International TV Title Battle Royal (February 28, 1987- International Wrestling- Canada)
Thought it isn't discussed often, there was an International TV Title in the International Wrestling promotion out of Montreal. Initiated in 1984, the TV title was originally created as a trophy that was put up in a tournament won by Leo Burke. In a famous TV angle, Burke was attacked by fellow babyface Richard Charland, who broke the trophy over Burke's head. I'm not sure of the exact chronology of the title from that point forward, but Alofa the Polynesian Prince (a young Rikishi Fatu) won the vacant title in a match against Bob Della Serra sometime in July 1986, then lost it to Sheik Ali in the fall of 1986.
Once Sheik Ali left the promotion in early January 1987 (Ali was also co-holder of the International Tag Team Titles w/Charland), the International TV Title was vacant and put up in a battle royal. The battle royal also included a $5,000 prize for the winner. Here we have the battle royal that was taped in the Robert Guertin Centre in Hull, Quebec.
Among the participants were Leo Burke, Dan Kroffat, Armand Rougeau, Gilles the Fish Poisson, Rocky Della Serra, the Hangman Neil Guay, Pretty Boy Chuck Simms, Gino Brito Jr., Denis Goulet, Yvon Laverdure, the Spoiler, and Claude Hebert. Pretty Boy Floyd Creatchman and Ron Francis (Montreal sports broadcaster, who filled in for Milt Avruskin on commentary for a few weeks) provide commentary. Following the match is an interview with Floyd and the winner of the battle royal, but you'll have to watch to find out who wins!

Mike Johnson At PWInsider Screws It Up AGAIN- Can't Post The CORRECT LINK (It's Okay Mikey, We'll Do It For You)
Let's play "Let's See How Long It Takes" for Mike Johnson to fix his mistake, shall we? (smiles)
UPDATE- 1-11-22 4:30 AM
TWELVE HOURS LATER Mike 'finally' decided to fix his fuck up (LOL). I know for a fact (as i have the messages and a couple emails to prove it) that Mike was slammed and verbally humiliated as well as made fun of by people who come to this site regularly. So TWELVE HIOURS later after people made fun of him for being this stupid and lazy he finally fixed it.
The 'professionalism over at PWInsider knows no bounds it seems, LOL.
Special thank you to "Stephen" (You know who you are) for sending this to a staff member here at WP&P.
Mike Johnson is continuing his screw up ways over at PWInsider.
Besides getting the Kimber Lee firing wrong as we covered here https://billsbrandnewblog.blogspot.com/2022/01/pwinsider-gets-owned-for-getting-kimber.html as well as getting caught AGAIN with falsely advertising something for his 'Elite' membership that's available on YouTube for free that we covered here https://billsbrandnewblog.blogspot.com/2022/01/pwinsider-busted-yet-again-for-falsely.html AND here https://billsbrandnewblog.blogspot.com/2021/12/once-again-pwinsider-gets-it-wrong-when.html He now shows he can't even post the correct link to something.
Not a good time to be someone working at PWInsider, that's for sure, LOL.
Here's the latest fuck up. Take a look at this.
What's circled is him 'trying' to plug an indie show, BUT. THIS is what you get when you click the link HE provided.
AAHH YEP, SURE DOES look like something in Indiana to us, LMAO! Yes indeedy That's as Indiana as the world is flat.
"Great Job" Mike, 'TOP NOTCH' five star all the way (throws a sarcastic 'thumbs up')
But since PWInsider has such trouble posting the right link, WE HERE at Wrestling Past And present will do Mike a favor and post the RIGHT link for him.
Here you go, try this one, you'll actually get a lot further with the link WE post here, than the one HE posted 'over there', LMAO!
https://www.eaglecountryonline.com/news/local-news/pro-wrestling-in-versailles/
THIS is what you're SUPPOSED to see.
We'll even throw this in for you since we actually know what the fuck we're doing.
You can see that HERE at this 'correct' link. https://allevents.in/versailles-in/wrestling?ref=tagmap
You know, once Mike Johnson sees how we corrected HIS fuck up, HE won't have the balls to actusally thank us for it.
Keep them fuck ups coming, it just further shows why when we post something, we do it correctly and don't get slammed by other wrestling news sites for getting it wrong.
You can thank us now, it was indeed 'our pleasure', to fix this for PWInsider (huge smile).
