But while Brady continued to jaw at Bassarab, another newcomer from Windy City "Sweet Daddy" Brent Sampson hit the ring and nailed Bassarab vrom behind. Brady and Sampson pounded on Bassarab with Sampson nailing a full-nelson slam and then Brady hitting a piledriver. Finally Jim Brunzell came out to make the save.
Jonnie Stewart defeated The Beast by disqualification for use of a foreign object at 8:54
**Stewart controlled the first half of this bout, the Beast the second half. However after taking a spill out of the ring Stewart caught the eye of the Beast's valet Beauty. The two flirted for a few seconds which caused the Beast to go into a wild rage hitting Stewart over the head twice with a steel chair, causing the DQ. Beauty had to step in to stop the Beast from continuing the assault with the chair.
RCW Tag Team Title Match:

**Jaggers really stepped it up a notch in this match turning the tide against both his opponents. The TV champ ended up pinning the Heavyweight champ fairly cleanly to pick up a huge win, and put himself in line for a title shot.

Main Event
RCW Heavyweight Title Match
Champion v Champion
Bobby Jaggers defeated Davey Boy Smith by countout at 8:50
[Davey Boy Smith retained the RCW Heavyweight Title]
-Nothing had really been settled between the Heavyweight and TV champions when Dynamite Kid came skulking down to ringside and hid beside the ring. When DBS stood on the canvas, DK surprised him by pulling him off to the floor below and running him into the ringpost. DK then hid under the ring. None of this was seen by the ref who counted DBS out. Jaggers missed a great opportunity to capitalize thinking DBS would recover, having no idea what just happened. When DK emerged after the countout and walked away, Jaggers did not seem impressed.

River City Wrestling #402
Winnipeg, Manitoba
Untelevised matches:

North American Women's Title Match

[The Terrorist retained the North American Women's Title]
-Another dominating match by the champion. But after the match it was announced by Ken Resnick that RCW has brought in Magnificent Mimi to face The Terrorist on December 14th at the 10th Anniversary Spectacular. After the initial shock had worn off the ladies champion restored her bravado and said she would rip Mimi's head clear off.
Six Man Tag Match
Ben Bassarab, Jim Brunzell, & "Olympian" Mike Powers defeated Pat Brady, Bobby Bass & Brent Sampson by countout at 10:53
**The Chicago crew were visibly shaken up when the RCW duo of Bassarab and Brunzell brought in Powers as their mystery partner, as Powers came straight from Chi-Town to help them against his old enemies. With the numbers being even for once the villians eventually decided to just walk away rather then face certain pinfall.
Main Event
Lumberjack Match
Champion v Champion (Only the Heavyweight Title on the Line)
Davey Boy Smith defeated Bobby Jaggers by pinfall after a running powerslam at 13:34
[Davey Boy Smith retained the RCW Heavyweight Title]
**The Lumberjacks were more there to keep people out, specifically Dynamite Kid then to keep the wrestlers in the ring. However, the villians used this early to their advantage, making motions like DK was seen coming through the crowd and then Jaggers tossed DBS out of the ring to the jackals. This only worked once (well except on Len Crazy Horse and Wayne Gillis who fell for it a second time). Jaggers though gave a good account for himself, and seemed to have the title won after a neckbreaker. However, he didnt hook the leg so DBS was able to drape a leg over the bottom rope. The villians tried to toss the leg off, but Buddy Lane spotted it and a massive brawl broke outside the ring. Inside Jaggers got distracted by the brawl, kicking Jim Brunzell in the back of the head. However, this allowed DBS too much time to recover. The Bulldog threw Jaggers to the buckle, then hit him with a high back body drop. He followed up with a hanging vertical suplex, then hit his finisher.
After the bout Dynamite Kid finally appeared, and due to the distraction of the big brawl was able to slip in the ring and attack his former partner from behind. He laid in a short beating before Ben Bassarab made the save.

Swift Current, Saskatchewan
Untelevised matches:
Tommy Jammer defeated Ivan Gorky
Mike Powers defeated Dan Denton
Jack Steele & Ricky Rice defeated Pat Brady & Bobby Bass
Televised matches:
The show begins as always with clips of the untelevised matches.
Commissioner Baron von Raschke comes to the ring. He calls out Dynamite Kid, who comes to the ring in a wheelchair because of his bad back. He is helped by his male nurse into the ring, and then takes a seat in the wheelchair again.
Baron von Raschke asks when he will be ready to wrestle again. DK says he still hasn't got clearance from his doctor. Raschke offers him a title shot against Davey Boy Smith at the 10th Anniversary Spectacular on Dec 14th. A little less then 3 weeks away, he asks DK if he will be ready. DK dances around the question until Davey Boy Smith comes to the ring wearing his title belt. He provokes DK with the apporval of the fans. DK tries to stand but is restrained by his nurse. From the wheelchair DK says he'll make sure he's ready for Dec 14th, and this time it will be Davey Boy leaving in an ambulance.
Davey throws one more thing out to DK before he leaves. He talks about the two of them growing up in the soot of the coal mines. He says that River City Wrestling has a history of Coal Miner's Glove matches, where a steel coal miner's glove is put on top of the ringpost and it is legal to use. He challenges DK to make their match a coal miner's glove match, and of course DK can only accept. As DBS leaves the ring DK gets out of his wheelchair and is going to attack DBS from behind. But Davey Boy turns around with a big smile on his face, pops DK a quick jab in the face, then pushes him backward. DK lands hard in his wheelchair and it topples over backward. DBS says "I'll see you at the 10th".
Johnnie Stewart (/w Beauty) defeated The Beast by pinfall after a northern lights suplex at 6:11
**Stewart is on his way up, Beast looks like he is done. Beauty accompanied Stewart to the ring and this seemed to distract Beast as well.
Handi-Cap Match
"Sweet Daddy" Brent Sampson defeated Ron Ritchie & Len Crazy Horse by pinfall after a belly to belly suplex on Ritchie at 5:43
**Sampson was over matched in this one, but received some help when Pat Brady distracted the ref and Crazy Horse outside the ring, and this allowed Sampson to run Ritchie to the ropes where Bobby Bass was waiting on the ring apron to hit him with the ring bell.
RCW Tag Team Title Match
Bruise Brothers defeated Tommy Jammer & Johnnie Stewart by pinfall when Picone pinned Stewart after a powerbomb at 8:30
[Bruise Brothers retained the RCW Tag Team Titles]
**The Brothers threw the challenge out to Jammer and Stewart, who accepted despite each having already wrestled once tonight. That might have been the deciding factor in the champs favor.
Main Event
Davey Boy Smith & Ben Bassarab defeated Bobby Jaggers & Timothy Flowers by pinfall when Bassarab pinned Flowers after a flying crossbody block at 7:32
**Flowers was the weak link in this match.
