If by variant you mean, "I spelled it wrong." then you are certainly on the right track. Doing some digging for ideas on a house show loop and trying to find KrisZ's champions list. Putting things off is always a great idea I tell you. If you ever get the chance to do something, wait until later and struggle to find the thing you glossed over four or five times before. :) It's so much more fun.

Frank Valois is proud to announce that he is indeed partnering with Jack Tunney of Maple Leaf Wrestling to put on a joint show in the Maritimes on the second Monday of each month. He added that he hoped this would be only the first accord with his fellow Canadian promoters. Valois stated that he wanted to put on the best possible wrestling showcase for the Canadian fans and was happy that Jack Tunney had the same goal.

The tournament to crown new Canadian International Tag Team champions has been finalized. Dynamite Kid and Davey Boy Smith will indeed be in the tournament, as will the Cuban Assassins from Maple Leaf Wrestling. Also announced for this card, NWA Canadian champion Rick Martel will be defending his title against "Canada's Strongest Man" Dino Bravo.

 

Rumors have been circulating about another big Montreal Forum show on the 30th of July involving Andre the Giant. These are unsubstantiated at this point, but further details will be forthcoming.

 

edit: The team name for the Tongans has been changed to the Tongan Terrors as I felt it was more indicative of their gimmick.
