October 10, 1981
River City Wrestling #41
Chalmers Community Club, Winnipeg, Manitoba
 
Opening Bout:
Chrisscat defeated Tom Stone by pinfall after a flying crossbody block at 4:29
 
Premiere:
The Outsiders: Johnny Rivale & Curtis Simpson defeated Nacho Buerrera & Puppy Dog Pelequin by pinfall when Rivale pinned Pelequin after a drop toe hold into the turnbuckle at 6:32
**Newest team to arrive in RCW. Rivale is a smallish, street tough brawler with a quick wit and bad mouth, while Simpson is a simpler type with average size. They have a "greaser" image from the S.E. Hinton styled novels, but are villians.
 
Tag Team Action:
Shiek Fal-Had and Brent Beck defeated Danny Potenza & Ashley Shade by submission when Beck submitted Shade with the Canadian backbreaker at 8:34.
**Beck was unveiled as Fal-Had's latest protege after it has become apparent that former RCW champion The Mummy has left the territory.
 
Special Match:
Bonecrusher defeated Kenny Ho by disqualification due to outside interference at 6:52
**Bonecrusher controlled Ho for most of this match, quite a feat considering Ho's impressive record so far in RCW. He had the match won with the bearhug submisson until Eric Lee came from the back and attacked Bonecrusher to create the DQ.
 
Special Appearance:
Moose Morowski & Rick Presonka battled to a double countout at 10:15.
 
RCW Tag Team Title Match
No Disqualification - No Countout
The Royal Kiwis (Kelly Hobin & Keith McIvor) defeated Les Voyageurs (Jacques LaToque & Luc Lagimodiere) by pinfall when McIvor pinned LaToque after a running slam into the turnbuckles, followed by a powerslam at 16:41
**All four men wore the proverbial crimson mask when this match was finished. An excellent blow-off to the feud.
[The Royal Kiwis retain the RCW Tag Team Titles]
 
MAIN EVENT
RCW Heavyweight Title
No-one allowed at ringside; outside interference will cause a suspension
Mike Valiant defeated The Destroyer by disqualification when the champion lost all control and began to assault the challenger with a variety of ringside items including a steel chair at 22:42.
[The Destroyer retained the RCW Heavyweight Title]

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.
