Can't wait to see who prevails in Mountain Mayhem.

Pacific Coast Wrestling Deseret Storm from the Salt Palace, Salt Lake City Squadron Battle : Sgt. Slaughter, The Force Of July (The Patriot & The Eagle), & Fastball (Bobby Horne & Robert Thompson vs. The Midnight Express & The FBI Pacific Coast Wrestling rolls into the Crossroads Of The West for their annual Deseret Storm show, and the SLC fans came out in droves to watch the Squadron Battle showcase. The first Battle featured the brutal ongoing feud between Sgt. Slaughter and Dennis Condrey. The double tough DI brought in his allies, the Force Of July, along with Fastball , while Condrey was backed by the rest of Camp Cornette. It was Cornette's men who struck first, with the rookie of the team, Little Guido, forcing Horne to tap out to the Sicilian Necktie (guillotine choke). This gave a considerable boost to the pugnacious Paisano, but this wound up costing him. He was determined to take down Thompson, but stayed in the ring too long and wound up being caught by Thompson with a diving elbow smash that took him out of the match. That said, at the end of it, Thompson was so worn down that he was easy prey for the LBK (Legitimate Businessman's Kick) from Vito. Vito was on fire, battering all of the remaining members of the opposition, but ultimately fell victim to the Slaughter Cannon. It was now down to the core members of both teams, and the Midnights showed their trademark coordination as they eliminated the Eagle with the Veg-O-Matic. The Patriot held out for as long as he could, but an inverted DDT from Condrey put him down for good. It was all down to Sgt. Slaughter who hit hard and often, but the numbers started to catch up to him. The action spilled to the outside , and Cornette tried to ambush him with the loaded tennis racquet, but Slaughter caught him and grabbed him by the throat. Before he could unleash his fury on the Louisville Lip, Condrey caught him from behind and hit the Full Nelson Facebuster. Condrey then dove back into the ring as Sarge was counted out, giving the match to the MX. Final Survivors : Dennis Condrey, Bobby Eaton & Stan Lane Squadron Battle : Steven Regal, Tommy Dreamer, Big Bully Busick, Steve Blackman, Shane Douglas, Jushin Liger & Ultimo Dragon vs. The Hexagon (Rob Van Dam, The Lightning Kid, Eddie Guerrero, Sabu, Alex Wright, Dean Malenko, & The Tazmaniac) The next match had the Sinister Minister rallying his Hexagon, along with his "attack dog" the Tasmaniac. The supposed primitive from the rainforest of Tasmania showed his worth as he knocked Blackman loopy with a takeover suplex, then forced him to tap out to the Tazmission. Unfortunately for the Hexagon, he still proved uncontrollable , ignoring any attempt to get him to release the hold until Dan Severn charged into the ring to pry him off. The two went at it for a bit, and the end result was that the Tazmaniac was disqualified and eliminated from the match. After the considerable effort it took from security to get the Tazmaniac away from the ring, the Lightning Kid went on a bit of a tear, eliminating Ultimo Dragon with the Lightning Strike (Tombstone) and Jushin Liger with a moonsault body press, before ultimately getting crushed by the Spinebuster Slam of Big Bully Busick. Tommy Dreamer was vicious in his attack on Alex Wright, but after he put down Das Wunderkind with a piledriver, he was so spent that he was easy prey for Brainbuster of Dean Malenko. Regal was coming in with his shoulder bandaged from his defeat by Gary Albright. This presented all too tempting a target for Dean Malenko, who badly stretched Regal's arm before forcing him to submit to the Jujigatame (cross armbreaker). Big Bully Busick stood tall and kept knocking the members of the Hexagon around the ring. But he ultimately fell prey to a Tornado DDT from Eddie Guerrero, who capitalized with a Frog Splash. One … two … THREE! The fans were in shock as the seemingly unstoppable TV champ was just pinned by the second generation star. This left Shane Douglas on his own against four of the Hexagon. You could tell by the look on his face that Douglas was determined to beat the odds. First one down was Sabu, who fell victim to the belly