Thanks as always to barfly for this week's comments!
EpicDave: Hey, fans! Welcome to Heartland Championship Wrestling! It is a magnificent Wednesday night here in Canada, and the mighty men of Patriot Championship Wrestling have come to battle it out in the best of professional wrestling competition. Everybody's favorite patriot, SGT. SLAUGHTER, is here tonight to defend his North American Heavyweight Championship against THE SPOILER. Plus- a No Disqualification Grudge Match is coming your way as DEMOLITION SMASH throws down against BOBBY FULTON. It's gonna be a summer sizzler here in The Big Smoke, fans- so relax, grab yourself a cold one, and enjoy the show!
ED 'STRANGLER' LEWIS defeated SWEET DADDY SIKI** by submission with the Strangler's Headlock
PEPPER GOMEZ pinned SUPERSTAR GRAHAM** with the Mexican Cradle
THE ORIGINAL MIDNIGHT EXPRESS (RANDY ROSE & DENNIS CONDREY) defeated LEX LUGER***** & MAGNUM TA when Rose pinned Luger after a clothesline
After the defeat, Magnum tried to console Luger, but Luger turned his back and walked away in disgust.
EpicDave: Another unexpected defeat for Luger and Magnum. Luger took a pounding in that match, and I don't know if there is any path forward for this team as they have fallen out of title contention.
HARLEY RACE* pinned GEORGE HACKENSCHMIDT**** with a Falling Headbutt
GRUDGE MATCH- NO DISQUALIFICATION:
BOBBY FULTON** pinned DEMOLITION SMASH* with a Fantastic Cradle
Smash came to the ring with bad intentions, looking to annihilate Fulton in advance of their upcoming world tag team title match. But Fulton stayed a step ahead of Smash, taking Smash over with repeated arm drags and pelting the bigger man with dropkicks. Smash became frustrated and charged at Fulton, giving Bobby exactly the opening he needed to lock in the cradle and score the pin.
After the match, Smash rolled out of the ring and slapped the mat in frustration as Fulton celebrated.
ARN ANDERSON** & TULLY BLANCHARD** (w/JAMES J. DILLON) defeated THE ROCK & ROLL EXPRESS (RICKY MORTON*** & ROBERT GIBSON*****) when Tully pinned Gibson with a Slingshot Suplex
Longtime rivals squared off in an exciting tag team match, but it was a relative newcomer whose influence made the difference. The Rock 'N Rolls went back and forth with Anderson and Blanchard in an intense, back-and-forth duel. Both teams had opportunities to win, but the teamwork on both sides allowed the way for escapes. Anderson got in trouble, until JOHNNY VALENTINE arrived at ringside and pulled Morton off the ring apron. In the chaos, Dillon was able to toss his shoe into Anderson, who clocked Gibson and escaped to tag in to Tully. Tully seized the opportunity to deliver his finisher, and as the dust settled, Tully was able to cover Gibson for the win.
EpicDave: It seems that the genius of James J. Dillon has once again paid its dividends.
MAIN EVENT: NORTH AMERICAN HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP
SGT. SLAUGHTER (c) pinned THE SPOILER* after a Catapult into the turnbuckle
It seemed that the odds were stacked against the champion as Spoiler was accompanied to the ring by ANGELO MOSCA. But Sarge kept his cool, and when Mosca made a move to get involved, Slaughter catapulted Spoiler into Mosca, and after the massive collision, Slaughter made the cover and picked up the three count.
EpicDave: What a move by Sergeant Slaughter! The fans here in Toronto love this great American hero as much as anybody- and tonight, Slaughter has thrilled the crowd with an exciting victory to continue his impressive run as North American Heavyweight Champion. All right, fans- we're done here. Thanks for checking us out tonight! Heartland will be back on Saturday Night with a tremendous night of action from Pro Wrestling Mid-America. Come check it out as STING puts it all on the line against KEVIN STEEN in a Steel Cage Grudge Match- and in the Main Event, JACK & JERRY BRISCO will defend the Pro Wrestling Mid-America Tag Team Championship in a No-Disqualification showdown against THE ROAD WARRIORS. That's our show, and I AM OUTTA HERE!
Patriot Heavyweight Champion: BOB BACKLUND
Patriot Tag Team Champions: DEMOLITION (AX & SMASH)
North American Champion: SGT. SLAUGHTER
