Also at Maple Leaf Gardens, Riki Choshu defeated Rick Martel to win the former NWA Canadian Title which has been renamed the IWF Title. However, the IWF feel there should still be a Canadian Title, so the tournament for the IWF Canadian Title begins tonight and finishes at Maple Leaf Gardens on Thanksgiving night! 1. Cuban Assassin w/ Bobby Bass vs "Big" Stephen Petipas (IWF Canadian Title Tournament - First Round) After there brawls the last few months this match was intense.

Winner - Stephen Petipas at 7:24 to advance in the IWF Canadian Title Tournament Commercial #1 Billy Red Lyons lets us know that Rick Martel is seeing the specialist, but his leg seems badly injured. Rumour has it he may never wrestle again. Martel has said privately that he is unsure of his future, but his focus is on returning and gaining some revenge on Valentine. Commercial #2 2. Killer Khan vs Leo Burke (IWF Canadian Title Tournament - First Round) Leo had some brief offence, before Khan went to work. He was a destructive force busting Burke open. A really tough brawl, where Burke wouldn't give up. In the end Khan used a steel chair on Burke to get disqualified. Winner - Leo Burke via DQ @ 8:03 to advance in the IWF Canadian Title Tournament Commercial #3 Jesse "The Body" Ventura is ready on the set of The Body Shop with his bodyguard the Evil Machine. He makes this long introduction hyping up how great Riki Choshu is. After all his titles in Japan and him being the one to defeat Rick Martel for the IWF Title. He finally brings out Choshu. Choshu comes out with the IWF Title looking very smug. Ventura looks to ask him a question, but Dick Murdoch comes out. Murdoch has been dealing with the antics of Ventura here and in Japan Choshu has been a pain in his side. He points out that Choshu only beat Martel after he was beating down. He makes it clear he wants the title. Ventura tells him he doesn't deserve a shot, when Choshu hits a lariat from behind and knocks Murdoch down. Security rushes in and separates everyone. Commercial #4 Before the match Ventura says he will remove Dick Murdoch from the IWF once and for all! 3. Paul Christy & Gary Royal vs Bobby & Rudy Kay It's the debut of the Kay Brothers! Gorilla knows they were big stars in the east coast of Canada. They look impressive and take the fight to Christy & Royal who have shown promise according to Ventura. Kay brothers show some great double team moves and work well together. They get the victory when Bobby hits a huge powerslam on Christy for the win. Will the Kay Brothers look to challenge IWF Tag Team Champions Greg Valentine & Ivan Koloff in the future? Winners - Bobby & Rudy Kay @ 5:46 Commercial #5 Backstage Billy Red Lyons let's us know where we can see IWF on tour: October 3rd in Windsor, Ontario October 9th in Hamilton, Ontario and the big one at Maple Leaf Gardens on October 10th, Thanksgiving Night. That amazing show will feature the finals of the NWA Canadian Title Tournament, IWF Champion Riki Choshu defending his belt, and NWA World Champion Harley Race putting his title on the line against the winner of Greg Valentine and Rocky Johnson in tonight's main event. Commercial #6 4. Greg "The Hammer" Valentine w/ Don Carson vs Rocky Johnson (#1 Contenders Match for the NWA World Heavyweight Title) After a brief shine sequence by Rocky, The Hammer gained advantage by going after the leg. He worked away on it, dropping elbows, stomping and submissions until Wahoo McDaniel came to ringside. The distraction lead to a comeback by Rocky. Some nearfalls are traded, but when Wahoo chopped Carson, Valentine took his eye off the match which was a mistake as a sudden dropkick by Rocky knocked him out for the three count. Winner - Rocky Johnson @ 11:46 After the match Valentine went after Wahoo as security came to ringside to separate them.

So bummed I can't watch this live, because it's the Leafs opener. Will be watching immediately following the game, spoiler free. I think this show has amazing potential and it should be great.

Pro-Wrestling Super Show will return at Halloween.

Damn it. Pete Doherty the Duke of Dorchester.

But then, why would you put the title on him? Or why wouldn't you find a way to hold up the belt? They did do a weird finish, that could had been a Dusty finish.

The messenger matters in letting you know how much you should look into something before you accept it. If someone who works for Korman said the same thing you would do less research to confirm it than CM Punk saying the same thing.

Well yeah, but still that would be a crazy day in history if Georgia and WWF were both replaced on TV.

Two black saturdays in one day! With Southeast taking over WTBS and IWF taking over WWF timeslots.

Updated with 2 new matches.

What a stacked card. Bock Slaughter is insane

I think that is the same deal I had with Bobby Bass. You get Cornette, but no pick in the first round of the draft. At least that was the Bass conditions.

Didn't notice I was up. I pass. And fuck off. I'm tired of your bullshit. Pass forever or just this round? Also, what you said. Be civil.

Sheik on the 4th PLEASE!!!

Thanks. Super Russian came from the fact I was going to use Smirnoff and actually booked the show, but Boricua pointed out Smirnoff was in Japan leaving me with some issues to figure out. Everything is going according to plan and I hope you like the payoffs. They may not be exactly what you want, but plans are in place.

By the way, if anybody wants to go ahead and pass and drop out of the draft. Do so now, so we don't have to wait around.
