Steve Blackman vs. Dean Malenko Two former Submission champs squared off, and Malenko came out on top, getting Blackman to tap out to the Texas Cloverleaf. Chris Hamrick vs. Chris Candido Candido still seemed distracted from his altercation with Roddy Piper, and Confederate Currency capitalized, pinning him following the Franken-Hamrick. Dragon Azul vs. Jimmy Del Ray The Dragon pulled off a convincing victory over the Gigolo with a Tornado DDT. Pacific Light Heavyweight Title Match : Art Barr © vs. David Cash Barr was able to successfully defend his title following a Frog Splash on Cash. California Title Match : Dennis Condrey © vs. Steven Regal Condrey was facing a determined effort by Regal to regain the California Title he once held, and just barely ran out to clock to get a 30 minute time limit draw.

Pacific Coast Wrestling show from the LA Sports Arena, Los Angeles, on Pacific Super Cards on ESPN / TSN, November 22nd Barry Windham vs. Booker T Despite some hard shots landed by Booker T, Windham levelled him with a Western Lariat for the win. The Thrillseekers vs. The Midnight Express A wild battle that ended up in a no contest with all four men brawling in the ring at once. Tommy Dreamer vs. Toshiaki Kawada After hitting a brutal sheer fall brainbuster, Kawada forced Dreamer to tap out to the Kawada Crab. Too Cold Scorpio vs. The Lighting Kid A hotly contested Light Heavyweight match that went to the Lightning Kid following a diving legdrop. Bam Bam Bigelow & Iron & Steel (Tony Atlas & Larry Cameron) vs. Ted Dibiase, Steve Williams & Dave Young Dibiase did everything he could to avoid getting involved in this match, but Bigelow was able to catch him in some big slams before the Beast From The East ultimately pinned Young following a Slingshot Splash. Pacific Television Title Match : Big Bully Busick © vs. Jack Victory Busick was able to hold off a considerable challenge from the Big V before defeating him with the Bully Breaker (Hangman neckbreaker).

Pacific Wrestling Showcase from the Olympic Auditorium , Los Angeles , on ESPN / TSN, November 21st The Sons Of The Beach (Cannonball Grizz & The Sandman) vs. Big Vito Lograsso & Billy Black The Sons Of The Beach have been surfing a wave of good feeling and positive vibes ever since their arrival on the West Coast. That seemed to come crashing into the shore with this match. It started innocently enough, with the duo seemingly dominating Billy Black. Once Big Vito got in the ring, however, things drastically changed. Something just sparked when the Italian Stallion was in the ring with the Sandman, and they fell into instant hate with each other. The two kept tearing at each other, no matter who was supposed to be the legal man in the ring. Even after Grizz took out Black with a Belly To Belly Suplex, they could not be kept apart. Their managers , Jim Cornette and Peaches, didn't help , shouting insults at each other, and it was up to their partners to pry the two apart. It didn't take much for these two teams to get under each other's skins. Chris Adams vs. Dale Wentworth Adams has had quite the tumultuous year, taking charge of the group he renamed the League Of Gentlemen and reemerging as one of the most dangerous competitors on the West Coast. He easily dominated Wentworth, knocking him about the ring before Superkicking him into the middle of next week. Barry Windham certainly has his work cut out for him in his match with the English Gentleman next week at San Diego Battleground. Interview : Don Coss stands in the ring Coss : Ladies and gentlemen, my next guests are one of the premiere factions in Pacific Coast Wrestling … the Citadel! The fans warmly cheer, but there is a bit of reservation for some of them. Al Snow and Jerry Lynn are smirking, but Dan Severn, Steve Blackman, Big Bully Busick and Shane Douglas have grim expressions on their faces. Severn : I am sorry, Don, I need to take things from here. (Coss obliges by handing him the microphone and stepping back) I think we all know what is coming, no sense in putting it off. Al, Jerry … some weeks ago, we had a public talk. We discussed your increasing tendency to cross the line in your matches. I had hoped that would be the end of it, but all we got for it was a week of lip service and working to rule, then you went right back to what you were doing before. The Citadel is based on high athletic standards and discipline, with no room for cutting corners. Al, you saw what happened last year, you were a part of it. You and Alex couldn't keep yourselves under control, and that got Alex sent out of the territory. Now you seem to be leading Jerry down the same path. What do you have to say for yourself? Snow : Well, Danny Boy, I don't think the situations are the same at all. I haven't heard anything from the Commish about sending us out of PCW. In fact, we haven't had any DQs blemishing our record at all. Sure, we may colour outside the lines a bit, but it is just getting us wins and back into title contention. I don't see you