Breaking kayfabe:

By this time I think it was already Chris and I as the lone people running the fed, with John & Eric losing interest (they weren't really big wrestling fans anyway). This would help explain their descent down the card's pecking order :)

Timmy Rich was added after we discovered that someone under that name was advertised to wrestle at Chalmers for the local indy (can't remember if it was RCW at that time). It was an obvious ploy to make some people buy tickets thinking it was Tommy Rich. We added our own second "rip-off" guy (or maybe he was another misleading advertisement, but I dont think so). The second guy's name was Dusty Streets (a combination of Dusty Rhodes and Adrian Street).

The false belt was added by me much later in the history to go along with this scam artist from way down south.

Chris and I both really liked the idea of having a "higher" title and chose the Candian title which had been out of the Maple Leaf booking office, but that Dino Bravo had magically appeared in the AWA wearing. We decided to use that as our offical "higher" title.
