Michael Elgin was introduced and then “Psycho” Mike Rollins. Rollins said the 3rd man scheduled for their match, “Mr Wrestling” Kevin Steen, wasn’t there which meant he could kick Elgin’s ass “two thirds of the time harder.” He and Elgin both grabbed chairs and faced off in the ring when suddenly music started playing and Jimmy Jacobs appeared on the stage much to the delight of a surprised audience. Jacobs said he’d been chasing Steen for months and would finally get his hands on him at A-1’s “One More Day in Paradise” on Aug 21st. Jacobs then said he’d take Steen’s place on this show so he could watch Psycho Mike kick Elgin’s ass…

Crossfire Wrestling
St Catharines, Ontario

At the Flea Market
Results credit: Sue Ellen Reasonable

1. Patrick Watson defeated Marcos Marquez by pinfall.

2. Go Time Chris LaPlante defeated Troy Buchanon by submission.

3. The Unholy Ryot defeated Rex Atkins by pinfall.

The show was halted immediately after the third match when officials determined the ring was structurally unsound due to damage caused by The Unholy Ryot’s chokeslam on Rex Atkins at the conclusion of their match. Ryot drove Atkins to the mat with force enough to shatter beams and damage other ring support equipment. Atkins fared better than the ring did. The popular “Retro” star was assisted to the back but suffered no lasting injury beyond some nasty bruising and back strain. Damage to the ring was so extensive a satisfactory on the spot repair was impossible. Unwilling to endanger their performers or the public by bodging together a potentially dangerous ring, Crossfire management reluctantly but wisely, informed fans of the problem and called it a day.

Hey Gordo,
Crossfire was fun. It was a good show up until it ended. The matches were good and people had a good time. Too bad the ring broke and we didn’t get to see the whole show.
