Send in your indy news HERE! ======================================================= The Official Newsletter of http://www.StampedeWrestling.com ======================================================= In This Edition: 1) Nightmare Tour Final Leg: Drumheller 2) Results for Mid-Summer's Nightmare: Drumheller Leg 3) Hart Bros. Merchandise 4) Bring Stampede to Your Town 5) Request to interview a Stampede star 6) Train in The Dungeon 7) Contact Information ========================================== 1) Stampede Returns To Calgary... Alberta, Canada! ========================================== The 4th and final leg of the Mid-Summer's Nightmare tour from Stampede Wrestling yielded several surprising developments in Drumheller, Alberta Canada. For one, the show started with Lance Storm and Chris Daniels doing an angle, which resulted in their match running first. Storm, who the WWF originally wanted on the East Coast to appear at the King of the Ring PPV, needed to catch a red-eye back to New York. He's expected to be on WWF television this week. Storm vs. Daniels was a terrific bout as always, though fans on the Stampede Message Boards are placing their match in Medicine Hat as the best of the series. In the main event, Mike Modest fought Bruce Hart for the vacant Pacific Heavyweight Championship. Modest went over, meaning that he leaves for California with the top international title in Canada. The development truly shows that anything can happen in this business, not to mention in Stampede Wrestling. Modest has tentatively agreed to return to Calgary this fall, but dates have yet to be set. In the meantime, Modest performed for Japanese legend Mitsuharu Misawa last month, and speculation has it that the meeting will result in "The Natural One" competing for NOAH in Japan in the near future. If so, it must be assumed that Modest will be wrestling as the Pacific Champion, and it leaves the door open to title defenses against top stars all over the world. In the mean time, Modest returns home to California with not just the APW Heavyweight Title intact, but the Pacific Heavyweight Championship as well. It's certainly a tremendously exciting time for both Modest and Stampede Wrestling. ========================================== 2) Results for Mid-Summer's Nightmare: Calgary Leg ========================================== - Live from the Memorial Arena, Drumheller, before 107 paid fans. - "Fallen Angel" Christopher Daniels and "The Natural One" Mike Modest stormed the ring right from the start to cut a heel promo. Lance Storm soon arrived on the scene and demanded his match with Daniels take place immediately. The pair fought back and forth for ten minutes before Storm scored the superkick for the victory. - The Man They Hail Ali defeated Monterrey Jack Johnson in a short bout with his running Diamond Cutter finisher. The 300lb Johnson was impressive, and was quick to save what was nearly a blown spot by turning a bodyslam into an inverted side suplex. - In the Matrats special feature, Mr. Right and T.J. Wilson defeated Jack Evans and Markie Starr. T.J. took heat most of the match. Evans showed off his usual array of death-defying highspots, including the suspended senton bomb. - Apocalypse finished off the tour in impressive fashion with a victory over The Orderly and "Crazy Horse" Eddie Mustang in an elimination Bermuda Triangle match. The bout was full of near-falls until the Rock 'n' Roll drop put Orderly away courtesy of Eddie Mustang. Minutes later, Orderly repeated his shenanigans of last night by helping Apocalypse turn the tide, this time by holding his legs in place while Mustang attempted a superplex. Mustang fell back to the mat off the second rope, leaving Apocalypse the window to score with a beautiful cross body block for the victory. - Dave Swift and martial arts expert Kirk Melnyk defeated the Honor Roll team of Rico Barzini and hometown boy Dyno-Mike, accompanied by Anna Conda. The more experienced Swift and Melnyk controlled the match from the outset, as Rico bumped around like a pinball. One of the lesser-publicized stories of this tour is Rico, real name Devon Caouette, has developed into a solid worker with limitless potential over the course of just four months. Heel false taggery abounds (Keith), but the babyfaces come back and Swift scores the win with a blockbuster off the top turnbuckle. - Bruce Hart fought Mike Modest, not for the North American Title but the Pacific Heavyweight Championship. This match was originally set to be a fatal four-way, possibly with Storm and Daniels included, but Storm's WWF commitments meant he had to bow out early in the show. Bruce dominated the action up until the half way mark, when Modest used heel tactics to take over. One ref bump later - and a convincing one for once in this business - The "Fallen Angel" slugged Hart with brass knucks and Modest picked up both the pinfall victory, and the Pacific Championship. We'll have pictures of the new champion with his title up later today on StampedeWrestling.com ========================= 3) Hart Bros.

