Maple Leaf Wrestling presents Wrestling Night in Canada August 14, 1983 at ATV Studio in Moncton, New Brunswick The opening video package of Wrestling Night in Canada opens the show featuring clips of: Greg Valentine, Wahoo McDaniel, Stephen Petipas, Jesse Ventura, Ivan Koloff, Leo Burke, Rocky Johnson and ends with a clip of Rick Martel being awarded the NWA Canadian Title. 1. Terry "Bam Bam" Gordy & "Nature Boy" Ric Flair vs "Big" Stephen Petipas & Rocky Johnson After a nice shine sequence by Rocky, we get Petipas in for a long face in peril. Gordy and Flair look great in control. We get the hot tag to Rocky, but at that point "No Class" Bobby Bass and Cuban Assassin drop an envelope on the announce table and run to the ring where Bass distracts the referee and Assassin nails Rocky with the chair which re-opens him up. Gordy picks up the win with the powerslam. Winners - Terry Gordy & Ric Flair @ 14:04 Commercial #1 After the break we go to ringside with Billy Red Lyons and Jesse "The Body" Ventura. They look at the envelope which has Jack Tunney's name on it. It seems to have peso's sticking out of it and a Castro seal on the back. This must be the money to pay the find they incurred a few weeks back. They speculate that they might get another fine and wonder if Castro will be willing to pay their fines again. Ventura hypes asking Alexis Smirnoff difficult questions on The Body Shop tonight. He will find out where the relationship with The Russians and Don Carson is at. Finally the announcers hype the main event of New Japan superstar Riki Choshu taking on Jerry Brisco. We will be right back Dick Murdoch in action. Ventura scoffs at Murdoch. Commercial #2 2. Gary Royal vs "Dirty" Dick Murdoch Murdoch gets the easy win. Ventura spends the match running down Murdoch after his actions last week. He challenged him to take on Mr. Saito next week on television. Winner - Dick Murdoch @ 3:46 Commercial #3 We get a video of Riki Choshu and the rest of Ishi-Gunn being picked up by a limo at the airport. They get into the airport and Jesse Ventura is there with champagne. Jesse starts putting down Canada and through a translator talks about how Team Japan will do what Team USA could not and beat Team Canada! After the video Jesse hypes up the Elimination match taking place at the Halifax Forum on August 15th! Commercial #4 3. Tiny Tom vs Tiger Jackson Tiger Jackson gets a huge win and points to his waist to indicate he is coming for the NWA World Midget's Title! Winner - Tiger Jackson @ 5:54 Commercial #5 It's time for The Body Shop with Jesse Ventura. Ventura has his bodyguard the Masked Samurai watching his back. After a few moments where he hyped up Mr. Saito taking the NWA Canadian Title from Rick Martel at Maple Leaf Gardens on August 30th and Team Japan taking out Team Canada tomorrow night, Jesse brings out his guest Alexis Smirnoff. Smirnoff comes out to a mixed reaction. Ventura asks for Smirnoff's side of the story. Smirnoff talks about being the former NWA Georgia Tag Team Champions together and about how dominant they were. Together they were supposed to come into Toronto and take over Maple Leaf Gardens as the most dominant tag team upon returning from his tour with All Japan Pro-Wrestling. What happened though was when he returned Koloff had brought in Don Carson as his manager and was teaming and champions with the impostor Super Russian. Jesse questions whether he was kept in the dark about all of this. Smirnoff starts yelling about how he hates Carson and that the Super Russian is a fake Russian. He then talks about how he has no issues with Wahoo and invites him out. Jesse brings out Wahoo who looks reluctant. Smirnoff says he wants to destroy The Russians as much as Wahoo does. Smirnoff has heard about Wahoo needing a partner for Maple Leaf Gardens to take on the Super Russian and Koloff for the belts in a cage. He is offering his services. Wahoo says that he has found in a partner in Buzz Tyler, but if Smirnoff wants to be in their corner, he is welcome. Wahoo and Smirnoff shook hands as Jesse closed off the show. Commercial #6 Nick McMan is in the back in the Event Center. He hypes up the Maple Leaf Gardens show on August 30th where Mr. Saito challenges Rick Martel for the NWA Canadian Title, Wahoo McDaniel & Buzz Tyler challenging for the NWA Canadian Titles against the Russians in a cage and The Cubans vs Stephen Petipas & Rocky Johnson in a Toronto Street Fight. He hypes the Team Canada vs Team Japan Elimination match tomorrow night in Halifax, followed by a promo by Team Canada. Next week on TV we will see Andre the Giant wrestling, as well as Rick Martel on The Body Shop. Commercial #7 4. Riki Choshu vs Jerry Brisco Riki Choshu looked like a beast, especially with Jesse really hyping him. Jerry had some nice hope spots, but Choshu won with the scorpion deathlock in the end.

I will take responsibility to starting the new thread every monday.

I've really missed this show and I am glad it was back. I think you are over hyping Russo, Matt. I am pretty sure any company with Austin and The Rock would had been huge. I tend to think that the WWE got huge despite Russo not because of him.

Lol. My results were original version..

That was a damn good main event.

Sorry

Well these last two matches better deliver

Spanish sounds awful too

Spanish sounds proper.

Is Spanish version better? I can switch

I enjoyed it even with the massive flaws. The audio was hideous.

Watching now online. Just caught the finish of the opener.

If Hulk Hogan ran for President in 2000, like he talked about who would had been his running mate (VP)? Same question with Bob Backlund in 1996. Also, what would had been their main campaign promises?

So I can't bring in El Satanico to have an epic feud with Rick Martel in 1984 and make Satanico my top heel?

You didn't see the 2006 version of Triple H and HBK. By far the worst shit ever put on television not written by Vince Russo.

Anyway I could have the champ for December 27th for the Maple Leaf Wrestling end of the year special in Maple Leaf Gardens?

I am fine with 97 DX. Post HBK DX is fine to awful. 2006 DX is the worst shit of all-time.

Yeah, unless someone wants to book the UK. We need to figure out a system. I feel the same way about Mexico. If a US company wanted to make Johnny Saint and El Satanico their biggest stars I think it could had happened. No US company would had done that though.

That would be ideal. I would watch so much more if I didn't have to watch it on my laptop, or plug my laptop into the TV and do it that way.

TripleMania is tonight. English commentators too.

The Hogan of Canada, yes! I have another year planned out already which will make him. After that I will need some fresh blood to come in as the monster of the month. Jesse Ventura makes an OK Bobby Heenan bringing in opponents for Martel, I think.

Just a note, results like the previous one where it is the #. A pinned B means it was not taped. Any result that lists the match, has a paragraph, then says Winner - A, that is a taped show.

I think we talked him into checking it out.
