North American Women's champion Hollywood says she will be back in Winnipeg next week to defend her title against Brandi Mae. She encourages all her fans to get out that night and support her.

 

-probably Jack's best match since he arrived in RCW, but he has been a total bust. The crowd was very quiet throughout this matchup.

 

Lethal Larry Cameron is a very pissed off dude and wants to break some heads again in RCW.

 

Brandi Mae sends in a tape that shows while she may look like the all-American farmer's daughter, underneath she is a coniving vixen who intends to take Hollywood's title by any means necessary next week.

 

A couple minutes of this clip are shown from POWW featuring Brandi Mae teaming with Malibu taking on Genie Beret & Lady Soul.

 

-squash match. Kevin Kelly beat Galveston last show, Vendetta beat him now, as they prepare for their showdown next week.

 

Vendetta says that Kevin Kelly has taken self-confidence to a brand new level, made it an art form. The champ says he has seen this arrogance before from the Nordic looking white musclemen, but what they don't understand is that true power comes from within, and is fueled by peace not hatred. Vendetta promises his many fans that next week he will stop the challenge of Kevin Kelly in its tracks.

Buena Vista Studios invites you to see the movie of the year for a second time, as the smash hit "Good Morning, VietNam" starring Robin Williams enters its 11th week of release and still holds onto the number one spot at the theatres.

 

Gene Kiniski, The Destroyer, and Stan Mullen come to the ring, three of the six members of the Hall of Fame Committee. Kiniski says that while it was not unanimous and two others received at least one vote, that on a second ballot it was passed that there would be an inductee next week into the Hall of Fame. Kiniski says congratulations Chris Lyon on being elected into the RCW Hall of Fame. The announcement is met with applause from the crowd.

 

-an incredibly hard fought contest as Jackson was able to counter or block a lot of St. John's offense and seemed to have him on the ropes. St. John's fitness level also looked to be lacking in this bout, but in the end Jackson made a couple of mistakes of impatience trying to put St. John away, and fell victim to the spinebuster finisher.

 

Chris Lyon is brought to the ring by Ron Strong and he is extremely happy with the announcement and thanks the fans and the committee for having done him this honor. He takes a nostalgic trip back to the early days of RCW when he was cheered by the fans at old Salisbury school gym, and says that is a feeling that Kevin Kelly will never know. He says Kelly is the kind of guy who likes to tear things down, not build them up. When he is retired he will be forgotten, unlike Lyon who says that because of RCW he will be remembered forever.

 

The Top Guns are pleased as punch to be the new Tag Team champions and promise to successfully defend them tonight in their rematch against the former champions, the Terminators.

 

[Mike Lozansky retained the RCW Television Title]

Lozansky controlled early and it looked like this would be another challenge met for the sophmore champion. But then he collided with Regal coming off the ropes and the two men met knee to knee. Both made it to their feet gingerly, just beating the 10 count. The next few minutes were full of mat wrestling and stalling tactics as both men tried to shake it off. Regal's knee seemed to recover faster then the champion's and he went on the offensive with a pair of vertical suplexes, a backbody drop, and a legdrop off the top rope for a 2 count. He then went for his figure-four finisher which probably would have ended the match but Lozansky was able to push Regal off. The challenger then threw the champion over the top rope to the floor below. Sure enough Lozansky was unable to stand on his leg, and would have lost the match by countout but Regal wanted the belt so he rolled the champion back inside. Once again he went for the figure-four and once again Lozansky had the counter, this time reaching up and pulling down the challenger into an inside cradle. Jurgen Hermann counted 1, 2, Lozansky was off balance and his foot moved out and braced against the bottom rope, 3.

 

Post-Match:

A dejected Steve Regal was leaving the ring when Ted Arcidi came sliding under the bottom rope. He grabbed Jurgen Hermann and explained to him he was watching in the back and saw what happened, telling Hermann that the match should be restarted. At first Lozansky seemed mad at Arcidi but once he understood what happened he calmed down. Regal getting wind of this returned to the ring and also petitioned the ref to restart the match. But Hermann would have nothing of it, saying he didn't see it, and his call is final. Regal tried to go after Lozansky out of anger but Arcidi tackled him to the ground and then persuaded him to leave in peace.

