Pacific Coast Wrestling show from the Selland Arena, Fresno, February 15th, 1991 Pierre Carl Ouellet & Chris Hamrick vs. Fit Finlay & Michael Modest Well, that didn't take long (again). Hamrick made the most of his second shot at Modest, getting the pinfall with the Franken-Hamrick. Too Cold Scorpio vs. Little Guido After several matches with Scorpio, Guido had his best result yet, taking him to a 15 minute time limit draw. Fastball (Bobby Horne & Robert Thompson) vs. The Midnight Express In spite of the considerable enthusiasm of Fastball, the Midnights got the win with the Double Goozle on Horne. David Cash & Jason Jett vs. Coast 2 Coast (John Tatum & Jack Victory) The Money Train gave it their best shot, but Coast 2 Coast were able to take out Jett with the Coastal Crunch (high angle belly to back suplex by Victory into a Bionic Elbow Drop by Tatum). Pacific Submission Title Match : Toshiaki Kawada © vs. Steve Blackman The champ forced Blackman to tap out to the Kawada Crab. Pacific Light Heavyweight Title Match : Jushin Liger © vs. Eddie Guerrero Another epic match between these two that went to a 30 minute time limit draw.

Pacific Coast Wrestling show from the Cow Palace , San Francisco, on Pacific Super Cards on ESPN / TSN, February 14th , 1991 Tommy Dreamer vs. Dean Malenko As could be imagined from the day before, this was a furious battle that disintegrated into a no contest. The Miracle Violence Connection vs. The Oregon Wrecking Crew (Gary Albright & David Young) The MVC faced down their former allies and, despite a tough effort from the OWC, Gordy overpowered Young with a Power Bomb. Cannonball Grizz vs. Big Vito Vito evened the score with the SoBs, taking down Grizz with the Sicilian Smash (running forearm smash to the face). Chris Jericho vs. Dennis Condrey Condrey overcame a game Jericho with the Full Nelson Facebuster. Roddy Piper & Iron & Steel (Tony Atlas & Larry Cameron) vs. Chris Candido, Scotty The Body & Stevie Richards An excess of zeal on the part of Stevie Richards cost him, as he left himself vulnerable to a belly to back suplex from Piper that gave the win to the Hot Scot. Pacific Television Title Match : Big Bully Busick © vs. Buddy Rose The Playboy used his considerable cunning to manage to stay even with the Big Bully. Unfortunately for him, Stevie Richards tried to tip the scales by entering the ring and attempting to hit Busick with the Stevie Kick. Busick dodged it , and Richards hit the ref instead , leading to Rose being disqualified. The Playboy was clearly furious as he left the ring.

Pacific Wrestling Showcase from the Oakland Alameda County Arena, Oakland, on ESPN / TSN, February 13th , 1991 The Sandman vs. Little Guido Seemingly out of nowhere, a fierce feud has erupted between the surfing superstars and the pugnacious paisanos, particularly between the Sandman and Big Vito. In this match, it would be Little Guido fighting Sandman, but that didn't diminish the fury on either side. Initially, the young rookie Guido was able to capitalize on Sandman's anger, keeping his focus to tie up the Son Of The Beach and came close to trapping him into some submission holds. In the end, though the power and anger of the Sandman was too much to cope with, and Sandman came out on top with a Flying Legdrop. One can bet it won't be long before Big Vito has some sort of response. Mike Maverick & Shane Helms vs. Rory Freeman & Jonathan Libby The Serial Thrillaz came exploding out of the blocks and made an immediate impression as a team to keep an eye on, gaining a patron in Fit Finlay and rivals in the Money Train. The duo of Maverick and Helms (with Finlay and Michael Modest in their corner) showcased their high flying and combination moves before pinning Libby with the Thrill Killer (Mike Maverick Gorilla Press slams Shane Helms onto a prone opponent). A convincing win, and you know they can't wait to get their hands on the Money Train. Steven Regal vs. Alex Wright While both Regal and the young Wright are very strong scientific wrestlers, that seemed to go right out the window the moment they stepped foot in the ring together. These two just threw down immediately, not even waiting for the bell, and never stopped. Dean Malenko eventually rushed out to try and tip the balance in Wright's favour, but found himself intercepted by Tommy Dreamer. Regal finally put Wright down with a swinging neckbreaker, but that is highly unlikely to be the end of things. Chris Hamrick vs. Michael Modest Well, that didn't take long. Modest took the fight right to Hamrick, but Hamrick had come of a very strong 1990, going all the way to the finals of the Tournament Of Lions, and refused to give an inch to the newcomer. Despite the best efforts from Confederate Currency, Modest was ultimately able to put him down with the Reality Check. Regardless, this feud clearly has legs, and it won't be too long before we see these two square off again. Bam Bam Bigelow vs. Jeff Wilson While still in the upper reaches of the PCW standings, the Beast From The East has come off some tough losses recently, and so was looking to show that he still had what it took. He bounced Wilson all over the ring, easily dominating him with power moves before squashing him from up top with the Nuclear Splash. Despite recent tough luck, Bigelow is clearly not someone to be underestimated. Sgt. Slaughter vs. Chris Adams Just before this match, it was announce that, in two weeks, Chris Adams would be appearing in one of the main events at Aloha Spectacular, challenging Bret Hart for the Pacific Heavyweight Title. Before he got there, though , he would have to get through the double tough DI Sgt. Slaughter. Sarge gave Adams a real battering, and while Adams gave as good as he got, Slaughter proved to be a big bear to try to contain. The tide turned when Mike Awesome came to ringside, and while Slaughter did his best to focus, Awesome proved enough of a distraction that Adams was able to sneak in the Superkick to get the win. He had survived, but would now have to face Hart, a champion at the top of his gang.

