Good ole Jack "On The Take" Tunney! Finally going to get some answers ... possibly.

Jim Steele is also showing as having debuted in 1991.

Ending of Gordy and Orndorff makes perfect sense and sets up the rematch. TNT gives the fans the feel good finish they are looking for.

Pacific Coast Wrestling show from McArthur Court, Eugene, June 14th, 1991 Fastball (Robert Thompson & Bobby Horne) vs. The Serial Thillaz (Mike Maverick & Shane Helms) A matchup between two hungry young teams where the Thrillaz prevailed after pinning Horne with the Super Splash (Maverick climbs up to the second turnbuckle, Helms stands on Maverick's shoulders to hit a diving splash). Steve Blackman vs. Jerry Lynn Blackman took down the former Citadel member with the running bicycle kick. Pierre Carl Ouellet vs. Alex Wright Wright's overconfidence cost him when he went for the reverse flying body press, only for Ouellet to counter with a rollover and score the pinfall. The Sandman vs. Big Vito Another knock down, drag out barn burner between these two, with Sandman getting the win by way of a swinging neckbreaker. Pacific Light Heavyweight Title Match : The Lightning Kid © vs. Ultimo Dragon In an exciting title defense, the Lightning Kid defeated the former champion by way of a diving legdrop. California Title Match : Rob Van Dam © vs. Steven Regal RVD was in for the biggest challenge of his title run, facing of with the Pacific Submission Champ. Regal came very close to taking the title, but Van Dam lured him into a brutal knee strike to the head in the corner. He then landed the split legged moonsault and got the one two three.

Pacific Coast Wrestling show from the Portland Memorial Coliseum , Portland , on Pacific Super Cards on ESPN / TSN, June 13th, 1991 Iron & Steel (Tony Atlas & Larry Cameron) vs. The Headbangers The former Pacific Tag Team champs make their return since losing the titles, defeating the Headbangers after a Spike Piledriver on Thrasher. Shane Douglas vs. Jack Victory Douglas continues his comeback, pinning Victory with a diving cross body block. Bret Hart vs. Chris Adams As one can imagine, this was a brutal brawl, with Bret managing to keep Adams' shoulders to the mat with an Oklahoma Roll , but the two kept slugging it out after the decision. Chris Candido vs. Buddy Rose The Playboy faced off with his former ally, and though Candido was determined to hold his own with Buddy, Rose was able to sneak in a cheap shot that set him up for the Inside Out Backbreaker. Pacific Television Title Match : Big Bully Busick © vs. John Tatum Hollywood John thought he could cheat his way to the TV title, but the Big Bully overpowered him, driving him into the mat with the Spinebuster Slam to put an end to Tatum's singles title ambitions for now. Pacific Heavyweight Title Match : Toshiaki Kawada © vs. Steve Williams With his first title challenge after Bret Hart , Kawada went to war with Doctor Death, a violent clash that ended in a double counted with the pair brawling at ringside.