(c) 2001 Stampede Wrestling http://www.StampedeWrestling.com Top Rope Championship Wrestling News We Like It On Top! June 26th, 2001 TRCW makes national headlines! Bobby Jay was featured in the Winnipeg Sun on page 2 in a full page article on Tuesday, June 26th for offering Canadian Alliance Leader Stockwell Day and his unhappy cabinet members a chance to settle their differences in a battle royal at a TRCW show. TRCW has already received dozens of e mails regarding the article, which is also featured as the headline story on Slam Wrestling. TRCW is definitely the most talked about promotion in the territory, with coverage in the community and local newspapers, on 92 citi fm as well as CJOB, on a local cable access station, as well as on message boards on their web site (as well the other promotion's web sites) No other promotion has received this kind of coverage, as TRCW is head and shoulders above the competition. Wet T Shirt Contest spoiled by Parys, Bobby Jay makes amends On June 21st at The Palladium, Chris Parys had his own version of a Wet T Shirt Contest, bringing out male wrestlers, and the male fans in the crowd were hot, expecting to see some T & A, The crowd overwhelmingly picked The Big O as the winner, but Parys was the final judge and awarded it the contest to Vance Nevada. Bobby Jay came out and said he had a big surprise, and the 341 lb monster The Axe came through the crowd to the ring and speared Nevada and Parys. Jay then announced the would be a Legitimate Wet T Shirt Contest on Thursday, July 19th. He then said that he brought out the mucle (The Axe) and now it was time for The Babe, and out came Kimora, who took it all off for the crazy crowd. Wet T Shirt Contest set for July 19th Bobby Jay, majority owner of TRCW, announce a legitimate Wet T shirt contest will be held on July 19th at The Palladium. TRCW Official are scoting other W T Shirt contests for contestants. If you want to enter, call 228-0707 for details, as it is free to enter, and the prize money is as follows: 1st- $150.00, 2nd $100.00, 3rd $50.00 . The prelims will be at 9:30 with the finals immediately following the wrestling portion of the show (approx. 11:30) We are doing the finals after the wrestling, as we have many female fans who attend our shows that may not want to see this, so they can still see great TRCW without the T & A. If the feedback is great, we may have a male stripper after one of our shows as well. (PLEASE NOTE: this is an adult only venue, at our Chalmers or any other all ages shows you will NEVER see anything of this nature as those shows are directed towards children, and a family oriented theme is used) Shane Madison challnge by TJ Bratt Shane Madison was challenged by TJ Bratt for a match at The Palladium on June 28th. Madison said he would think about it, so we will have to see Thursday. Injury Bug Injuries have plagued TRCW of late with their hectic schedule. The Tulip and Chris Stevens have separated shoulders, Brian Jewel has a hairline crack in his kneecap, The Big O has a sore knee,and Ronnie Attitude has a recurring back problem. Another debut at The Palladium A well established Winnipeg wrestler will make his Palladium debut on Thursday, July 4th.