Danielson. Would love to build this guy up from the beginning and help develop him into a star.

Pacific Coast Wrestling show from McArthur Court, Eugene, February 8th, 1991 Jason Jett & Chris Hamrick vs. Mike Maverick & Shane Helms The Money Train evened things up with the Serial Thrillaz when Hamrick hit the Southern Bellringer (Second rope spike piledriver) on Helms. Too Cold Scorpio vs. Little Guido Scorpio blocked an attempt at the Sicilian Necktie (guillotine choke) and countered with a Northern Lights Suplex for the win. Barry Windham vs. Stan Lane Windham was able to hold off the Man With The Educated Feet long enough to land the Superplex and take the victory. Sgt. Slaughter vs. Mike Awesome Sarge went for the Slaughter Cannon, but Awesome dodged out of the way and Sarge hit the ref instead, leading to Awesome getting the win by DQ. Pacific Submission Title Match : Toshiaki Kawada © vs. Steven Regal Regal gave it all he had, but a series of kicks from Kawada left Regal open to the Stretch Plum, which forced the English Lion to give up. Golden State Tag Team Title Match : The Force Of July (The Patriot & The Eagle) © vs. Stormfront (Al Snow & Jerry Lynn) Stormfront threw plenty of dirty tricks at the champs, but the FoJ kept a straight and true course, with the Eagle pinning Snow following the Screaming Eagle (top rope missile dropkick).

Pacific Coast Wrestling show from the Portland Memorial Coliseum , Portland , on Pacific Super Cards on ESPN / TSN, February 7th , 1991 Pierre Carl Ouellet & David Cash vs. Fit Finlay & Michael Modest Another heated battle between the Money Train and the Serial Thrillaz, with Modest taking down Cash with the Reality Check (over the shoulder belly to back piledriver). Terry Gordy vs. David Young Young landed some big moves on Gordy, but Gordy came back with a Power Bomb to get the win. Steve Williams vs. Ted Dibiase This match descended into chaos when Brian Lee and Terry Gordy interfered in the match, leading to a no contest finish. Roddy Piper vs. Chris Candido Candido caught Piper with a rollup out of the corner, only for Piper to roll through it with his own rollup and get the three count. Candido's insufferable pouting both during and after the match led to the fans chanting "Crybaby! Crybaby!" at him, which only made him even more upset. Pacific Tag Team Title Match : Iron & Steel (Tony Atlas & Larry Cameron) © vs. Scotty The Body & Stevie Richards A spirited effort by the Playboy Club came to a brutal end when Atlas crushed Stevie with a piledriver. Pacific Television Title Match : Big Bully Busick © vs. Buddy Rose The Playboy dug deep into his bag of tricks and was able to keep in the match with the Bully until they went to a 20 minute Time Limit Draw.

