold Warriors This one is a tale as old as time. The young and upcoming hot shot duo vs the veteran team in a classic good vs evil tale. This will either prove that The Texas Express are ready to take the next step in their careers or that they're not quite at the level required to move forward in the tag ranks. They have momentum on their side but The Cold Warriors are three-time champions and won't roll over easily. Rick Law vs Steve Frehley This match has the special stipulation of it being two-out-of-three falls. In the absence of Nicky Champion, Rick Law has stepped forward as the man who wants to stop the seemingly unstoppable 'Dark Destroyer' but he comes into this one severely hindered. Not only has Frehley recently gained back-up in the form of a towering man named Big Bubba but Law seemingly broke his jaw at the latest American Wrestling show but has insisted on still stepping up to fight here. Who knows how much a toll this will take the man of justice? Jaime Quine © vs Alicia Strong vs Sara Marie The third of our four title matches features the women's title on the line. Strong & Marie faced off for #1 contendership a few weeks back but the match ended in a double count-out. Rather than drag the affair out any longer the champion, and darling of Social Media, stated arrogantly that she'll face both here at the event and still emerge as champion. With Sara Marie being a former champion and Strong being a former 7-time champion it surely won't be as straightforward as Quine is proclaiming. Rich Money © vs Running Wolf The World Championship is on the line here as Money looks to make his 8th successful defence of the title in his 6 months as champion so far. Wolf has been riding a strong wave of momentum in his fight against The Business but is yet to win the big one in his young career. Money hasn't had the best of times of late through his stable and that could be cause for distraction and playing on his mind. Plus with the return of Champion a few days ago to back-up the babyfaces this could be Wolf's time to rise to the top of the food chain. And that is the official line-up for Stars, Stripes & Slams! We also potentially could have Natural Storm vs Heavy Duty and Joss Thompson vs Enygma as were alluded to on American Wrestling a few days ago so that just stacks the card even more so than it already is. USPW have been looking to kick-off the new decade strongly under the tenure of Alicia Strong running the show and this looks to be a promising start to it all. We'll see you Saturday night!

I'm a mark for Eddie Gilbert so I'll be keeping tabs on this. Good start.

Alex DeColt. Perhaps one of the most misunderstood men in the business. I'm a sucker for anything DeColt and was once relevant to CGC. Tremendous start and characterisation.

Of course I'm here to take all of this in!