challenging for any titles. In fact, it's been some time since you have had a belt around your waist at all. Busick : Hold up there, buddy. (pointing to his own title belt) In case you hadn't noticed, I am still TV champ, and Shane here has a shot at the California title next week. And we got all of this by doing things the Citadel way, hard work and integrity. Snow : All of that is true, but I am talking about Beastie Boy here (Severn clouds up) It's been some time since you and, for that matter, Blackman held the …. Submission Title, was it? Do they still have that belt? You got some shots at the tag team titles, but you fell short. Our way is working , and your way isn't. Accept it. Severn : I think we have said all that can be said. I hate that this has come to this, but it seems the time has come to part ways. I wish that it could have been any other way. Snow : Well, Danny, I guess that is the way it is. But you will find out soon enough how right I truly am. Pacific Submission Title Match : Terry Gordy © vs. Shinya Hashimoto Despite Snow's dismissive comments, the Pacific Submission Title is a major and hotly contested title, held by no less than Terry "Bamm Bamm" Gordy. Tonight, the Japanese star Shinya Hashimoto put in a concerted effort to get that belt from around Gordy's waist, mercilessly targeting Bamm Bamm's compromised right arm with brutal twists and armlocks. Gordy was able to overcome this by stunning Hash with a jarring chokeslam , then locking him in the Asiatic Spike to force him to tap out. A hard fought victory, but Gordy is in rough shape going into his Pacific Tag Team Title defense next week. Roddy Piper vs. Louie Spicolli Ever since his return to the West Coast, Hot Rod has spent much of the year merrily tormenting the various members of the Playboy Club. This has caused much grief for Buddy Rose, but increasingly the other members of the Club have clearly had a belly full of Piper's antics. Chris Candido was at ringside for this match, and Spicolli did all he could to overpower the Hot Scot. But when Candido got on the ring apron in an attempt to interfere, Piper whipped Spicolli into him, forcing a collision . Rowdy Roddy capitalized on the chaos by rolling up Spicolli for the three count, and then dashed out of the ring, cackling all the way. Candido was clearly fuming after the match, and while Spicolli was trying to calm him down, the New Jersey native was swearing vengeance at Piper. Bret Hart vs. Gary Albright In one week, Bret Hart will challenge Ted Dibiase for the Pacific Heavyweight Title. Dibiase has been sending every obstacle he can to compromise the Hitman before the match, and his last obstacle was a formidable one indeed. The Animal is coming off a dominant run as one half of the Golden State Tag Team champs , and used his size and skill to try and crush Hart. Bret used his own considerable savvy to deflect as much of the damage he could, but no matter what, he couldn't get Albright down for the Sharpshooter. Albright tried to crush him with an Avalanche, but Bret dodged out of the way at the last second. Hart went up top and took Albright down with a top rope Bulldog, then followed up with a second rope elbow drop. Not taking any chances, Hart wrapped him up in a double leg rollup to get the three count. Next stop : San Diego and the Man Of Means.

Pacific Coast Wrestling show from the Selland Arena, Fresno, November 16th Steve Blackman vs. Brian Lee The Living Weapon really brought it to Lee, but when the big Bulldozer hit the Prime Time Slam on Blackman, that was that. Cannonball Grizz vs. Billy Black Grizz rolled over the Redneck Casanova, capsizing him with a top rope splash. Shinya Hashimoto vs. Makhan Singh Singh showed he was ready for his TV title shot against Big Bully Busick as he trashed Hash with the Monster Mash (Front Slam). Steven Regal vs. Dean Malenko This was mostly a technical showdown until the action spilled to the outside and the two battled to a double countout. The Thunder Dragons (Jushin Liger & Dragon Azul) vs. Art Barr & Eddie Guerrero A long and dramatic light heavyweight war where Liger was able to pin the Light Heavyweight champ Art Barr with the Running Liger Bomb. California Title Match : Dennis Condrey © vs. Pierre Carl Ouellet Ouellet , on his third shot at the title, went all out against Condrey, busting him open early. It didn't take long for "Loverboy" Dennis to return the favor with the Fighting French Canadian , and the ring took a distinct scarlet tint for the rest of the match. It was a very hard fought match, with PCO coming close to taking it on several occasions, until Ouellet was running the ropes and Jim Cornette took a swat at him from the outside with his tennis racquet . Ouellet stopped to try to grab Cornette, and Condrey snuck up behind him with a Full Nelson. Cornette stuck his loaded tennis racquet in the ring, and Condrey executed the Full Nelson Faceslam on top of it. Condrey got the three count, finally putting a stop to the challenge of PCO.