Pacific Wrestling Showcase from the Portland Sports Arena, Portland , on ESPN / TSN, February 6th , 1991 Brian Lee vs. Brady Finta The Bulldozer is definitely showing his confidence, now that he is part of one of the elite groups in Pacific Coast Wrestling. The Terror Collective has invested wisely in Lee, and he has made a significant impact pretty much from the get go. He easily dismantled Finta, polishing the rookie off with the Cancellation. The departure of Terry Gordy and Steve Williams left a significant hole in the ranks of the collective, but Lee is making the spot his own. Steve Blackman vs. Al Snow There is no shortage of bad blood between Blackman and Snow, with the departure of Snow and Jerry Lynn from the Citadel leaving a bitter taste in everyone's mouth. Tempers were running hot in this match, with Snow's willingness to bend the rules leading to Blackman striking even more fiercely in retaliation. Blackman was able to catch Snow flat footed with the Running Bicycle Kick to get the win, but they were still ready to go at each other after the match. Stormfront may have left the Citadel, but the two sides don't seem to be done with each other by quite some ways. Scotty The Body & Stevie Richards vs. Travis Sampson & John Kenney Scotty has made something of a project of young Stevie, trying to prove that he has what it takes to be a member of the Playboy Club. The rest of the Club, Tina Ferrari in particular, remain skeptical. That view is unlikely to have been improved by Richards cavorting and capering around the ring, and Scotty struggled to keep Richards focused on the match. Scotty carried the bulk of the action of the match, but did bring Richards in for the closing stretch, and it was a Stevie Kick on Sampson that got the win. All the same, Scotty certainly has his work cut out for him if he is going to make a silk purse out of this sow's ear. Cannonball Grizz vs. Big Vito A bit of a feud has sprung up between the SoBs and the FBI, particularly between the Sandman and Big Vito. It would be Cannonball Grizz representing the Sons Of The Beach in this match, but Sandman and Little Guido would both be at ringside to back up their partners, along with their managers Peaches and Jim Cornette. Neither man held back, and though Grizz had a size advantage, it was an explosive Sicilian Smash (running forearm smash to the face) from Vito that got the win. Both sides seemed ready to brawl after the match, Peaches and Cornette pulled them back, deciding it was best to wait for another day. Rick Martel vs. The Lightning Kid This match pitted a legend of PCW against a fast rising up and comer. While the Kid is managed by the always unscrupulous Sinister Minister, he fought an impressive technical match with Martel, coming close to catching him on several occasions. He tried to put him out with a rolling single crab, but Martel rolled through it and trapped him in the Quebec Crab. The Kid struggled to escape but it was not, and he was forced to tap out. A tough loss, but the Kid has nothing to be ashamed of in his efforts. Pacific Light Heavyweight Title Match : Jushin Liger © vs. Alex Wright The show ended with a rare treat for Pacific Wrestling Showcase : a light heavyweight title match. Liger has proved to be a fighting champion, taking on all sorts of challengers, and tonight would be taking on the second generation rookie Das Wunderkind. Despite his arrogance, Wright had the skills to back it up, and went hold for hold and move for move with Liger. His overconfidence, however, proved to be his undoing. He thought he had Liger weakened enough for the German Suplex, only for Liger to reverse it into a Dragon Suplex and get the one two three. No secret as to why the champ is a big favorite with the fans.

Never forget the appearance of Russian hard rock group Gorky Park with Kerry Von Erich, or the fact that Dazed And Confused was set in Texas. I have no doubt that hard rock and heavy metal were as popular in Texas as it was anywhere else. Given the looks of a lot of the wrestlers in the Texas feds (The Von Erichs, the Simpsons, etc.) , I am sure Van Hammer could have gotten over.

Genichiro Tenryu is no longer on the PCW roster.

Pacific Coast Wrestling show from the Kelowna Memorial Arena, Kelowna, February 1st, 1991 David Cash & Chris Hamrick vs. Shane Helms & Mike Maverick The Serial Thrillaz came back from their earlier defeat, taking a very close match when they hit the Super Splash (Maverick climbs up to the second turnbuckle, Helms stands on Maverick's shoulders to hit a diving splash) on Cash. Too Cold Scorpio vs. Little Guido In his second match of the weekend, Guido gave a considerable battle to Scorpio before being pinned by a top rope flying sunset flip. Fastball (Bobby Horne & Robert Thompson) vs. The Oregon Wrecking Crew (Gary Albright & David Young) Despite an enthusiastic effort from Fastball, Albright got his team the victory with a Dragon Suplex on Thompson. Golden State Tag Team Title Match : The Force Of July (The Patriot & The Eagle) © vs. Scotty The Body & Stevie Richards Once again, Richards' cavorting and capering cost his team the match, leaving him prey to the Patriot Missile to give the win to the champs. Big Bully Busick & Shane Douglas vs. Rob Van Dam & Sabu The Hexagon pulled out the victory with the Rolling Thunder on Douglas. Pacific Light Heavyweight Title Match : Jushin Liger © vs. Bobby Eaton Beautiful Bobby certainly gave the champ a lot to handle, but Liger was able to take him down with a running palmstrike to the chin.

