- Cameras open in the Team Corino locker room where Steve Corino is with Trent Acid and Johnny Kashmere. Corino congratulates Acid on winning the RAGE title, but warns him that next week Corino is in a number one contender's match so Acid shouldn't expect to hold the title for too long. Acid and Corino seem about ready to come to blows when the door bursts open and CM Punk storms in the room. He yells at Corino for eliminating him from the Battle Royale two weeks ago, saying the only reason he was beat so quick was that he trusted Corino to have his back, not stick a knife in it. Some more heated words were exchanged between the two before Punk told Corino to watch his back and then left the room.

Really impressive start to the PW-RAGE show this week. These two teams met each other in the first round of the tag team tournament during the second week of RAGE to the same result. This time however, by winning the match Styles and Spanky have earned the number one contendership for the PW-RAGE tag team titles held by Frankie Kazarian and Matt Stryker. These two teams will face each other next week for the tag titles.

Really fast match that involved a lot of brawling early on. Awesome dominated for most of this short bout until Red scored big with a rana followed by the InfraRed to pick up the win. Awesome attacked Red after the bell but Altar Boy Luke, who lost to Awesome last week, quickly ran to the ring with a chair and caused Awesome and Father James Mitchell to bail.

These six were given and oppurtunity and took it, giving the fans a really solid show. Despite never even being tagged in the match, Elix Skipper got his licks in on all three of his opponents. Hero was almost eliminated very early in the match but managed to tag out to Luke. From there, Rave and Luke used their speed and excellent teamwork to to slowly wear down Kashmere and Mafia both to the point where Rave could lock in the Satellite Crossface and score the win for his team.
 

Joey Matthews pinned James Storm with the Inverted DDT in 0:12:46.

This one never really got out of the gates unfortunately. Matthews dominated the entire match but Storm just kept kicking out at the last second. Storm had a few shots on offensive, but never for long enough to really matter before Matthews wrapped things up.
 

Steve Corino pinned Chris Harris with the Old School Expulsion in 0:08:16.

Harris made a slightly better showing here than his tag partner but in the end it was to no avail as Steve Corino scored big witht he Old School Expulsion and ended the night in defeat for both members of AMW.
 
- Frankie Kazarian and Matt Stryker are in their locker room with the RAGE Tag Team titles in their hands. Frankie apologizes to Stryker for being occupied with the RAGE title tonight, keeping Stryker out of action for the evening. Stryker said it was fine, then told Kazarian to go out and beat Acid tonight just like they as a team would defeat Styles and Spanky next week.

Trent Acid pinned Frankie Kazarian with the Yakuza Kick in 0:36:43.
Rating: *****
(Trent Acid retained the RAGE Heavyweight Title.)

Comments
Somehow Acid and Kazarian managed to top their amazing match from last week by having a nearly forty minute epic here tonight. Both men pulled out everything in their vast arsenals, trying to find some way to take their opponent by surprise by these two know each other so well. Kazarian managed to avoid the Yakuza kick on several occassions and Acid did the same against Kazarian's own Wave of the Future. This match saw it all from these two young stars, mat wrestling, high flying, brawling, head drops, everything that any kind of wrestling mark could ask. When Acid finally hit the Yakuza kick to put things away, the entire audience knew one thing, they'd just seen these two guys established as PW-RAGE superstars.

Neat little circuit.

Do you post it anywhere besides here? (website?)

No, I haven't posted it anywhere yet. I just tend to run cards between classes or whenever I'm not doing something around the dorm then just post it on here when I get it finished.

That would explain some of the very seat of the pants booking choices.
