Canadian Wrestling’s Elite (CWE) made yet another stop in Yorkton last week (Tuesday, Sept. 29), and for good reason.
Every time the Winnipeg-based professional wrestling company comes to the city, the people of Yorkton show their overwhelming support.
Things weren’t different on September 29, as Yorkton residents showed up in droves to watch the middle show of the predominately female Girls, Girls, Girls Tour. “Tonight’s stop in Yorkton was night five and it was the most successful stop on the tour so far,” mentioned CWE owner and promoter Danny Warren. “The people of Yorkton showed up in good numbers and they were a loud and boisterous crowd. Not only was it successful in terms of attendance, but in overall enthusiasm as well.
“The people of Yorkton love their wrestling, whether it is men or women, and we just love coming back here.”
Because of that wrestling love, Warren says CWE has decided to make one last stop in Yorkton in the 2015 calendar year, shortlisting the city as one of just three (including Winnipeg) that will see CWE action in December. “We’re only doing a few towns on our December tour, three of them to be exact,” said Warren, continuing, “Yorkton is one of those three because the people here have been so supportive of everything we do so we’re very excited to come back here on December 2 and on into 2016.”
Rumoured to be coming to Yorkton on December 2 is Ring of Honor (ROH) star Silas Young, as well as many of the talented CWE stars. In addition, Warren suggested that there might be another big name that will be competing on the December tour. “There might also be another headliner coming but as of yet we can’t release any information because we’re still dotting some ‘I’s and crossing some ‘T’s,” said a grinning Warren, adding that they’ll announce the signing sometime in the near future on their Facebook page: CWE Wrestling.
As for the Girls, Girls, Girls Tour, Warren believes that the ladies that wrestled did a good job in promoting women’s wrestling to an area of the country that had never before seen a female-based tour. “These girls on this tour have been absolutely incredible. Their work ethic is just as great, if not higher than most of, if not all of the boys,” offered Warren. “They go in there and they bust their butts off. Unfortunately women’s wrestling had a bad stigma for so long and these girls are working very hard to overcome that.
“They go in there and leave it all in the ring and they put on one heck of a show each and every night.”
Results
Fan favourite Bambi Hall came out victorious in the evening’s opening match, besting both Sahara Se7en and Ashley Frost in a triple threat match despite continual double-team efforts by her two opponents.
The team of ‘Hotshot’ Danny Duggan and Yorkton’s own Bull Bodnar showed ‘The Rebel’ Bobby Collins and Jacob Creed the meaning behind tolerance, handing the confederate supporters a rough defeat when Bodnar flattened Collins with a falling powerslam.
The third contest of the night was arguably the best match of the event, as Aja Perera and Kat Von Heez went toe-to-toe for quite some time before Perera scored the victory when associate Sahara Se7en arrived at ringside to hold down Von Heez’s leg, thereby preventing a kickout before the count of three.
The two American women then viciously attacked Von Heez until Bambi Hall came out and challenged the two ladies to a tag team main event match with the stipulation that if Hall and Von Heez were to lose, neither of them would step foot in Yorkton again. Perera and Se7en accepted.
The fourth match of the event saw up-and-coming star Alexander Prime from Regina’s High Impact Wrestling (HIW) come in and secure the victory over a very game ‘Hot Prospect’ Travis Cole.
In the main event Kat Von Heez and Bambi Hall managed to cause a double tapout as both ladies locked submissions onto their opponents Sahara Se7en and Aja Perera, meaning both Von Heez and Hall can continue wrestling in Yorkton in the future.
