River City Wrestling #101
Winnipeg Convention Cente, Winnipeg, MB

We are welcomed by the hosts Ron Strong & Mike Stone.

This week's main event will feature the re-match as Greg "the Hammer" Valentine takes on The Destroyer for the RCW Heavyweight title, with special guest referee Pat Patterson. But we will start things off tonight with a RCW Women's championship match. The challenger Jeannie Rahib has come back from purgatory, or rather from losing a loser-leaves-town match to win the chance tonight by beating the champ in an Indian Strap Match a couple weeks back. Can Tawney England hold onto her title tonight?

Opening Bout
RCW Women's Championship Match

Tawney England (champion) (/w Corrie England), Winnipeg, Manitoba
v
Jeannie Rahib, Toronto, Ontario

This match was a complete catfight with referee George Gadasky struggling to keep some semblence of control. Once again Corrie England became too involved in the match for the liking of Gadasky who banished her from ringside. But before that could occur Corrie had passed her sister a pair of brass knux which she hid in her bosom, and then used on Jeannie when the ref was distracted. This brought out Tanya Tataryn to complain to the ref who stopped the count. Corrie came out again from the back and attacked Tanya, pulling her off the apron. Jeannie was able to have time to recover because Gadasky was grilling her about the brass knux but could not take her up on her offer to stick his hand down her cleavage to retrieve them. Then Tawney was distracted by the fight outside the ring between Corrie and Tataryn. By the time she turned around Rahib struck with an inside cradle and got 1, 2, kickout!! Both women scramble to their feet, England goes for the roll-up, but Rahib counters and uses her extra 20-25 pounds to roll her over for the pin attempt, but only got a 2 count. Back on their feet, England goes for a suplex but its blocked by Rahib who counters with a snap suplex of her own. England gets to her feet, groggy, while Corrie having disposed of Tataryn jumps onto the ring apron. Rahib whips Tawney into Corrie knocking her off the ring apron, and the fans sense what is about to happen and are on their feet cheering. Jeannie takes Tawney down with a back suplex and gets the 1..2..3... new champion!!!

Jeannie Rahib defeats Tawney England by pinfall after a back suplex at 7:10
[Jeannie Rahib wins the RCW Women's Title]

Interview:
Rahib celebrates her new title in the ring and accepts congratulations from Tataryn who stays to watch her back. Rahib is ecstatic and the fans are appreciative that she has found a way to stay in RCW and to take the title from the hated England sisters.

River City Wrestling #102
Winnipeg Convention Cente, Winnipeg, MB

We are welcomed by the hosts Ron Strong & Mike Stone.

Tonight we have a tag team extravaganza, with four tag team matches scheduled for the show. The main event will feature the fallout from last week's main event, as RCW champion The Destroyer teams up with Ray Stevens, to take on the duo of Greg Valentine and Pat Patterson. If Patterson and Valentine win that match then Valentine will be granted another title shot at the Destroyer.

Opening Bout:
Women's Tag Team Match

Jeannie Rahib & Tanya Tataryn v Tawney & Corrie England
The RCW Women's champ Rahib was a house of fire in this match, but Tataryn was at times a weak link. However, Tataryn managed to survive after playing Ricky Morton for a couple minutes and get the hot tag to Rahib who proceeded to clean house. Just after she nailed Corrie with a spinebuster, and with Tawney knocked out of the ring, she went for the pin. But before she could get the pin a newcomer entered the ring and pulled her off by the hair. The newcomer had already pulled Tataryn off the ringapron and tossed her into the guardrail. She now nailed Rahib witha swinging neckbreaker.

Jeannie Rahib & Tanya Tataryn defeated the England Sisters by disqualification for outside interference at 6:24.

Post-Match: The newcomer left the ring area and went to grab the mic from the announce table. She announced that she was Judy Martin, a real professional wrestler of the top caliber, not like these third string hacks RCW has been presenting. She says she is here to take the belt away from Rahib, and that she vows it will take less then a month.