 

[The Top Guns retained the RCW Tag Team Titles]

-The Top Guns controlled early and it looked like they may have solved the puzzle of the Terminators. However, the former champions stormed back exerting their strength. They cut the ring in half and made quicker tags then we have ever seen from them. But when Wolff ran across the ring to try and nail Dukes with a double axhandle chop, Dukes ducked under and Wolff flipped over the top rope banging his back against the ring apron on the way down. Riggs left his post to see to his partner and tried to get him to his feet but it wasn't working as Wolff appeared to be too badly injured.

 

That's it for another edition of River City Wrestling.

 

See ya next week!!

 

 

 

 

[Hollywood retained the North American Women's Title]

-very hot match to start the show with these two women completely lighting it up. Brandi Mae played the rulebreaker, but with her looks and her ability to work a fast paced match the fans were cheering everything these women did.

 

Hollywood talks about how great it is to make an appearance back here in RCW, and how she has been defending her title as of late in California, New Mexico, and Arizona, as well as a stretch in Texas and even Mexico. She says that Brandi Mae was an excellent and worthy oppponent and maybe they could sign another match in the near future.

 

Terminator Riggs comes to the ring. He announces that his partner Wolff was injured in last week's match hurting his lower back and will be out for a long time. However, he says that RCW has granted him another rematch for the titles (the crowd jeers this) and gave him the choice of waiting for his partner's return or finding a new partner and taking his chance tonight. He has decided to take on a new partner and take their shot tonight. He won't reveal who his partner is until the match.

 

-the fans cheered as Lyon stepped into the ring on the night he is to be inducted into the Hall of Fame. He still looks about 15 pounds over fighting weight and keeps his shirt on, but is able to easily out wit and out wrestle the Tulip in a squash match.

 

Kevin Kelly came to the ring to watch the end of the match, and then gave Lyon a sarcastic golf clap.

 

Kevin Kelly says that was pathetic, and a total waste of air time. He says Lyon may have once been fit enough to wrestle in elementary schools but now he's not fit to wrestle with pigs. Turning his attention to tonight he promises a magnificent performance and a change in the Heavyweight title, as he will take the belt from Vendetta.

 

MGM studios releases to theatres this weekend the new romantic thriller "Masquerade" starring Rob Lowe and Meg Tilly.

An heiress. A setup. A murder.

 

-glorified squash match

 

Buck Zumhoffe and Mike Jackson say they keep getting paired together but still have no plans to continue as a tag team.

 

"Mr Electricity" Steve Regal comes to the ring and complains how he lost his match last week to Mike Lozansky because of the inept official, and how he should be the TV champion. He then calls out Ted Arcidi, who comes reluctantly, to bear witness to what he saw; Lozansky's heel pressed against the bottom rope for leverage.

This brings out interim commissioner Gene Kiniski who says while he sympathizes with Regal, the referee's decision is final. He also says that he has already granted Regal a return match. But all this complaining about the officials by the guys in the back is making him crazy. If they think it is so easy to do, then maybe they need a taste of the action. So in tonight's rematch for the TV belt between Mike Lozansky and Steve Regal, Kiniski says the special guest referee will be none other then Ted Arcidi. The big man tries to get out of it, apologizing for his complaints but Kiniski will have none of it, saying Arcidi will ref or he can leave RCW.

 

-another lights out fast paced match to go along with the opening women's bout. Mercury carried most of the match with St. John sucking wind by the end. However a mistake by Mercury, and a little bit of cheating on the pin, was all St. John needed to rob his opponent of the duke.

 

Bryan St. John is incredibly happy and says he was glad to stick it to a pretty boy like Mercury, just like he was screwed over by pretty boys like the Fabulous Ones. St. John says this should vault him to the top of the rankings and he is putting his name on the list of candidates to get a shot at Vendetta's Heavyweight title. When asked about the cheating St. John responds its only cheating if you get caught.

[end of first hour]

 

 

Gene Kiniski, The Destroyer, Jack McAdam, Stan Mullen, and George Gadasky are on hand for the induction of Chris Lyon. Only Matt Brock is missing from the Hall of Fame committee.

