Match Rating: ***½Segment: BackstageThe CWA logo is shown on the wall as Bobby Heenan, King Kong Bundy, Nick Bockwinkel and Killer Kowalski walk into few.
Heenan: Ladies and gentlement what you see before you is the group of men that after tonight will rule the Canadian Wrestling Alliance. You see this man right here (points at King Kong Bundy) he is your next World Champion he is the true king of the CWA.
Bundy: That’s right Bobby there is no one in the CWA that can match my power. Cowboy Bob Orton my advise for you is to get on your horse and head out of town cause if you don’t there is an Avalanche with your name on it coming for you in our match. And after I am done with you it doesn’t matter if it’s Johnny Valentine or the Sheik your not stopping me from becoming World Champion.
Heenan: And to you two Jacked up morons who just beat the Texas Hangman to advance to face these two (points to Nick Bockwinkel and Killer Kowalski) gentlemen you have no chance of beating them even with that moron you call a manager leading you.
Bockwinkel: Road Warriors you are powerful but the two of us (points to himself and Kowalski) have more experience combined the you two have brain cells. And with Bobby here we have more intelligence as well.
Kowalski: We are ring generals as you are just mere grunts. We have studied your every move and we know your weakness and we are going to exploit it and take those Tag belts home with us.
Heenan: So as you can see ladies and gentlemen we are prepared to make history tonight are you prepared to see it.
With that all 4 men walk off and the camera flips to Donovan Black at the Commentators podium.
Black: Well it looks like the Heenan Family is ready to take over the CWA but they still have a few obstetrical in the way. Let’s get back to the action as Frank Gotch makes his CWA debut.
Frank Gotch vs Jimmy SnukaThis match was a mat classic the match started out with Snuka just dominating Gotch and even scoring his finisher the SUPERFLY LEAP but Gitch managed to kick out then make a come back and once he got control he took Snuka to the mat and just didn’t let up and picked up the win via submission when he locked Snuka in the guilotine choke and Snuka tapped out.

World Championship Tournament Round 03
Cowboy Bob Orton vs King Kong Bundy w/Bobby HeenanThe match started off with Bob Orton going right at Bundy and keeping him on deffence for most of the first part of the match but just when it looked like Bundy was going to be defeated Bobby Heenan signalled to the back and Bockwinkel and Kowalski came running down. Bockwinkel jumped on the apron getting the refs attention while Kowalski slid in the ring and attacked Orton and helping Bundy regain the offence as the ref cleared the ring of the two intruders Bundy took over on offence and hit the AVALANCH for the 5 count and the win. He was joined in the ring by Heenan, Bockwinkel and Kowalski.
Winner: King Kong Bundy w/Bobby Heenan
Match Rating: ****Black: That is not how that should have gone down you can bet I will be having a talk to Mr. Heenan and his men about that. The CWA is about fair play and that was just out right thuggery in my opinion.

Winner: Johnny Valentine