Pacific Wrestling Showcase from the Portland Sports Arena, Portland , on ESPN / TSN, June 12th , 1991 The Tazmaniac vs. Bill Posley Tonight's show kicks of with the debut of the newest member of the Hexagon, I guess making it a … Septagon? The Tazmaniac may well be the most bizarre member of that odd bunch, seeming like a cross between a caveman and some sort of B-movie savage. There was certainly no denying his intensity, tossing Posley from pillar to post and throwing him about the ring while the Sinister Minister hectored him from ringside . Strangely, after all of this seemingly chaotic brutality, he finished off Posley by forcing him to give up to a modified full nelson choke dubbed the Tazmission, and oddly technical hold for such a deranged individual. Regardless, once the match ended, he went back to huffing and puffing and grunting and snorting. A new mystery on the West Coast. Interview : Don Coss stands in the Crow's Nest Coss : Ladies and gentlemen, my next guest has caused a lot of dismay among the fans of Pacific Coast Wrestling … Rick Martel! The crowd boos as Martel comes out, accompanied by the Dudley Boyz. Instead of his more familiar grin, there is a sneer etched on Martel's face. Coss : Rick Martel, a lot of fans feel like you owe them an explanation for your recent change in attitude. Martel : I owe the fans nothing! (more boos) I tried doing it the fans way. I stayed between the lines and played by the rules. I didn't want to disappoint the so called fans. And where did it get me? Nowhere! Ted Dibiase cheats his way out of every title defense, and I never get a fair shot at a rematch until Bret Hart takes the title anyway. Well screw "fair"! Fair never did me a damned bit of good anyway! I am going to go right into the gutter if that is what it takes to get a win. And that's why I have brought in these guys … they are gutter dwellers and they don't care who knows it! (The Dudley's both nod) The fans have no one to blame but themselves. They could have had Nice Rick Martel … but now they are going to get Reprehensible Rick Martel! Eddie Guerrero vs. David Cash While some members of the Hexagon (or whatever) are embracing the bizarre, Eddie Guerrero keeps moving from strength to strength. Having defeated Chris Hamrick at Seattle Showdown, Guerrero now faces his Money Train teammate David Cash. Cash put in a game effort, and there were a few close calls, but Guerrero was able to catch him with a Gory Bomb to score the win. Guerrero won't be satisfied until he blazes a trail to the top of PCW. Cannonball Grizz vs. Little Guido The feud between the SoBs and the FBI breaks down into a somewhat mismatched singles match, with the huge Grizz looming over Little Guido. Their partners and managers were lurking around the ring, but Guido in particular wanted to get this done on his own. To his credit, the Pugnacious Paisano played a clever Cat & Mouse game against his larger opponent, hitting some dropkicks to the knee to slow Grizz down. He kept at it for as long as he could, but in a moment of recklessness, he went for a running crossbody, and Grizz caught him, crushing him with a front slam to put an end to the match. Nonetheless, a good try from Guido. Scotty The Body & Stevie Richards vs. Colton Cumbie & Zane Knight In one of the biggest turnarounds in PCW history, "Dancin'" Stevie Richards has gone from the doghouse to the penthouse, or at least the Playboy Club. Initially a badly failing prospect for the Club, Richards fought his way back to become one of their most valued members, bolstered by the support of his friend Scotty The Body. Scotty and Stevie easily dominated their opponents, with Cumbie going down to a Stevie Kick. Just goes to show what you can accomplish with the help of your friends, even in the Playboy Club. Barry Windham vs. Bubba Ray Dudley True to his word, Rick Martel was in the corner of his man Bubba Ray, clearly intent on no good. D-Von was there as well, but part way into the match, the Smoking Gunns came out to back up their friend Barry, effectively neutralizing the opposition. The Dudleys may be head knockers but certainly aren't lacking in toughness, and Bubba Ray managed to give Windham a few lumps before the big Texan flattened him with the Western Lariat. Their partners looked about to jump into the ring after the match, but the ref shut that down right away. I don't think it will be too long before this powder keg explodes. Sgt Slaughter & The Force Of July (The Patriot & The Eagle) vs. The Midnight Express Another feud that has flared up has been that between Sgt. Slaughter and Dennis Condrey. Sarge and the Loverboy have locked horns a few times, but never to a decisive end. Tonight, they bring their partners into the fray, and that means that the new Pacific and Golden State Tag Team Champs would be facing each other across the ring. The result was an explosive match where Condrey was able to catch the Eagle in the Full Nelson Faceslam for the win. A big victory for the Express, but Condrey won't be satisfied until he gets a crack at the Double Tough DI himself.

Warrior vs. Warrior has truly epic feel to it, can't wait for that to take place.

Arnold is a blockbuster celeb indeed! Great tie in to T2. SNME is going to be awesome.

Wikipedia lists the debut of Chris Kanyon in 1992. Thoughts?

