Great Gama defeated Moe Malone by submission to the Calcutta clutch at 9:01
-Malone made Gama earn this one. It was tooth and nail in the first 6 minutes, but all Gama in the last 3. But the East Indian star had trouble finishing off Malone because of his size. It was the third time with the Calcutta clutch locked on before Malone could stand the pain no longer and couldn't break the hold.
Interview:
Great Gama refuses to give just dues to Moe Malone, saying he got lucky. But Gama can barely catch his breath and after a minute doesn't look like he's going to make it through the interview. His sometimes partner Steve Blackman comes out to join him. Blackman says Malone did a decent job and with some more experience might amount to something. However, Blackman says the finish was never in doubt.

Then its only a matter of time before the champions are able to finish the job.

Main Event
RCW Heavyweight title Match
Steve Disalvo (/w Lisa Caress) (champion)
v
The Destroyer
Disalvo challenges Destroyer to a test of strength which Disalvo wins bringing Destroyer to his knees. The masked man though goes down to his butt and then rolls out of the fingerlocks. Disalvo asks for the test of strength again and this time they bang shoulder to shoulder, and again Destroyer drops to his knees. This time the champ brings up a knee and catches the masked veteran in the face. Disalvo locks on a half-nelson which he works, followed by a top wrist lock. That's a mistake though as Destroyer knows many counters and reverses it, and ends up with a hammerlock on the champ who gets a rope break.
Disalvo uses the ref as a screen and catches Destroyer with a closed fist to the head. He then throws him out of the ring. While Lisa Caress distracts the referee Buddy Lane, Disalvo chokes Destroyer. Back inside the ring its bodyslams, elbowdrops, and a reverse chinlock. Destroyer battles back by attacking the abs of Dislavo trying to knock the wind from him with elbows and shoulderblocks. But when he goes for a double leg takedown the champ has too much game left and drops the challenger with a double axhandle.
The champ uses a full-nelson, and then nails a gutwrench suplex for a 2 count. Disalvo goes for his finisher the running clothesline but the fans of Destroyer know that feeds right into his finisher the flying crucifix. Sure enough the masked man wraps himself around the arm and shoulder of the charging champion like an anaconda. But he can't pull him down and Disalvo drops Destroyer to the mat in a modified Samoan drop.
Disalvo drags Destroyer to the middle of the ring and nails a piledriver. He pins, and gets 1, 2, Kickout!!!
The champ nails a second piledriver, makes the pin, but he doesn't hook a leg, 1, 2, shoulder up!!
Disalvo wastes time arguing with Buddy Lane. He whips Destroyer to the buckle and then takes his eyes off of him to argue with Lane some more. By the time he goes to rush the corner everyone in the building except Disalvo knows that he is playing possum. He charges but Lisa is screaming at him, so he stops short of making the mistake. But his eyes are on Lisa for an explanation and so the Destroyer is able to step out and nail Disalvo with a standing sidekick, followed by a faceslam, and into a Boston crab.
But the champ is too strong for a crab, and he bridges out of it. The two men meet in the middle of the ring and exchange punches. Destroyer gets the better of it, so Disalvo resorts to eyerakes. He punishes the former champion with some hard shots and chokes. Finally Destroyer manages to roll-up the champion for a 2 count, then again for a 2 count, then a thrid roll-up for a 2 count.
Disalvo is sent to the ropes by the champ and nailed with a flying forearm. The challenger covers for 1, 2, Kickout.
Destroyer climbs to the top turnbuckle but with the ref looking at the champ instead Lisa is able to jump on the apron and push Destroyer off the top. Disalvo is on his feet first and goes for the running clothesline, but Destroyer is able to duck under. The champ comes off the far ropes for another try, but seems to think better of falling prey to the crucifix so he takes a powder and ducks under the ropes.
The champ consults with Lisa and gets a bit of a neck massage while Lane tries to restrain Destroyer from leaving the ring. Finally with the Destroyer reaching out of the ring he is coldcocked by a right hand from Disalvo. The champ chokes him over the middle strand for good measure before going back into the ring. The champ presses his advantage with a scoop slam, backbreaker, and another piledriver but only gets a 2 count. The fans are then instrumental in rallying Destroyer out of a full nelson after over a minute in the hold.
The two exchange punches again with the Destroyer winning, and then nailing 4 consecutive dropkicks, followed by 3 armdrags, 2 belly-to-back suplexes, and 1 DDT. He covers and gets 1, 2, Lisa Caress reaches into the ring and pulls Destroyer off her man to break up the count. Buddy Lane has seen it this time and calls for the bell.
The Destroyer defeated Steve Disalvo by disqualification for outside interference at 16:21
[Steve Disalvo retains the RCW Heavyweight Title]
Post-Match:
Disalvo and Caress grab theit title belt and leave quickly. Destroyer and Lane are left fuming in the ring.

