Main Event
RCW Heavyweight Title Match
Jim Brunzell defeated Davey Boy Smith by disqualification for outside interference at 12:14
[Davey Boy Smith retained the RCW Heavyweight Title]
**Jim Brunzell had Davey Boy Smith all but beat when for the second straight week Dynamite Kid appeared at ringside. This time he elected to enter the ring and pound on Brunzell. When DBS recovered he went right after his former partner. Once Brunzell got his senses back he helped DBS eject DK over the top rope, but then DBS and Brunzell got into an argument and a pushing match over the disqualification.
Commissioner Baron Von Raschke came down to the ring to cool things off. He announced that Jim Brunzell would get yet another attempt at DBS for a clean bout in two weeks in Swift Current. He warned DK, and all others, that anyone interfering in the match will be suspended indefinitely from RCW. To sweeten the pot a bit more Raschke asked DBS if he wanted a piece of DK, and of course DBS and the crowd roared their approval. He asked Brunzell the same thing who also got fired up. So Raschke told DK to find himself a partner for next week because it will be Brunzell and Smith against Dynamite Kid and his partner in tag team action.

Main Event
Davey Boy Smith & Jim Brunzell defeated Dynamite Kid & Ben Bassarab by pinfall when Smith pinned Bassarab after a running powerslam at 10:34
**The fans were surprised when Bassarab came out with Kid, and explained that he was an old friend of DK’s as well as DBS’ and he is doing this favor for DK because he swore he was going to wrestle clean and fair. And for the most part he did, while he had a bit of an edge to him, it was a fairly clean and hard fought contest. But when the chips were down DK refused a tag in to Bassarab who was then finished off by DBS as DK looked on from the arena floor.

**Jaggers had to cheat, using a handful of tights on the pin to beat a very angry Ayala
Dynamite Kid defeated Ben Bassarab by pinfall with a schoolboy rollup at 10:10
**fantastic match between Bassarab and the man he patterned himself after DK. This match was a result of last week’s tag match where DK walked out on Bassarab. It was a pretty even match but Bassarab kept letting his temper get in the way, as he was suckered by DK once after chasing him out of the ring, and once when the ref had to restrain him in the corner, both times letting DK take control of the match with a sucker punch. In the end Bassarab went to the top buckle too early and attempted a splash on DK, who rolled out of the way and then rolled up Bassarab for the win.

[Davey Boy Smith retained the RCW Heavyweight Title]
**DBS controlled the match early, then tempers got heated for a minute before Brunzell took over the match. The former RCW champ had DBS in an Indian deathlock but DBS was able to roll his way out of it. Brunzell missed a dropkick when DBS held onto the ropes, then charged at DBS only to be backdropped over the top rope to the apron, where DBS hit him with a backelbow to the floor. The champ then took control of the match and hit his finisher a minute later to pick up a big win.

**The champions used a steel chair to bust Steele wide open, and Rice was also busted open on the ringpost. This match favored the Bruise Brothers but they will have to out wrestle the former champs if they want to keep their titles.
Submission Match:
Ben Bassarab defeated Don Muraco by submission to the Boston crab at 14:40
**Muraco had the match won after a piledriver but seemed to forget it was submission only. By the time he put on a camel clutch Bassarab was able to get to the ropes. Bassarab made a spirited comeback and came up with the big win.
Tommy Jammer & Len Crazy Horse defeated John Tolos & Timothy Flowers by disqualification at 7:34
**Jammer and Horse frustrated their opponents so much that Tolos and Flowers finally threw in the proverbial towel by both entering the ring and attacking their opponents, sending Horse over the top rope and then pounding on Jammer ignoring the ref’s count.
Handicap Match:
Jonnie Stewart defeated Beauty & The Beast by pinfall when Stewart pinned Beauty with an inside cradle at 8:35
**Beast had his valet spend most of the match on the apron and out of the fray. However, after he had sufficiently beat up on Stewart he finally let in to the pleas of his valet and tagged her in. Of course Stewart turned the tables. Beast entered the ring and tried to attack Stewart from behind but the youngster caught him with a forearm and then tossed him out of the ring. Beauty jumped on Stewart’s back but he easily flipped her over and then cradled her for the win.

RCW Television Title Match
Bunkhouse Brawl
Bobby Jaggers defeated Hercules Ayala by pinfall after hitting him in the head with his belt buckle at 10:54
[Bobby Jaggers retained the RCW Television Title]
**Ayala controlled most of this match beating the unpopular champ from pillar to post, in and out of the ring. However, Jaggers had a spur hidden under the ring which he brought out and used to bust Ayala open and take control of the match. He attached the spur to his cowboy boot but when he tried to kick Ayala the big man blocked it and pulled Jaggers boot off. The two slugged it out as they fought over the boot. Both men were knocked down, and Ayala was up on his feet first and crawling for the boot. He retrieved it but at the same time Jaggers had taken off his belt and wrapped it around his fist. Ayala swung the boot at the champ who ducked it, kicked Ayala in the gut, and then nailed him with the belt buckle, and picked up the win.
Main Event
Non-Title, No Disqualification, No Countout Match
Davey Boy Smith defeated Dynamite Kid by pinfall after a running powerslam at 12:50
**This match was a back and forth slug fest that did not feature much of either man’s exciting repertoire, but none the less it was a crowd pleaser. The two had a great sequence fighting it out on the ring apron with DK retreating to and then up the ring post, then the same thing happening to DBS. The sequence ended with both men crashing to the mat. The fight then went into the stands. Back inside the champ finally gained a big advantage by going after the lower back of DK. He continued to work over the back until he hit his finisher and picked up the win.
After the match DBS was going to leave the ring when he noticed that DK could not stand. The ref called for a stretcher and the ring doctor as DBS looked on concerned. After a time cutaway, we rejoined the scene with DK being stretchered off and cursing at DBS as he was leaving. It was all DBS could do to restrain himself from attacking DK on the stretcher, and in fact he may have if ref Buddy Lane hadn’t held him back.
