Gordon Solie welcomes the viewers to Rogers Arena in Vancouver for tonight's edition of Friday Night Fury that features "Ravishing" Rick Rude's challenge for the DCWF World Championship against Big Van Vader and The Road Warriors vs The Killer Bees. To the action ...



Trish Stratus defeated Rockin' Robin by pin

After some back-and-forth action, Stratus pinned Robin with Stratusfaction.



Big John Studd (with Bobby "The Brain" Heenan) defeated Tom "Rocky" Stone by pin

Stone angered Studd by offering to shake his hand at the opening bell and then attacking instead and paid the price when he was nearly decapitated by a clothesline for the 3-count.



George "The Animal" Steele defeated Koko B. Ware by countout

After tearing apart a turnbuckle, Steele was working over Ware and scored several near falls before finally getting a countout victory after he two-arm chokelifted the Birdman and tossed him over the top rope.



"Hot Stuff" Eddie Gilbert defeated "The Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase (with Virgil) by submission

Gilbert was having his way with The Million Dollar Man (5 tokens) until Virgil interfered and flattened him. DiBiase then locked in the Million Dollar Dream, but Hot Stuff was able to work his way to the ropes to break the hold. Gilbert regained the momentum and applied the figure-four as Doctor X rushed ringside and decked Virgil, leaving DiBiase no choice but to tap out.



The Brisco Brothers defeated Too Cool (Grandmaster Sexay & Scotty 2 Hotty) by pin

The Briscos put on a clinic, never letting Scotty 2 Hotty to legally enter the ring, with Jack scoring the fall on Sexay with a reverse cradle.

The Road Warriors (with Paul Ellering) defeated The Killer Bees by pin

The Legion of Doom had little trouble with the Bees; a pair of Animal Power Slams of Blair secured the victory.



World Championship -- "Ravishing" Rick Rude (with DCWF TV Champion "The Franchise" Shane Douglas & Francine) defeated Big Van Vader (c) by disqualification

The champ hit an early Vader Bomb and surely would've had the victory if Douglas hadn't interfered. Vader followed The Franchise out of the ring and ducked a chair shot before dropping him with a big right hand. Rude tried to attack the distracted champ, but Vader sensed it and stopped him in his tracks with a big boot to the midsection followed by a powerslam atop the chair that had referee Joey Marella calling for the bell. Francine jumped on Vader's back, but that proved to be foolhardy as he Samoan dropped her through the announcers' table, leaving carnage everywhere as the crowd roared its approval.

Muraco finished off Sharpe with The Hawaiian Hammer.



The Iron Sheik (with "Classy" Freddie Blassie) defeated Bob Backlund (with Arnold Skaaland) by pin

Blassie nearly stole an early victory for his charge when he dropped Backlund with his cane, but Backlund kicked out and regained control of the match until The Iron Sheik surprised him with a Sunset Flip for the 3-count (aided by a handful of tights).



TV Title -- "Wildfire" Tommy Rich defeated "The Franchise" Shane Douglas (with "Ravishing" Rick Rude & "Head Cheerleader" Francine) (c) by disqualification

Rich was running circles around Douglas (4 tokens) and it looked like the DCWF's longest title reign was about to come to an end until The Ravishing One entered the ring and hit a Rude Awakening on Rich that handed a DQ victory (but no belt) to Wildfire.

[Pariah]

Even though he failed to capture the World title, Rude has formed a highly effective alliance with the Franchise and Francine... And it could help him dethrone Vader at some point... Exciting!

Yeah, definitely going better so far than their actual alliance in ECW did. I've rolled several cards ahead and given what's to come, I'm thinking this feud is going to end up in a cage match.

[TTX]

Go Snack Time.

Rude and Douglas do make a good combo.

Ivory was able to secure her charges a Championship rematch, but had to agree to Commissioner Teddy Long's added stipulation that they'll be barred from challenging for the title for a year if they're unsuccessful and things didn't look good when Windham & Blanchard took turns battering Brown with Blanchard taking the first fall with a Slingshot Suplex on D'Lo. Henry took charge in the second fall, crushing Blanchard with a World's Strongest Slam before Dillon interfered to break the count. Brown then had Windham in trouble before the action spilled outside the ring where Windham & Blanchard were DQ'd for using brass knuckles on Henry during a wild brawl that left the match even at one fall apiece. The bad blood intensified in the final fall when the champs repeatedly got away with using the brass knuckles to knock out Henry, eventually claiming the victory when Windham locked in the Blackjack Claw on the non-responsive big man. Total Tokens: Henry 7, Brown 7, Windham 6, Blanchard 1

World Championship -- Big Van Vader (c) defeated "Ravishing" Rick Rude (with DCWF TV Champion "The Franchise" Shane Douglas" & Francine) by pin

Douglas hit a Pittsburgh Plunge and Francine delivered a DDT before they departed with Rude. Heenan feigned disgust as Paramedics immobilized Vader's neck and took the champion out on a stretcher.

[TTX]

Go Vader and nice win by the Macho Man.

[Pariah]

Not often that Vader becomes the victim of a beatdown.... The sight of Francine spiking him with that DDT would have been worth the price of admission alone... EPIC!
