I'm guessing this was a Killer Kowalski school show due to the early presence of Perry Saturn and Terra (HHH) Ryzing.
I love that they couldn't call Rougeau the Mountie, so they went with the next best thing...Canadian Law & Order.
That is apparently not the same Flex Armstrong that was briefly on one of the Tough Enough shows, as that guy didn't start until 2009. No clue who Richie Rich and the Detroit Wreckers are, but they all apparently did some job work for WWE at some point.

Good find and it was a show that drew pretty well for the area. Even today Springfield, VT has less than 10,000 people total in it. Probably less in 1993.

Richie Rich was always one of my favorite jobbers on account of his highly polished dome.

I wanna say that there is video footage of this card out there because I swear I've seen video of the HHH match.

Why does the name Vince Apollo stand out? Was he a WWF jobber?

Things like this make the old observers so fascinating to read

I'm guessing this was a Killer Kowalski school show due to the early presence of Perry Saturn and Terra (HHH) Ryzing. Oh gosh it has to be. When I saw HHH and 1993 I said "was it in New England?" Heh, I started looking up these other folks on Google too. The current guy wrestling as Flex Armstrong in indies would've been 11 when this event happened, so I guess it's not him.  This Flex Armstrong - Peter Sobieski, Jr. - died in 2014.  And turns out he and Richie Rich (local wrestler, WWF jobber whenever they were in New England) wrestled the Rock N Roll Express in what appears to be their only WWF TV match for that fall 1993 SMW angle with the Bodies. An Oct 1993 Raw taped in Worcester MA. |

Wikipedia says Vince Apollo (WCCW) and Phil Apollo (WWF) are one & the same. Totally forgot he was the guy who took over being Doink in late 1993. |

Wikipedia says Vince Apollo (WCCW) and Phil Apollo (WWF) are one & the same. . Ray Licameli (also known as Ray Apollo) was WWF's Doink after Borne left. Phil Pantos (aka Vince Apollo/Phil Apollo) is a completely separate guy who has long been confused as Ray because of the Apollo surname. So yes, Vince Apollo and Phil Apollo are the same guy, but neither were Ray Apollo or Doink. |

Yep...he was half of the tag team champions at a promotion that is based out of my city. He hasn't been around in a little while, and I actually kind of miss seeing him in action. |