Chris Lyon comes out to a huge ovation from the crowd and is presented with both a plaque and a ring. He gives a short speach very similar to his from a couple weeks back, about how every great hero needs a villian and that was his role to play in the building of RCW. He thanks the Destroyer for being such a great hero to look up to.

Then, as expected, Kevin Kelly came out to ridicule the whole process. He says Lyon is more pathetic and out of shape then Mike Valiant who Kelly beat last month. Chris Lyon and The Destroyer got into his face calling him an ungrateful hemmroid on the backside of RCW. Kelly took a swing at the Destroyer who blocked it. Lyon nailed him with a dropkick and when he got up Destroyer took him back down with his signature crucifix. Lyon then helped Destroyer toss him over the top rope. Gene Kiniski helped the RCW officials move Kelly to the back so that the ceremony could be completed in peace.

Chris Lyon joins The Destroyer and Marty Goldstein as the 3rd inductee into the RCW Hall of Fame.

 

[The Top Guns retained the RCW Tag Team Titles]

-Lethal Larry Cameron was brought out as the mystery replacement for the injured Terminator Wolff. He stepped right in and then some, making this new tag team even more formible then the Terminators before. However, after having their butts handed to them through most of the match the champs made a spirited comback which was too much for the challengers' egos to handle. They orchestrated a ref bump by "accident" and then Cameron retrieved a tag belt and nailed Rice in the head knocking him off the ring apron. Riggs nailed Dukes with the powerslam and Cameron woke up Buddy Lane who was slowly applying the 3 count. But Rice recovered enough, retrieved the other tag belt, entered the ring and broke up the pin by nailing Riggs in the head with the belt. Lane saw that and called for the bell.

 

Post-Match:

A wild 4 man brawl ensued after the match with the champions no match for the more powerful Cameron and Riggs who left the champs laid out and their belts placed over them in a mocking fashion.

 

Ted Arcidi is interviewed and is uncomfortable being the special guest referee, saying Gene Kiniski took this too far, made it personal, is making a scape-goat out of him. He seems very angry at the whole situation.

 

 

Mike Lozansky (champion)  v  Steve Regal

 

Incredibly fast paced match right from the opening bell with both men exchanging high flying aerial moves, using the top turnbuckle and flying through the air.  Neither man held an advantage and neither seemed to get winded. However the same could not be said for Ted Arcidi who appeared winded and was slow to get down and make the cover, drawing the ire of both contestents and the fans. He also got caught twice making the wrestlers break but only tying up one man and the other took advantage to pop their opponent with an overhand right. As the match wound down they did a crisscross segment and Arcidi totally lost ended up stuck right in the middle. Lozansky and Regal both flew through the air and Arcidi barely managed to move out of the way as the two men collided chest to chest with matching flying cross bodyblocks. Lozansky was a bit higher though and landed on top of Regal, both men knocked out. Arcidi managed to get into position and count 1, 2, 3 !! Lozansky retained.

 

 

 

-the young Rexsteiner had an easy time with the masked Dr.Gold

 

Kevin Kelly comes to the ring. He says he was cheated out of the RCW title by that no good old man Chris Lyon. He says that somehow Lyon got off his oxygen tank, got out of his wheelchair, and interfered in his match last week. He tells Lyon to turn up his hearing aid and listen to this. He is going to pay, as soon as Kelly is done with Vendetta, he's going to find Lyon and make him extinct.

The fans cheer as Vendetta comes down to the ring. He tells Kelly to stop crying like a little girl and to face the fact that he couldn't get the job done. He tells the Magnificent one that instead of waiting to deal with Lyon later, why not deal with him now.

Chris Lyon comes to the ring to a huge ovation after being elected into the RCW Hall of fame last week. Lyon tells Kelly that he was cheating his way to victory when Kelly still hadn't gone through puberty. Lyon says he saw Kelly trying to steal the title and he decided to stick up for Vendetta.

The Destroyer suddenly comes to the ring to a huge ovation. The masked hall of famer says he's sick of Kelly disrespecting the RCW's roots and everything he has done, along with Lyon to build this company. He tells Kelly its time to put up or shut up. Since all 3 of them want a piece of Kelly they tell him to get himself two partners for tonight's main event and make it a six man tag.