Pacific Coast Wrestling show from the Pacific Coliseum, Vancouver on Pacific Super Cards on ESPN / TSN , January 31st , 1991 The Thrillseekers vs. Stan Lane & Dennis Condrey This was a bit of an odd configuration for the Midnight Express, but that didn't stop them from having an intense battle with the Thrillseekers , with Condrey hitting an inverted DDT on Storm for the win. Big Vito vs. The Sandman Another furious brawl between the two that ended in a No Contest with both Cannonball Grizz and Little Guido getting involved. These two just plain don't like each other. Barry Windham vs. Fit Finlay A hard hitting and closely fought match that went to Windham when he was able to heft Finlay up in a Superplex. Pacific Submission Title Match : Toshiaki Kawada © vs. Steve Blackman Kawada held off a tough challenge from the former champ, forcing Blackman to tap out with a Stretch Plum. Pacific Tag Team Title Match : Iron & Steel (Tony Atlas & Larry Cameron) © vs. Coast 2 Coast (John Tatum & Jack Victory) Atlas and Cameron seemed a bit surprised with how much of a fight they got from the former champs, and the match wound up going to a 20 minute time limit draw. Pacific Heavyweight Title Chain Match : Bret Hart © vs. Ted Dibiase The proverbial claret was flowing nearly from the start when both men were busted open early. This was a long and brutal bout that ended with Bret wrapped the chain around his arm and levelled Dibiase with a second rope clothesline to put him down for good.

Pacific Wrestling Showcase from the Victoria Memorial Arena, Victoria, on ESPN / TSN, January 30th, 1991 Pierre Carl Ouellet vs. Michael Modest The arrival of the Serial Thrillaz and their alliance with Fit Finlay has brought them immediately into the rivalry with the Money Train. Michael Modest showed no fear as he engaged with the leader of the Train, not showing any intimidation at all. Finlay and the rest of the members of the Thrillaz and the Train were at ringside, but they kept on their respective sides, content to observe and give support. Modest gave PCO a pretty fierce battle, but the Fighting French Canadian outlasted him, putting him down with a package piledriver. While the Money Train cheered for their leader in his victory, Finlay and the Serial Thrillaz helped up Modest and the Belfast Bruiser said something to them in a low voice while they listened intently. Something tells me that it will be a bit of a different story when these two sides meet again. Little Guido vs. Brook Geraghty Ever since his arrival in PCW, Big Vito's cousin has earned a bit of a reputation as one of the busiest wrestlers on the West Coast. Appearing regularly in both tag team and singles matches, the Pugnacious Paisano has thrown himself into the heat of the action, not always coming out on top but gaining valuable experience. In this contest, he continued to show his impressive technical abilities, easily controlling Geraghty in a display of mat technique before finishing him off with the Sicilian Slice (legdrop Bulldog). Jim Cornette and Big Vito eagerly clapped him on the back and Guido looked ready to take on another opponent. Guido is certainly keen to make waves on the West Coast. Tommy Dreamver vs. Alex Wright Alex Wright has made a big impression of his own on Tommy Dreamer, but it definitely hasn't been a positive one . With his leering and suggestive looks to Trisa Hayes, Das Wunderkind has gotten under the skin of the Yonkers native. Wright's athleticism and technical skills stood him well in this match, but he kept making overtures to Hayes, which annoyed her and enraged Dreamer. A brutally hard forearm smash by Dreamer led to him unloading a flurry of offense on Wright, culminating in a DDT that got him the one two three on the young German. After the match, Dreamer wanted to inflict more punishment, but Hayes and Steven Regal quickly pulled him out of the ring. Tempers are not about to ease the longer this feud goes on. Bam Bam Bigelow vs. Stevie Richards Dancin' Stevie is eager to prove himself to his new Playboy Club allies, but he seems to keep getting in over his head. Coming out to "Holy Roller" by Mother Love Bone, he enthusiastically threw himself at Bigelow, landing some good looking shots. But eventually the Beast From The East had enough, and Bigelow proceeded to toss Richards from pillar to post, crushing him with a slingshot splash for the win. After the match, Tina Ferrari gave Scotty The Body a pointed look, but Scotty simply shrugged and put his arm around Stevie's shoulder as Richards headed back to the locker room, still trying to dance despite the pain. Chris Adams vs. Jon Palyok Adams has proved to be the proverbial snake in the grass of Pacific Coast Wrestling. Coming out of hiding to strike in his recent ambush of Bret Hart, then disappearing just as quickly , the English Gentleman has made his intentions clear that his is looking for a shot at the Hitman's title. He further cemented that claim by dishing out a vicious beating to the rookie Palyok, hammering him with a Superkick for the win. Hart is certainly not one to duck a challenger, so this is a matchup we are sure to see, sooner or later. Rick Martel vs. Chris Candido Candido has certainly done well for himself in his time in the Playboy Club, both in tag teams and as a singles competitor. He has drawn the ire of Rowdy Roddy Piper, and he might want to pay more heed to the target on his back. Candido gave a good account of himself against the Quebecois legend, but his concentration went right out the window when Piper showed up at ringside. Hot Rod did nothing but observe the match, but that was enough to distract Candido, who walked right into a running cross body by Martel that gave him the win. Candido was infuriated, but Piper simply shook his head before making his way to the back. Candido is going to have to learn to pay closer attention to the match in front of him.