Non-title Match
Steve Disalvo (/w Lisa Caress) defeated Irish Pat Barrett after a running clotesline at 3:02
-quick and easy victory for the champion
Interview:
Things turn nasty when Ron Strong interviews Steve Disalvo and Lisa Caress, calling him a cheat and her a jezebelle. Disalvo goes nose to nose with Strong who refuses to back down saying that Disalvo's title reign is now further tarnished and disgraceful. Disalvo has had enough and pushes Strong against the studio interview wall, which gives way, and crashes to the ground as does Strong. It looks like Disavlo is going to do some further damage to Strong but The Destroyer arrives on the set and begins to brawl with Disalvo. The two fight over into the spectator area, and Caress catches Destroyer with a lowblow from behind. Disavlo then smashes Destroyer's head off the steel guardrail. More RCW officials are on hand now and the battle is broken up.

Interview:
Great Gama kind of sits on the fence about accepting the challenge of Moe Malone, saying he beat that big oaf and has nothing left to prove. Steve Blackman comes out and says that if Gama wants to manage him anymore then he's going to have to start putting his money where his mouth is. Blackman tells Malone that the'll be there for the match next week.
Bout #4
Eight-Man Tag Match
The Longriders, Brady Boone, and Dan Kroffat defeated Chris Markoff, Barry Orton, Kid Gallahad, and Steve Blackman by pinfall when Boone pinned Orton after a moonsault at 9:30
-a rare 8-man tag match for RCW. Basically it was nothing but trouble for the villians trying to get along and co-operate during this match. Gallahad got mad at Orton and Markoff for tagging off with each other on 3 consecutive tags. Blackman seemed disgusted with the tactics of all 3 of his partners and looked like he lost interest in the match all together. In the end when Boone was pinning Orton, Markoff entered the ring to break the pin but when he waived for the other two to follow they stayed put. This distracted Markoff and by the time he arrived it was too late to break up the pinfall attempt.
[end of first hour]
Bout #5
North American Women's Title Match
Misty Blue Simmes defeated Lelani Kai by disqualification for outside interference at 5:53
[Simmes retains the North American Women's Title]
-after a rough start to the match Simmes had things under control. She was perched on the top rope for the superfly when the crowd started to go nuts. She paused to look and watched as a behemoth of a woman entered the ring. Caught like a deer in the headlights Simmes was press slammed off the top rope to the mat. The big woman then came off the ropes and nailed Simmes with a devastating splash. The woman stopped to mock the crowd with a salute before leaving the ring.

Bout #6
Lumberjack Match
Superstar Billy Graham defeated Chris Lyon by pinfall after an elbowdrop at 8:51
-Most of the RCW locker room came out as lumberjacks with the villians on one side and fan favorites on the other. Graham controlled early after a top wrist lock, a bodyslam, a reverse chinlock, some chops, another bodyslam, and a pair of elbowdrops but couldnt get the pin. Lyon went with a rake of the eyes to get some momentum. He choked Graham over the second rope, and then while distracting ref Kenny Jay a couple of the villians laid in some punches to the head of Graham until the fan favorites came over and chased them away.
Lyon continued to work on Graham with a Boston crab, a standing surfboard, a splash from the second rope, and a slingshot suplex, but the most he could get was a 2 count. So he went to more blatant cheating including some chokeholds. The villians distracted Kenny Jay, then a couple of the fan favorites tried to complain to Jay but this just gave Lyon more time. Tempers flared and a mini-brawl ensued amongst the lumberjacks.
Back inside Graham was on the comeback trail. He hit some terrific chops, backing Lyon to the ropes and then exploded with a gutwrench suplex. He applied his bearhug finisher and Lyon was just about done. Another mini-brawl broke out though between the lumberjacks and while Jay was distracted Kid Gallahad reached in and tripped up Graham to break the hold. He tried to pull out Lyon as well but Graham grabbed his feet. Gallahad was pulling on one arm of Lyon but it was a tug of war as Graham lay on the mat pulling on both feet of Lyon. A couple of the lumberjacks cinched around Gallahad's waist and tried for extra leverage. But Lyon was in such pain being pulled from different directions that he reached out and hammered the arm of Gallahad to get him to release.
Graham sent Lyon to the buckle with a slingshot, then hit him with another gutwrench suplex. He followed up with an elbowdrop and picked up the pin.

