20 -- PORT PERRY STAR -- Tuesday, August 12, 1986 Sports Slam, bam, crash, bang, thud at the Scugog Arena The Scugog Arena has been the scene of a few bone-jarring body checks over the years, But last Saturday night there was a lot of crashing, thumping grunts and groans of a different kind as professional wrestling returned to Port Perry for the first time in a decade. A crowd of about 500 was on hand to see several bouts, including the Bulldog Vachon got some rough treatment at the hands of Pat head-liner which featured the Kel: ly Twins in a tag-team match against Nick DeCarlo and Bulldog Vachon. They also saw Johnny K-9 of W.W.F. fame lock horns with Troy Little Bear; a couple of lady grap- plers named Toni Starr and the Black Widow, and crowd favourite Terry Morgan who turned the tables on tough-guy Neil Carr. or Mike Kelly in the feature match, a tag-team affair. In the feature event, the Kelly Twins (Pat and Mike) who are seen in several TV commercials these days, showed little mercy in poun- ding out a victory over DeCarlo and Vachon. Dressed appropriately in - wrestling togs of a 'Kelly Green" colour, they used skill and science and a little skulduggery. One of the twins kept taking some object from his waist-band to hammer on the head of DeCarlo who rolled around the ring in apparent great pain. The youngsters in the crowd lov-- ed it, hooting and cheering for their favourites while sending jeers and cat-calls in the direction of the "villains" of the evening. Using a series of flying drops and slams, the Kelly Twins put the pin . on Vachon to end the fight. In the preliminary, Johnny K-9 lived up to his name with an angry display against Troy Little Bear who made his ring entrance in full Indian bonnet which concealed his Mohawk hair-cut. Many in the crowd chanted 'John-nee, John- nee' and he rose to the occasion to subdue the Bear with some kind of flying back drop. In other matches, the Mandingo Warrior dressed in black leather with studs on his forearms beat up on the Long Rider, while Toni Starr in pink tights easily whipped her op- ponent, the masked Black Widow. The card opened with a match between a guy named Big Mac and Lil Abner, the latter looked the part as he wrestled in blue jeans. They didn't help much as the sly Big Mac . tossed something in his face (a white powder that smelled like ~ Johnson-Johnson stuff). With all the bouncing and the thumping going on, the platform ring set up in the middle of the arena took quite a beating as well. By the time the Kelly Twins started their match, the sounds of breaking lumber could be heard every time Johnny K-9 prepares to send Little Beaver Johnny won the fight, much to the delight of the into orbit before slamming him to the mat. fans. somebody was slammed to the floor. But it held up, almost. Many of the people in the audience seemed to be youngsters in the eight to 15 years age group, and they ap- peared to be having a great time. Many of the wrestlers took the time to sign autographs and even chat with the young fans. Ring announcer Angie also prov- ed to be something of a hit with the Pro wrestling crashing to town young crowd, dressed in tight pink slacks and a shiney gold top. She got more whistles and cheers than many of the wrestlers. The wrestling card was staged by DC Productions of Hamilton and billed as "'exhibitions of science and strength." Ringside tickets went for $8, kids and seniors paid $5 and general admission was $6. Help me I'm falling Somebody is going to have an aching back as one of the Kelly boys prepares to slam dunk Bulldog Vachon. Ouch.