Pacific Coast Wrestling show from the Kelowna Memorial Arena, Kelowna, June 7th , 1991 Ultimo Dragon vs. Eddie Guerrero An incredibly competitive match where Eddie was able to take down Dragon with a brainbuster, then follow it up with a Frog Splash for the win. Roddy Piper vs. Jack Victory The Rowdy One was able to come out on top, forcing the Big V to give up to the Sleeper Hold. Barry Windham vs. Big Vito A duel between two big strong men where Barry emerged triumphant by way of the Western Lariat. Chris Candido vs. Michael Modest Roddy Piper was in Candido's corner, encouraging him in this very close match with an emerging star. There were a number of near falls, but Candido was able to come out on top by way of the New Jersey Jam. Golden State Tag Team Title Match : The Force Of July (The Patriot & The Eagle) © vs. The Serial Thrillaz The Force Of July were proud to have regained their titles and took on the fast rising duo of the Serial Thrillaz. The Thrillaz gave the champs a few scares, but the Patriot managed to put away Helms with the Uncle Slam. Pacific Light Heavyweight Title Match : The Lightning Kid © vs. Jerry Lynn The weekend closed off with a thrilling Light Heavyweight title match, with new champ Lightning Kid able to hold onto his title by way of the Lightning Strike (Tombstone).

Pacific Coast Wrestling show from the Pacific Coliseum, Vancouver on Pacific Super Cards on ESPN / TSN , June 6th , 1991 Chris Hamrick vs. Sean Morley The Perfect Specimen showed his value to the Playboy Club, forcing Confederate Currency to give up to the Full Nelson. Bam Bam Bigelow vs. Fit Finlay In a duel between two double tough contenders, Bigelow overcame the Belfast Bruiser with an Avalanche in the corner. Sgt. Slaughter vs. Dennis Condrey In a feud that is truly starting to catch fire, Sarge won by DQ when Condrey slugged him with Cornette's tennis racquet. Pacific Television Title Match : Big Bully Busick © vs. Dean Malenko The Man of 1000 Holds came very close to snaring the Bully on a number of occasions, but Busick was able to hit the Bully Breaker (hangman neckbreaker) to defend his title. Pacific Tag Team Title Match : The Midnight Express © vs. Fastball (Bobby Horne & Robert Thompson) The new/old champs defending against an up and coming team that kept them on their toes, but in the end, the experience of the Express prevailed by way of a Rocket Launcher on Thompson. Pacific Heavyweight Title Match : Toshiaki Kawada © vs. Bret Hart The Hitman put in a fierce effort to regain the title he had just lot, and looked like he might just do it, but once again, Chris Adams had to go and ruin it, attacking Hart and leading to Kawada being disqualified. The two double teamed the Hitman until Bam Bam Bigelow rushed in with a chair to run them off.

