The Hall of Fame Committee members Matt Brock, Jack McAdam, Stan Mullen, and George Gadasky come to the ring to announce that their will be an inductee again this year 1991 to the River City Wrestling Hall of Fame. The first time ever that inductions have been made two years in a row. Last year Tawney England was voted into the hall of fame, this year she, the Destroyer, Chris Lyon, and Marty Goldstein will be joined by Mike Valiant!!
Valiant began with his first appearance as one of the originals in RCW #1 as a rulebreaker but would later turn fan favorite. He lost in the first tournament final to the Destroyer for the RCW Title, and would never win that title. However, besides being a regular top contender and main eventer he also held the tag titles with Chris Lyon. Mike Valiant will be on hand in April to be officially inducted into the Hall of Fame.

RCW Heavyweight Title Tournament Semi-Finals
Jerry Lynn defeated Paul Orndorff by pinfall after a jumping DDT at 7:14
**Orndorff was in control of this match when Muraco came down to the ring and interfered by tripping up Orndorff. It was all the advantage that Lynn needed to hit the DDT and pick up a huge upset win. Not sure if Muraco did it due to his feud with Orndorff or because he wanted less competition later tonight if he makes it to the final.
Larry Cameron defeated Don Muraco by pinfall after a jumping clothesline at 6:50
**not sure what Muraco was expecting but the fans were not surprised when Orndorff came out to exact revenge. The ref was expecting it though and cut him off at the pass. However it still distracted Muraco enough that Cameron drove him face first into the ringpost, then hit his finisher to pick up the win.
Challenge Match
Mason Thunder (/w Kelly St Croix) and Wahoo McDaniel battled to a double countout at 5:12
**Thunder came to the ring and cut the usual "any one with the guts to come out here" promo and was surprised when the well loved veteran McDaniel came out to answer the bell, still pumped up over what happened to Norris earlier in the night. The two turned this into a brawl which got them both counted out.

Main Event
RCW Heavyweight Title Tournament Final Match
Lethal Larry Cameron defeated Jerry Lynn by pinfall after a powerslam at 17:27
[Lethal Larry Cameron wins the RCW Heavyweight Title]
**Cameron controlled the first few minutes with his power, but then Lynn made a huge comeback and for the next 7 minutes or so beat the bigger Cameron from pillar to post, never giving him a chance to catch his breath. Finally Cameron turned the tide with a rake of the eyes, then a clothesline. A ref bump happened when Lynn moved out of the way of a football tackle and Cameron took out the ref. Cameroun though nailed Lynn with a firemans carry into a slam, then retrieved a steel chair. He swung at Lynn who moved, the chair bounced off the top rope hitting Cameron in the face. He dropped the chair and then Lynn nailed a bulldog onto the chair. The ref got back to his feet and was going to count the 1, 2, 3, but got confused by the chair laying around and started to demand an explanation from Lynn and then the announce crew. Finally he shook off the cobwebs but by then Cameron was back on his feet. The big man went toe to toe with Lynn backing him into the corner. Lynn reversed a whip to the corner and then followed in with a clothesline, and then hit a jumping DDT as Cameron came out of the corner. It was counted, 1, 2, Kickout. Lynn got greedy and went to the top, but his missile dropkick missed when Cameron moved out of the way. Lynn though still had the upper hand and went for another jumping DDT, but the big Cameron caught him and then nailed a powerslam to pick up the win and the title.
