Last night, Steeltown Pro Wrestling (SPW) presented its 4th Annual Winnipeg Warfare at the Royal Canadian Legion, 1335 Main Street. Now this was SPW’s 70th live event since opening its doors in 2008 but enough of all this jibber jabber. Here are the results of Winnipeg Warfare from the Master Blogger.
Opening Contest: Bad To The Bone (''Big'' Cliff Corleone & Reggie Gallagher) vs. Cory Diamond and Shawn Northstar - Corleone tossed Diamond to the mat as Diamond got the fans fired up until Cliff tossed Cory to the mat again. Cory puts Cliff in a headlock and gets slapped in the face not once, not twice, but three times when Cliff stopped Cory by saying ''look up.'' Cory dropkicks Reggie and gets a 2 count with a rollup and a backslide followed by a schoolboy for which Gallagher calls a time out. Diamond clotheslines Reggie in the corner and tags in Shawn who delivers a legdrop on the arm followed by an armbar with the fans chanting Break It!! Northstar delivers shoulders to Reggie in the corner and tags in Diamond who with Shawn double-team Gallagher with a double back-elbow. Next, Diamond puts Reggie in a sleeperhold and delivers a knee only to get the count broken up by Big Cliff. Reggie recovers with a superplex but Diamond gets the shoulder up. Cliff delivers a kick to the gutt as well as shoulders. Both members of Bad To The Bone took turns choking Diamond with the middle rope. Cory managed to deck a clothesline from Gallagher but both men went down as a result of a double clothesline. This prompted Cory to tag in Northstar who doubleteamed both members of Bad To The Bone for a bit but in the end Gallagher and Corleone got the win.
Ike Idol Promo: Idol claims that he is the SPW Heavyweight Champion and for those who don't know what that means, ''I will tell you'' It means that you have the respect of not only the boys in the back but also the fans. At this point he calls out La Sombra. Idol tells La Sombra that he may have won the Kerry Brown Memorial Cup last time they were here, he may have won the Red River Rumble, but if he wants a title shot he has to compete in a Rapid Rumble. (that's a battle royal for those who might be reading this)

Match #3 - Buddy Wiser vs. Jethro Hawg - This was a match between 2 of the top veterans of independent wrestling. A collar elbow tieup and Wiser gets shoved to the mat. Jethro put Wiser in an armbar and next did a legdrop on the arm but Buddy got out somehow only to have Hawg go back to work on the arm. Buddy stopped Jethro with a chokehold and a hard chop followed by a hard right and a clothesline to the turnbuckle followed by a second clothesline to take down Jethro. Jethro got the fans fired up but Wiser took him down again with a nerve hold while Hawg tried to get the fans fired up again only to be put down by Buddy with a boot, but Jethro recovered with a hard right and a double-arm clothesline followed by a splash for the win.
Match #4 - ''Really Crazy'' Rob Stardom vs. ''Mr TLC'' Tommy Lee Curtis - Rob claimed before the match that if the turnbuckles weren't fixed, he would not wrestle. Stardom backed Curtis to the corner only to have Tommy take Rob down with a headlock. Rob fought back only to have TLC take Stardom down again with another headlock takedown and perform pushups on Really Crazy's back. Rob got taken down again with another headlock from TLC. Stardom delivered 2 knees in the corner and said his famous saying ''Who's your daddy?'' TLC recovered with an armdrag takedown, however, Really Crazy managed to takedown TLC with a jawbreaker. TLC delivered a toprope legdrop but only got a 2. Stardom ran Curtis into the turnbuckle only to have Tommy turn the tables for awhile, but Stardom countered with a neckbreaker for a 2. Rob takes Curtis over with a snapmare and a kick to the back of the head followed by a chokehold and a hard chop but TLC recovers with a bodyslam as well as a dropkick. A backslide attempt by both men was blocked twice but the third time, Curtis took Rob over but only got a 2 count. As both men fought on the top rope, Curtis managed to get the win in the end.
Intermission: several wrestlers came out to sign autographs and I went to the canteen.
Match #5 - James Beaver vs. ''Classic'' Matt Fairlane - Beaver backed Matt to the corner but Fairlane took him down. On the outside, Fairlane rammed Beaver into the ringpost. Back in the ring, Matt delivered hard rights and a clothesline but Beaver took him down with a jawbreaker. Matt bounced back with a spinebuster but Beaver came back with a knee to the gutt and a hard slam. As Beaver ascended the ropes, Matt stopped him with his patented Fairlane Widowmaker from the 2nd rope for a 2. Luckily, a second Fairlane Widowmaker followed by a top rope elbow was enough to put the Englishman away.
Match #6 - Marius vs. ''Misfit'' Mike Mission - The match begins with Mission putting Marius in an armbar. Marius would reverse it and put the Misfit in a headlock as well as an armbar of his own. Mission takes Marius down with a clothesline as well as a bodyslam. On the outside of the ring, Marius rammed Mission's head into the ring post, as well as a slam on the floor. Back inside the ring, Mission bounced back for a bit but Marius would deliver a boot and put Mission in a cross armbar. Marius delivered a suplex but when he went up top for 2nd rope legdrop, the Misfit rolled out of the way. This prompted Mission to recover with a clothesline as well as a bulldog but Marius kicked out at 2. Next, Mission delivered the Mission Statement DDT but in the end Marius got the win after a Peyote Piledriver.
Match #7 - Main Event: SPW Heavyweight Title Match - ''Iron'' Ike Idol vs. La Sombra - Idol attacked Sombra from the opening bell and continued the assault on the outside by working on the knee. Back in the ring, once order was restored, the champ delivered a suplex but only got a 2. Idol continued with a backdrop on the knee as well as a half Boston Crab. With the fans urging La Sombra on, the challenger was not ready to give up yet. Ike purched Sombra on the second rope but Sombra recovered with a backdrop as well as a 619. A top rope splash by the challenger only was a 2 count. Idol bounced back with a clothesline but then both men took the battle to the outside. Once outside the ring, Sombra ran Idol into the ringpost and both men continued to fight until SPW President Dale Barnett ruled the match a No Contest/Double Countout. However, because a title can only change hands on a pinfall or submission, still SPW Champion Ike Idol. After the match Sombra made a statement to Idol: Next time we are here or whatever town we are in, I am gonna get you!!