Pacific Coast Wrestling Show from the UCSB Event Center, Santa Barbara, January 25th Pierre Carl Ouellet & The Money Train (David Cash, Jason Jett & Chris Hamrick) vs. Fit Finlay & The Serial Thrillaz (Shane Helms, Mike Maverick & Michael Modest) With this feud truly starting to catch fire, PCO rallied his troops and fought back, with Jett pinning Helms following the Crash Landing (rolling release suplex). Too Cold Scorpio vs. Little Guido Maritato Guido caught Scorpio with a Sunset Flip out of the corner, but Scorpio rolled through it and followed up with a double leg rollup to get the win. Fastback (Robert Thompson & Bobby Horne) vs. The Oregon Wrecking Crew (Gary Albright & David Young) Fastback brought the good times , but the OWC brought the aggression, and that spelled the difference as Young pinned Horne following the Spinebuster Slam. Sgt. Slaughter vs. Mike Awesome Slaughter and Awesome wound up both being counted out as they kept brawling around ringside, throwing everything they could grab at each other. Golden State Tag Team Title Match : The Force Of July (The Patriot & The Eagle) © vs. Coast 2 Coast (John Tatum & Jack Victory) A down and dirty fight that went to the champs when they were finally able to flatten Tatum with a double flying shoulder block. California Title Match : Shane Douglas © vs. Bobby Eaton Douglas held off a concerted challenge from Beautiful Bobby when he was able to pin Eaton with a top rope flying Sunset Flip.

Pacific Coast Wrestling show from the LA Sports Arena, Los Angeles, on Pacific Super Cards on ESPN / TSN, January 24th Steven Regal & Tommy Dreamer vs. Dean Malenko & Alex Wright Things were even more heated in this rematch from a couple of weeks ago, and Wright's harassment of Trisa Hayes didn't help things. He may well have regretted arousing the ire of Dreamer, given the ferocity of Dreamer's offense , leading to Wright being planted with a DDT . This scored the three count to Trisa's men, but this feud is just getting underway. Chris Jericho vs. Chris Adams Adams continued to stake his claim for a shot at the Pacific Heavyweight Title, taking down Jericho with a Superkick. The Sons Of The Beach (Cannonball Grizz & The Sandman) vs. Stormfront (Al Snow & Jerry Lynn) Stormfront attempted their usual corner cutting and cheap tactics, but the SoBs were having none of it, planting Snow with the Beach Break (stuff power bomb). Pacific Light Heavyweight Title Match : Jushin Liger © vs. Eddie Guerrero Light Heavyweight Title Matches tend to take place on the smaller market shows, but this one was given a showcase in LA. Liger and Guerrero took advantage of the spotlight to put on a full on classic, with a long match that ended with Liger flipping out of an attempt at a brainbuster, then countering with a Dragon Suplex for the win. Terry Gordy & Steve Williams vs. Ted Dibiase & Brian Lee In an evening of crazy matches, this one was pure havoc, with all four men in the ring for most of the match and the ref eventually declaring a no contest. 2/3 Falls Pacific Heavyweight Title Match : Bret Hart © vs. Dennis Condrey After several previous showdowns, Hart and Condrey would now face off in a 2/3 falls war. Knowing they would be going a long way, the match started slow, with both sides trying to find a weakness. They eventually opened up their offense more, and the match rapidly picked up momentum from there. Hart got the first fall with a diving clothesline. Condrey came back from that and started to grind the Hitman down, evening the score with an inverted DDT. That's when the two started taking more and more risks. Condrey tried to take out Hart with a running Bombs Away kneedrop, but Bret rolled away at the last second. He then locked him in the Sharpshooter, and Loverboy Dennis was forced to give up the match. The fans still had energy to enthusiastically cheer Bret as he raised the belt over his head.

