Bout #2

J.D. Miller v Pat Patterson

The young Albertan was overmatched against the cagey veteran Patterson in this match. Another squash match.

Pat Patterson defeated J.D. Miller by pinfall with a victory roll at 4:01

Bout #3:

Non-title Match

The Destroyer v The Bounty Hunter

Destroyer coming off losing his belt to Chris Lyon is matched up against TV champion Bounty Hunter. While not officially a #1 contenders match you have to think the result will go a long way towards deciding the heavyweight rankings.

Bounty Hunter sensing the importance of the match attacks the Destroyer before the opening bell. The big Texan goes to work with a brawling style of attack, keeping the Destroyer nullified. However, he soon loses steam and the Destroyer begins to battle back. The match spills outside the ring where the BH exerts his power again sending the Destroyer head first into the ringsteps. However when he charges the Destroyer for a clothesline, the masked man takes the TV champ down with a droptoe hold that smashes him headfirst into the ringsteps.

The Destroyer then comes off the ring apron with a double axhandle smash before taking the match back inside. BH makes one more effort at a comeback but when he telegraphs a back body drop he falls victim to a DDT. The Destroyer then applies a double arm suplex to pick up the win.

The Destroyer defeated The Bounty Hunter by pinfall after a double arm suplex at 10:36

Main Event

RCW Tag Team Title Match

The Roughnecks (Stan Rodgers & Russel Riggs) (champions)

Bobby Duncum & Angelo Mosca (/w Corrie England)

Prior to the match Chris Lyon, the England sisters and Duncum introduced Angelo Mosca as their most recent addition to the group. It was Mosca who made an unadvertised run-in last card and cost the Destroyer the heavyweight title to Chris Lyon.

This match was power v power, brawling v brawling. Riggs had a harder time standing toe to toe with their opponents then did the bigger Rodgers. However, it became apparent that the Roughnecks were barely hanging on to their titles, especially when you add in some timely interference from Corrie England at ringside. In the end the champs seemed to instigate a 4-way brawl outisde the ring that saw both teams counted out.

Double countout at 8:51