Brown then dragged him back into the ring and proceded to beat the tar out of him until he was rescued by RCW officials.





Pre-Match:

RCW matchmaker Marty Goldstein comes to the ring. He calls out Chris Lyon and Mike Valiant. While they both come down to the ring to a chorus of boos, the two former friends can barely stand to look at each other. That point is not lost to Goldstein, however he asks them to put aside their differences for a bit. He says that the current tag champions the Roughnecks (the fans cheer) do not have a very long list of potential opponents at this time. Goldstein says that because Lyon vacated the belts, they never lost them, and if they were willing to give it another try he would grant them a title shot tonight. Valiant is the first to say to Goldstein that he'll do it if Lyon does, to which Lyon just nods. Goldstein wishes them well.

River City Wrestling #103
Winnipeg Convention Cente, Winnipeg, MB

We are welcomed by the hosts Ron Strong & Mike Stone.



Opening Bout:

Buddy Lane v Kerry Brown

This match was set up last week when after losing a tag match together, Brown attacked his partner Lane and gave him a beatdown. Tonight's match began with Lane uncharacteristically attacking Brown before the bell. The match spilled outside but a brawl favored the rough and tumble Brown who took over the match. It wasn't until after surviving some near falls that Lane reverted to who brought him to the dance, out wrestling his opponent. A series of flying armdrags, dropkicks and a swinging neckbreaker had victory all but assured for Lane. However, Brown popped the referee to cause the DQ intentionally.

Buddy Lane defeated Kerry Brown by disqualification after hitting the referee at 8:51

Post-match: Brown attacked the knee of Lane wrapping it around the ringpost and slamming it several times. He continued his assault until RCW officials were able to make it to the ring and break it up.

Bout #2:

Ladie's Action
Tanya Tataryn v Judy Martin

The veteran Martin came to the ring with a chip on her shoulder. She didn't even take off her warm up jacket, going straight to work on Tataryn with some stiff uppercuts. A hard biel from the corner, followed by a legdrop set up a powerbomb finish.

Judy Martin defeated Tanya Tataryn by pinfall after a powerbomb at 1:43

Bout #3:

RCW Television Title Match

The Bounty Hunter (champion) v Ray Stevens

This was a re-match from a couple weeks back when these two battled to a double countout. Stevens had the better of the 275 pound Texan through much of the match but was having trouble putting him away. When he climbed to the top rope for the bombs away his title chances evaporated when Pat Patterson ran down to the ring and threw him off the top turnbuckle, causing our second intentional DQ of the night.

Ray Stevens defeated Bounty Hunter by disqualification due to outside interference by Pat Patterson at 7:05.

Post-Match:
The two on one beatdown was on, but lasted only moments before RCW champion the Destroyer came down to the ring to even the odds. He and Stevens sent Bounty Hunter and Patterson running for the hills.




Main Event

#1 Contenders Match, winner to get an RCW Title shot

Mike Valiant v Chris Lyon

Before the match can begin, "No One Like You" by the Scorpions play and the fans boo as Tawney and Corrie England make their way down to the ring. The fans chant "boot, boot, boot" at Tawney and "Scag, scag, scag" at Corrie. They are dressed in skin tight jeans and concert shirts. Entering the ring they go to the side of Chris Lyon.
Lyon has a mic. He tells the crowd that he promised them a surprise that would tip the scales of power here in RCW and bring the title back to his waist from the Destroyer. Well he has acquired the services of the England sisters to be his managers. With them at his side he says he will be unstoppable.
However, he tells Valiant that there is still time for him to join "the young lions" and take his place in RCW history. All he has to do is walk away, and give the title shot to Lyon. In return he will get the services of one of the England sisters, Corrie.
Valiant takes a few seconds to think about it well the crowd chants "boot", before telling Lyon that he is an egotistical maniac, and the only way he will see the RCW heavyweight title again is if he or the Destroyer shoves it down his throat.
Corrie slips behind Valiant and Tawney pushes him over in a schoolyard move. Lyon attakcs Valiant and the match is on.

