MAIN EVENT
RCW Heavyweight Championship Match
Chris Lyons (ch)  v  The Mummy
Lyons had to overcome the savagery of the Mummy. It didn't look like he would be able to do that, as he was bleeding profusely, but The Destroyer came down to ringside to offer advice to Lyons throughout the rest of the bout. His advice seemed to work on several occasions, and this frustrated the Mummy into attacking Destroyer. Lyons then took out the Mummy from behind and locked him into the Boston Crab. The Mummy never gave up but eventually his hand was held up and fell down 3 times for the win at 22:39

River City Wrestling #29
Chalmers Community Club, Winnipeg, Manitoba
 
**Prior to the night's action starting, The Mummy came to the ring, but he was not alone as he has been in the past. He was led to the ring by an Arabian man who quickly introduced himself as Shiek Fal-Had. The Shiek said his man the Mummy was cheated last card when The Destroyer appeared at ringside alongside Chris Lyons to manage him without holding a valid RCW manager's license. Shiek says he obtained one this week and will be managing his man in a return match tonight. He then challenged champion Chris Lyons to make it a cage match. The cage was already here tonight to be used in the heated re-match between The Roughnecks and the KISS Army for the tag belts. Lyons came to ringside and accepted the match inside the steel cage. The Destroyer came out and tried to talk Lyons out of it saying the Mummy was a savage, but Lyons insisted that for his honor to stand he would have to take the match.**

MAIN EVENT
CAGE MATCH
RCW Heavyweight Title Match
Chris Lyons (ch)  v  The Mummy (/w Shiek Fal-Had)
-Lyons was a house on fire for most of this match, until Fal-Had passed the Mummy a nail file that he stuck into his bandages, and then used on Lyons whenever the opportunity presented itself. The biggest opportunity came when the Destroyer came down to ringside to complain to the referee, and then when Shiek Fal-Had got into his face he dropped the manager with a right hand. All of this action however distracted the ref and allowed The Mummy to savage Lyons with the nail file as well as bites. Lyons' face was a bloodied mess. The Mummy put on the Arabian Spike nervehold and Lyons' was out in seconds. The Mummy wins via submission at 16:16.
