El Olympico  vs. El Canek
 
“At the bell El Canek goes to work on El Olympico. El Canek is like a monster. He is ripping at the eye and mask of El Olympico. El Olympico could not get anything going in this match. El Canek worked the head and back with raw power and stiff clubs to the back. As El Canek sends El Olympico into the ropes he hit one hard close line. El Canek picks up El Olympico into a gorilla press. El Canek drops El Olympico across his knee for one big gut buster. El Canek makes the cover for the 1…2…NO HE PICKS EL OLYMPICO UP. El Canek is not finished. He picks El Olympico up into a belly to back slam. El Canek is not behind the hurt El Olympico and hit the lung blower. El Canek goes big and hit a splash off the top rope. He moves in for the cover 1…2…3”
 
“Rapido Rodriguez goes to ringside and talks with El Canek”
“Rapido”
 
El Canek you have now made the change form star to super star , after last week and the match in which you put Bobby Duncum out of SWCW. What do you have to say about this.
 
“El Canek”
 
What you have just watched is the new monster of SWCW. I am on the hunt for some new game. What I did last week to your Texas hero is just the start. Duncum asked for the match and I lived up to it. This was the match to move me forward and into the spot light. Duncum I hope you enjoy the un-employment line.

Black Cat vs. Paul Ellering
 
“Ellering and Black Cat size each other up. Ellering got the first shot in and goes to work. Black Cat did hit a short left and one hard chop. Ellering would not let that stop him as he fires back with a set of chops. Ellering is now picking Black Cat up into the air and drops hit hard to the ring. Ellering goes to work with his mat wrestling. Ellering puts the boots to Black Cat. Ellering hit a kick to the gut and hit the pile driver for the 3 count.”
 
“Gene Kelly talks with Paul”
 
Paul you are back in the title picture. Will you get your title shot soon?
 
“Ellering”
 
For the past few weeks I have called out Dr. Wagner. He must have his pager off. What do I have to do to get this guy in the ring? What he won’t face an ex-champion. Has he put a call out for his bounty hunters to take me out? Come on SWCW wake up and make this match I am calling that yellow dog out.

“Gene Kelly goes into the ring”
 
Johnny you have done it. You have just got the next title shot at the SWCW Jr. Heavy Weight title. This has got to be a big night for you. Tell the fans what your next move will be?
 
“Saint”
 
First of I have to give thanks to the SWCW front office. They picked me to be in this match and for that I am thankful. I just was in a war with seven of the best in SWCW. I took what they had and have come out on top. Angel I am looking forward to our match and I will give my all to take you down. I was not happy how you got the belt and this is something that will be in the back of my mind , so don’t try that cheap trick with me.
 
“Gene”
 
Good for you Johnny. The fans are in for one night of action when both men get into the ring.

Pampero Firpo vs. Larry Zbyszko (Non-Title Match)
 
“Larry takes the mic.”
 
 Firpo I have been back and forth with you. I just believe in science over brawn. I am sick of the way you wrestle. All you do is braw. I am challenging you to a wrestling match not a fight. Get into this ring and let’s do what I best.
 
“Firpo comes out and is in the face of Zbysko.”
 
ooooohhhhh yyyyyeaaaahhhhhh your on!
 
This was a true wrestling match. Larry road Firpo hard but could not break him. Firpo put his brawling on hold and showed he could wrestle. Larry had a look of shock on his face as Firpo took him off his feet and locked on the figure four. As the action was hot the end came when Larry was in the ref’s face. Firpo came in from behind and rolled Larry up for the clean 3 count”

Show goes to black

Taking out Duncum shows what a stud El Canek is.
 
I think the Englishman will give Angel a run for his money.
 
Firpo scores a big win. Now, if it will only come with the title on the line.
 
Ellering is the next TV champ, IMO.
 
Great TV.

Good show.
 
An impressive victory for Johnny Saint in that Battle Royal, beating Tiger Jeet Singh to win is no easy feat.  I don't know much about Saint, I see the name thrown around every so often, but from what I've read, he was quite good.
 
From reading about him on OWW, it said he was a Lightweight, and that got me thinking...with the guys you've got on your roster, particularly the Mexican guys, you could probably set up different weight classes.
 
What I mean is, instead of just the usual Heavyweight and Jr. Heavyweight, it would be really cool if you had like Jr. Heavyweight, Lightweight, Middleweight or something, like they did in Mexico.
 
I think that'd be awesome!

real hard hitign show!!
 canek made it.
