Marty Posted December 10, 2010 Report Share Posted December 10, 2010 Here are the 500K+ metros for Canada: Canadian Metros 1991 Census (in 000) 3,898,933 Toronto 3,208,970 Montreal 1,602,590 Vancouver 941,814 Ottawa - Hull 841,132 Edmonton 754,033 Calgary 660,450 Winnipeg 645,550 Quebec 599,760 Hamilton Known shows in 1987: 15 - Toronto 10 - Montreal 4 - Vancouver 1 - Ottawa - Hull 1 - Edmonton 4 - Calgary 6 - Winnipeg 1 - Quebec 3 - Hamilton John The market I'm most interested in as far a battle goes is Winnipeg. They were an AWA home for a long time, and I'd be very curious as to how the WWF were able to obtain them, in comparison to other AWA towns. I'm in the Ottawa-Hull region and we've always had more of a connection to Montreal/Quebec culture/entertainment than Toronto. Wrestling was no different. We got a lot of guys back in the day who were standouts in Montreal. Edouard Carpentier, Dino Bravo, Killer Kowalski, etc. Carpentier was a huge star in Ottawa. There would be the odd occasion where the Tunneys would bring some talent to Ottawa, but our ties were mainly with Quebec. Also, how much of an issue was Vancouver? I think with much told about Stampede, and John covering Toronto, everything else in Canada is pretty well covered. Kris, it bears repeating, but this is really awesome stuff. Arguably the best thread at this board ever, and there's been many very good ones too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arguably the best thread at this board ever, and there's been many very good ones too. Winnipeg was an interesting deal and I hope someone can clarify the situation as the AWA ran a big show in Winnipeg in January 1986. AWA @ Winnipeg, Manitoba – Arena – January 16, 1986 (6,800) AWA Women’s Title: Candi Divine d. Sherri Martel © Buddy Lane d. Matt Jewell Scott Hall d. Earthquake Ferris Mongolian Stomper & Nord the Barbarian d. The Alaskans Crusher Blackwell d. Boris Zuhkov AWA World Heavyweight Title: Stan Hansen © d. Rick Martel The Road Warriors d. Jimmy Garvin & Steve Regal NWA World Heavyweight Title: Ric Flair © battled Nick Bockwinkel to a no contest After this no one has AWA results until November 1988. WWF took over the Arena in March and ran it alone the way it seems from then on. Stampede would run shows in Winnipeg with Tony Condello but that's it. WWF @ Winnipeg, Manitoba - Arena - March 17, 1986 (6,820) Dory Funk Jr. defeated Scott McGhee Ted Arcidi defeated Alexis Smirnoff Tony Atlas defeated Jesse Ventura via disqualification Paul Orndorff defeated Bob Orton Jr. The Killer Bees defeated The Hart Foundation Nikolai Volkoff & Iron Sheik defeated Cpl. Kirschner & Danny Spivey Junkyard Dog defeated Terry Funk Thanks for the kind words and by the way it looks Graham has added quite a few results since I last went to his site months ago so I will be revisting some of these cities with more cards so be prepared.