Pacific Coast Wrestling show from the Cow Palace , San Francisco, on Pacific Super Cards on ESPN / TSN, November 15th The Dreamboats (Tommy Dreamer & Glamour Boy Shane) vs. The Oregon Wrecking Crew (Gary Albright & David Young) Shane was coming in wearing a collar to protect his injured neck, and Tommy did all he could to shoulder the burden of the match. The OWC were not feeling merciful, taking every shot at Shane that they could. In the end, Tommy couldn't get it done on his own, being pinned by Albright with a Dragon Suplex. Too Cold Scorpio vs. Chris Candido Two former Light Heavyweight champs had a classic battle, where Scorpio pulled out the win with a top rope Sunset Flip. The Sandman vs. Big Vito Lograsso A down and dirty bare knuckle brawl that went to Vito by way of the Sicilian Smash (running forearm smash to the face) Bret Hart vs. Scotty The Body The Hitman overwhelmed Scotty, forcing him to tap out to the Sharpshooter. Pacific Television Title Match : Nick Busick © vs. Buddy Rose Busick has defended his TV title against a wide variety of opponents, but tonight he would face the legend of the Pacific Northwest. The Playboy brought his considerable guile and cunning to the match, and kept the Man From Powerhouse Hill on his toes throughout . Ultimately, the raw explosive power of the champ spelled the difference, crushing Rose with a brutal Spinebuster Slam for the victory. Pacific Heavyweight Title Match : Ted Dibiase © vs. Bam Bam Bigelow Dibiase has his title defense against Bret Hart looming ever closer, and may well regret putting his name on the dotted line to face Bigelow. The Atlantic City Fireball has had an incredible 1990, and was dead set on pulling off the upset to make the Pacific title his. Dibiase was on the defensive for most of the match, and had to resort to dirty tactics, calling in the OWC to pull his fat out of the fire by attacking Bigelow. They continued the assault until Bret Hart rushed out swinging a chair, at which point the Collective scrambled back to the locker room. Dibiase is clearly running scared.

Pacific Wrestling Showcase from the Oakland Alameda County Arena, Oakland, on ESPN / TSN, November 14th Jason Jett vs. Louie Spicolli While the members of the Money Train have started to flourish under the mentorship of Pierre Carl Ouellet, they have also somehow drawn the ire of Fit Finlay. PCO , David Cash and Chris Hamrick were at ringside for this match, both to support their friend as well as to watch his back against any possible ambush from the Fighting Irishman. Despite the cloud, Jett showed a lot of confidence in this match, easily dispatching Spicolli with the Cha Ching (Power Bomb). PCO and the Money Train all left as a group, but one never knows when the Belfast Bruiser might choose to strike. Lance Storm vs. Eddie Guerrero Eddie Guerrero is only 23, but has already had a considerable career in PCW, having held multiple titles and having had stellar matches. The second generation star has been on a considerable upswing of late, and would be facing another fast rising star in Lance Storm. The two had a quick paced match where the young Canadian held his own with Guerrero until Eddie caught him out of nowhere with a Tornado DDT, the followed up with a Frog Spash for the win. Eddie is definitely determined to get back to the top of PCW. Coast 2 Coast (John Tatum & Jack Victory) vs. John Rocker & Drew Christie In their first run on the west coast, Tatum and Victory were tag team champions, and since their return, they remain in the upper echelon of contenders. They showed why in this match , easily dominating their opponents and frequently tagging in and out before taking out Rocker with the Coastal Crash (California Kick into the Victory Plex). It won't be long before the duo get another shot at tag team gold. Chris Jericho vs. The Lightning Kid Little by little, the Hexagon have been proving themselves as the faction with the biggest upswing on the West Coast. Rookie sensation the Lightning Kid has been surging in the Light Heavyweight division. Facing off with one half of the Thrillseekers, and there were plenty of thrills to be found during the match. Jericho was very close to taking it when he had Kid set up for the Lionsault, but the Hexagon member got his knees up at the last