Global Championship Wrestling 6/23/01 Columbiana Skating Rink Columbiana Alabama Fresh off the heels of the exciting Childersburg Show last week, GCW rolled into Columbiana with an exciting night of wrestling action and a laundry list of injuries. The show opened with John Johnson and an injured Professor 2 introducing, Robert Kauffman, a high profile member of the GCW Board of Directors. Mr. Kauffman called out all the officials and admonished each and every one of them. He then proceeded to call out Mad Dog Dan Sawyer, who he suspended for hitting an official the previous week. Then the shocker of the evening, Mr. Kauffman turned his attention to Izzie Kowanawitz. Mr. Kauffman then revealed to the crowd after a background check in April, there was no such person as Izzie Kowanawitz. The corrupt official was indeed just that, it was revealed that his real name was Theodore Tutwhiler the 3rd, and as of that moment was unemployed. This set Theodore off, and he tried to attack Mr. Kauffman, the other officials, and even Mad Dog Dan Sawyer. After order was restored, another problem was presented; Mad Dog had been suspended for hitting a person who was no longer employed as an official with GCW. Mr. Kauffman rescinded the suspension. Just then, Guff Grayson's music hit, and he came out with Tutwhiler and new found friend Mason Fury. Grayson, told the crowd that along with Fury and the Inhuman Fly, they were the New Triad. and they were getting ready to dominate the GCW, and start a reign of terror. It was then time for the first match. Joe Hogan def. Night Prowler via DQ Joe Hogan came into this match outweighed by almost 60 pounds and was towered by almost a half foot. Nevertheless, Hogan proved to the crowd why he was the New Age Superstar and why he was one of the best pure wrestlers in the GCW today. Night Prowler, tried to gain the early advantage by overpowering Hogan, but was outmatched by simple reversals, and Hogan using Prowler's own momentum against him. Seeing that his power was not working against the ever-quick Joe Hogan, Prowler switched gears and began using underhanded tactics to take it to Joe Hogan. Prowler seemed to have things going his way, but a miscue gave Hogan the break he needed to once again gain the advantage on Prowler. At that point Theodore Tutwhiler the 3rd came to the ringside area and jumped on the apron to get the referee's and Joe Hogan's attention. In the meantime, Tutwhiler slipped the GCW Tag Team Belt to Night Prowler who used it to clock Hogan. The referee made the count, but Mr. Kauffman and Referee Dwight Snyder came to the ring to inform Bernie Kowanawitz of what just happened and they reversed the decision. This prompted Prowler to layout Dwight Snyder, and walk away with a victory taken from him. Mason Fury def. Sinister Seth Stevens This was a match that came as a result of the TLC match in Childersburg, when Mason Fury turned his back on his former friend, Sinister. Mason Fury went right at his former friend, with a new found aggression. Both men went at it tooth and nail, and used high risk moves to their advantage. Sinister, gained the upperhand and was on his way to teaching his former friend a lesson, but once again Fury reached down in a new found bag of tricks and retook the advantage once again. Mason Fury hit the Gore on Sinister and then attempted a top rope legdrop, but inexperience and a little time wasting gloating caused a big miss, and gave Sinister a moment to gain his breath and hit the Lethal Injection. The count was broken up by Theodore Tutwhiler, and then Guff Grayson came in the ring and assisted his friend Mason Fury in getting the pin on Sinister. Steve Armstrong def. Major Payne Major Payne attacked Steve Armstrong from behind to gain the early advantage, and kept it for much of the early part of the match. Payne was taking it to Armstrong, but the ever resilient Armstrong regained the advantage and used his height to his advantage in regaining the momentum in the match. Steve had the match going in his favor as he took Major Payne off his feet with a power attack. Just then, Steve Armstrong ascended to the top rope and hit his patent Flying Clothesline. Just after the three count was made, Inferno hit the ring and the two teammates doubled up on Armstrong. Major Payne was holding Steve while Inferno reached in his tights, and in one of the most cowardly and disgusting acts, they proceeded to burn Armstrong with a fireball. Just then Road Dogg, rushed to the ring with a towel to cover his fallen brother's face, and to attack Inferno and Major Payne. Road Dogg called the two out and with a little help from security they came back out. The first victim was Inferno who was laid out with a chair to the head. When the chair made contact, it broke over the head of Inferno. Next was Major Payne who