khawk20 Posted December 10, 2010 Report Share Posted December 10, 2010 I recall reading about the AWA/WWF Winnipeg thing on Kayfabe memories some time ago. Story goes that Verne sold the Winnipeg office to Blackjack Lanza (and possibly Nick Bockwinkel), and Lanza turned around and made a deal to turn their TV space over to Vince and stopped running arena shows. Once that happened, Vince took over Winnipeg Arena and the AWA was basically out. The Sports Network in Canada, who used the Winnipeg AWA matches for their own TSN Wrestling show once weekly, ran matches from the first WWF card there on two or three of their shows, but then stopped. I heard that might have been because Vince wanted to give them generic WWF TV to use instead of first-run arena matches, but I might be wrong on that. I would need to find the discussion on KM to repeat the story more accurately, but that's the gist of it. Wally Karbo retired in that time frame as well, so whatever pieces he had in Winnipeg and who they went to probably factored into that...The AWA ran one of their shows in late 1985 as a "Wally Karbo retirement show". TSN Wrestling used Calgary for it's shows after that, though I'm not sure of the time frame (if it was immediately after the WWF left, I mean). It was always a curiousity for me too, as the AWA in Winnipeg was on a huge upswing when they stopped running there. Their November 85, December 85, and January 1986 shows had the best attendance for them in months. then, nothing. Hope that helps some. EDIT: That Winnipeg card you listed in the above post is the one TSN used matches from on the switchover. I have the one match I noted below on tape: WWF @ Winnipeg, Manitoba - Arena - March 17, 1986 (6,820) The Killer Bees defeated The Hart Foundation Attendance at this card is about equal to the last card the AWA ran in January of 1986. Afterwards, when the WWF became more sporadic in their visits, the number halved as I recall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrisZ Posted December 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2010 Yeah Winnipeg was one of the AWA's best cities and then bam it's dead before Verne had a chance to kill it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Al Posted December 12, 2010 Report Share Posted December 12, 2010 Gordy's attendance was spotty at best. He no-showed matches with Martel for the title (one in Chicago had Buddy Roberts get the shot), and hayes ended up subbing for him in several matches against Blackwell IIRC. Gordy/hayes is the only combo that would have matched up with the LOD with any credibility, and with Gordy not reliable, they didn't take the chance. "When the credible becomes impossible to acheive, do the opposite." Sort of describes Garvin/Regal winning the belts instead of Hayes/Gordy, I think. As previously noted, Garvin/Regal winning the titles in hindsight was a good call. In real time, it was horrible. Unfortunately real time is what counted and it hurt Verne bad. Plus the Freebirds didn't draw well in the AWA at all. people hated them (especially Hayes), but it almost seemed like a "hate you so much we wish you would go to another area" mentality. Very HonkyTonk Man-as-IC Champ-ish, IMO. I recall at least once in a WWE dvd that Road Warrior Animal claimed that Verne Gagne wanted the Warriors to drop the belts to the Freebirds. As Animal claims, the Roadies went into the ring and flat out told the Freebirds they weren't going along with the finish. Possibly to be taken with a grain of salt.

khawk20 Posted December 13, 2010 Report Share Posted December 13, 2010 The Fabs is another story, Verne had something with them and wouldn't pull the trigger. No, pretty sure it was the Fabs that the Roadies wouldn't lose the belts to. By the time the Birds were in the picture, the Fabs were gone when the Birds arrived. Plus why would the Roadies agree to drop the belts via super-screwjob to Garvin and Regal, and not the Birds with the same finish? Doesn't make sense.

I think wrestlers are sometimes acutely aware of dropping to teams who are possibly historical competitors. Particularly if it happens to be a big show. The Warriors might figure that a loss to the Freebirds isn't coming back. Just speculation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ditch Posted December 13, 2010 Report Share Posted December 13, 2010 Think you could put your comments in bold so they stand out a bit more? Also, why was Hogan/Bossman so big compared to other feuds for those two? Especially Bossman, who was never really a draw in any other context. The feud never struck me as especially compelling.

KrisZ Posted December 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2010 Yeah I'll do that. Hogan/Bossman stands out because they were having some of the best matches of Hogan's WWF run and it was catching on very strong doing big business almost every town they went to.

Log Posted December 14, 2010 Report Share Posted December 14, 2010 Hogan/Boss Man is to Hogan/Savage in '89 what Flair/Savage was to Hollywood Hogan in '96. I think I kinda get what you're saying here, but could you elaborate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sek69 Posted December 14, 2010 Report Share Posted December 14, 2010 I'd assume he meant that Hogan/Bossman wasn't supposed to be a huge program, it was largely meant to set up Hogan/Savage (since the Megapowers exploded in at tag match against the Twin Towers), yet somehow ended up doing killer business.
