http://placetobenation.com/this-week-in-wrestling-for-july-18-2015/ Pete, Steven & Johnny cover the week in wrestling for July 18, 2015. In the first segment Pete & Steven break down Jushin Liger in NXT and Ring of Honor TV. Johnny then joins Pete as they talk NXT TV and NWA Classics. In the second segment Pete & Steven talk international wrestling including Lucha Underground and previewing the G1 Climax. In the final segment Johnny & Pete talk WWE including Raw and Smackdown!

It's really my showcase feud going forward. There are a lot of twists to come, but right now it's just about developing hate.

A huge show at Maple Leaf Gardens on July 26th has most of it's card announced. The NWA World Midget's Champion Little Tokyo will defend his title against Tiger Jackson, the man who pinned him on Canada Day at Exhibition Stadium. Can Tiger win the title in his home town? Bret Hart is returning from Stampede wrestling one more time and has enlisted the help of Wahoo McDaniel and Tiger Conway Jr. to take out the trio that took him out on TV of Jesse Ventura, Mr. Saito and The Masked Samurai. This one should be a war. Of course the huge main event is best of 5 series versus Americans from Jim Crockett Promotions. The series will feature: Ben Bassarab (CAN) vs Buddy Roberts (US) "Big" Stephen Petipas (CAN) vs Barry Darsow (US) Leo Burke (CAN) vs Terry "Bam Bam" Gordy (US) Rocky Johnson (CAN) vs Michael P.S. Hayes (US) Rick Martel (CAN) vs "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair (US) The Canadians are looking for revenge after Flair tried to ruin the Canada Cup ceremony on Canada Day and after The Freebirds cheated their way to victory in Oshawa. This could all come down to Flair-Martel in the end, two of the best wrestlers in the entire world. Make sure you are there to cheer on Team Canada at Maple Leaf Gardens on July 26th!

Shit how is Super Crazy no nominated yet?

He's nominated. However, i want to discourage people from nominating guys just because they are better than others nominated. We should be nominating people that we are considering voting for.

Maple Leaf Wrestling will return to Oshawa on August 20th.

The hottest match up in the NWA is "Nature Boy" Ric Flair and Rick Martel. The great matches can not be contained in Toronto and Greensboro, so this great match is ready to be farmed out to your home promotion. Do you want this great match on your show? Request the date below and if Jack Tunney and Jim Crocket approve then you get a bonafide awesome main event for your town. Bring in two future World Champions and let them light your town on fire!!!

Feel free to add any Maple Leaf TV footage to your broadcast.

Little Tokyo has a big title match in Toronto on July 26th.. we may see a new champion.

I'd be very happy if they signed Cherry Bomb. Few play their character better than her.

I'm hoping, it will be run in Toronto and Greensoboro at the very least. Contact Jack Tunney and Jim Crocket if you want that great match up in your town. Jesse is all character and this is his last singles match (most likely) as he is transitioning to only hosting The Body Shop, being the colour guy and managing Mr. Saito and The Masked Samurai.

So... the same stuff they did in 1984?

Remember to send your post cards in to Maple Leaf Wrestling if you have any info on who The Super Russian is.