also was laid out with a chair, only this did not break. Road Dogg then proceeded to challenge both men in a tag match. Vinny V def. Guff Grayson for the GCW Heavyweight Championship Vinny V came into this match as a former champion hell bent on revenge on the man who took that belt from him the previous week in Childersburg. Guff Grayson came out full of confidence and a little arrogance in his first defense of the GCW Championship. If Vinny V was to win the belt, it was going to be a tall order. Not only did he have to overcome a ringside full of distractions from Theodore Tutwhiler and Guff Grayson's self proclaimed New Triad, but he had to overcome a set of injured ribs suffered last week during the TLC match in Childersburg. Guff Grayson went right for the attack on the injured ribs and used that for his point of attack the whole match. Vinny tried to fight back, but each time he had the advantage a member of the Triad would help cut him off and make the match an uphill battle for Vinny V. Guff Grayson had things going his way and even hit "The Total Breakdown". Vinny was not to be beaten so easy and found a way out of being pinned. Guff resorted to trying to use a pair of brass knuckles given to him by The Inhuman Fly, but Vinny cut him off and used the knucks himself followed by "The Jackpot", to gain the win and a second reign as GCW Heavyweight Champion. Mad Dog Dan Sawyer (w/Sherri Martel) def. The Inhuman Fly After being suspended and then reinstated earlier in the night, Mad Dog came in this match, angry, rabid, and looking for a fight. Mad Dog went right after the GCW Intercontinental Champion. Mad Dog totally overpowered his much lighter opponent, but Fly's manager Theodore Tutwhiler the 3rd was there to either offer up a distraction or break up a pinfall attempt. Inhuman Fly was able to gain an advantage and during this distraction, Theodore Tutwhiler snuck up on Sherri Martel and handcuffed her to the ringpost. With Sherri no longer a factor, Tutwhiler and the Fly had open season on the Mad Dog. Mad Dog, not to just fall silent to his opposition, fought back, but was put back down, by a mysterious mist sprayed in his face by The Inhuman Fly. Fly attempted another pinfall, but Mad Dog just was not going to lay down for the GCW Intercontinental Champion. Mad Dog fought back hard and was finally back up to his feet. He took control of the match and finally finished off the Inhuman Fly with the DDT. The referee made the count, and Mad Dog was declared the winner. Just then, the rest of the Triad came to the ring to attack the Mad Dog. With Sherri handcuffed to the ringpost and a four on one in the ring it seemed sure doom for Mad Dog Dan Sawyer, but Sinister and Vinny V hit the ring to even up the odds. As each man squared off with a different opponent, Sherri was freed from the ringpost, and she went after Tutwhiler. In an attempt to escape, Tutwhiler ran right into Mad Dog Dan Sawyer. Mad Dog held down Tutwhiler and gave Sherri a chance to gain a measure of revenge. Sherri's weapon of choice for revenge? A spanking. Tutwhiler was being spanked by Sherri while the rest of the Triad was being "spanked" by Vinny V and Sinister. Mad Dog challenged the three members of the Triad to a six man tag, which was quickly answered by Guff Grayson, but for another time. Results by: John Johnson Pro Wrestling Talent and Ontario Wrestling Fans Beware! Just a warning to any pro wrestlers, wrestling talent, and fans in suburban Ontario, Canada: A promotion called Continental Wrestling Federation scheduled to promote 3 shows under the "Wild Summer Nights" Tour this weekend in suburban Ontario, Canada has canceled their shows and canceled out all name talent 1 day before the tour was to begin. Simon Diamond, Dawn Marie, Chris Candido, Tammy Sytch, Little Guido, Johnny Swinger, Little Jeannie, Bobcat, ref Charles Robinson, and myself were all booked and advertised for 6 weeks. Although I was warned about the promoter, Doug Felton, he assured me that these shows were legit. He even sent me an airline itinerary that was never paid for and later canceled. I'm sure that all of the talent involved, like myself, passed up numerous bookings and are now left with an empty weekend. The above talent do this to make a living and are now left with nothing but empty promises. It is my hope that by distributing this information that this individual will never again be able to take advantage of wrestling talent or fans again. In the last few months, I have worked for many independent promoters that are legit and honest and feel Mr. Felton not only puts a black mark on them but on this entire business. Please do not be fooled by him again. Best Wishes, David Penzer Former WCW Ring Announcer and Front Office Employee Full Results for 6-22-01, FSW Evolution: Main Event Kid Richter d.
