Main Event
Non-Title Match
First Blood Match
Matt Willig defeated Uriah by first blood
All others were banned from ringside, and the ref stayed out of the way as these two men battered and beat each other from pillar to post. When Uriah got a hold of the ringbell hammer the two rolled around and fought over it like a gun from a movie scene. Uriah kicked Willig hard in the crotch getting control of the hammer. But when he tried to bring down the hammer Willlig brough his forearm up to block the hammer. The two continued to brawl, and as if Willig's fight wasnt uphill enough he was now figting one handed, as it looked like his forearm was busted. Uriah began to beat Willig and throw him around the ring. He seemed to really be enjoying beating the living hell out of his opponent, and didnt notice when Willig took a chance to pull a turnbuckle cover off. A few seconds later Uriah was charging at Willig who stepped out of the way and put a drop toehold on the champ sending him head first into the exposed buckle. He came up bloodied and the ref awarded the match to Willig.
Uriah nailed Willig after the match though, and stepped on his hand. He made it obvious he was going to stomp on Willig's injured arm and do even more damage. But he paused as he saw his manager Jessica Hatch coming down to ringside. Before she could make it down to the ring though Summer Delin jumped her from behind, delivering a vicious bulldog on the floor. Uriah then left the ring and caught an unsuspecting Summer who was too busy taunting Hatch. Uriah prepared to chokeslam the girl, until owner Jack Larkin came out in a rare show of bravery waving him off and threatening suspensions and stripping of the title. It seemed to work as Uriah finally let go of Summer who collapsed to the ground holding her throat. But before Larkin could celebrate he was grabbed by the throat and the huge champion chokeslammed him on the hard ground.

And that's all. Well if CW had one show that I checked out it would be an improvement. I can't even do a schedule for them as there is not enough shows they had in the pipeline or cancelled to fill one out.
 
However, the following were shows that if they had picked up I might have actually checked out.
 
Raven (drama) (CW)

drama about the dc comics character, the daughter of a human and a demon who uses her skills to fight crime while trying to keep her dark internal elements in check

Rush (drama) (CW)

drama about undercover cops working the new york nightclub scene

...and that's it two shows.
 
There will not be a lot of CW on Abaza TV this year!

Programming Note

Next week is the big week of Network Upfronts, where the television networks unveil their prime time schedules for next fall. What used to be a behind the scenes event for advertisers and affiliates has turned into an event much like the NFL or NBA draft with lots of intrigue, guessing, and waiting.

Abaza TV will provide a one hour analysis each night next week May 16th - 20th of the 5 networks upfronts. We will look at their schedule, come up with our own dream schedule of what we would have liked to have seen, and talk about which shows might be picked up by Abaza TV next year.

The dream schedules will be what shows we would pick from their returning shows, shows cancelled this past year, and their developmental shows.

The schedule of upfront analysis on Abaza TV will be as follows;
Mon May 16th; NBC
Tue May 17th; FOX
Wed May 18th; ABC
Thu May 19th; CBS
Fri May 20th; CW