to belly suplex. Dean Malenko did a lot of damage, but Douglas was able to catch him in a Fisherman's Brainbuster the fans dubbed the Pittsburgh Plunge. It looked like the Pittsburgh might just be able to pull it off. But he was blindsided by a vicious spin kick from Rob Van Dam. RBD followed up with a split legged moonsault to put an end to the dreams of the last man standing of the Citadel. The Hexagon ultimately prevailed. Final Survivors : Rob Van Dam & Eddie Guerrero Squadron Battle : Pierre Carl Ouellet & The Money Train (Chris Hamrick, David Cash & Jason Jett) vs. Fit Finlay & The Serial Thrillaz (Michael Modest, Shane Helms & Mike Maverick) There may be bigger stars on the card, but this is perhaps the most hotly anticipated match of the night. Finlay, PCO and their respective teams of promising young up and comers have had some tremendous battles all year before the ceasefire was declared. The duo of Maverick and Helms have been showing considerable progress as a team, and worked together to take down Jett with the Super Splash (Maverick climbs up to the second turnbuckle, Helms stands on Maverick's shoulders to hit a diving splash). The Money Train battled back, with Cash pinning Helms following the Bankruptcy and Hamrick eliminating Maverick with the FrankenHamrick. The Money Train had the advantage, but not for long, as Finlay dropped Cash on his head with a Tombstone. It was now PCO and Hamrick against Finlay and Modest, and it played out for the next while as a straightforward tag match, with both sides tagging in and out and executing combination and double team moves on each other. Modest was finally able to end the stalemate by taking out Hamrick with a reality check. Modest , the singles standout of the rookie class, seemed determined to be the one to eliminate Ouellet, and he came close on a few occasions. But PCO caught him off the ropes with a powerslam, then followed up with a Cannonball to send Modest out of the match. It was now one on one, the two mentors in final battle. Finlay clearly had the advantage in experience, as well as keenly honed in ring instincts. Ouellet, though , had a fiery intensity that could not be denied. The two battled it out, with both men getting busted open at different points, and as the match wore on, they were both wearing the proverbial crimson mask. Both teams stayed at ringside to observe, and Finlay seemed on the verge of taking it when he set up Ouellet for a Tombstone. But PCO blocked it and turned it around into a Package Piledriver, and that proved to be enough to get the final pinfall. After the match, PCO helped up Finlay and embraced him. Both sides shook the hands of each other in a show of respect, and the fans wildly cheered on the great match they had just watched. Final Survivor : Pierre Carl Ouellet Squadron Battle : Roddy Piper, Chris Candido & The Sons Of The Beach (The Sandman & Cannonball Grizz) vs. Buddy Rose, Sean Morley, Scotty The Body & Stevie Richards When Chris Candido walked away from the Playboy Club, many thought he was signing his death warrant, particularly when the Club replaced him with the more ruthless Sean Morley. But Candido found a ready friend and mentor in Roddy Piper, and the Hot Scot eagerly joined Chris in his war with his former allies. Things didn't start out well for the unlikely duo, as the SoBs, who had gotten sick of the shenanigans of Scotty and Stevie, used the Kendo stick provided by Peaches and got themselves both disqualified. It seemed like Chris and Roddy would not be able to overcome the numbers. But Roddy was able to block the Hot Shot (DDT) from Scotty and counter into a small package. Then Chris dodged the Stevie Kick, following up with a side suplex , evening things up. The Playboy Club were not fazed, focusing on beating down Candido. Chris struggled to make the tag , but Rose and Morley kept him trapped in their corner. It seemed like Candido's time was up as Morley gave the signal for the Full Nelson. But Candido was playing possum, and was able to wriggle loose of Morley's grasp before he could lock the hold in. He then caught the muscular rookie in a rollup and got the three count. Chris immediately dove to his corner and tagged