Kelly says they're all crazy and he's not going to risk a lawsuit from their grandchildren when he cripples them, so no way. Vendetta then ups the ante, saying that if Kelly's team wins the match then he will give Kelly another title shot next week. After a few seconds of consideration Kelly agrees.

 

-squash match

 

Post-Match:

Rogue suddenly appeared out of the audience and entered the ring taking Mercury out from behind. He kicked and stomped at Mercury but Nick was able to make a comeback beating Rogue back to the buckle. Rogue though caught Mercury with a boot to the gut and then nailed him with his bracer. Mercury hit the deck dropping so fast and hard the announcers speculated the bracer must have been loaded. The fans jeered as Rogue posed over top of Mercury.

 

Lethal Larry Cameron and Terminator Riggs say that the Top Guns got lucky last week getting themselves disqualified to hold onto their titles, but tonight they won't be so lucky.

 

Tonight is a brand new episode of Spenser For Hire. In "Watercolors" Spenser protects a child artist after the child witnesses a mob execution while painting in the forest.

 

-squash match. Steele hails from "the Republic of Texas", goes around 6'2 and 255 pounds, wearing a stetson to the ring. He seemed to be an instant fan favorite. Renslow did not offer him much competition.

 

Jack Steele thanks the fans of River City for welcoming him here and he says he has his sights set on scum like Larry Cameron, Rogue, Steve Regal, and Bryan St. John. He welcomes any of them to come face him, and fall victim to the cold steel.

 

RCW television champion Mike Lozansky comes to the ring. He says he wants a piece of Ted Arcidi after the way he attacked Lozansky after the match last week. Ted Arcidi comes out telling Lozansky that it was him who attacked first, knocking him in the face after the match. Lozansky says that was an accident, but Arcidi says that there is no such thing as accidents in this business. He says he will accept a match against Lozansky tonight but only if it is for the TV title. Ron Strong though intercedes telling both men that he has been told that they will face each other tonight, but in a tag match. Lozansky's partner will be Buck Zumhoffe, and Arcidi's partner will be none other then Steven Regal. Arcidi says that's unacceptable because Regal and him are not going to get along after Arcidi dropped him last week. Strong says that Gene Kiniski thought he would say that and has given him a response. "I don't care".

 

 

-slow, methodical match with veterans Catfish and Broda employing cheating and stalling tactics to try and frustrate their younger and more athletic opponents to no avail.

 

Inverview:

A noticeably nervous Troy Galveston and Shayne Tustin meander their way through an interview with Ron Strong, grateful for this exposure on Television and just thanking everyone they can think of, like they just won an award. And of course they managed to get in a "Hi Mom" at the end.

[end of first hour]

 

-fairly even match throughout with both teams working well and no long advantages for either team. Lozansky hurt his back when he landed on it after missing a dropkick, when Regal grabbed onto his own partner Arcidi to stop his momentum. The two men then spent a minute punishing his back before Arcidi put on the bearhug and Lozansky submitted after about 20 seconds in the hold.

 

Ted Arcidi is pleased with himself and says he will make Lozansky submit just like that next week and take his TV title.

 

[The Top Guns retained the RCW Tag Team Titles]

-Dukes began the match playing Ricky Morton, and finally after receiving 3 minutes of a steady diet of punches, kicks, and slams made the hot tag out to Rice. Ricky Rice was a house o' fire but that lasted less then a minute until he was double teamed and the challengers again had the advantage. They beat Rice from pillar to post for a few minutes but Rice would not be beaten and made several spirited attempts for a tag. Just when it looked like he would be able to make the tag, the challengers orchestrated a ref bump. They laid out their opponents and then Riggs left to get one of the tag belts. While Cameron held back the arms of Rice Riggs wound up and nailed ~ Rice moved ~ and Riggs nailed Cameron instead. Dukes caught Riggs from behind and sent him over the top rope. The tag champs nailed Cameron with a double dropkick for good measure as referee Jurgen Hermann was revived and made the 3 count.