second, and Jericho was left clutching his abdomen in agon. Moving snakelike across the mat, the Lightning Kid trapped Jericho in the Crossface Chicken Wing, and the young Canadian had no choice but to tap out. A big win that confirms the Lightning Kids upward trajectory. Shane Douglas vs. Bobby Eaton With Shane Douglas closing in on his rematch with California champ Dennis Condrey, Camp Cornette have been throwing all of the obstacles in his path they can in a quest to wear him down. They are at the point of going all the way to the top with the legendary "Beautiful" Bobby Eaton, one of the most consistent high end wrestlers the tag division has ever seen. Eaton threw everything he had in his considerable arsenal at Douglas, but the Pittsburgh native just kept coming. Eaton went high risk, going for the Alabama Jam, but Eaton was able to get up in time and race up the turnbuckle to intercept him. Douglas hit an incredible Belly To Belly Superplex, then covered Eaton for the one two three. Condrey had best be ready to bring it to San Diego Battleground, because Shane Douglas is coming in hot.

Pacific Coast Wrestling show from McArthur Court, Eugene, November 9th Jason Jett vs. Big Vito Lograsso PCO was in Jett's corner and Jason gave a very good accounting of himself, keeping the Italian Stallion on the back foot before Vito finally took him down with the Sicilian Smash (running forearm smash to the face). Lance Storm vs. Bobby Eaton A fast paced match that went to Eaton by way of the Alabama Jam. The Sons Of The Beach (Cannonball Grizz & The Sandman) vs. Jimmy Del Ray & Billy Black The Surfing Superstars continued their upward trajectory, taking down Black with the Beach Break (Stuff Power Bomb). Chris Jericho vs. Stan Lane Jericho evened things up with the Midnights by hitting a precision springboard dropkick for the win. Jushin Liger vs. Eddie Guerrero This was a Light Heavyweight classic that went right up close to the time limit with Liger just barely catching Guerrero in a flying victory roll to just barely get the pinfall. California Title Match : Dennis Condrey © vs. Pierre Carl Ouellet Condrey once again faced Pierre Carl Ouellet in a hard fought battle. Ouellet was going up top to put it away with the Cannonball Splash, only for Cornette to knock him off with the tennis racquet. A DQ win for PCO, but that doesn't get him the title.

Pacific Coast Wrestling show from the Portland Memorial Coliseum , Portland , on Pacific Super Cards on ESPN / TSN, November 8th Steven Blackman & Stormfront (Al Snow & Jerry Lynn) vs. Scotty The Body & The Suicide Blondes This 6 man tag match was more of a 4 man tag. Continuing the fractures in the Citadel, Snow and Lynn basically ignored Blackman through much of the match, while Scotty seemed to be afflicted by the same ennui that has afflicted a few PCW stars of late, and basically stood on the ring apron throughout. Despite that, Stormfront and the Suicide Blondes put on an entertaining match, with Snow defeating Spicolli with the Snowman Splash. Barry Windham vs. Brian Lee Gearing up for a showdown with his nemesis Chris Adams, Windham squares off with his former friend Brian Lee. The two had a real donnybrook before Windham was able to nail Lee with the Western Lariat for the victory. Iron & Steel (Tony Atlas & Larry Cameron) vs. Harlem Heat This was another knock down, drag out fight, and it came close to descending into complete chaos at several points before Atlas and Cameron took down Stevie Ray with a Spike Piledriver. Pacific Television Title Match : Big Bully Busick © vs. Gary Albright In all his time as TV champ, Busick has yet to face someone as big and intimidating as Albright. The Animal lived up to his reputation, giving the Big Bully a fair amount of bruises and landed some crushing slams and suplexes. Busick, in turn, showed what he was made of, battling back and just barely hitting his Spinebuster, just barely holding his shoulders down for the one two three. Pacific Tag Team Title Match : The Miracle Violence Connection © vs. The Dreamboats Glamour Boy showed up wearing a support collar on his neck. With him recently being hurt in his past couple of matches, the Dreamboats asked if this match could instead be a singles match and, in an unusual show of sportsmanship, the champs