<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. The 'go-home' show before Stars, Stripes and Slams! is in the books for USPW so let's dive into the evenings events and see what went down on American Wrestling! We were back in the South East for this episode that latest figures suggest was watched about 11.4 million viewers on Reverie, that's an increase of almost 1 million viewers on last weeks episode. Attendance was also at 12,542 Segment 1: The show opens up with an elaborate hype package for Stars, Stripes and Slams! and a few short promos from some of the stars who'll be featured on the show. We then had Brock Cornish and company hyping up the 'Special Event' and this evenings matches to come. It was a solid segment that put over everything neatly and clarified some of the matches for the upcoming 'Special Event'. It also makes sense from a business standpoint to start calling their monthly shows that as opposed to Pay-Per-Views since... well, they don't do Pay-Per-Views anymore. A strong opening! (85) Segment 2: The Olympus Order vs Roger Cage and American Gold After a strong opening to the show it was followed up by this underwhelming match that didn't do a whole lot to hype the National Title match for Saturdays event. The match clocked in at a shade under 11 minutes which is longer than it should've gone, especially given the inexperience of the tag teams involved, but it's good that the company and Strong aren't afraid of giving them TV time. Cage picked up the win for his trio putting away Valhalla with his Cage Rage. (51) Segment 3: The announce team then throw us to a sit-down interview with The Texas Express being interviewed by Danny Jillefski. They put over their upcoming opponents The Cold Warriors but put themselves over also and set their sights on the tag titles after they win on Saturday. Not known for their promo ability the youngsters did well here in a short segment. It probably helps a lot that DJ was interviewing and it was a pre-tape. (57) Segment 4: We happen upon Rich Money backstage minus his entourage as he appears to be readying himself for the main event. Jack Jackson approaches and appears to reaffirm his message from last week that he's available should Money deem fit a reshape of The Business. Another possible tease here for future shenanigans. Jackson is solid in promo form and a potential coupling with Money could be very interesting going forward. Not to mention there's already a Rich Money protége in the form of Sterling Whitlock. A fun little segment. (72) Segment 5: Melody, Sara Marie, Pariah & Miss American Pie vs Alicia Strong, The Muscle Monsters & Jillian Jarvis A fun but unspectacular affair that allowed everyone to get a brief little showcase for themselves. The focus of the match were the rivalries between Alicia Strong and Sara Marie and then Pariah and Jillian Jarvis as we build to the matches involving them come Saturday. We got a nice little tease as the fans 'popped' for Strong & Pariah facing off as, arguably, the two are the most popular women on the roster. Miss American Pie appeared to just be making up the numbers given her affiliation with anyone involved but that was fine. The surprising finish came when things boiled over to a brawl between them all but with Pariah and Strong as the legal women Pariah vaulted herself from the top rope planting Strong with a surprise Tornado DDT and picking up the 3 count to surprise everyone. (58) Segment 6: Eddie Howard vs Rajah The third match of the evening was better than it really probably should've been given it's 8-minute run time but that could be because Eddie Howard is starting to really shine these days. Rajah is the fodder of The Business and this match now means that Howard has mixed it up with all members of the faction, except for Whitlock but including Money, in some form and come out on top each time. There were no shenanigans here. Howard picked up the clean win via his Crash and Burn finisher. (63) Segment 7: A nice little promo package hyping up the triple threat for the women's title on Saturday featuring Jaime Quine defending against Alicia Strong and Sara Marie. The match features 3 of the best wrestlers in the world and could very well steal the show at Stars, Stripes and Slams! (76) Segment 8: Joss Thompson vs Andre Jones Certainly the MOTN from an in-ring standpoint these two men put on a good wrestling match for 12-minutes. A lot of back and forth action before Thompson really started to gain an advantage. All hope looked to be lost for Jones before the match was briefly interrupted by a short video package featuring the green mask we saw a few weeks before, that also interrupted a Joss Thompson match, and hype an in-ring return. The holder of the mask was never named but everyone and their grandmother knows it's going to be Enygma. The package came to an end and Jones recovered to roll-up 'The Complete Package' for the 3 count and the unlikely victory. (76) Segment 9: Quickly following the match Joss picks up a house mic and we can see that he is pissed. He shoots off a quick promo citing that he knows it's Enygma, he's fed up of the silly games and that he's calling out the veteran for a match at Stars, Stripes and Slams! so he can finish this and move on. A very good, fiery promo from Thompson who can talk with the best of them when he gets going. Thompson is the MVP of the evening. (81) Segment 10: Bulldozer Brandon Smith vs 'The Marksman' Kirk Jameson Next we had a continuation of the fallout from last weeks events of Trent Schaffer and Casey Valentine and the beatdown that occurred there. This was a good match between two guys with contrasting styles and it entertained. Schaffer and Robinson joined Jameson ringside to support and, in seeing this, Smith was joined by Charity and Casey. Now of course this was eventually going to descend into chaos but it took 8 minutes of action and a certain Smith victory before the heels hit the ring and attacked followed by the babyfaces attempting to make the save. A messy finish that went down as a Smith victory via DQ. (63) Segment 11: The post-match fight was eventful and chaotic. The 6 stars gave us an entertaining but brief brawl that came to a close with the heels all gathered on the outside and Charity Sweet hitting the ropes, vaulting over the hunched Smith and taking out the heels with a spectacular Tope Con Hilo. Smith then grabbed a mic and called out the 'bad guy' trio for a 3 v 3 match at Stars, Stripes and Slams! A fun segment that keeps the crowd 'hot' for the main event. (73) Segment 12: We then jumped backstage to Rich Money, adorned in his wrestling gear, finishing his warm-up and then turning to address the rest of The Business. He specifically chooses to address Ducont and Thatcher and informs them that they will face off against Natural Storm at Stars, Stripes and Slams! and if they don't win then they're done! He also informs them that he expects everyone to be there tonight if things fall apart. The group agree and file out of the room leaving Rich behind. Just when we think it's over from behind another door in the room appears Zeus who just nods approvingly towards Rich. A weird end to the segment that seems to suggest that Zeus, like his namesake, may be some sort of omnipotent deity who just appears and has great authority. Strange end but seeds continue to be planted for a reshuffle of The Business. (64) Segment 13: Rick Law & Running Wolf vs Steve Frehley & Rich Money A star-studded TV main event featuring 4 of the 5 top guys in the company resulted in a good match that could've been better but it was marred by, what reports are suggesting now, a legitimate injury to Rick Law. At about the halfway point of the bout, Law was in the midst of a comeback spot and went for a splash in the corner which Money dodged but Law appeared to propel himself too far as he landed face first on the ring post and was floored briefly. Reports are coming through now, days before his 2-out-of-3 falls match with Frehley that he now has a broken jaw. The match rolled on though and it met it's DQ end in favour of the babyfaces after members of The Business got involved. (73) Segment 14: The post-match becomes an absolute mess as a mass of bodies hit the ring including Big Bubba, Sterling Whitlock, Ducont & Thatcher and Rajah. They all begin joining their respective bad guy leader in beating down the babyfaces making sure they're in no shape to fight at Stars, Stripes and Slams! when we hear the familiar pounding drum beat and battle cry that signals the return of the Icon, Nicky Champion. The crowd unleash a roar as 'Hawkeye' sprints to the ring and begins clobbering the bad guys with rights, lefts and swinging lariats as he clears the ring. Everyone begins backing off in different directions as they stare back at the ring at a 'pumped up' Champion who helps Law and Wolf to their feet as the trio stand tall to end the show. (84) A considerable improvement on the previous shows this month. The events of the evening flowed smoothly, we now have a much clearer picture of what the matches are going to be at saturdays 'Special Event' of Stars, Stripes and Slams! and we saw the return of Champion to the company after a few months of absence. It's clear that Strong is starting to find her footing with the roster at her disposal but the real test will start to come after Saturday and the stories begin flowing from her own mind and that of the creative team around her. The injury to Law is unfortunate but it'll be interesting to see if that has any effect on the upcoming match with Frehley. All in all it was a good show. The best of the month and it sets up Stars, Stripes and Slams! nicely. A 76 is a good rating for this episode. Til next time friends, I'm Jo-Ro. </div>