CAGE MATCH
RCW Television Title Match
Ben Bassarab (champion) v Manny Silva
Bassarab actually attacked Silva before the bell could even sound. Silva though was ready and the two began to battle. Silva still had on his silver satin warm-up jacket while Bassarab was wearing his title belt around his waist.
Silva pumeled the champ with fists, and a big smile on his face, and then smashed Bassarab's head off the steel cage. He bodyslammed Bassarab on the mat and then slammed him off the cage wall. Silva then scooped him up and nailed a running powerslam. The challenger removed the title belt and was going to hit Bassarab with it, but referee Buddy Lane grabbed one end and struggled long enough with Silva until the champ could rear up with his foot and blast Silva right in the crotch. Bassarab then tried to go for the title belt but Lane quickly grabbed it and removed it from the cage.
However, while he had his back turned Bassarab began to stomp the stuffing out of Silva and then pulled up on the top rope while giving him a boot choke. Bassarab pounded away at Silva, and then nailed a German suplex for a 2 count. The young Albertan went to work with elbows to the ribs, a hammerlock, short arm scissors, and then several armbreakers. But Silva turned up the intensity once again with punches, kicks, and then worked over Bassarab in the corner with chokeholds. He also began to loosen a turnbuckle cover.
Bassarab caught Silva with an elbow to the gut, then went to work with dropkicks. The champ climbed to the top turnbuckle and hit a bodyblock but Silva rolled through and got 1, 2, kickout by the champ. Silva took control and pressed with a piledriver before running Bassarab's head across the steel cage.
Bassarab was now bleeding profusely.
In the corner Silva worked chokes again and even bit the bloodied forehead of Bassarab. He also took the opportunity to continue working on the turnbuckle cover. This time he had it completely removed and damaged so that despite his best efforts the best Buddy Lane could do was to simply place the cover sitting on top of the buckle.
Silva worked a full nelson, slammed Bassarab to the mat. Laid in several kicks to the back, and then hit a second piledriver. He went for the pin but only got a 2 count. He tried for his wheelbarrow suplex finisher but Bassarab countered with a roll-up for a 1 count. Silva recovered with a clothesline just about taking the head off of Bassarab. He tossed the champion to the corner, knocking the lose turnbuckle cover to the mat. He then tried to ram Bassarab's head off of the exposed steel but Lane got his body in the way preventing Silva from doing the deed.
Silva gave up and pulled Bassarab to the middle of the ring. Lane allowed himself to be distracted by Silva trying to show him how to put the turnbuckle cover back on. Silva walked away but Lane stayed trying to reattach the cover. Silva used his distraction to reach into his tights and pull out a roll of coins. He took a big swing at Bassarab but the champ ducked, spun the challenger, punched him, then took him over with a belly to back suplex. Lane saw the suplex, saw Silva bounce off the mat, and saw the coins scatter from his fist.
Bassarab whipped Silva to the ropes, nailed him with a flying dropkick, tossed him off the ropes again, and nailed him with a crossbody block finisher. Silva though maanged to kick out. So the champ pounded Silva's head off the cage wall, then raked it across the cage until Silva was busted wide open. Bassarab then climbed half-way up the steel cage and flew off with a flying cross bodyblock. Bassarab was wearing a crimson mask as he hooked a leg and got the 1, 2, 3 !!

Simmes is said to have stayed the night for observation due to breathing difficulties brought on by bruised ribs. She was released early the next day and has been resting comfortably since.
Interview:
Commrade Orca is interviewed. Problem is she doesn't speak any English. Her interview in Russia goes right over the head of Ron Strong but given the names being tossed out like Misty and the derogatory tone of her voice when speaking about North Americans, its enough to illicit a nice round of jeers.

Chris Markoff & Barry Orton defeated Kid Gallahad & Chris Lyon by pinfall when Orton pinned Lyon after a bulldog from the 2nd rope at 8:56
-the only thing that made this match with four rulebreakers beating the tar out of each other even better for the fans was that it was officiated over by Jurgen Hermann. It was filled with double teams, four man brawls, and other cheating. Twice during the match the four men assembled inside the ring to negotiate a peace, each time it ended with handshakes and jeers from the crowd, and each time it was broken first chance by one of the participants. The end came when Markoff was able to jab his thumb into the throat of Gallahad and then send him out of the ring.

RCW Heavyweight Title Match
Steve Disalvo (/w Lisa Caress) and The Destroyer battled to a double countout at 7:35
[Steve Disalvo retained his RCW Heavyweight title]
-This match had a far different feeling then their meeting two weeks ago. It started right after the bell with a brawl. There was no feeling out process, and very little strategy. Destroyer seemed willing to fight fire with fire and Disalvo held nothing back, flirting with disqualfication the entire match. They split their time evenly between inside the ring and outside. There never was a feeling that this match would have a legitimate finish and finally Buddy Lane just counted out the two men.
Post-Match:
Disalvo and Destroyer continued to brawl after the match. Despite Lisa Caress jumping on Destroyer's back and biting him, the masked man would only pull her off and refused to retaliate. This distraction was enough for the champion to nail Destroyer with a running clothesline. He then pulled the masked man onto the announce table and delivered a punishing piledriver which send both men through the table.
