FIP The Usual Suspects (4/22/2005)- Brandon, FL

So apparently no one has any idea how the champions will be crowned because there is no management in FIP.

FIP TAG TEAM TITLE TOURNAMENT? MATCH: The Carnage Crew vs. The Heartbreak Express- 2/10
After the match, Dunn & Marcos come out and challenge the Carnage Crew to a match.

FIP TAG TEAM TITLE TOURNAMENT? MATCH: The Carnage Crew vs. The Ring Crew Express- 1/10
The Ring Crew Express win after the Heartbreak Express interfere.

FIP TAG TEAM TITLE TOURNAMENT? MATCH: Vordell Walker & Homicide vs. Roderick Strong & Jerrelle Clark- 7/10
A great pure wrestling match.

FIP TAG TEAM TITLE TOURNAMENT? MATCH: Sal Rinauro & Spanky vs. Steve Madison & James Gibson- 6/10
Gibson working in the heel role? That is just so backwards!
Oh. Good. There we go. Madison attacks Gibson after the match and Sal and Spanky make the save. Madison challenges Gibson to a match tomorrow night.

CM PUNK PROMO- Punk claims that he is the FIP World Champion (he isn’t, he stole the physical title belt from Homicide), but says that Homicide will have a chance to â€"win” it back from him tomorrow night.
Punk then outlines the goal of his stable, the New Dawn. He is gathering a collection of people who were nerds and outcasts and making them into an army. He then introduces his tag team partner Don Juan.
DON JUAN PROMO- Apparently Punk didn’t do his research, because Don Juan claims to be everything Punk says his stable isn’t. Homicide then jumps Punk.

FIP TAG TEAM TITLE TOURNAMENT? MATCH: DP Associates (Jimmy Rave & â€"Fast” Eddie Vegas) (w/Dave Prazak) vs. Aaron Epic & Evan Starsmore- 2/10

FIP TAG TEAM TITLE TOURNAMENT? MATCH: DP Associates (Jimmy Rave & â€"Fast” Eddie Vegas) (w/Dave Prazak) vs. The Ring Crew Express- 4/10

CM PUNK PROMO AGAIN- he claims that he just had Homicide arrested for assault, then challenges any tag team to a match right now against himself and Don Juan

FIP TAG TEAM TITLE TOURNAMENT? MATCH: Sal Rinauro & Spanky vs. Don Juan & CM Punk (w/Mr. Milo Beasley)- 4/10

3 WAY ELIMINATION MATCH: Rainman vs. Antonio Banks vs. Jared Steel- 4.75/10
Might have been 5/10 if the crowd hadn’t been dead quiet.

The New Dawn comes out and Punk starts to cut a promo, but he is interrupted by Roddy & Jerrelle. Then they are interrupted by Prazak, who suggests a three-way elimination match to determine the first FIP World Tag Team Champions.

3 WAY ELIMINATION MATCH TO CROWN THE FIRST EVER FIP WORLD TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS: Roderick Strong & Jerrelle Clark vs. CM Punk & Don Juan (w/Mr. Milo Beasley) vs. DP Associates (Jimmy Rave & â€"Fast” Eddie Vegas) (w/Dave Prazak)- 5/10
An underwhelming main event for an underwhelming tournament.

Overall, a very bad show from FIP. Almost all of the matches were short, the crowd was pretty quiet most of the time, and the lack of rules or any sort of structure to the way the process of deciding the tag champs really left you with a feeling that you had no idea what the hell was going on.