 

Post-Match:

As you would expect fireworks flared between Riggs and Cameron and the two got into a pushing match. But in the end Riggs talked Cameron down, apologizing for what happened. The two men left without further dissension but did not look happy at all.

 

The Top Guns said this just proves that teamwork and hardwork are more important to success then size. When asked what is next for the tag champs they say they are going back home to Minnesota for a short rest, that they have next week off, and the week following RCW is pre-empted, so they will be back on April 9th to defend their tag belts against whoever is declared the #1 contenders.

 

Pre-Match:

Before the big six man tag main event match could begin Mike Valiant came down to the ring with Vendetta, Chris Lyon, and the Destroyer. Valiant says he wouldn't miss this for the world and has been granted a manager's license for tonight only.

 

 

Vendetta/Chris Lyon/The Destroyer (/w Mike Valiant)

v

Kevin Kelly/Bryan St. John/Hoyt Daill

 

Neither Lyon nor Destroyer were in their best shape so they limited their time in the ring, and Vendetta looked very strong throughout the match. Daill looked to be the weak link and in fact was worked over early in the match but managed to escape being pinned. After that his time in the ring was limited. Chris Lyon was double teamed and then worked over by Kelly but he then managed a tag out to Vendetta, which immediately got Kelly to run away and tag out to St. John. Bryan acquitted himself quite well against Vendetta taking the advantage with a nicely timed kick, and a bulldog. He tagged out to Kelly and held Vendetta's arms as Kelly wound up and put one on his jaw. They made a couple quick tags working over Vendetta while Daill seemed quite content to limit his role to distracting the referee. Finally Vendetta managed to tag out to Lyon who went to work on Kelly then tagged in Destroyer who got Kelly with his crucifix into a roll-up. He would have got the pinfall but St. John and Daill entered the ring to break it up. A six man brawl ensued, and when Kelly tried to nail Vendetta with a chair, Mike Valiant was johnny on the spot stepping into the way and taking the chair shot to the head instead. Vendetta then nailed Kelly with a kick to the gut and a DDT onto the chair outside the ring. He rolled Kelly back into the ring and would have got the pin but he wasnt the legal man so Destroyer had to make the pin, and with that much delay Kelly managed to kick out. Both men tagged out and St. John whipped Vendetta into the corner where he ran into the boot of Kevin Kelly placed on the top buckle, fell back, and was cradled by St. John. The ref counted 1, St. John grabbed a handful of tights, 2, 3 !!

 

 

That's it for another edition of River City Wrestling.

 

See ya next week!!

 

 

-squash match

 

Jack Steele says he is looking forward to facing some real competition here in RCW now that he has proven himself two weeks in a row against unranked competition.

 

-no real reason to pit these two old adversaries against each other again except as filler. A good high paced match with Regal getting the clean win.

 

Steve Regal says he proved in last week's tag match with Arcidi that he should be in the title running for the TV belt. He also says that although he and Arcidi buried the hatchet enough last week to act as professionals and win, that he has not forgotten that Arcidi nailed him back on March 12th, and that one day he'll pay for that.

 

-St. John contolled early, but then Rexsteiner showed off his amateur wrestling background by grounding and working St. John on the mat. The veteran though turned things around with a shot ot the adam's apple followed by a front facelock that he kept slipping into a chokehold. Rexsteiner made another comeback but St. John caught him coming off the ropes with a knee to the gut, followed up with a chop to the throat, and ignoring the ref's admonishments, hit a bulldog and then the spinebuster slam to pick up the win.

 

Bryan St. John says that last week he did what no one has been able to do since Vendetta became the RCW Heavyweight champion, beat him 1, 2, 3, in dhte middle of the ring. St. John says he understands that because of that win Kevin Kelly is the #1 contender and will get his title shot, but St. John insists that he should be next in line.

 

-an incredible upset for the young pair in what had looked to be a squash match. And this was no fluke victory either. The young team after a shaky start that saw Tustin play Ricky Morton for a couple minutes, then turned around and controlled the champions with their combination of size and speed. They may not be as strong as their opponents but they understood basic physics; Force = Mass x Acceleration. They hit their opponents hard and often keeping them off balance. Finally Cameron managed to interfere to turn the tables, and while Riggs held back the arms of Tustin, and the ref was trying to get a protesting Galveston to leave the ring, Cameron wound up ~ but Tustin moved, and Cameron nailed Riggs in the head. Tustin then dropkicked Cameron through the ropes and made the cover, for 1, 2, 3 !!

