So what was happening in the world during May 1983??
 

At the box office…

 

Flashdance held onto the top spot holding off new releases Doctor Detroit, Cheech & Chong Still Smokin’, and re-issues of Porky’s and Rocky III. Re-issues seemed to be a big deal back then. Flashdance would drop to #3 the following week losing out to new movies, Blue Thunder, and Breathless. And the next week saw a movie I’ve never even heard of take #1, Spacehunter: Adventures in the Forbidden Zone. The last weekend of May however saw the juggernaut known as the Star Wars franchise take over the #1 spot doing over $23 million in business it’s opening weekend, with the newest installment “Return of the Jedi”. That’s more then the top 5 movies of the previous weekend combined.

 

In the news…

 

May 24 The U.S. Dept. of Health and Human Services declares AIDS the nation's top medical priority.

 

Music charts…

 

In Canada…the month opened with “She Blinded Me with Science” by Tomas Dolby, “Beat It” by Michael Jackson, and “Let’s Dance” by David Bowie, 1, 2, 3, in Canada, and the month ended with Let’s Dance at #1, Beat It at #2, and Flashdance..what a Feeling by Irene Cara at #3. “Faithfully” by Journey was at #16, “Photograph” by Def Leppard was at #17, and “Every Breath You Take” by the Police premiered at #26. There were no Canadian bands in the top 20, with the Tubes placing highest at #22 with “She’s A Beauty”.

 

In sports…

 

NCAA Basketball saw the completion of one of the greatest Cinderella stories of all time as Jim Valvano leads the North Carolina St. Wolfpack to a victory over the Houston Cougars who were led by Akeem Olajuwon and Clyde Drexler. This is how the Sporting News describes the final.

“Whittenburg took care of that deficit with two jumpers from well beyond the ACC's 3-point distance, tying the score at 52-52 with 1:59 to play. Valvano motioned his players to foul Franklin. The freshman promptly missed the front end of a one-and-one.

Suddenly, the game was N.C. State's to win. It held the ball until the final seconds, hoping to free Whittenburg for an open jump shot. But a pass from Bailey was high, and Drexler managed to slap the ball away.

Whittenburg grabbed the ball on the first bounce but was left with a desperation heave of about 30 feet. The shot was short, very short.

Olajuwon did not react to the ball, but Lorenzo Charles, a 6-7 sophomore forward who had spent a frustrating night trying to battle the towering center, slid down the lane.

"I knew when Whit let the shot go that it was short," Charles said. "I didn't know where Akeem was, just that he was behind me. I knew I was the closest one to the basketball.

"I just went up and dunked it."

Actually, he caught the ball in midair and slammed it through with one second remaining. Remarkably, ironically, N.C. State won the game and the championship, 54-52, on a dunk. “

 

Candian horse Sunny’s Halo won the Kentucky Derby.

Wimbledon Tennis saw John McEnroe win after having lost to Jimmy Connors the year before.

 

May 20th: Boxing; for the first time ever, two World Heavyweight champions defend their belts the same place, on the same night. Larry Holmes retains the WBC title over Tim Witherspoon, and Michael Dokes retains the WBA title with a 15 round draw against Mike Weaver

Winnipeg Convention Cente, Winnipeg, MB
 
We are welcomed by the hosts Ron Strong & Mike Stone.
 
We are back after a one week hiatus. Tonight, Ray "the Crippler" Stevens makes his debut in RCW. The Bounty Hunter puts his Television title on the line against Buddy Lane, by virtue of Lane's big victory last show over Adrian Adonis. And the main event will finally see the clash of Greg Valentine and Chris Lyon, but will no longer be for the RCW title, as that is now held by the Destroyer. But tonight's match-up will be to determine a new #1 contender.

Post-Match:

Ray Stevens cuts another promo basically rehashing his video statement of two weeks ago. He wants to curb the enthusiasm of his former friend Greg Valentine and wants a shot at the television title held by Bounty Hunter.

Ron Strong reminds fans that Stevens is the man who defeated Bruno Sammartino in a 2 out of 3 falls match in California. His credentials are impeccable.