The 'go-home' episode of American Wrestling is upon us as we are now days away from the first special event of the year - Stars, Stripes and Slams! Wednesday night is sure to be a great night of action so let's run down what's in store. Zeus will team up with his Olympus Order cohorts Bad Intentions in 6-man tag action against Roger Cage and American Gold as a precursor to their National Title match on Saturday night. We also have more multi-person tag action to follow that will continue to hype up two announced matches for Stars, Stripes and Slams! Melody, Pariah, Sara-Marie and Miss American Pie will join forces against Alicia Strong, The Muscle Monsters and Jillian Jarvis Eddie Howard of Natural Storm will face off against Rajah of The Business in singles action as the entanglement of these units continues after the 6-man tag at the start of the year. Joss Thompson, whom we haven't seen in a few weeks since his post-match interruption via a 'cryptic' video, will face of vs Andre Jones in what we expect to be an excellent encounter. Bulldozer Brandon Smith and Kirk Jameson will face off in singles action. Things spilled over into a brawl last week as Trent Schaffer and Casey Valentine faced off and it looks like we're heading towards a 6-person tag at Saturday's event but we're still awaiting an 'official' announcement of that. The main event sees Rick Law & Running Wolf vs Steve Frehley & Rich Money in what is a star-studded affair and an avenue to hype both of their respective singles matches at Stars, Striples and Slams! Another exciting night of action ahead and the final stop before our first Special Event of the year. You won't want to miss it. Announced Match Card
