The High Flyers: Greg Gagne & Jim Brunzell defeated The Top Guns: Ricky Rice & Derrick Dukes by submission when Gagne submitted Rice in the sleeperhold at 15:35
**one of the best matches of the year so far, a scientific, high flying classic. The match was very even with Brunzell and Rice really shining. The end came when Dukes made a mistake on a short doubleteam after a tag. Brunzell moved out of the way and Dukes clotheslined Rice instead of Brunzell. A quick tag out to Gagne, a doubleteam dropkick, and Gagne slapped on the sleeper to bring the fans to their feet.

After the match Muraco who had come down to go guest commentary, had a staredown with DK but nothing came of it.

RCW Heavyweight Title Match

**short title reign for Muraco. This match went back and forth with Muraco controlling a couple minutes, then DK a couple minutes, rinse and repeat. The end came though when after a referee bump Cowboy Bob Orton Jr came out and handed Muraco a pair of brass knuckles. This brought out Davey Boy Smith who nailed Orton in the head with the chair and then tripped up Muraco who lost control of the knux. DK got to his feet, kicked the knux out of the ring, nailed Muraco with a snap suplex, then a German suplex, and then hit the diving headbutt for the title win.
As DK celebrated with DBS after the match, Ben Bassarab, Kim Schau, and Biff Wellington (the whole Stampede crew) came out to celebrate with the new champ.
