Summer Heat marked the return of former CCW Heavyweight Champion Dustin Rhodes after being sidelined with a knee injury. He filled in for Big Til who, ironically, is out of commission following arthoscopic surgery on his knee. Dustin tagged with Bruno Sassi to face the up and coming team of Dade County Collision. Bruno and Dustin appeared to be getting along with one another and worked well as a team. They even seemed to be having fun while trying to one up each other with their offensive moves. Dade County Collision was not to be denied though as they managed to gain the advantage on Dustin and cut the ring in half, preventing the tag to a well rested Bruno Sassi. After several minutes of punishment, Dustin was able to roll out of the way and avoid 340 pounds of Tito Barrera that was about to crash into him from the second turnbuckle. Dustin made the tag to Bruno who came in and cleaned house, but eventually all four men were in the ring as the ref lost all control. Dustin gave Barrera the bulldog while Bruno gave Kaotic Romeo the Initiation and the ref counted three on Romeo, the legal man in the match.

It was time to celebrate, or so Bruno and his manager Seth Gregg thought. Dustin is very competitive and wasn't happy watching Bruno score the pin while he had just taken a beating. The two began to argue, much to the dismay of Seth and the crowd in attendance. Seth was able to calm the situation down enough and get everyone out of the ring and back to the locker room so this could all be straightened out in a rational manner.

In the main event of the evening Warlord was facing Dok Rivers for the Heavyweight Title. Dok's manager, Harry Venis, had a plan just in case Warlord was too much for Rivers to handle. He ended up putting his plan into effect and ordered Kahagas, Dade County Collision and several other CCW Superstars to hit the ring, causing a disqualification. A beat down of the Warlord ensued until the locker room emptied and the bad guys headed for the hills. Bruno and Dustin were among those who came to the rescue and Dustin was ticked off at Bruno for running out ahead of him. Again the crowd was in disbelief. Finally the ring cleared and Summer Heat was a wrap.

In an effort to nip a bad situation in the bud, Bruno invited Dustin out with him and Seth after the matches so they could get some food and put this pettiness behind them. Several of the wrestlers saw them leave together and everything seemed fine. What happened next may never really be known because nobody is talking, but Bruno came into Bodyslam University the Monday after Summer Heat with a black eye and a broken nose. Sassi is trying to claim that it happened during the melee in the main event but nobody even remembers him taking a shot, let alone one bad enough to mark up his face the way it was.

Is this situation worse than we first thought? We could find out at September Fallout on September 6th as Dustin and Bruno will once again join forces and compete as a team. Can The Man in Charge Seth Gregg keep everything under control? Or are Bruno and Dustin destined to be opponents rather than partners? We'll find out at Fallout and we hope to see everyone at the matches!
