River City Wrestling #514

February 13, 1993

Winnipeg, Manitoba

Special all female "Heartbreakers" edition

Opening Bout
Stacy Jackson defeated Blue Angel after a running clothesline at 4:29
-Stacy Jackson was a tall, athletic, and kind of plain grappler but skilled enough to get the upper hand on the cheating Blue Angel.

Bout #2
Pink Demon and Purple Demon battled to a no-contest at 6:18
-what looked like a guaranteed win for either one of the other of the two generic jobbers of the female division got off to a tremendous start. The action was surprisingly fast paced, some chain wrestling, went in and out of the ring, and had several near falls. The fans were really into this match as the Purple Demon had the upper hand and was attempting to remove the mask of her foe when Comrade Orca ran into the ring and took out both ladies.

Bout #3
Comrade Orca defeated Keisha by pinfall after a splash at 7:03
-Keisha had her moments keeping the massive Orca off balance with her attack, but once Orca got the upper hand she was able to finish it off in a fairly quick fashion.

Bout #4
Molly McShane defeated Ashley Nicole by pinfall after a powerbomb at 5:50
-Ashley Nicole was accomplished in RCW but that is her only experience, and McShane was an experienced grappler and vicious.

Bout #5
Battle of the California Dolls 
Dottie Bittle defeated Julie Ann Gerhard by pinfall after a bodyslam (with her feet on the middle ropes for leverage) at 5:25
-The billing from this match comes as a result of these girls both being part of the infamous "California Bikini Girls" competitions and video tapes. Not much of a wrestling match, more of a catfight. Gerhard was much more the athlete but Bittle was willing to break the rules which in the end is how she won.

Bout #6
Tawney & Corrie England defeated Nicole Milne & Jennifer Lyon by pinfall when Corrie pinned Milne after a doomsday device at 8:48
-RCW Hall of Fame England sisters came out of retirement to take on Milne & Lyon making their premiere in RCW, hailing from Toronto, and drawing immediate jeers by coming down to the ring wearing Toronto Maple Leaf jerseys. Milne & Lyon were better actresses, feigning hair pulls and chokes, then they were fighters. In the end the crowd enjoyed it when the good girls used the Road Warriors finisher to end the bout in style.

Main Event
North American Women's Title Match - LumberJill Match

April Cummings defeated Beverlee Hills by pinfall after a superplex at 10:55
[April Cummings retained the North American Women's Title]
Beverlee Hills used her size advantage to control more of the match then the champion. At one point she was going to try and finish off Cummings with a bulldog but one of the Lumber Jills who surrounded the ring, Molly McShane (all the wrestlers from the previous matches were at ringside except Comrade Orca) reached in and grabbed the ankle of Hills, enough to get her to lose the hold. Then when Cummings had Hills set up for her Superplex finisher, Hills blocked it, and looked ready to take down Cummings, knee to head drive to the mat. However, Milne & Lyon reached up and held onto Hills so she couldn't move down. This allowed Cummings to finish the superplex and get the pin. A huge brawl erupted outside the ring between all the factions which gave the crowd a bit more for their money.

River City Wrestling #515
February 27, 1993
Winnipeg, Manitoba

Opening Bout
Brett Como defeated Shark Bait by pinfall after a superplex at 6:05
-Como is the much better wrestler, this was a glorified squash match

Bout #2
Mike Lozansky defeated Dirty Barry Horowitz by disqualification for outside interference at 4:19
-Lozansky's partner Lightning Kid is injured so he does not get a reamatch against Horowitz and Dirty White Boy for the tag titles. Also tonight the DWB has a heavyweight title rematch against Jerry Lynn who he lost the belt to at the Anniversary show. Lozansky was in complete control of this match when DWB hit the ring and attacked him from behind. DWB and Horowitz laid the boots to Lozansky until first Brad Rheingans and then Baron von Raschke came out to make the save. It was note worthy that DWB came to his tag team partner's rescue as he had always let him fail on his own in the past, but now that they own the tag team titles he seems to be showing more interest in Horowitz' career and health.

Bout #3
Sebastien Rikard & Lenny Thompson drew with Ben Bassarab & Archangel 20:00
-a rare time limit draw. Each man had a turn playing Ricky Morton in this bout and each man had times when he was dominant. Thompson and Archangel both had a high physical presence, while Bassarab showed off his technical ability and Rikard showed off his ability to cheat. After the bout Rikard & Thompson pretended to leave the ring but came back in and attacked Bassarab & Archangel, but the good guys expected it and quickly ejected the villains over the top rope. 

Bout #4
Harley Tragger defeated Nailz by pinfall after a spinning powerbomb at 7:28
-Nailz was the first of several guest appearances tonight, and formerly wrestled in RCW as Kevin Kelly. Nailz was vicious in and out of the ring, even busting Tragger's head open on the outside ring post. Referee Jurgen Hermann was prepared to DQ Nailz but Tragger told him to let it all go. The match then escalated in violence and intensity and Tragger took it over. A flying elbowsmash preceded an earth pounding finisher. 

Bout #5
Manny Silva & Warlord defeated Jim Neidhart & Brian Blair by pinfall when Silva pinned Neidhart after a wheelbarrow suplex at 13:38
-Silva was joined in this bout by 3 guests with Warlord and Nedihart making their first appearance in an RCW ring. Blair is a friend and former tag partner of commissioner Jim Brunzell so the commish led that tag team down to the ring and even jawed with Silva, but did not stick around ringside. Silva actually spent the first 5 minutes of this match being isolated and beaten by his opponents. Warlord almost short circuited and came in twice to interfere and risked DQ by pushing ref Buddy Lane. A four man brawl erupted and a betting man would have put his wager on a no contest. However things calmed down, Warlord came in and took the match over, then all four men had their moments. In the end though Silva rose above the others in size, stamina, and will and showed great power beating Neidhart not the smaller Blair to take the win.

Bout #6
Baron von Raschke & Brad Rheingans defeated Vlad Petrov & Nick Bockwinkel by pinfall when Rheingans pinned Bockwinkel after an Olympic suplex at 10:02
-While there was no weak link in this match there was definitely one that rose above the others, the big Russian Vlad Petrov. However, despite his great showing Rheingans managed to get the pinfall victory over Bockwinkel.

Bout #7
Vendetta defeated Rogue by pinfall after a DDT at 12:34
-yet another chapter in this rivalry. This time Vendetta comes out clean, on top, after hitting his finisher.

Bout #8
North American Women's Title Match
Cynthia Rothrock defeated April Cummings by pinfall after a spinning heel kick at 7:12
[Cynthia Rothrock Won the North American Women's Title]
-the women's title continues its legacy of being a hot potato. Cummings' short reign came to an end unexpectantly when Cynthia Rothrock made a surprise return to the ring from Hollywood, and replace the injured Beverlee Hills. Rothrock had the upper hand throughout most of this match and regained her title in a decisive manner.

Main Event
RCW Heavyweight Title Match
Jerry Lynn defeated Dirty White Boy by pinfall after a cradle piledriver at 10:38
[Jerry Lynn retained the RCW Heavyweight Title]
-this was Dirty White Boy's return match after losing the title to Lynn. While the match went back and forth the title never seemed in too much jeopardy. Dirty Barry Horowitz tried to come down to the ring and interfere on behalf of his tag team partner DWB but Baron von Raschke came out and cut him off at the pass.
