Lutte Internationale TV
Taped at CHLT-TV Studios, Sherbrooke, QC
September 8, 1984
(After the opening credits, we go to the broadcast booth as the action is about to start)
Guy Hauray: Hello everyone and welcome to our final edition of Lutte Internationale TV before our supercard at the Montreal Forum. Lots of intensity as we’re heading into the final stretch. Several of our main event guys are tuning up their final preparations for the big event but we have an excellent main event on tap for you as the now former International Tag Team Champions the Wild Samoans will take on Baron Von Raschke & the now former International TV Champion Gino Brito.
Édouard Carpentier: Indeed, Guy, now Dino Bravo will make his first International TV Championship title defense at the Montreal Forum vs Billy Robinson on September 13. And if you ask me, Guy, I think that’s exactly how Dino Bravo would want it. Making a statement and settling a score at the same time. This might be one of the most anticipated matches on the card this Thursday.
Guy Hauray: We’ll see about that once we get there but we’re ready for our first match so let’s get to it.
Match #1
“No Class” Bobby Bass vs Pete Doherty
An opening match that doesn’t seem to entice the crowd a whole lot between two preliminary workers but the crowd’s attention cranks up a notch when out of nowhere, The Sheepherders, storm the ring to attack both Bass & Doherty! Butch Miller & Luke Williams came to the ring with a flag and they stick the pole in Bobby Bass’ throat, choking him! The Sheepherders throw Bobby Bass outside the ring and now turn their attention to Pete Doherty! The poor Doherty is now just easy pickings for The Sheepherders as they hit their Double Gutbuster on him. Referees rush out of the back in hopes to stop the carnage. Finally, The Sheepherders wave their New Zealand flag to a chorus of boos before leaving the ring.
No-Contest
Guy Hauray: The Sheepherders in Lutte Internationale? Eddie, the tag team just got put on notice!
Édouard Carpentier: The Sheepherders are known around the world to be one of the most dangerous and toughest teams there is. They’ve been champions everywhere they are. If I’m the Caribbean Connection, I’m not looking past the Wild Samoans Thursday night but I’m looking over my shoulder because the Sheepherders aren’t too far behind. Same goes to everyone else in the tag team division!
Guy Hauray: After the commercial break, the Creatchman Family is in action!

Match #2
The Creatchman Family vs Serge Jodoin & Tito Senza
The Creatchman Family is approaching the ring for their match but we see that Eddy Creatchman is alone with King Tonga and Tonga doesn’t seem to have a partner. The Brain isn’t gonna wrestle, isn’t he? No, because Eddy approaches the broadcast booth and asks for the mic.
Eddy Creatchman: Guy & Édouard, boy do I have a surprise for you guys. You’ve known me for years and you’re aware that I’m always looking to expand my Creatchman Family. Because I never have enough members in my family to torture the Rougeaus, Dino Bravo and Rick Martel. So I scoured the globe and I found myself all the way back down to Texas where I found exactly the man I was looking for. A man who has no moral values, no mercy & is ruthless. Exactly, the kind of man that I like to have in my family. Ladies and gentlemen, it is with great pleasure that I introduce to you, the newest member of the Creatchman Family. From Pampa, Texas, I give you....BLACK BART!
Black Bart comes out dressed with his long trenchcoat, his black cowboy hat and his lasso. Bart yells insanities to the audience and gets into the ring to join his Creatchman Family stablemate, King Tonga. As soon as the bell rings, it’s all Tonga & Bart. They show great chemistry for a team that is just forming. Senza & Jodoin don’t stand a chance in this one. In the end, while King Tonga neutralizes Jodoin with the Tongan Death Grip, Black Bart hits his Texas Trash Compactor 2nd rope legdrop on Senza to secure the victory. Eddy “The Brain” Creatchman gets in the ring and proudly celebrates with his newest acquisition.
Winners: The Creatchman Family (King Tonga & Black Bart)

Match #3
Samu (w/Eddy “The Brain” Creatchman) vs Raymond Rougeau
Throughout the match, Guy & Édouard hype the Rougeaus vs Orton/Slater Street Fight Thursday at the Montreal Forum. We see Raymond displaying a more aggressive side to himself, as the broadcast team mentions numerous times as well as Raymond’s reputation as a legit tough man. As expected, Eddy Creatchman tries to get involved in the match and it works as his timely distraction allowed Samu to turn the tide and take control in the match. Finally, Raymond regains control after a timely miscue following a 2nd rope headbut attempt from Samu. Raymond mounts a comeback against Samu but unfortunately for him, Raymond misses his Savate Kick and Samu hits the Samoan Drop to get the victory. Guy Hauray & Édouard Carpentier put Samu over as a legitimate threat to the International Heavyweight Championship more than ever.
Winner: Samu

Match #4
The Wild Samoans (w/Eddy “The Brain” Creatchman) vs Baron Von Raschke & Gino Brito
This is Gino Brito’s first TV appearance since he lost the International TV Championship to Dino Bravo at Jarry Park last week. Brito doesn’t seem to be too much rattled by the loss of his title as he seems to gel very well with the Baron in this one. Sika is still sporting the taped ribs and the announce team put over how much pain Sika must be in to even consider having his ribs taped, considering the reputation of Samoans in the wrestling business. Still, that doesn’t prevent the Samoans from dominating the match especially when Gino Brito is in the ring. And it’s Sika’s injured ribs that prove to be the momentary downfall for the former International Tag Team Champions as Sika missed a 2nd rope splash on Brito, allowing him to go tag in Baron Von Raschke. Big comeback from the Baron and it doesn’t take too much time before Samu, Von Raschke’s opponent at the Forum, runs in and attempts to attack Von Raschke but he’s turned away. In the meantime, Eddy Creatchman threw his cane in the ring to Afa who’s about to whack Von Raschke with it but all of a sudden, The Caribbean Connection run in to prevent Afa from using the cane. Fists are traded and referee Adrien Desbois decide to stop the match and awards it to The Wild Samoans. While the Samoans are fighting with Von Raschke & the International Tag Team Champions, Gino Brito is trying to leave but he’s ambushed by David Schultz! Schultz pummels Brito near the broadcast booth and tears Édouard Carpentier’s mic from him. Schultz beats Brito with the mic before using the cable cord to choke Brito with it! The show ends in complete chaos as Brito is struggling to flee the grip of “Dr. D”!