Maple Leaf Wrestling presents Wrestling Night in Canada July 17, 1983 at Convention Center in Hamilton, Ontario 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. Billy Red Lyons, Mike McMann and Jesse Ventura are in the announce booth and welcome us to today's show. They talk about the Ivan Koloff and The Super Russian winning the NWA Canadian Tag Team Titles and speculate about who the Super Russian is under the mask. Jack Tunney will address that situation later tonight. They then talk about tonight's Bret Hart vs Jesse Ventura main event. Jesse trash talks Hart and says stay with us, as The Body Shop with Bobby Bass, Cuban Assassasin and Chicky Starr is coming up after this commercial break, then he has to go get ready for tonight's main event. -COMMERCIAL (1)- It is now time for "The Body Shop" with Jesse Ventura. His bodyguard The Masked Samurai stands guard. This week's guests are Bobby Bass, Cuban Assassin and Chicky Starr. They come out to salsa music and look very festive. They start trashing other tag teams stating none stand up to them. Martel is the NWA Canadian Champion and can't focus on tag teams. Burke & Petipas just lost. Nobody knows who the Super Russian is and they destroyed the Marcus brothers. The Cubans are the future of tag team wrestling in Maple Leaf Wrestling and everybody should get used to it. Jesse says he has a video given to him by an unknown source that says play for The Cubans. In the video is a Puerto Rican man asking why Chicky has been avoding him, since he's been trying to contact him and that he wants Chicky to come home. In a rage Chicky Star storms off as Bass, Assassin and Ventura look confused. -COMMERCIAL (2)- 1. Nobuhiko Takada vs Bob Marcus Takada is on tour from New Japan Pro-Wrestling and will be in Oshawa tomorrow night taking on Ben Bassarab. Takada and Marcus have a back and forth contest until Takada hits a submission for the win. Winner - Nobuhiko Takada @ 5:42 A short video is played showing highlights of the Canada Cup with Valentine vs Wahoo and hyping their match tomorrow night in Oshawa. -COMMERCIAL (3)- 2. "King Kong" Angelo Mosca vs Joe Marcus Angelo Mosca dominates as the announcers play up him facing Martel next week for the NWA Canadian Title. Winner - Angelo Mosca @ 4:21 -COMMERCIAL (4)- Jack Tunney is concerned about the results of the NWA Canadian Tag Team TItles tournament. Koloff was supposed to team with Smirnoff, but instead teamed with The Super Russian to win the belts. Tunney has learned that Smirnoff is in Japan, so that the masked Russian is not Smirnoff. Also, they cheated their way to the belts with help from their new manager Don Carson. Tunney states that the referee's decision is final, however, The Russians will have to defend the belts against the two other teams in that tournament in the near future (vs Tony Garea & Rick Martel on August 1st in Ottawa and vs Leo Burke & Stephen Petipas on August 2nd in Kingston!). The announcers talk about these two announced matches for the future and speculate about the identity of The Super Russian! -COMMERCIAL (5)- 3. "Big" Stephen Petipas vs Rick Patterson Petipas takes apart Patterson and looks in fine form heading into the US vs Canada Series at Maple Leaf Gardens. Winner - Stephen Petipas @ 6:01 -COMMERCIAL (6)- The announcers set up a video that was sent in from Jim Crocket Promotions in North Carolina. The video plays and "Nature Boy" Ric Flair appears. He insults Canada while promoting the States and then brings out his 4 partners for Maple Leaf Gardens on July 26th in Barry Darsow and The Fabulous Freebirds. The Freebirds cut a promo and in addition challenge any three Canadians to face them tomorrow night in Oshawa! -COMMERCIAL (7)- Back from the break we learn that Leo Burke, Stephen Petipas & Rocky Johnson have accepted the challenge of The Fabulous Freebirds for tomorrow night in Oshawa. They talk up Rick Martel defending the Canadian Title against former Champion Angelo Mosca next week on Television. 4. Jesse "The Body" Ventura w/ The Masked Samurai vs Bret Hart Bret Hart has an early shine sequence, but that is cut off by the Samurai tripping up Bret. After a few minutes of posing and powers moves by Jesse, Bret mounts a comeback and has Ventura on the run only for Mr. Saito to appear at ringside and nail Bret with salt. Jesse does the backbreaker for the win! Winner - Jesse Ventura @ 8:56 After the match Jesse Vetnura, Mr. Saito and The Masked Samurai celebrate together as Bret is helped to the back. Dark Matches: Mr. Saito def. Ben Bassarab @ 10:21 Leo Burke & Rocky Johnson def. Bobby Bass & Cuban Assasin @ 11:11 Rick Martel def. Chicky Starr @ 12:14

WrestleMania 26 things you could had done with Shawn that would help the business going forward: CM Punk retires Shawn That's about it, because it was too early for Bryan and Drew could had worked, but they fucked him up after this. Maybe Sheamus in a competetive match which Shawn won on his way out?

Coming in beating a few guys to build up to facing a top star (Wahoo, Martel, Rocky or Leo Burke) and winning. For 10/26 to be determined, but a main event slot successfully defending his title or a title vs title with the Canadian Champion going to a screwy finish (maybe on this one).

The ending sequence was top 3 finishing sequences of the year easily. Awesome stuff.

Yeah for Vancouver on 26th. I'lll take the world champion from October 6-13?

Who cares? He wants it now, it's not dissolved yet. I see no issues on this. We should try to keep promotions together. Dissolving them should be a last resort. I vote for Matt!

Matt D taking it over sounds better.
