River City Wrestling #42
Chalmers Community Club, Winnipeg, Manitoba
Opening Bout:
Danny Potenza (/w Tony Condello) defeated Brent Beck (/w Shiek Fal-Had) by pinfall after a flying forearm uppercut at
7:31.
**Potenza brought out some surprise back-up with local legend Tony Condello and his manager's license working to negate
the Shiek's attempts to interfere.
Handi-Cap Match:
Bonecrusher defeated Kenny Ho & Eric Lee by submission when Bonecrusher submitted Lee with the bearhug at 6:05.
**Ho did his best to avoid being in the ring with Bonecrusher.
Special Challenge Match:
The Outsiders (Johnny Rivale & Curtis Simpson) defeated The Roughnecks (Stan Rodgers & Russel Riggs) by disqualification
when Rodgers refused to break a chokehold he had on Rivale at 12:38
**Before the match the Outsiders came out and declared themselves the #1 challengers for the Royal Kiwis tag titles,
and demanded a match next card. They challenged any team to dispute that; a challenge which was taken up by the Roughnecks
who were actually cheered by the crowd. Rivale did such a good job of getting under the skin though of Rodgers he caused the
DQ.
Women's Action:
Jeannie Rahib defeated Tawney England by pinfall with a victory roll at 5:48.
**England is a newcomer to RCW, and a raw rookie, who is long on looks but still short on wrestling repetoire. Both women
stuck to the rules and ended the outing with a handshake. England was enthusiastically received by the crowd, which may have
had something to do with the way she filled out her spandex wrestling outfit.