agreed. Williams went in the ring on behalf of the MVC, and he and Dreamer had a competitive match until Dr. Death kicked it into a higher gear and planted him with the Doctor Bomb for the win. Pacific Heavyweight Title Match : Ted Dibiase © vs. Buddy Rose Ric Flair calls himself the dirtiest player in the game, and with good reason. This match, however, featured two strong contenders for that most dubious of crowns. Rose cut every corner he could, but still had the cheers of most of the crowd (likely thinking "he may be a bastard, but at least he is our bastard"). Dibiase got just as far down deep in the gutter as the playboy, and it was a match full of stooging, falling, and dirty tactics. Dibiase seemed about to close the trap with the Million Dollar Means, but at that point, the Suicide Blondes rushed out to pull Rose's fat out of the fire. The Oregon Wrecking Crew were soon to follow, and the two sides brawled until the ref declared it a No Contest. The moment he did, Rose pulled his men from the ring and retreated to the ring. The Playboy might not have won the title, but he certainly made his presence felt in what he surely sees as his town.

Pacific Wrestling Showcase from the Portland Sports Arena, Portland , on ESPN / TSN, November 7th Chris Hamrick vs. Fit Finlay Last week, Finlay took no prisoners as he brutalized David Cash. This time out, Cash's friend and teammate Chris Hamrick was out to get a measure of revenge. Pierre Carl Ouellet and Jason Jett were there to have Hamrick's back, but Finlay kept his attention laser focused on Confederate Currency. Chris was coming off making it all the way to the finals of the Tournament Of Lions, and he showed that was no fluke as he stood his ground with the Belfast Bruiser. He had the fans thinking he might just pull of the upset, but that came crashing down when he went for a high risk move and was caught in thin air. Finlay hoisted him up in a Canadian Backbreaker then rammed him chest first into the corner turnbuckle. He then dropped Hamrick on his head with a Tombstone and got the three count. Finlay looked set to do more damage, but PCO and Jett swept in like avenging angels, ready to protect their friend. Finlay gave them an evil grin and stalked off, feeling he had made his point … for now. Rob Zakowski vs. Cliff Robinson The man who beat Hamrick in the Tournament Of Lions was one Rob Zakowski. Although arrogant and aligned with the Sinister Minister's villainous Hexagon, Zakowski has a bit of a cult following, what with his sensational moves and style. Both were on full display in this match, as Zakowski put on a dazzling display before polishing off Robinson with a leaping spin kick to the jaw. Zakowski has had quite the rookie year, and looks to continue that trajectory into the New Year. Too Cold Scorpio vs. Jimmy Del Ray Too Cold Scorpio is a big favorite with the fans and always a threat to regain the Light Heavyweight Title that he once held with such distinction. Facing one of the members of the Hollywood Heartbreakers, Scorpio used it as an opportunity to display just what he was capable of. With moves to rival those of Rob Zakowski, he easily polished off Del Ray with the Scorpio Splash. Clearly , you don't want to take Too Cold lightly, as the Gigolo found out to his chagrin. Glamour Boy Shane vs. Jack Victory After the match the Dreamboats had with Harlem Heat last week, Shane came in clearly with problems in his neck. The Big V zeroed in on that weakness and was all over him like a leopard on a lamb, pounding on the back of his neck with elbow smashes. Shane couldn't withstand that for long, and a Victory Plex on the back of his head put him down for good. He was clearly badly hurt and Tommy Dreamer had to help him to the back of the ring. Rick Martel vs. David Young Following his challenge for Ted Dibiase's Pacific Heavyweight Title, Martel has found himself at a bit of loose ends. Despite that, the fans love him as much as ever, and were solidly behind him as he faced one half of the Oregon Wrecking Crew. Young has been coming into his own of late, and was quite pugnacious as he went toe to toe with the French Canadian legend. Martel was able to defeat him with a rollup out of the corner. It certainly won't be long before Martel is back at the forefront of PCW.
