River City Wrestling #38
Chalmers Community Club, Winnipeg, Manitoba
Last warm-up show before RCW hits the big time with a show at the Winnipeg Arena on September 26th.
Opening Bout:
Kenny Ho defeated Chrisscat by submission with the stomach claw at 9:31
Special Challenge Match: (Lady v Midget)
Jeannie Rahib & Billy the Kid battled to a double countout at 6:45
**Billy the Kid came out prior to the match and challenged the "unofficial" RCW Women's champion to a match as there doesn't seem to be any worthy women, it was up to him, a man, to put her in her place. Rahib accepted the challenge but was only on-site to sign autographs tonight and didn't have her wrestling gear on. She had to fight wearing an extremely tight pair of designer jeans. Not much of a match, mostly a hair pulling, slap filled fight that spilled out of the ring.
Premiere Appearance:
Bonecrusher defeated Russel Riggs by submission to the bearhug at 3:55.
**Newcomer Bonecrusher is a short (5'7) muscular, and thick man (240 lbs.) and apparently has an incredible squueze as he quickly submitted the former RCW tag team champion. After the match Stan Rodgers looked to take a run at Bonecrusher but decided that discretion was the better part of valor.
Special Match:
Clarke "Stampede" Roenick defeated Stan Rodgers by countout at 7:02
**Roenick controlled most of this match and finally Rodgers just let himself get counted out.
RCW Tag Team Title Match
Royal Kiwis (Kelly Hobin & Keith McIvor) (champions)
v
Les Voyageurs (Jacques LaToque & Luc Lagimodiere)
Les Voyageurs defeated the Kiwis by disqualificiation at 14:40.
**This was a pretty even match, but finally it looked like the Kiwis had control and were ready to finish it off. Lagimodiere made sure he "accidently" bumped into the ref which allowed LaToque to retrieve a chair and nail Hobin. When he tried to do the same to McIvor the Kiwi wrestled the chair away and then waffled both Voyageurs. Of course the ref awoke to see McIvor standing with the chair and called for the DQ.

MAIN EVENT
Handi-Cap Match
The Destroyer v Mike Valiant & Chris Lyon
Destroyer started strong and dominated first Valiant and then Lyon. However the villians soon took over with the inevitable cheating and doubleteaming. This brought Clarke Roenick down to the ring to try and stand in the corner of the Destroyer. The ref though wouldn't allow it and argued with Roenick before banishing him to the back. In the meantime this allowed Valiant and Lyon free reign and they punished the Destroyer with double team moves. The Destroyer kicked out of several pin attempts and seemed to be gathering momentum as the villians grew frustrated. Roenick returned to ringside, this time hiding from the ref by crouching alongside the ring apron. When the time was right he interfered - but instead of helping the Destroyer he used his arms to hold down the Destroyer's legs on a pin attempt, and allowed Lyon and Valiant to pick up the win.
[Chris Lyon & Mike Valiant defeated the Destroyer at 17:47 when Lyon pinned the Destroyer thanks to outside interference by Clarke Roenick]
After the match Roenick joined Lyon & Valiant in the ring, and the 3 stood together, united, hand shakes all around.

Opening Bout:
Shiek Fal-Had pinned Danny Potenza after a low blow undetected by the referee at 3:12
**FAl-Had made his in-ring premiere and cheated his way past young Potenza

**The Roughnecks absolutely dominated the veteran tandem of Jay & Pepper.
Midget Action:
Billy the Kid defeated Tiny Thumb by pinfall after a bulldog at 6:01
**Billy the Kid used the ropes for leverage on the pin. This brought out Jeannie Rahib to protest, only for her to be attacked by BtK. Tiny Thumb though came to Rahib's aid.
Women's Action:
Jeannie Rahib defeated Ultra Venus by disqualification at 8:08 due to outside interference.
**Billy the Kid came from the back and attacked Rahib with a bullwhip. Tiny Thumb tried to come to her resuce again but he was taken down by Ultra Venus and the villians embarrased the fan favorites with tandem spankings.
Return of Timmy Rich:
Bonecrusher defeated Timmy Rich by submission with the bearhug at 9:00.
**Yes Rich still had the Tennessee Jr. Heavyweight bogus title but Bonecrusher was over the weight so could not "win" it. After the match Rich told the fans he would never come back to this two-bit town (which garnered cheers).

Royal Kiwis (Kelly Hobin & Keith McIvor) defeated Les Voyageurs (Jacques LaToque & Luc Lagimodiere) by pinfall when Hobin pinned LaToque after a piledriver at 18:30

**even match but Valiant and Lyon battled the last 5 minutes to stay alive. Lyon was a blood mess by the end of the bout.
MAIN EVENT
RCW HEAVYWEIGHT TITLE MATCH
The Destroyer (champion) v Clarke Roenick
**Valiant and Lyon were in no shape after their tag match to try and help out their new teammate Roenick. Destroyer wanted revenge but made a couple of crucial mistakes in the early going being too aggressive. Roenick controlled most of the middle of the match but was unable to put the champion away. The Destroyer rallied back and finished off Roenick with a German Suplex at 21:10