in Roddy Piper. Rose clearly was panicking, and Piper and Candido took turns pinballing the Playboy around the ring. After a while, Rose dove out of the ring, gathered Tina Ferrari and headed to the locker room, preferring to take the countout than face the wrath of his opponents. This left Chris Candido and Roddy Piper victorious, soaking up the cheers of the fans. Final Survivors : Roddy Piper & Chris Candido Squadron Battle : Barry Windham, The Smoking Gunns, Randy Savage & The Thrillseekers vs. Rick Martel, The Dudley Boys, Brian Lee, & The Oregon Wrecking Crew (Gary Albright & David Young) One of the most shocking occurrences in PCW in 1991 has been Rick Martel's change to the dark side. Turning his back on Barry Windham and the fans, the French Canadian legend finds himself allying with the unsavory Dudley Boys, as well as teaming with the dastardly Terror Collective. It was a pretty impressive team, but the team facing them was no less impressive. The Brigade brought in their friends, The Smoking Gunns and the superstar of superstars, the Macho Man Randy Savage. Both Gunns and the Dudleys were both dead set on proving themselves, and after an extended duel, the Gunns drew first blood, taking down D-Von with the sidewinder. Bubba Ray was able to fight back and pin Bart with a Power Bomb, and Albright took out Billy in dominant fashion with a Dragon Suplex followed by a Dragon Sleeper . Albright proved to be something of the MVP for his side, tossing the opposition around and proving be difficult for the Brigade to make a dent in him. The Thrillseekers were able to eliminate Bubba Ray with a double flying dropkick, but their opponents just escalated their attack. It was Savage who proved the key to taking out Albright, with the Macho One unleashing his full violence and finally pinning him with a top rope flying elbow. He tried to keep it going when he knocked Brian Lee out of the ring and came off the top, attempting a double axehandle. Lee intercepted it coming down with a mighty uppercut, then hit the Prime Time Slam on the floor. Savage was unable to make it back into the ring, and was thus eliminated. The Brigade had lost one of their toughest allies, but were determined to keep up the fight. It took quite a bit, but Storm was able to take down Young with a dropkick, which allowed Jericho to hit the Lionsault and get the pinfall. Lee put up an incredible fight, but was finally levelled by a Western Lariat from his former friend, Barry Windham. Rick Martel was the last holdout, but he was determined to do as much damage as he could. He certainly stretched Windham until he set him up for a running cross body press. Windham was able to roll through the move , coming out on top to get the one two three. Martel complained that it was a fast count, but the decision stood, and the Brigade were triumphant. Final Survivors : Barry Windham, Lance Storm & Chris Jericho Squadron Battle : Bret Hart, Bam Bam Bigelow, Steve Williams, & Iron & Steel (Tony Atlas & Larry Cameron) vs. Toshiaki Kawada, Chris Adams, Mike Awesome & The Headbangers The night closes out with a high profile battle between the Pacific Heavyweight Champion and the rest of the League Of Gentlemen against several top contenders to the title. The Headbangers were keen to go after Iron & Steel every chance they got. Despite their tenacity, the veteran team took down Thrasher with a Spike Piledriver. Not long after, Steve Williams eliminated Mosh with the Oklahoma Stampede, putting an end to the evening for the Headbangers. The League came roaring back, with Awesome folding up Cameron with the Awesome Bomb. Kawada soon showed why he was champ, eviscerating Atlas with kicks before putting him down with a Brainbuster. Williams has emerged as possibly the number one contender for the title, so he and Kawada squared off throughout the match. This culminated in Dr. Death hitting the champ like a torpedo with a running tackle, sending them both tumbling out of the ring . The two kept slugging it out until they were both counted out. The remaining two members of the league kept their focus on Bret Hart, doing everything they could to keep him from tagging out (much like the Playboy Club tried