Chalmers Community Club, Winnipeg, Manitoba
RCW Heavyweight Championship Tournament
RCW Officials have had no choice but to strip the Destroyer of his RCW title that he held for all of last year. The Destroyer
has been unable to defend his title over the past 30 days due to injuries, and was unable to defend it here tonight. So, the
title has been declared vacant and an 8-man tournament held to declare a new champion.
This also marks the first card by RCW away from Salisbury School and into their new home at Chalmers C.C.