Pacific Wrestling Showcase from the Victoria Memorial Arena, Victoria, on ESPN / TSN, June 5th, 1991 The Oregon Wrecking Crew (Gary Albright & David Young) vs. Tyrone Davis & Mark Caruso While the OWC scored a hard fought victory over the Money Train at Seattle Showdown, it wasn't a great outing overall for the Terror Collective, notable with leader Ted Dibiase being sent packing from PCW. Albright and Young did not seem all that fazed by it, coming out with their usual confidence and Brian Lee, possibly in a show of Collective solidarity, supporting them from their corner. The duo easily rolled over the opposition, with Young absolutely crushing him with his trademark Spinebuster. A great showing from the OWC, but what does the future hold for the Terror Collective? Speaking of which … Interview : Don Coss stands in the ring Coss : Ladies and gentlemen, my next guests are, errr, already in the ring … The Terror Collective! Lee : Howdy, Don! Coss : Ummm, yes. You all seem to be in fairly good spirits, given the crippling loss of Ted Dibiase at Seattle Showdown. Lee : Oh, I don't know about that, Don. It's a loss, but hardly crippling. Ted Dibiase was tough, but his time had come. Coss : Is that why you didn't bail him out when he called for it? Lee : Well, the way I see it, anyone who is going to be a leader has to also be able to take care of things by himself. The Man Of Means didn't have the means to save himself, so now he plies his trade elsewhere. We wish him the best in his future endeavours. The original Collective was a Triangle, and I think that is the best for us. We have the toughest tag team in the world with Gary and David, and nobody can stop the big Bulldozer for long. First order of business : getting rid of Steve Williams and Randy Savage. Traitors, you are on notice from the Terror Collective! Jushin Liger vs. Alex Wright While Liger suffered the loss of his Light Heavyweight Title at Seattle Showdown, Wright came out with a victory, albeit by DQ. Wright came out brimming with his usual confidence, no doubt additionally fueled by that win. But Liger was as sure a presence as ever, matching Das Wunderkind hold for hold. Wright thought he had foxed Liger when he had him set up for the German Suplex, but Liger whirled around him and countered with a Tiger Suplex that got the pinfall. Liger may no longer be champion, but he is still a force to be reckoned with. Pierre Carl Ouellet vs. John Tatum PCO came up short in his challenge for RVD's California Title, he put in a sterling effort and came very close to winning the title. Facing the former Golden State Tag Team champ, the Fighting French Canadian overcame all sorts of shenanigans from Hollywood John, catching him coming off the ropes with a powerslam and finishing him off with the Cannonball. There is no doubt that PCO, despite his relative youth, is one of the most respected competitors in PCW. Randy Savage vs. Matt Quinlan Brian Lee may have casually put Randy Savage "on notice" earlier this evening, given how handily Savage defeated him at Seattle Showdown, that's going to be much easier said than done. Savage easily overwhelmed young Quinlan, dropping the big flying elbow for the win. Lee may come to regret provoking Savage even further. Rick Martel vs. Steve Blackman Rick Martel has disappointed many people with his change of attitude, perhaps none more than his Canadian fans. If Martel cared, he kept it close to his vest, as he felt free to use any dirty tactics at his disposal against the Living Weapon. When Blackman attempted to get him into a leglock, Martel shut it down with a low blow kick. He then wrapped up Blackman in the Quebec Crab and forced him to give up the match. It's like Martel's time as a fan favorite never happened. Interview : Don Coss stands in the ring Coss : Ladies and gentlemen, my next guests seem to be finding themselves at a bit of a crossroads … the Citadel! The crowd cheers as Dan Severn, Steve Blackman, Big Bully Busick and Shane Douglas head out to the ring. Severn looks decidedly downcast as he joins Don Coss. Coss : Begging your pardon, Dan, but many people were shocked by your actions at Seattle Showdown. It looked like you were out to seriously injure Al Snow. Severn : Believe me, Don, nobody was more shocked than I was. I have always practiced what I preached. I know I am known as the Beast, but the Beast was something I controlled. I respected the game, respected the rules, and knew when to crank it in and when to pull it back. I have led the Citadel under the principals of good sportsmanship. (The rest of the Citadel nod.) But when Al and Jerry turned their backs on all that, said there was no need for respect, well, that was a slap in the face. I took Al's betrayal especially personally. He was my friend. I trusted him, and he betrayed that trust. When he was across the ring from me, I just got angrier and angrier. When he kept cheapshotting me in the match, I couldn't stand it anymore. I tried to put him out … for good. If it hadn't been for Steve here, I may well have crippled him. I have had to take a long look at myself after that. Coss : What are you going to do now, Dan? Dan : Like I said, I need to take some time to contemplate. I will be stepping back , I will keep coaching the Citadel but won't go into the ring myself. I am going to examine my priorities and when I come back, I will show people just what the Beast is truly capable of. The Thrillseekers vs. The Headbangers This is a rematch from Seattle Showdown, and if anything, the Headbangers came out even hungrier than they did at the Mega Show. They came in hot and fast, and the Thrillseekers were eager to match them in intensity. This was a fast and aggressive match, but the Thrillseekers ultimately prevailed with a double top rope dropkick on Thrasher.

I had Nirvana on my last show. You can just use, it is fine.

Bullet Bob, laying down the law! Steve Austin, star on the rise. Gordy has a hell of a tough first defense against Mr. Wonderful.

Great move with the focus on people with PR wrestling history . Can't wait to see the ultimate battle between Colon and Kokina.