These two have met many times and the action is always brutal and non-stop, in and out of the ring. Referee George Gadasky bans the England sisters from ringside sending them to the back. However, while he is distracted doing that Lyon rams Valiant head first into the ringpost and then jumps off the ring apron, smashing him in the lower back with the ring bell. Back in the ring Lyon continues to press the advantage. He gets his Boston crab finisher on but is too close to the ropes so Valiant manages to make the break. Valiant has a couple short bursts of offense, even getting his figure-four finisher on at one point, but was so weakened that Lyon managed to turn him over and reverse the pressure. Lyon continued to work over the lower back of Valiant and also would return time and time again to raking and gouging the eyes of his former friend. By the end of the match Valiant lived up to his surname continuing to fight Lyon despite not being able to even get to his feet because of the pain in his lower back. Lyon punished Valiant further by dropping a knee to the lower back from the top rope, and then slapped on the Boston crab in the middle of the ring. Valiant had no choice but to tap out after about 20 seconds in the hold.

Chris Lyon defeated Mike Valiant by submission with the Boston crab at 14:10.
[Chris Lyon is the #1 contender for the RCW Heavyweight Title]

Post-Match:
The England sisters returned to the ring but instead of celebrating with Lyon, while he distracted the ref they went to work on Valiant over top of him like a pack of jackyls. They raked their long nails across his back and choked him.
The Destroyer hit the ring and sent the three scurrying, but as the camera panned to Valiant he could be seen bleeding from many nail rakes across the back and was foaming at the mouth after being choked out.
The Destroyer was calling for medical help as we faded to black.

See ya next week.

River City Wrestling #104
Winnipeg Convention Cente, Winnipeg, MB

We are welcomed by the hosts Ron Strong & Mike Stone.


Opening Bout:

Keith Hart & J.D. Miller, combined weight of 412 pounds
V
Rob Flett & Neil Sutherland, combined weight of 430 pounds

Flett and Sutherland are new to the territory and have the look of young rookies. They are native Canadians, but do not use any of the stereotypical ring attire or gimmicks to associate themselves with their ethnicity. Instead they very much look like a couple of greasy headbangers. Keith Hart had very little trouble staying with the fast pace that Flett and Sutherland set, but Miller fell prey to some double-teaming and proved to be the weak link in the match. The end came when Flett climbed to the top rope, with Sutherland holding Miller’s hands behind his back, and the referee distracted keeping Hart from entering the ring. Flett jumped down with a chop right between the eyes of Miller to knock him out and get the pin.

Rob Flett & Neil Sutherland defeated Keith Hart & J.D. Miller by pinfall when Flett pinned Miller after a top-rope tomahawk chop at 9:40.

Post-Match:
Flett and Sutherland are interviewed and throw out the usual challenge to the current champions. They say they are no cigar store Indians here to amuse the crowd, that they are the real deal and will dress and act however they want.

Bout #3
Ray Stevens, 247 pounds, San Fransisco, CA
V
Pat Patterson, 250 pounds, Montreal, PQ

Despite being the fan favorite Stevens attacks his arch-enemy before the bell has even rung, Stevens goes to work with a stomachbreaker, some kneelifts to the gut, and then a front facelock. It’s a coordinated attack aimed at taking away Patterson’s breath, trying to get an early submission. Patterson though counters with a facerake and then goes to work mostly with punches, but also with armdrags, and a firemans carry into a slam. The match spills out of the ring where it turns ugly with Patterson whipping Stevens into the ringpost, then the guardrail and then choking him under the guardrail. Patterson controls most of the match, and holds onto control by distracting the ref and on two occasions delivering a lowblow to Stevens. Patterson also applies, and reapplies the sleeperhold, allowing his forearm to slip down until it is a chokehold. Stevens fights back and gets the sleeperhold onto Patterson but can’t quite finish him. He follows up with a piledriver but still only gets a 2 count. Patterson changes the tone with a thumb to the throat of Stevens, and then applies the sleeperhold again. But Stevens is ready for it, and counters with a jawbreaker. He then delivers a piledriver and climbs to the top turnbuckle for the bombs away. Patterson though decides to grab the ref by the ankle and topple him to the ground right on top of himself, which stops Stevens from jumping. Referee Lynn Powell though calls for the bell.

