Title versus Title
NWA Canadian Heavyweight Title v RCW Heavyweight Title
Big John Studd (NWA) v The Destroyer (RCW)
Destroyer's usual tactics of grounding his opponent via hiptosses, crucifixes, or cross bodys, and then working in a
submission hold was thrwarted by the massive size of Studd. For his part though the Canadian champ's attack consisted mostly
of punches, kicks, and bodyslams. Destroyer blocked two attempts at the heartpunch finish. The match spilled to the floor
where at first Studd dominated with his power, but Destroyer countered by grabbing Studd by the waistband and pulling him
forward into the ringpost. Destroyer attempted to re-enter the ring but Studd managed to stick up a big hand and hold onto
Destroyer's ankle long enough to assure the double countout.
[Double Countout at 15:59]
