Announcer: Ed Whalen, Jim Davies (ring Announcer) Referees: Cedric Hathaway, Wayne Hart, Jurgen Himmler, Ross Hart, Ron Hayter **The opening plays, showing several Stampede stars of past and present, in action in short clips. We then join Ed Whalen sitting at the announcer's table at ringside. Ed Whalen says he is happy to be back for another week in Stampede Wrestling and what a week of action. It is going to be a ring-a-ding-dong-dandy of a show. ** / 1. Tatsumi Fujinami b. Black Tiger Interview In broken English, Fujinami accepts Singh’s challenge for the New Year’s title match saying as former world champion, it will be his pleasure to take the British Commonwealth Mid-Heavyweight belt away and wear it proudly. / / COMMERCIAL Monday: Lethbridge, Alberta Tuesday: Regina, Saskatchewan (Exhibition Auditorium) Wednesday: Saskatoon, Saskatchewan Thursday: Medicine Hat, Alberta or Red Deer, Alberta (alternating) Friday: Calgary, Alberta Saturday: Edmonton, Alberta / / 2. International tag title match: Champions Billy Two Eagles and Sonny Two Rivers b. Gerry Morrow & Cuban Assassin when Two Eagles hits the top rope missile dropkick on Morrow Interview Eagles & Rivers tell Ed Whalen that The Memphis Mafia of Ronn Starr and Wayne Farris are next on the champion’s hit list. No more sneak attacks, no more two on one. In a week’s time, the titles will be on the line and there will be hell to pay. Starr and Farris are going to be running away out of the ring just to stop the fight that they started. The sneaky, underhanded stuff is over and it is time to pay the piper. / 3. The Masters of Disaster w. “Pretty Boy” Floyd Creatchman b. Keith & Owen Hart when Owen is caught while trying a top rope bodyblock on Duke Myers and slammed for his effort. Creatchman is with Ed Whalen in the ring, as well as his Masters of Disasters. He tells Whalen that his man are in the tournament to crown the first Can-Am tag team champions. He says he is the manager of champions having lead Duke Myers to the tag titles numerous times and this time will not be different. After all the no good hole in the fighting machine that is Creatchman’s stable is now gone. They got rid of that sissy Hubert Gallant and brought back the man that made the Masters of Disaster a more formidable team than any other…Kerry Brown. Now the circle is complete and none of these other wrestlers are going to last 30 seconds when the Masters of Disaster get in the ring. AWA Heartland better get ready because a disaster as about to hit their area and come back to Stampede as Can-Am tag team champions. / / COMMERCIAL Monday: Lethbridge, Alberta Tuesday: Regina, Saskatchewan (Exhibition Auditorium) Wednesday: Saskatoon, Saskatchewan Thursday: Medicine Hat, Alberta or Red Deer, Alberta (alternating) Friday: Calgary, Alberta Saturday: Edmonton, Alberta / / 4. Jos Leduc b. Mike Shaw with his bear hug Jos LeDuc once again grabs the microphone from Ed Whalen and calls out Bret Hart. Punching his own face and head, Leduc says he is not crazy, he is not insane. He wants Bret Hart in the ring. He does not want to hurt Bret… he wants to HUG BRET HART!!!! With that, he picks up Mike Shaw and puts him back in the bear hug. He refuses to let it go until he is attacked by THE STOMPER ARCHIE GOULDIE!!! The Stomper gives LeDuc a good kick to the back that makes LeDuc drop Shaw. LeDuc turns around and the brawl is on. These two brawl in and out of the ring and all the way to the back. / 5. Bad News Allen b. Davey Boy Smith with the enziguiri / / Ending the show with a fade off to Ed Whalen saying “In the meantime….and in between time...that’s it…for another edition…of Stampede wrestling…Bye now”. . .