Ray Stevens defeated Pat Patterson by disqualification for abuse of official at 19:05
[approximately 12 minutes shown on television]


Roster Report:
Ron Strong tells us that Mike Valiant is having some problems with the muscles in his legs and will be resting for a while before returning to the ring.
Buddy Lane likewise is day-to-day trying to rehab after being attacked by Kerry Brown after their match. Lane is hoping to avoid surgery on his knee, but only time will tell.
Speaking of Kerry Brown, rather then pay a fine levied by the promotion for his cowardly attack on Lane, Brown has left the territory in the middle of the night without saying goodbye to anyone or giving proper notice.

In-ring interview:
Judy Martin calls out Jeannie Rahib, and this week the RCW Women’s champion is in the building. Martin challenges her, and then starts into her usual I’m a pro, you’re an amateur spiel. Rahib though is not having any of it and grabs the mic from Martin and tells her to bring that attitude of over confidence with her to the ring next week. Rahib though has her hands on the mic, so Martin deftly grabs the title belt off the shoulder of Rahib and clocks her upside the head. Martin says she’ll bring more then her attitude, she’ll bring the Women’s title as well. With that Judy Martin leaves for the back with the title belt in hand.

Main Event
RCW Heavyweight Title Match

The Destroyer (champion), 252 pounds, parts unknown
V
Chris Lyon, 236 pounds, Winnipeg, Canada (/w Corrie England)

The two greatest stars in the 4 year history of the promotion hook up one more time for the promotion’s greatest prize.
Lyon makes an awkward lunge at Destroyer who is too agile, and drops down, grabs the wrists of Lyon and monkey flips him head over heels. Destroyer though can’t hold the advantage and this match goes back and forth for a couple minutes until the Destroyer manages to get a bow and arrow submission on Lyon. The challenger though manages to make it to the ropes and returns the favor a minute later by trying to lock in the Boston crab. He has to settle for a half-boston though and that allows Destroyer to reach the ropes after about 20 seconds in the hold. The two continue to battle tooth and nail, and it stays mostly in the middle of the ring which keeps Corrie England out of the equation. However, once it does spill out of the ring the jezebel helps Lyon by attacking Destroyer from behind. This allows Lyon the advantage but can only get a 2 count after a slingshot suplex. Destroyer grabs the advantage again with a bodyslam, vertical suplex, and an armwringer. He then nails Lyon with a pumphandle suplex and goes for the pin. He gets the 1…and suddenly there is someone running into the ring. The newcomer delivers a big boot to the ribs of the champ, causing him to roll over. The big man drops a knee right to the bridge of the Destroyer’s nose, stunning him completely.
It’s Big Bad Bobby Duncum!!

The Destroyer defeats Chris Lyon by disqualification for outside interference by Bobby Duncum at 16:16.
[approximately 10 minutes shown on television]
[The Destroyer retains the RCW Heavyweight Championship]

Post-Match:
Duncum and Lyon high-five and embrace as they are joined first by Corrie England, and then by Tawney England. They pick up the Destroyer and after a big clothesline try to take off his mask. It looks like they might get it off as the Destroyer is sitting down in the ring, Bobby Duncum has his arms immobilized and Lyon is ripping off the mask, but we are out of time.

That’s it for another edition of River City Wrestling, see you next week.