 

Troy Galveston & Shayne Tustin say this was no fluke, they have been working together hard as a team for months now. They say they are ready to take the next step and a shot at the Top Guns titles if allowed.

 

Larry Cameron & Terminator Riggs return to the ring to air their grievances against each other. It looks like fireworks are going to errupt but finally Cameron just says that they are done as a tag team, and should just avoid and ignore each other. Reluctantly Riggs agrees and the two split from the ring seperate. Riggs though makes the mistake of turning his back on Cameron who snatches a chair and nails Riggs in the back going up the aisle. He hits him one more time with the chait, lays in some boots, and then bounces the chair off a prone Riggs' head before leaving.

Nick Mercury comes out to "You Give Love a Bad Name" by Bon Jovi, air-guitaring his way up to the ring, wearing a bandana in his long blonde hair. He says the feud begins again, Rogue is back from suspension and got the drop on him last week. Mercury says that won't happen again and tells Rogue to get his medieval butt into the ring.

 

-Mercury beat Rogue from pillar to post inside the ring, and then again outside the ring. But Rogue used a small piece of rope to choke Mercury, hidden from the ref. He then worked over Mercury's back with kneedrops and a camel clutch. After a pair of backbreakers he went for his reverse Russian legsweep finisher but Mercury countered with a hip toss, and then went to work on his comeback. Flying off the ropes and hitting Rogue time and again he had the match well in hand until another robed figure came to ringside and tripped up Mercury. This was all the break that Rogue needed, using a legdrop across the back of Mercury's neck, a slingshot, a front layout suplex, and then hit his finisher to wrap things up.

 

Rogue speaks his usual gibberish getting over the point that by Mercury making fun of him, and his ways, and getting him suspended, all he did was allow him to sit, seethe, and plot. Mercury also gave him a great idea, what Rogue needed was a guiding hand, and thats why he brought in the Dungeon Master.

The Dungeon Master says that Rogue has come from the past to show everyone the future of pro wrestling. With his help guiding Rogue away from these peasant feuds with naives like Mercury he will be able to go on to greater things and championship gold.

[Mike Lozansky retained the RCW TV title]

This was a pretty horrible match, as Arcidi looked slow and unsure of himself, and had no chemistry whatsoever with Lozansky. The ending came when Steve Regal snuck down and on an opportune time, hiding beside the ring apron was able to hold onto the leg of Lozansky to get him counted out. By the time Lozansky scrambled into the ring and explained what happened to Jurgen Hermann the inept referee looked down at an empty floor as Regal made his way through the crowd. Arcidi had to be stopped by security from leaving with the TV title as he thought he had won it.

 

Ted Arcidi refuses to leave so security fills the ring while both Arcidi and Mike Lozansky stay for an interview. Arcidi says he had the match won but the champ chickened out. Lozansky says Arcidi put Regal up to it, but Arcidi denies that charge. He wants a rematch and challenges Lozansky to put the title on the line next week, and waive the usual title can not change hands on a countout clause. Lozansky agrees to it saying he won't get caught off by the same trick twice.

 

Cowboy Bob Orton Jr. sends in a promo to say that the people of River City are the luckiest hicks around because Cowboy Bob is bringing his travelling show to their towns come April. He says he loves the mid-west, it brings back memories of sending both Jim Brunzell and Greg Gagne to the hospital thanks to his piledriver, the most dangerous one in the business.

 

[Vendetta retained the RCW Heavyweight Title]

Kelly tried every trick in the book but Vendetta kept battling through and kept showing off his raw athleticism. In the end he nailed Kelly with an impressive series of moves including a springboard back elbow, a reverse suplex, legdrop, and a scissors kick to set up his finisher and leave no doubt as to who the winner was tonight.

 

That's it for another edition of River City Wrestling.

 

We are pre-empted next week, so we'll see ya in two weeks time !!
