The opening contest was the first match in the round robin tournament to determine the new Canadian Heavyweight Champion as Harley Race met Buddy Rogers. Morgan Dollar is assigned to officiate the contest. Race overpowers Nature Boy early on but Rogers gains control countering a charge into the corner with a clothesline. At one point, Rogers backdrops Race to the floor but pays the price when he comes out after his opponent when Race runs him into the ringside table spilling its contents and officials to the floor. Race controls but cannot get the pin after a series of vertical suplexes so he changes tactics going after the lower body with an Indian Deathlock. Rogers makes the ropes to escape but Race goes back to the hold for the submission win.

In an upset, Ron Hutchison thrilled the fans with a disqualification victor over “Iron” Mike DiBiase. The early action belonged to DiBiase but Hutchison was able to catch him on the top of the turnbuckles and slam him to the mat in a crowd-pleasing spot. Hutchinson’s scientific attack gave DiBiase some trouble and they ended up brawl on the floor where DiBiase rammed Hutchinson into the ringside table which was enough for the official to make the disqualification call.

Diamond Dallas Page pinned Redd Dogg. The fans enjoyed Page’s entrance coming through ringside and over the barrier to get to the ring. The action was tightly contested early on until Dogg stepped up his attack with a clothesline and ring shaking spinebuster.

Casey was able to get out some early trouble against Luscious Johnny allowing Houston to almost get an upset pin after a cobra clutch suplex.

It is back and forth from that point with both sides making key tags to keep the momentum changing.

• In singles action, The Destroyer will battle Brad Armstrong in a contrast of styles
• Two weeks ago, Bob Armstrong and Blackjack Mulligan thrilled the fans in Windsor with their violent contest and fans in Toronto are hoping their rematch will be just as intense.
• The Fanastics picked up a victory over the current Canadian Open Tag Team Champions Original Midnight Express two weeks ago and last week, the Express got their win back in dominating fashion on route to winning the Canadian Open Tag Team Title Tournament. Next week, the two teams will clash for the third time in a rubber match. Another victory for the Fantastics will solidify their position as top contenders to the title another decisive loss will move them to the back of the line.
• The partnership between Masked Superstar and King Kong Bundy has imploded over the last two cards and now the former partners will clash in a battle of heavyweight
• In the main event, Canadian Heavyweight Champion Lou Thesz defends his title against number one contender Harley Race. In Windsor the two men battled for the Title and Thesz came away with the gold but not before both men went to war. Their rematch promises to be a classic.