in the match earlier in the evening). It seemed like it was all over for the Hitman as Awesome had him set up for a Power Bomb. In a last second desperation move, Bret was able to flip over Awesome and roll him up in a modified Sunset Flip, just barely holding his shoulders down for the three count. The moment Bret got up, Adams blasted him with a Superkick to the back of the head. The English Gentleman went for the cover, but it was broken up by a falling headbutt from Bigelow. The Beast From The East then went wild on Adams, hitting a power slam and a slingshot splash, but the ref wouldn't go for the count, reminding him that he was not the legal man in the ring. It was then a race between Adams and Hart as to who could get back to their feet. Adams was up first, but Hart replied with the first punch. Both men exchanged rubber legged shots until Hart took down Adams with a clothesline. Adams ducked a second attempt at a clothesline, but that just allowed Hart to make it to his corner and tag in Bigelow. The New Jersey Fireball bowled over Adams with a tackle, then went up top to hit the Nuclear Splash. After that, the three count was academic. Bigelow then helped Hart to his feet and embraced him, and the fans cheered as the two friends stood victorious. Final Survivors : Bret Hart & Bam Bam Bigelow

Murdoch and Ivan is such an awesome old school tag team, like the Superpowers in reverse

Pacific Coast Wrestling show from the Selland Arena, Fresno, July 19th The Thrillseekers vs. The Serial Thrillaz (Shane Helms & Mike Maverick) A fast paced tag match where the Thrillseekers came out on top when Storm forced Helms to tap out to the Canadian Maple Leaf. Jason Jett vs. The Tazmaniac The Tazmaniac, whoever me might be, continued his rampage, forcing Jett to tap out to the Tazmission. Jushin Liger vs. Jerry Lynn Lynn managed to take the former champ to a 15 minute time limit draw. Steve Blackman vs. Alex Wright Tazmaniac didn't make an appearance, so Blackman unleashed his frustration on another of the Sinister Minister's men, nearly kicking Wright's head off with the running bicycle kick. Golden State Tag Team Title Match : The Force Of July (The Patriot & The Eagle) © vs. Scotty The Body & Stevie Richards The Playboy Club bedeviled the champs with a boatload of trickery, but the FoJ came back and flattened Stevie with a double flying shoulder block to successfully defend their titles. California Title Match : Rob Van Dam © vs. Michael Modest Modest came close to winning the title on a number of occasions, but RVD was able to escape and, at the end of a long match, RVD caught Modest coming off the ropes with a wheel kick to score the one two three.

Pacific Coast Wrestling show from the Cow Palace , San Francisco, on Pacific Super Cards on ESPN / TSN, July 18th , 1991 Bam Bam Bigelow & Iron & Steel (Tony Atlas & Larry Cameron) vs. Mike Awesome & The Headbangers In a battle that shook the ring with sheer power, Bigelow pinned Mosh with the slingshot splash. Shane Douglas vs. Sabu The Bombay Madman threw a hell of a lot of crazy at the Pittsburgh native, but Douglas stayed resolute and caught him coming off the ropes with a powerslam for the win. Chris Candido vs. Buddy Rose Shenanigans from the outside from both Roddy Piper and Sean Morley led to a double DQ finish. The Sons Of The Beach (Cannonball Grizz & The Sandman) vs. The FBI An absolute war between the two teams that ended when the Sandman hit a flying legdrop on Vito, scoring the victory for the Surfing Superstars. Pacific Submission Title Match : Steven Regal © vs. Gary Albright This match was going fairly evenly until Albright overpowered Regal and hit a series of brutal suplexes, including a Dragon Suplex that seemed to drop Regal right on his head. Albright then locked a Full Nelson on a dazed Regal. With the English Lion unable to respond, the ref declared the match to Albright as the new Submission champ, much to the shock of the fans. Pacific Heavyweight Title Match : Toshiaki Kawada © vs. Steve Williams This match went close to going the distance until Williams hit a shoulder block on Kawada then sent them both tumbling out of the ring. They kept fighting, leading to a double countout.

Pacific Wrestling Showcase from the Oakland Alameda County Arena, Oakland, on ESPN / TSN, July 17th, 1991 The Eagle vs. Dennis Condrey With the feud raging between Sgt. Slaughter and Dennis Condrey, Slaughter's allies the Force Of July find themselves caught in the crossfire. One half of the Golden State Tag Champs , the Eagle put in a credible effort against "Loverboy" Dennis, before the veteran got past his defenses and hit the Full Nelson Facebuster for the win. Just goes to show that Condrey is always a dangerous competitor. Fastball (Bobby Horne & Robert Thompson) vs. The Dudley Boyz The Dudleys may be raw, but they are certainly rough and ready . The boys from Dudleyville roughed up Trisa Hayes' fun time duo. Horne and Thompson put up a good fight, but found themselves overwhelmed by D-Von and Bubba Ray, with Horne being pinned by D-Von following a swinging neckbreaker. The Dudleys are certainly making a big impact and a short amount of time. Interview : Don Coss stands in the ring Don Coss : Ladies and gentlemen, my next guests are perhaps the most famous couple in all of wrestling … "The Macho Man" Randy Savage and Miss Elizabeth! The crowd cheers loudly as the famous duo make their way to the ring. Elizabeth smiles demurely while Savage points to the fans. Coss : Macho Man, the fans are certainly glad to see you and Miss Elizabeth together again. Is there any reason she wasn't with you when you first arrived in PCW? Savage : Don't you worry your little head about it, Don! My good friend Steve Williams needed my help against the Terror Collective right away, and right away was when I came! Miss Elizabeth was taking care of some business affairs for me, but she knows her place is by the Macho Man's side, yeah! Coss : Speaking of the Terror Collective, you did come in to help Steve Williams against Ted Dibiase, but now Dibiase is gone from PCW, and you are still continuing the fight against new Collective leader Brian Lee. Savage : Not a word of a lie, Don. The so called Bulldozer thinks he can just run over everyone. Well, if there is anything I can't stand it's a bully. I am going to grind the gears of the Bulldozer until he either learns his lesson or takes his business elsewhere. Oh , yeah! Tommy Dreamer vs. Dale Wentworth Tommy Dreamer has found himself having to devote much of his attention to defending his manager, Trisa Hayes, from the leering attention of Alex Wright. Needing a break, he was able to direct his full attention to defeating Wentworth, putting the rookie out with the Dream Weaver. A dominant victory, but he knows that, sooner or later, Das Wunderkind will cross his path again. Pierre Carl Ouellet vs. Jack Victory The Fighting French Canadian had all of the Money Train at ringside, watching as he took on one half of Coast 2 Coast. John Tatum was also at ringside for his partner, but despite Tatum's protests, they simply observed with no interference. PCO was in full confidence in this match, shutting down any of Victory's attempts at dirty tricks and swiftly dispatched him with a package piledriver. Before returning to the locker room, Ouellet gathered the Money Train around him and said something to them quietly. They all nodded before leaving the ringside area. Interview : Don Coss stands in the ring Coss : Ladies and gentlemen, my next guests are finding themselves at something of a crossroads … the Citadel! The crowd cheers as Dan Severn, Steve Blackman, Big Bully Busick and Shane Douglas head out to the ring. Blackman is clearly quite agitated, but Severn seemed more pensive than anything else. Coss : Steve Blackman, you certainly have been having your fair share of trouble with the Tazmaniac these days. Blackman : Damned right I am, Don! (The crowd gasps at his harsh language) I'm sorry for the outburst, but this is driving me crazy. The Sinister Minister brings in this caveman to fight in PCW, and he is just brutalizing everyone. I'm going to stop him if it is the last thing I do. He can't just throw some savage primitive … Severn : (quietly) No. Blackman : What ? What are you saying, Dan? Severn : No. No …. You're wrong. He's not some savage. He's not a cave man . He's not a savage or a primitive, he isn't from the Tasmanian rainforest any more than I am. Have you seen his moves? How crisp and well executed they are? How unbreakable the so called Tazmission is? This is a pro, someone well trained. I know I've seen him somewhere, I just need to figure out where. The Sinister Minister talked about his "conditioning" and "methods" . I think he brainwashed this guy, whoever he is, into being his pet monster. I'm going to figure it out … and I am going to save him. Fit Finlay vs. Vince Sly Much like his rival Pierre Carl Ouellet, Fit Finlay had his own pupils, the Serial Thrillaz, at ringside to observe the match. Midway through the match, Ouellet and the Money Train came down to ringside, and while the Thrillaz went on high alert, they did not interfere. After Finlay forced Sly to submit to the Celtic Knot, the Thrillaz joined him in the ring and PCO and the Money Trained lined up opposite them. For a moment, there was tension, but then PCO held up a single finger, as if to say "One week" and nodded. Fit Finlay nodded back, and the two sides parted without incident, heading towards their meeting with each other … and destiny. Pacific Television Title Match : Big Bully Busick © vs. David Young Throughout his epic TV title reign, Busick has seen off many a challenger with his spinebuster slam. David Young has been slowly establishing his own reputation for using the spinebuster slam. There was some anticipation as to whose version of the move would prove supreme. It didn't really come up in this match, as Young shut down Busick's attempt with an uppercut, while the champ blocked Young with a forearm smash to the face. Busick decided to take an alternative path, hitting the Bully Breaker (hangman neckbreaker) to get the win. For now, who is the true master of the Spinebuster Slam will remain a mystery.

Calling double juice on the Slater vs. Garvin match. Triple ... ref gets busted open too.

Pacific Coast Wrestling show from McArthur Court, Eugene, July 12th, 1991 Ultimo Dragon vs. Alex Wright Wright was highly competitive, but Dragon came out on top with an Asai Moonsault . The Sons Of The Beach (Cannonball Grizz & The Sandman) vs. Coast 2 Coast (Jack Victory & John Tatum) The SoBs pulled off a major upset by defeating the former champs, taking down Tatum with the Wipeout (while Grizz holds the opponent over his knee, Sandman hits a top rope legdrop). The Thrillseekers vs. The Oregon Wrecking Crew (Gary Albright & David Young) The Thrillseekers won by countout after Storm hit a plancha on Young and was able to make it back into the ring just ahead of him. Tommy Dreamer vs. Dean Malenko The technical skill of Malenko overcame the intensity of Dreamer by way of a brainbuster. Pacific Submission Title Match : Steven Regal © vs. Little Guido Little Guido was as scrappy as always , but despite his best efforts to trap Regal in the Sicilian Necktie (guillotine choke), the champ forced him to tap out to the Regal Stretch. Pacific Light Heavyweight Title Match : The Lightning Kid © vs. Chris Hamrick Hamrick gave the Kid quite a number of scares in this match that went long, but the champion ultimately prevailed by way of a Moonsault Body Press.

Pacific Coast Wrestling show from the Portland Memorial Coliseum , Portland , on Pacific Super Cards on ESPN / TSN, July 11th , 1991 Pierre Carle Ouellet vs. Big Vito Two of the toughest men in PCW threw down, with PCO ultimately putting Vito away with the Cannonball. Bobby Horne vs. Fit Finlay PCO's rival, Fit Finlay, was able to overcome an enthusiastic effort from Horne, pinning him following the Rolling Hills. Randy Savage vs. Brian Lee With Miss Elizabeth in his corner, Savage went all out against Lee, winning by countout after hitting a top rope double axehandle on the outside . Roddy Piper & Chris Candido vs. Buddy Rose & Sean Morley As could be expected, this was a crazy match, with Rose sneaking in a low blow from behind on Candido which set him up for a Fisherman Suplex from Morley, giving the win to the Playboy Club. Sgt. Slaughter & The Force Of July vs. The Midnight Express Another fierce match between the two sides, with Sarge taking down Eaton with the Slaughter Cannon. Bret Hart & Steve Williams vs. Toshiaki Kawada & Chris Adams The evening ended with another epic match, with Bret nearly getting Kawada in the Sharpshooter but being hit by a Superkick from Adams, which allowed Kawada to score the pinfall.

Pacific Wrestling Showcase from the Portland Sports Arena, Portland , on ESPN / TSN, July 10th , 1991 Larry Cameron vs. Mosh A bit of an unexpected feud has sprung up between former champs Iron & Steel and the newly arrived Headbangers. Tony Atlas and Larry Cameron are looking to reestablish themselves after losing the titles and didn't seem to be taking the newly arrived duo too seriously. Mosh and Thrasher are determined not to be ignored or overlooked, and have increasingly intense matches with I&S. Well, they certainly have their attention now, and both sides came out ready to fight in this singles match. Both men had their partners in their respective corners, and Thrasher frequently interfered in the match, to the consternation of Tony Atlas. Cameron took it for a while, but eventually reached his limit and exploded out of the blocks with a series of tackles. He flattened Mosh with a leaping clothesline and scored the pinfall, but the Headbangers wanted to keep going after the match. Cameron and Atlas were willing to oblige, but the ref cooled them down that the sides parted without further incident. David Cash & Jason Jett vs. John Rocker & Drew Christie Coming up on Deseret Storm, one of the matches most anticipated is the final showdown between the Money Train and the Serial Thrillaz. With the two sides being kept separate in the time leading up to the Squadron Battle match, both groups of young up and comers have done all they can to develop and hone their skills to be at peak readiness for the big bout. This match showed just how far the Money Train duo had come, with Cash and Jett fluidly working together and tagging in and out as they easily dominated the opposition, with Jett taking down Rocker with the Crash Landing. The Money Train are looking in great shape going forward to Deseret Storm. The Smoking Gunns vs. The Dudley Boyz It didn't take long for true hatred to flower between the kin and the cowboys. D-Von and Bubba Ray clearly resent the Gunns for interfering with their attacks on Barry Windham, while Billy and Bart take umbrage at the constant attacks on their friend in the first place. The Gunns tried to keep this match within the boundaries of the rules, but that is just not the Dudleys' style, and eventually the match descended into pure chaos, with the ref declaring a No Contest. The two teams will get another crack at each other at Deseret Storm. Interview : Don Coss stands in the Crow's Nest Coss : Ladies and gentlemen, my next guest is certainly one of the more …. Errr, unique individuals in PCW … the Sinister Minister! The crowd boos loudly as the fez attired manager skulks to ringside. He is accompanied by the Tazmaniac, who snorts and stares bug eyed at the fans, but, oddly enough, not by any other members of the Hexagon. Coss : Sinister Minister, I couldn't help but notice you were not accompanied by any other members of the Hexagon. Trouble in the ranks? SM : Blasphemy! I may team the Tazmaniac with the Hexagon, but this animal is outside my elite ranks. He is my attack dog, a savage beast I unleash on those who vex me! Coss : So where was it that you found this … individual? SM : In my journeys abroad, I found him living in the rainforests of Tasmania, living as a primitive. I took him in and, thanks to my "conditioning", I turned him into the wrestling machine that he is. My methods are far more effective than those of the so called Citadel. I don't know why Blackman and Severn have chosen to meddle in my affairs, but the Tazmaniac will make the bitterly regret their impertinence ! Robert Thompson vs. Eddie Guerrero Eddie Guerrero's streak of hot matches brings him face to face with one half of Fastball. Thompson showed considerable promise in this match, holding his own with the second generation superstar for much of it. Guerrero kept his momentum going when he was able to hit a Tornado DDT to get the three count. Eddie just can't seem to be stopped. Dennis Condrey vs. Cliff Robinson "Loverboy" Dennis may no longer be California Champion, but he is still a feared competitor in the PCW ranks. His heated feud with Sgt. Slaughter certainly shows he has not gotten any less determined, and he seemed out to make an example of Robinson. He punished the rookie before putting him away with an inverted DDT. Impressive, although doubtful that Sgt. Slaughter will be as easily defeated. Shane Douglas & Steve Blackman vs. Rob Van Dam & The Tazmaniac True to his word, the SinMin seemed to be keeping the Tazmaniac separate from this match, mostly keeping him to attacking Blackman without actually tagging in. Dan Severn kept staring at Tazmaniac throughout the match, but Blackman was always up to engage with the wild man. The two ended up brawling at ringside while Douglas and RVD got things done in the ring. The California champ seemed to think this gave him the advantage, but Douglas was able to catch him with the Belly To Belly Suplex and get a shocking pinfall. Despite the craziness that the Tazmaniac brought to the match, the former California champion managed to score a pinfall on the man who defeated him for the title, which would have to put Douglas in line for a title shot.

Been said by others, but I love how this game makes me really anticipate Hulk Hogan vs. Gerry Morrow.

Yes! Bullet Bob rules the roost in SMW! It just seems right.

It's that time of year where Pacific Coast Wrestling returns to Salt Lake City , Utah, for Deseret Storm. As is tradition, PCW brings to the Crossroads Of The West the always exciting Squadron Battles, where teams face off in elimination to see who will be the ultimate surv-, err, leftover!

Pacific Coast Wrestling show from the Kelowna Memorial Arena, Kelowna, July 5th, 1991 Ultimo Dragon vs. Jerry Lynn Lynn was able to pull off a major upset by pinning the former Light Heavyweight champ with La Magistral. The Smoking Gunns vs. Coast 2 Coast Two upsets in a row, with the relatively fresh faced Gunns scoring a win over veteran villains Coast 2 Coast by taking down Jack Victory with the Sidewinder. Shane Douglas vs. Shane Helms This battle of the Shanes wound up being a bit of a thrill ride, with Helms showing off some impress high speed moves before the more experienced Douglas prevailed by way of the Belly To Belly Suplex. Chris Jericho vs. Gary Albright Jericho did his best to work a cat and mouse match with the Animal, but Albright crushed him in the corner with an Avalanche , then hit a running splash for the win. Golden State Tag Team Title Match : The Force Of July (The Patriot & The Eagle) © vs. The FBI The Pugnacious Paisanos proved that Jim Cornette's faith in them was well deserved, coming close on a number of occasions of taking the belts before the masked favorites too Guido down with a double flying shoulder block. California Title Match : Rob Van Dam © vs. Chris Candido The resurgent Candido took RVD to the limit, going to a 20 minute time limit draw with the champ.

Pacific Coast Wrestling show from the Pacific Coliseum, Vancouver on Pacific Super Cards on ESPN / TSN , July 4th, 1991 Iron & Steel (Tony Atlas & Larry Cameron) vs. The Headbangers The Headbangers continued to be quite aggressive, which only brought out more of the ire in the former champs, who put down Mosh with the Spike Piledriver. Pierre Carl Ouellet vs. Stevie Richards Richards managed to annoy the Fighting French Canadian, which led PCO to keep hitting him even harder. Ouellet was going up top for a Cannonball, but Scotty The Body shoved him off the top turnbuckle to the mat, leading to a DQ. The two continued to double team Ouellet post match until David Cash and Jason Jett ran out to help their mentor. Even then, Scotty managed to hit the Body Shot (DDT) on Cash before the Playboy Club retreated. David Cash & Jason Jett vs. The Dudley Boys Cash was still staggered from the earlier attack, leading to Jett having to wrestle most of the match by himself. Not good circumstances to face while dealing with the brawling Dudleys, who battered the young duo before pinning Cash following a double Flapjack. Barry Windham vs. Buddy Rose Rose might not look like a peak athlete these days, but Barry Windham knows better than to underestimate the Playboy.
