Canadian Wrestling's Elite returned to its Transcona home last night in front of ANOTHER standing room only Rookie's Sports Bar and what a night of surprises and developments!
1) In a 2019 King Of Transcona Qualifying Match "The Main Vein" Dick Blood pinned Tyler James to advance to the King Of Transcona Qualifying Battle Royal later in the evening.
2) In a 2019 KOT Qualifying Match CWE Tag Team Champion "The Boston Bruiser" Kevin O'Doyle made short work of "Average" Adam Race to advance.
3) CWE 123Approved.ca Hardcore Champion "Misfit" Mike Mission was victorious "Pimp Daddy" Rick Matthews to advance in KOT19.
4) "Fabulous Creebird" Kevy Chevy delivered The Chevy Impala running piledriver on Dragneel to advance in KOT19.
5) It wasn't pretty but "The Headline" Shaun Martens beat "Gatlin" Gunner Church in his Winnipeg wrestling debut to advance in KOT19.
6) "The Mastermind" Kevin Cannon demanded Bobby Collins not get involved and watch from ringside as he would defeat Sam Davidson like Collins should have in January but "Cyber" Sam Davidson pinned The Cannon Corporation leader with a slingshot sunset flip over the top rope as Collins refused to touch Davidson even though a reeling Cannon demanded him to while he distracted the referee to advance in KOT19.
7) Scott Ripley w/"The Coach" Kelly Russell was declared the winner over the 400+lbs "Big" Cliff Corleone to advance in KOT19. Yes, you read that correctly. Corleone's heated rival Mike Mission hit the ring as Corleone was about to chokebomb Ripley through the mat. Corleone dropped him in what he expected to be a chair shot but instead Mike Mission blasted Scott Ripley which disqualified Cliff Corleone. An irate Corleone realizing the ploy that just transpired still chokebombed Ripley for his troubles.
8) In a battle of the muscle bound beasts, the debuting "Cheetahbear" Jude Dawkins pinned the returning "Human Terminator" Marcellus Prime to advance in KOT19.
9) CWE Champion "Hotshot" Danny Duggan submitted WWE Cruiserweight Classic Star "The Wrestling Machine" Tyson Dux with The Crueler Crossface to retain the championship.
10) In possibly the upset of the decade, Scott Ripley was crowned the 2019 King Of Transcona. The battle royal featuring all of the winners of the qualifying round earlier in the evening came down to Kevy Chevy, Shaun Martens, & Scott Ripley. The Coach passed his clipboard to Ripley who blasted Chevy in the head with it to no avail whatsoever. A now angry Chevy who had just hit Coach off the apron through Ripley over the top rope and it appeared he was eliminated. However his feet did NOT land on the floor as they landed on a knocked out Kelly Russell. As Chevy and Martens fought for positioning as they were both over the top rope, Ripley used the very little push needed to have both men hit the floor and become the winner.
11) The Cannon Corporation represented by Dan "The Beast" Severn, CWE Tag Team Champion "The Canadian Crusher" AJ Sanchez, "Big" Bobby Schink, & "The Rebel" Bobby Collins w/"The Mastermind" Kevin Cannon beat the team of "The Rabid Dog" Rob Stardom, "Mr. Beefy Goodness" Vance Nevada, & The Old School Wrecking Crew, "Outlaw" Adam Knight & "The Tattooed Terminator" Darren Dalton when Severn choked out Stardom with The Dragon Sleeper. After the match Cannon paid off his men but withheld Severn's envelope insisting the job wasn't done as Stardom was still still moving. Severn demanded his money and grab Cannon by the throat. As soon as he did Schink and Collins attacked him which allowed Cannon to escape but Schink and Cannon weren't so lucky as Severn laid waste to both men!
