WWF in Canada 1987

Recommended Posts

I recently got several tapes of a show called International Wrestling Challenge, which I think aired in various countries, one of which was Australia where I got the tapes from, and also possibly the UK. Basically the format of the show was that it was hosted by Mean Gene and Lord Alfred Hayes in the WWF studios, and normally included 4 completely random matches, which I guess most aired on Prime Time Wrestling also.

 

Anyway, what I want to know is if anyone can help with the location of this show, which includes these 2 matches:

 

Brad Rheingans beat Terry Gibbs (on an episode of International Challenge)

Hercules beat Billy Jack Haynes (chain match) (on Even More Unusual Matches video)

Gorilla Monsoon & Billy Red Lyons are the commentators

 

The show is from June 1987, because Gorilla talks about the recent aligning of Bobby Heenan and the Islanders (which aired on TV May 31st) in the Rheingans/Gibbs match. The arena seems quite smaller than other venues, and the ring has some red steps which are placed on the arena floor at the middle of the ring apron.

 

I want to say its from June 1 in Kitchener, ONT but I have no idea

 

Also whats the date of this match in Toronto MLG:

Cowboy Bob Orton beats Scott Casey

This is after the split of Orton and Muraco because Gorilla mentions it during commentary. I asked about this match on Gary Will's Toronto wrestling site and he said he has no Scott Casey matches listed for 1987 in Toronto. But the bout definitely took place because I have it on tape!

 

If anyone could help that would be great, thanks!
