The Colt Cabana Tour = Most Amazing Weekend in Quebec Wrestling Ever?
The two things are not necessarily related, but the newly crowned NWA World Heavyweight Champion, “Boom-Boom” Colt Cabana is about to make a mini-tour of Canada, stopping in Ottawa and Montreal and his arrival coincides with the most jam-packed wrestling weekend in theses parts that I can remember.
To start with: on Friday, we have the International Wrestling Syndicate charity show “For James” as the IWS comes out of retirement for one special night to raise money for our friend James Bryant and his family to help with his fight against leukemia.

On Saturday, in Ottawa, Capital City Championship Combat Wrestling presents Level Up 2011 featuring NWA World Heavyweight Wrestling Champion Colt Cabana.
The best thing for local wrestling promoters is that they had no idea when they booked Colt Cabana that he was about to become the champion and defender of wrestling’s oldest continuously defended title belt. It’s lightning in a bottle for promoters and an amazing opportunity for the wrestlers who get to face him in the ring.
For those attending, here is what you will see:

On Sunday afternoon, Colt is making an appearance for a promotion less well-known outside Quebec, CRW. Inside Quebec, it is best known for being essentially Sylvan Grenier’s home promotion. Grenier used to promote a fed called T.O.W. but that fed has been defunct for several months. T.O.W.’s strategy was built around holding a few shows per year, with each one held in an arena with special guest stars.
CRW’s much smarter strategy is to hold more frequent smaller shows. They took good promotional advantage from the T.O.W. shows when they were being held. It sometimes seemed like the T.O.W. ownership were either losing money or barely breaking even just to advertise CRW’s shows.
Here is what they are presenting:
CRW
Colt Cabana Live

Centre CRW 4372 Boul. Des Grandes Prairies, Montreal, Quebec, Canada

The Number One Contender’s Match But Only If Dru Onyx Wins Match:
Dru Onyx vs. Sylvain Grenier
The Pat Skillz Has a Death Wish Match:
Pat Skillz vs. “Mr. Wrestling” Kevin Steen
The Montreal Crowds Like to Yell OLE! Match:
Thomas “The Pipes” Dubois vs. El Generico
CRW Quebec Championship Match:
