Pacific Coast Wrestling show from the Selland Arena, Fresno, October 18th, 1991 Shane Douglas vs. John Tatum Douglas continued his comeback, taking down Hollywood John with the Belly To Belly Suplex . The New Foundation vs. The Headbangers Mosh was still not back to full strength from his earlier match with Steve Williams, getting pinned after the Rocket Launcher . Jerry Lynn vs. Eddie Guerrero Both of these wrestlers are on incredible hot streaks, and put on an absolute barn burner of a match. It looked like it would go to a 20 minute time limit draw, but Eddie was able to hit a brainbuster at around the 19 minute mark, and swiftly followed up with the Frog Splash for the win . The Thrillseekers vs. Iron & Steel (Tony Atlas & Larry Cameron) In a battle of speed vs. power, Jericho and Storm squared off against the former champs and were able to pin Atlas when Jericho caught him in a Victory Roll , giving the Canadian duo one of their biggest victories yet. California Title Match : Rob Van Dam © vs. Jason Jett Perhaps inspired by his partner's efforts against Sabu , Jett put in an incredible effort against the California champ. Partway through the match, Sabu came down to the corner of RVD, leading to David Cash's arrival to back up Jett. Eventually, Sabu attacked Jett, and when Jett jumped in to defend his partner, the ref ended up declaring a no contest. Chris Candido & Special Forces (The Eagle & The Scorpion) vs. Sean Morley , Scotty The Body & Stevie Richards Candido and Morley were eager to tangle with each other, Scotty and Stevie were less keen to face Special Forces. Regardless, Scorpion was able to catch Stevie with the Scorpion Death Drop and pull out the victory .

Pacific Coast Wrestling show from the Cow Palace , San Francisco, on Pacific Super Cards on ESPN / TSN, October 17th , 1991 Steve Blackman vs. Dennis Condrey Condrey was clearly on top of his game, defeating Blackman with the Gourdbuster . David Cash vs. Sabu Sabu seemed keen to take advantage of Dutch Savage's recent announcement about relaxation of rules enforcement, particularly with his use of tables being mentioned. Cash was actually able to take advantage of this, coming back to attack Sabu whenever he tried to get at or set up a table. He even busted open Sabu by slamming his head on the edge of a table. After a big dive from Cash , landing on Sabu outside the ring, neither man was able to make it back in the ring, leading to a double countout finish. The Smoking Gunns vs. The Dudley Boys The Dudleyville Duo bested the genial cowboys by way of the Three D on Billy . Bret Hart vs. Fit Finlay In a fierce battle, Hart was unable to get Finlay in the Sharpshooter but was still able to take down the Belfast Bruiser with a running clothesline . Barry Windham vs. Buddy Rose Rose has had some incredible battles with Windham in the past, but coming in with bruised and bandaged ribs was too much of a disadvantage, and Windham beat the Playboy with the Western Lariat. Pacific Heavyweight Title Match : Toshiaki Kawada © vs. Sgt. Slaughter Sarge put in a determined challenge for the top title, but Dennis Condrey snuck down to ringside and ambushed him with the Full Nelson Facebuster on the floor, leading to Kawada winning by countout.

Pacific Wrestling Showcase from the Oakland Alameda County Arena, Oakland, on ESPN / TSN, October 16th , 1991 Michael Modest vs. Jackson Fox Just one week to go before Calgary Combat and one of the undoubted highlights of that show will likely be the finals of the 1991 Tournament Of Lions . Michael Modest will be one of the two finalists and showed why in this match. He showed poise and confidence as he capable handled the rookie Fox, easily dispatching him with the Reality Check . It's no wonder that , in the eyes of the fans, he is considered one of the breakout stars of the PCW 1991 rookie class . Chris Hamrick vs. David Young For much of his time as part of the Oregon Wrecking Crew , David Young has been in the sizable shadow of his partner, Gary Albright. Lately, though, Young has made a bit of a name for himself and has been gathering momentum in his most recent matches. He was facing an extremely capable and determined opponent in Confederate Currency, who came close to taking the match at a few different points in the match . Young managed to stay strong and planted Hamrick with his dreaded Spinebuster Slam for the win. Word has it that Young has started referring to himself as the Messiah Of The Spinebuster. Hmmm , something tells me that Big Bully Busick might just have something to say about that. Steve Williams vs. Mosh The Headbangers have had an impressive amount of success on their own for a young team. That said, they might be regretting their loose affiliation with the League Of Gentlemen . Dr. Death may have been facing Mosh, but was clearly seeing Mike Awesome as he basically rolled over the Headbanger, crushing him with a backdrop driver on the way to a dominant win. Mosh was clearly wobbly legged as he left the ring. Alex Wright vs. Zach Wurtenberger Wright, the other finalist for the Tournament Of Lions, stands in a stark contrast to Michael Modest. Das Wunderkind arrived in PCW full of confidence, overly so. The second generation wrestler was clearly blessed with considerable athletic gifts, but a roving eye for pretty women led to a well earned reputation as someone lacking in focus. The efforts of Dean Malenko to get Wright's feet on the ground paid off with some key wins, earning him a spot in the finals of the Tournament Of Lions. Now, with Wright on the verge of breaking through to the next level, the Sinister Minister seems hell bent on undoing all of that work with his constant nagging from ringside. Even after Wright easily defeated Wurtenberger with a German Suplex, the Sin Min was still on his back for not getting it done sooner, and Wright had a dejected look on his face as he returned to the locker room . The Sinister Minister may well be on the verge of ruining a good thing . Pierre Carl Ouellet vs. Rick Martel Ever since turning his back on the fans and his former friends, Martel has mostly been dealing with Barry Windham, but his fellow French Canadian Pierre Carl Ouellet is also clearly disappointed in him. There seemed a bit of a personal edge with every shot PCO fired at Martel, and he was firing a lot of them. Martel held his own, but seemed a bit taken by surprise at how infuriated his countryman was with him. PCO nearly got him pinned with a rollup out of the corner, but Martel rolled through and just barely got the three count assisted by a fistful of tights. A very close escape for Martel, but he is learning fast just how many fan favorites are angry with him . Pacific Light Heavyweight Title Match : The Lightning Kid © vs. Little Guido Little Guido is another wrestler who can's seem to make his manager happy, but while Alex Wright has been successful in the teeth of his manager's disappointment, Guido has made some unfortunate blunders to earn the ire of Jim Cornette. And Wright can at least count on the support of Dean Malenko, Guido is finding his cousin Big Vito just as disapproving , despite initially having his back. Both Cornette and Vito were at ringside for this match, but gave Guido's efforts a frosty reception as he took on the Light Heavyweight champ. Guido did the best he could , but the champion proved too much for him, and the Lightning Kid took the victory with the Lightning Strike (Tombstone). Guido got no support from his manager or his cousin after the match, and had to help himself back up and to the locker room .

Pacific Coast Wrestling show from McArthur Court, Eugene, October 11th, 1991 Cannonball Grizz vs. Big Vito This was a down and dirty fight, with Grizz refusing to take a back step to Vito, but the Pugilistic Paisano hit his always deadly LBK (Legitimate Businessman's Kick) to pull out the win. Fastball (Bobby Horne & Robert Thompson) vs. The Headbangers Two of the rising young teams in PCW had an exciting bout that went to a 20 minute time limit draw. Steve Blackman vs. Mike Awesome Awesome simply overwhelmed Blackman, folding him up with the Awesome Bomb. Pacific Submission Title Match : Gary Albright © vs. Tommy Dreamer Despite his best efforts to sink in the Dream Weaver , Dreamer was crushed be a series of suplexes from Albright, who forced him to tap out to a Dragon Sleeper. The Thrillseekers vs. The Dudley Boys The Thrillseekers continued to show they are on top of their game, overcoming the intimidating Dudleys by pinning Bubba Ray following a double top rope dropkick. Golden State Tag Team Title Match : Scotty The Body & Stevie Richards © vs. Special Forces (The Eagle & The Scorpion) In a chaotic match, when the champs refused to stop double teaming the Eagle, the Scorpion slugged Stevie with a baseball bat, leading to a DQ .

Pacific Coast Wrestling show from the Portland Memorial Coliseum , Portland , on Pacific Super Cards on ESPN / TSN, October 10th , 1991 Roddy Piper vs. Sabu Piper was making his first appearance since the Cage Match with Buddy Rose, and was unusually listless for the first half of the match , coming off as crestfallen from his loss to his hated enemy. Sabu really unloaded on the Hot Scot, and while Piper fought back, he was lacking his usually fire. That changed midway through the match when Chris Candido came down to ringside and started cheering on his mentor. Rowdy Roddy got his head back in the game and started bringing back his usual craziness. It wound up becoming a double countout , with both men brawling at ringside. Regardless, it is good to see Piper becoming more of his old self. David Cash & Jason Jett vs. Buddy Rose & Sean Morley Rose may have come out on top in his war with Piper, but he didn't have long to enjoy his victory. Soon enough, he wound up taking a beating at the hands of the Scorpion, ending up with badly bruised ribs. Rose had bandaged ribs and wore a ring jacket throughout the match, leaving much of the action to Morley. Rose was able to overcome the disadvantage by sneaking into the ring and hitting Cash with a low blow followed by an Inside Out Backbreaker. The allowed Morley to hit the Perfect Splash, giving the win to the Perfect Specimen . Fit Finlay vs. Little Guido Guido continues to be in the Doghouse of Camp Cornette, being sent out on his own to face the wrath of the Fighting Irishman. He put in a game effort, but Finlay dropped him on the head with a Tombstone and that was that. Cornette was glaring at Guido as he returned to the back. Pacific Tag Team Title Match : The Midnight Express © vs. The Smoking Gunns It's been a rough weekend for Camp Cornette, but the Midnight Express was able to give them a win . Despite a fierce challenge from the Gunn's, Lane caught Bart on the chin with a Savate Kick and keep their grip on the titles. Shane Douglas vs. Jack Victory Douglas continued his comeback, defeating Victory with the Belly To Belly Suplex . Pacific Heavyweight Title Match : Toshiaki Kawada © vs. Owen Hart The youngest of the Hart Brothers went all out in an exciting challenge for the top title, but the killer instinct of the champ proved to be the difference maker, as Kawada defeated Owen with a high angle power bomb.

Pacific Wrestling Showcase from the Portland Sports Arena, Portland , on ESPN / TSN, October 9th, 1991 Michael Modest & The Serial Thrillaz vs. Alex Wright, Dean Malenko & Eddie Guerrero This was rather an odd match from the view of both sides. Wright has started fulfilling his potential , having a much more ring centered attitude thanks to the firm coaching of Dean Malenko. That doesn't seem to be enough for the Sinister Minister, who just can't seem to get off Wright's case. This would ordinarily provide an opportunity for the Thrillaz to take advantage. Unusually, though, Helms and Maverick were giving something of a frosty treatment to Modest, only tagging in for him very reluctantly and once they do, keeping him out of the ring for as long as possible. Regardless, Modest was still able to pull out the win, pinning Wright following the Reality Check . Right after the pin, Maverick and Helms immediately left the ring, leaving Modest behind to take in the fans cheers alone. Wright, on the other hand, had to put up with more vituperation from the Sin Min . The normally self satisfied Wunderkind looked about to cry, and Malenko and Guerrero formed a protective wall between themselves and their manager, giving their manager a death glare as they returned to the locker room. Chris Candido vs. Brad Reese Candido's mentor, Roddy Piper, suffered a heartbreaking loss a week ago in the closing match of his feud with Buddy Rose. Candido is clearly not going to let that diminish his momentum, bringing fresh enthusiasm to his match. The New Jersey sparkplug displayed his considerable talents, running rings around Reese and pinning him following the New Jersey Jam. Just goes to show that you can't keep Candido down for long . Jim Neidhart vs. David Young The Anvil and his brother in law Owen Hart have returned to PCW , but are finding that the competition to have become much tougher going in their absence. Neidhart is in singles competition today, but is facing part of the tag team division in David Young, one half of the Oregon Wrecking Crew. Neidhart seemed to be taking Young lightly, but the OWC are former Golden State Tag Champs, and Young was a big part of them staying in the upper ranks of the division. Neidhart may have bowled over young with several shoulder tackles, but Young got his own shots in, and the Anvil wound up getting careless, running straight into the Spinebuster Slam. Young got the victory, and Neidhart got a lesson to start taking the young guns of PCW seriously. Randy Savage vs. John Tatum The flames of Randy Savage's intensity normally run hot, but his feud with Brian Lee has been pouring gasoline on the proverbial flames. John Tatum isn't normally a figure that draws any degree of sympathy, but this time the poor sap didn't know what into him . The Macho Man tore into him like a school of piranhas , easily defeating him with the diving elbow smash. Brian Lee had best keep his eyes open for Savage . Speaking of which … Brian Lee vs. Jairus Robinson Lee made quick work of Robinson, polishing him off with the Cancellation . The real story came afterwards , when Randy Savage stormed the ring and took Lee down with a high kneelift. The Bulldozer got back to his feet, and the two brawled around the arena. The fans excitedly followed them as they slugged it out, and it was perhaps because of Dutch Savage's new directive that PCW officials didn't intervene until quite some time afterwards. The Sandman vs. Dennis Condrey "Loverboy" Dennis has been seeking tough opposition to gear up for his rematch with Sgt. Slaughter, but may have bitten off more than he can chew. The Sons Of The Beach have been giving the Midnight Express all they can handle in tag title challenges, and the Sandman has been coming into his own as a fierce competitor. No matter what Condrey threw at him, the Surfing Superstar was relentless in coming back after him, dishing out punishing blows leaving some livid welts on the frame of Condrey. Dennis had to hit the Full Nelson Facebuster on the floor to get a win by countout. Even then, the Sandman was trying to drag himself to his feet to get back in the match.

The Happening looks amazing. Bad News vs. Kokina has a real Irresistable Force Meets The Immovable Object feel to it.

Contrary to what some have said about me, I am not that big of an ECW devotee. Not really a Hardcore Wrestling fan, more into SMW or Mid South . But I did enjoy a fair amount of their in ring action and enjoy using their wrestlers as characters. You accurately pointed out that normally Sabu using a table would be grounds for a DQ. I felt the need to address that on screen . This is not going to be out and out chaos or Hardcore TV , just a bit more relaxation of rule enforcement and refs being encouraged to let things play out before coming in with a DQ, allowing some of the wilder wrestlers to do what they are best known for. There is a little bit of precedent happening in real time, with FMW having started up and ECW going in its Beta form of TWA. Will see how it plays out.

Pacific Coast Wrestling show from the Kelowna Memorial Arena, Kelowna, October 4th, 1991 The New Foundation vs. The Headbangers The New Foundation were able to pull out the win with a game opposition, as Owen forced Mosh to give up to the Sharpshooter. Jason Jett vs. Eddie Guerrero Eddie continued his quest for another TV title shot as he pinned Jett with the Frog Splash . The Serial Thrillaz vs. The Dudley Boys Both teams were eager to capitalize on the relaxation of rule enforcement , having a wild brawl until D-Von pinned Maverick following a diving head butt. Shane Douglas vs. Sean Morley Douglas was able to overcome the Perfect Specimen with the Pittsburgh Plunge . Pacific Light Heavyweight Title Match : The Lightning Kid © vs. David Cash The Lightning Kid continued his successful title reign by pinning Cash with the Moonsault Body Block . California Title Match : Rob Van Dam © vs. Chris Hamrick Hamrick may have been knocked out of the Tournament Of Lions , but he showed why he is a worthy title challenger, taking RVD to the limit before going down to a spin kick .

Pacific Coast Wrestling show from the Pacific Coliseum, Vancouver on Pacific Super Cards on ESPN / TSN , October 3rd, 1991 Pierre Carl Ouellet vs. Jack Victory Perhaps it was the announcement of the day before, where Dutch Savage had put the tables of his rival Sabu into play, but PCO seemed inspired to a new level of ferocity. He came off the top to defeat Jack with the Cannonball . Fit Finlay & Michael Modest vs. Dean Malenko & Alex Wright This match featured both of the finalists from the Tournament Of Lions , so the fans watched their exchanges with great interest. The Sinister Minister seemed to be carrying over his frustration with the Tasmaniac , badgering Wright to pay attention to the match. Wright was already doing the best he could, and , if anything , the SinMin was proving to be a distraction until Malenko whispered to Das Wunderkind to shut it out. Malenko was able to grab the win with a Brainbuster on Finlay, but that didn't stop the Minister, and both Malenko and Wright could be seen rolling their eyes as they left the ring. Barry Windham vs. Rick Martel A battle between two heated rivals that spilled to the outside and ended in a double countout as they brawled in the aisles. Bret Hart vs. Chris Adams Another war between these two which Bret took with a schoolboy rollup but continued the fight well after the pinfall. The Thrillseekers vs. The Oregon Wrecking Crew (Gary Albright & David Young) In the highly competitive Tag Team division, these two teams are near the top and had a highly competitive match which went to a 20 minute time limit draw. Pacific Tag Team Title Match : The Midnight Express © vs. Iron & Steel (Tony Atlas & Larry Cameron) The Express also seemed inspired by the words of Dutch Savage, pushing the limits of the referee's tolerance with their shortcuts. Savage was proved right in the response from Iron & Steel, who fought back with their own rough tactics. The Midnights were just barely able to pull out the win with Eaton's flying elbow smash to the back of the head of Atlas.

Pacific Wrestling Showcase from the Victoria Memorial Arena, Victoria, on ESPN / TSN, October 2nd , 1991 Special Forces (The Eagle & The Scorpion) vs. Jason Linden & Eric Abraham After the introduction of the Scorpion in the last couple of weeks, this would be the first view of the newly minted Special Forces in action. They may be a new team, but they worked together like they had been a team their whole lives, easily overpowering the rookies before taking down Linden with the Final Sanction (Eagle Irish Whips the opponent into a top rope clothesline from Scorpion). The Playboy Club may have thought they were rid of the Force Of July, but are facing a reckoning from Special Forces. Ultimo Dragon vs. The Tasmaniac There has been a lot of confusion of late regarding the Tasmaniac, which carried over into his match with the former Light Heavyweight champion. The mystery of whether he was, as the Sinister Minister claimed, a savage from the highlands of Tasmania or, as Dan Severn suggested, a former amateur prospect names Peter Senercha was certainly on the minds, but he seemed to have his savage persona in place. Part way through the match, Severn showed up at the ring entrance, but went no further than that, simply staring at the Tazmaniac. Tazmaniac, in return, stared back in confusion, and it took a lot of shouting from the Sinister Minister to get his head back in the match. Even after his charge got the pinfall by way of a T-Bone Tazplex, the SinMin was still on his case for not going for a submission. The Tasmaniac glared at him on the way back to the locker room , but no more came of it as Severn had since left. Dan Severn vs. John Tatum The Beast wasn't gone for long, as he was soon out for the next match. It looks like his confidence has returned, as he was not thrown by the trademark shenanigans of Hollywood John. No matter what Tatum threw at him, Severn capably fended off, showing the technical supremacy that made him leader of the Citadel . Severn dispatched Tatum with ease, forcing him to tap out to a Body Scissors sleeper. Despite the fearsome prospect of the Tasmaniac, Severn is showing all evidence that he is up for the challenge. Interview : Don Coss stands in the ring Coss : Ladies and gentlemen , my next guest is the Commissioner of Pacific Coast Wrestling … Dutch Savage! The crowd give a warm response as the beloved commissioner heads out to the ring. He takes time to genially shake hands with the fans, but is otherwise all business . Coss : Dutch … Commissioner Savage, you requested this time to address some concerns and make an announcement. Dutch : That's right. There have been some rumblings about recent events in PCW lately, particularly regarding Sabu. Rumblings among the fans, the wrestling press, even some of the wrestlers. I will fill you in on how this played out in my office. At Phoenix Firestorm, Sabu defeated PCO with a Moonsault through a folding table. There has been some commentary regarding that match, with some quarters saying that the ref should have disqualified Sabu and given the match to Ouellet. To be candid, I was getting ready to call the ref on the carpet and read him the riot act. Then I pondered on it. I couldn't forget the loud and enthusiastic response from the fans when Sabu put Pierre through the table. It was certainly a spectacular moment. The PCW fans have long been a diverse lot, showing great support for wilder wrestlers as well as technical masters like Dan Severn and Dean Malenko. It was just a few years ago that fan groups like the Bull Pen and the Wild Dogs had a rivalry that matched the rivalry between their teams, the Wild Bulls and the Dog Pound. There is a long history of PCW being the home of popular but more rough and ready, chaotic wrestlers like Roddy Piper and Sgt. Slaughter. Even Buddy Rose has his own fan base , God help us. So , instead of dropping the hammer, I gave a new directive to the referees. I encouraged them to, using their discretion, give a bit more of a free hand in enforcement of the rules. It can be a disappointment to both fans and wrestlers for a match that is really cooking to be cut short with a DQ decision. So the referees have been encouraged to hold back on ending a match in DQ unless they feel there is no other choice. To do their best to let the match play out. Now, I know there are likely some people in the locker room who are licking their chops and planning all sorts of mayhem. So here is the warning. This is not a free license to chaos. This is not the Wild West. First off, keep in mind that anything you do to your opponent can just easily be brought back to you. If you want to make someone like the Sandman or PCO mad at you, be my guest, but don't be surprised if you don't care for the result. Secondly, don't mistake this for a complete free for all. I would prefer that payback be kept in the ring, but if an offense is egregious enough to warrant the ref or myself to make a response, the penalties will be commensurate with. If the hammer has to come down, remember that I swing a very heavy hammer. So there you have it. Let's see how this plays out. The Smoking Gunns vs. The FBI For most of this year, Little Guido has been the prize pupil in Jim Cornette's organization, but lately the shine seems to be wearing off. A mistake in last week's bout with Fastball cost the FBI the match, and there was some reluctance to let him tag into this match. The result was, once again, Guido getting involved without tagging in. While he was able to get in some good shots at the Gunns, another mistimed move led to Vito being pinned following the Sidewinder. Once again, Jim Cornette tore into Guido, but this time, Vito seemed reluctant to come to his cousin's defense, and this continued back to the locker room. Mike Awesome vs. David Voce Mike Awesome has long had a reputation as somebody who was tough to pin, but has been on an absolute rampage of late. With an angry Steve Williams coming for revenge, this is likely a show of strength from Awesome to show he is not intimidated by Doctor Death . Awesome simply destroyed Voce, crushing him with an Awesome Bomb. Impressive, but Awesome had better hope he can bring the same intensity, because Steve Williams is waiting. Golden State Tag Team Title Match : Scotty The Body & Stevie Richards © vs. The Sons Of The Beach (Cannonball Grizz & The Sandman) Ever since the dramatic arrival of the Scorpion and the havoc he wreaked on the Playboy Club , the Golden State champs have been somewhat off their game . Tonight, they managed to rally and not a moment too soon. The SoBs are a hot and aggressive team, and the champs had to be back in form just to survive. Despite the best efforts of the Surfing Superstars, Richards proved his hard fought reputation as a clutch player by hitting the Stevie Kick to the back of the head of Grizz. Richards picked up the pinfall, allowing the champs to once again escape with their titles.

Amazing lineup with plenty of great title matches. Most looking forward to the Bootcamp match .

Pacific Coast Wrestling Show from the UCSB Event Center, Santa Barbara, September 27th , 1991 Steve Blackman vs. Dennis Condrey Condrey continued his campaign for a rematch with Sgt. Slaughter, taking down Blackman with a Full Nelson Faceslam. Dan Severn vs. Fit Finlay Severn showed he was looking for tough competition to gear up for the Tasmaniac, having a fierce battle with Fit Finlay that the Beast took with a takeover suplex. The Sons Of The Beach (Cannonball Grizz & The Sandman) vs. The Oregon Wrecking Crew (Gary Albright & David Young) An intense brawl between two ferocious brawl that went to a double countout. Tommy Dreamer vs. Brian Lee The Bulldozer broke Dreamer with the Cancellation, sending a message to Randy Savage. Fastball (Bobby Horne & Robert Thompson) vs. The FBI Big Vito was doing well against Trisa Hayes' duo, but an over enthusiastic Little Guido came into the ring and accidentally hit Vito. This left Vito prey to a DDT from Horne that gave the win to Fastball. Cornette tore into Guido after the match until Vito interposed himself between his manager and his cousin, calming the situation down. California Title Match : Rob Van Dam © vs. Chris Candido Candido came incredibly close to taking the title, but at the 29 minute and 30 second mark, RVD caught him flat footed with a spin kick and a split legged moonsault to pull out the win.

Pacific Coast Wrestling show from the LA Sports Arena, Los Angeles, on Pacific Super Cards on ESPN / TSN, September 26th, 1991 The Thrillseekers & The Smoking Gunns vs. Coast 2 Coast (John Tatum & Jack Victory) & The Dudley Boys An action packed 8 man tag with the Thrillseekers ultimately pulling out the victory for their team with a double dropkick on Tatum. Bam Bam Bigelow vs. Scotty The Body Scotty tried to bounce back after the shock that the arrival of the Scorpion has given to the Playboy Club, but he wasn't able to stop the Atlantic City Fireball from rolling over him, hitting a slingshot splash for the win. David Cash vs. Sean Morley If Morley had any worries about the Scorpion, he channeled it into anger, overpowering Cash and forcing him to tap out to the Full Nelson. Steve Williams vs. Stevie Richards Dr. Death is another wrestler channeling his anger, and this time, it was the Playboy Club who got in the way. Furious that Mike Awesome had cost him his shot at the Pacific Heavyweight Title, he took it all out on the Dancin' Fool, crushing him with the Doctor Bomb. Pacific Tag Team Title Match : The Midnight Express © vs. Big Bully Busick & Shane Douglas Busick has been seemingly unstoppable in his long TV title reign, but was coming into this tag match with his arm heavily taped following an injury from his title defense last week. It is never a good idea to show weakness in front of Midnight Express, and the champs were smelling blood in the water from the get go. Douglas did all he could to cover for his friend, but Busick was too much of a competitor to stay out of the match for long, and it cost him. Stan Lane was particularly eager to make up for his loss the day before, showing evident glee in tormenting the TV champ. It was Eaton who was able to finally put down the Man From Powerhouse Hill with the Divorce Court on his injured arm, followed by the Alabama Jam and the three count. Busick was in a lot of pain as he left the ring, with Douglas protectively staying by his side. Pacific Heavyweight Title Match : Toshiaki Kawada © vs. Barry Windham Fortunately for Windham, his rival Rick Martel was not here tonight, and the Dudley Boyz thankfully kept their noses out of this match. The result was no interference and Windham's most concerted effort to take the title from Kawada. The result was a thrilling match where it always felt that the title was just within the Texan's grasp, but the steely resolve of Kawada was able to keep himself just ahead of the challenger. After a long bout, Windham tried to put it in the deep freeze with the lariat, but Kawada ducked it and caught Barry coming off the ropes with a spinning back heel kid. He followed up with a brutal brainbuster to come out of the match still champion.
