Card 11 Civic Auditorium, Oshawa, ON- October 13, 2022
Brad Armstrong v. Paul Ellering
Referee: Morgan Dollar
Hot opener to get things going. Both competitors traded moves back and forth with near prefect counters. Armstrong picked up the pace but Ellering was game. Armstrong caught Ellering with a lariat bouncing out of the corner and nearly took the victory with the following two handed bulldog. Armstrong used a sleeper hold to do some damage before Ellering was able to power back including back to back overhead body slams. Armstrong was able to use a sleeper hold late in the match and it was enough to keep Ellering on the mat for the victory after about ten minutes. Winner: Armstrong *** ½
American Males (Marcus Alexander Bagwell & Scotty Riggs) v. Vachons (Butcher Vachon & Mad Dog Vachon)
Referee: James Beard
Fans new this one might be a bit crazy especially when Beard came to the ring to officiate the action. The Males used double teaming and quick tags early on to get the upper hand. The Vachons came back before long and a Mad Dog Pounce shut down Bagwell. Butcher Vachon took the action back to the floor and Bagwell was ready with a big body slam that put Vachon through a ringside table. With the fans roaring, Riggs assisted Bagwell in rolling Vachon back inside where Bagwell ended it with a YELLOWJACKET SUPLEX after about 11 minutes. Winners: Males ** ½
Adrian Adonis v. Hugh Morrus
Referee: Morgan Dollar
Adonis took Morrus to task from the opening bell including a gut wrench backbreaker and knee smashes. Morrus escaped to the floor where Adonis cracked him with a chair after just under two minutes and that was it. Winner: Morrus by disqualification. DUD
Canadian Open Tag Team Champions Fabulous Kangaroos (Al Costello & Roy Heffernan) w/Wild Bill Berry v. Chris Candido & “Playboy” Buddy Rose
Referee: Morgan Dollar; Dr. Mike Lano at ringside
The official had strict instructions for both sides and the fans were concerned this one might be over early. They could have not been more wrong. This was just an epic back and forth battle that had the fans on the edge of the seats despite their dislike for both teams. Double teaming and defensive tags ruled the action early on including a Flapjack to Al Costello and later a Kangaroo Leap to Candido and a catapult smash to both Candido and Rose. The Champions looked to have the match won after a BOOMERANG to Candido but Rose made a key pin save. The Kangaroos kept on Candido including a Kangaroo Leap and another BOOMERANG but Rose again jumped into the action this time dropping an elbow onto Al Costello and making sure Candido ended on top of Costello for a big two and half count. Rose looked to have the match won with an INSIDE BACKBREAKER but a pin save kept the action going. Candido took a third BOOMERANG and somehow put a foot on the ropes (Roll of 12!) and the fans exploded. Rose took over the match for his team with Candido not even able to stand on the apron for a stretch. Rose survived a Marble Bor Leglock and Catapult Smash to keep the match going before Candido had to finally get back into the mix. The champions had control as the action spilled to the floor where Berry decided to get into the action and run Rose into the ringside table. Dollar saw the manager get involved and called for the disqualification after about 37 minutes of tag team glory. Winners: Chris Candido & “Playboy” Buddy Rose by disqualification. *****
Tiger Conway Sr. & Tiger Conway Jr. v. Long Riders (“Wild” Bull Irwin & Scott “Hog” Irwin)
Referee: Morgan Dollar
Dollar has strict instructions for both teams to start off the second half of the show. The Conways do a great job of keeping “Hog” Irwin away from his corner and work him over making quick tags. “Wild” Bill finally gets into the match and gets in some offense against the younger Conway but soon Conway Sr. tags in once again against Scott Irwin and takes back control of the match. A head butt stuns Irwin and allows Conway Jr. to take flight with a FLYING HEAD BUTT for the three count after about 10 minutes while Conway Sr. blocks the pin save. Winners: Conway Sr. and Conway Jr. ** ½
Dutch Savage v. Stan Hansen
Referee: Morgan Dollar
Savage and Hansen trades blows at the bell and both men seemed to enjoy it.

A LARIAT ended it after only four minutes. Winner: Stan Hansen *
AWA Women’s Champion Candi Divine v. Sherri Martel
Referee: Morgan Dollar; Dr. Mike Lano at ringside
Martel has some words for Morgan Dollar before the bell and the official appears shaken up before the action gets underway. The action is back and forth.

Martel mounts an offensive with slams and a spinning toe hold. Divine uses a clothesline to get a second near fall but again Martel is able kick out of the cover.

“Macho Man” Randy Savage & Canadian Heavyweight Champion Ken Shamrock v. Doctor X & Frank Gotch
Referee: James Beard
The intensity in this tag team battle was obvious from the outset as all four men pulled out all the stops to get the upper hand including a controversial head butt from X to Savage that rendered “Macho Man” a bloody mess. Savage showed his toughness despite his blood loss surviving a GOTCH TOE HOLD and a reverse nelson before finally being able to tag out. The fans popped when Gotch squared off with Shamrock and their technical exchanges were awesome. The edge went to Gotch this time around. The fans were not happy when Gotch used a chair on Shamrock’s leg at ringside. Later, X nearly submitted Shamrock with a FIGURE FOUR LEGLOCK. The action when back and forth. Gotch escaped an ANKLE LOCK from the Canadian Champion. All four men tagged in and out as the match came to finish and X manage to catch Shamrock with a flying knee drop to get the three count after 32 minutes of insane action. Winners: X & Gotch. *****
