River City Wrestling #91
Winnipeg Convention Cente, Winnipeg, MB
 
Announcers: Ron Strong & Mike Stone
 
Ron Strong] Welcome ladies and gentlemen to another edition of River City Wrestling on CKY TV channel 5. Last week we saw the dynamic debut of one Adrian Adonis, but even he was upstaged by the havoc caused by the sadistic Greg "The Hammer" Valentine.
 
Mike Stone] Well Ron, there's an old saying, the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. Johnny Valentine was one of not only the greatest wrestlers of all-time but also one of the meanest and merciless. River City Wrestling welcome to your part in the great Valentine legacy.
 
Ron Strong] And tonight we have Greg Valentine in action again facing off against...oh this can't be right..Monte Black?
 
Mike Stone] [laughing] Valentine warned them, he really did. Man he is going to be pissed off, I wouldn't want to be in Black's shoes, or rather his legs tonight!
 
Ron Strong] Also, we have the RCW Television title on the line, and another premiere, the Junkyard Dog.

Post-Match:

Like last week, after having his arm raised Valentine put the figure-four back on his opponent. This time RCW officials were quicker to the ring and managed to force Valentine to make the break before he could do too much damage to Black. However, Valentine then went after referee Mort Feinstein, knocking him to the ground and slapping the figure-four on him. Within seconds the referee was passed out, and RCW officials were dragging Valentine off the official. Valentine walked to the back jawing at fans as he went.

 

 
Backstage Interview:
 
Ron Strong is in the backstage area alongside Mike Valiant.
 
Strong] What caused you to come out and confront Greg Valentine last week?
 
Valiant] You know what Strong...I don't know. I've always been a bit hot tempered and when I hear him running his mouth off about Chris Lyon and RCW...well...I might not be the most loved guy around here but I have my pride...pride in myself, and pride in this company.
 
Strong] And how come Chris Lyon did not come out and defend his name himself?
 
Valiant] Damn it Strong you're going to have to ask him yourself. I haven't seen him around much lately, and quite frankly that's fine by me. He abandoned me, our tag team, and put himself first. That ended our partnership...maybe not our friendship..but at least our partnership.
 
Strong] Tonight you have first shot at the Junkyard Dog, and people have been pushing this match as possibly a top contender showdown, although the likes of the Destroyer, VAlentine and Adonis might have something to say about that.
 
Valiant] [pauses] Oh, was that a question? I didn't hear a question in that, so let me respond that I haven't seen the Destroyer around these parts either....even less then Chris Lyon has been around as of late. As for Valentine and Adonis, well I'm here and waiting. They are going to have to beat someone a bit more formible then Chris Pepper, Monte Black, or J.D Miller to get a title shot in RCW.

Backstage Interview:
 
Rod Strong is backstage with the big, burly pair of Canadian Kodiaks, Bear & Claw
 
Strong] Gentlemen welcome to River City Wrestling. I understand that you have a unique challenge you wish to throw out to the locker room at RCW?
 
Bear] That's right fool. Your looking at the biggest pair of tough guys to ever walk into an RCW ring. Roughnecks are nothing. Any fool can work on an oil rigg, try working on a pipeline in the arctic conditions of Northern Canada fools.
 
Claw] Next week we will be in the ring with a challenge that no man can break out of Bear's bearhug. We have heard that some idiot named Bonecrusher has been using this move to win his matches. So we challenge him to be the first to try and break the hold.
 
Bear] That's right, and after the fool fails to break it we hope he has the good sense to stop using my move in his matches. Hey Claw, we're done with these fools..let's see if there is something aboot here to eat.