Pacific Wrestling Showcase from the Olympic Auditorium , Los Angeles , on ESPN / TSN, January 23rd , 1991 David Cash vs. Big Vito LoGrasso Cash, like the other members of the Money Train, has been somewhat rattled by the emergence of the Serial Thrillaz in their feud with Fit Finlay. Nonetheless, Cash did his best to bear down and focus on his match with the Powerhouse Paisano, and was able to get his shots in and land some impressive moves. In the end, Vito, accompanied by his manager Jim Cornette and his cousin Little Guido, wore cash down and flattened him with the Sicilian Smash (running forearm smash to the face) for the win. A tough loss for Cash, but he still has more fierce battles ahead of him. Fastball (Robert Thompson & Bobby Horne) vs. Roger Sexton & Ryan Shoulders With their magnetic attitudes, it didn't take long for the Two Man Party to win over the hearts of the PCW fans. Dancing out to the ring with Tris Hayes to the sound of "Man On The Corner" by Urban Dance Squad, they eagerly shook hands and slapped palms with the audience before locking up with their opposition. Thompson and Horne were all over their opponents, tossing them about the ring before hitting the Fastball Special (Rocket Launcher) for the win. Fastball are clearly bringing good times to the West Coast. Steven Regal vs. Dean Malenko These two had several matches in 1990 with no decisive result. Malenko did get a recent win, but that was due to the interference of Alex Wright. Wright was at ringside for this match, along with the Sinister Minister, but they were balanced by the presence of Tommy Dreamer and Trisa Hayes in the corner of Regal. Hayes wound up drawing a lot of attention from Wright in a way she absolutely did not find flattering. Regal looked to be on the verge of taking the match when he had Malenko set up for the Regal Stretch, but Wright leapt into the ring and attacked him, causing the DQ. Dreamer soon followed, and after a brief tussle, the ref ordered them back to their locker rooms. A win for Regal, but a frustrating one. Brian Lee vs. Shawn Cohen The big Bulldozer has been one of the hottest prospects in PCW, starting out in the Brigade before abandoning them for the Playboy Club. Lee now finds himself a prized member of the Terror Collective, and Ted Dibiase was at ringside to watch his new acquisition dismantle Cohen. Lee didn't even break a sweat as he planted Cohen with the Prime Time Slam for the victory. The Man Of Means has clearly invested well. Pacific Television Title Match : Big Bully Busick © vs. Stan Lane Busick has prided himself on being a fighting champion, facing all challenges head on. His is currently looking towards a challenge from the Bombay Madman, Sabu. Tonight, though, we must cope with his former employer, Jim Cornette, who is sending Stan Lane after the Big Bully. The Man With Educated Feet certainly presented a fierce challenge, landing some hard kicks and shots on the champ. He seemed to be chipping away at Busick's defenses until the Bully exploded out of the blocks and took him down with a crushing tackle. He then hit a series of power moves before flattening Lane with his devastating Spinebuster Slam for the win. An important victory, but he can't rest on his laurels, not with Sabu hot on his trail. Roddy Piper vs. Chris Candido Candido certainly didn't appreciate being called out by Piper a few weeks ago , and came out swinging when the Hot Scot entered the ring. This was a wild and tumultuous brawl, with scarcely any technical holds or moved to be seen until Candido dove into Piper when he was in the corner. Piper ducked out of the way at the last second, sending Candido face first into the turnbuckle. Piper followed up with a belly to back suplex that barely held Candido's shoulders down for the three count. Piper got the win, but Candido came after him after the bell and the two kept slugging it out down the aisle all the way back to the locker room. Piper may not have swayed Candido to his way of thinking, but he has definitely lit a fire under the New Jersey native.

Pacific Coast Wrestling show from the Selland Arena, Fresno, January 18th 1991 The Eagle vs. John Tatum Hollywood John took down the Eagle with the California Kick. Too Cold Scorpio vs. Little Guido Maritato Scorpio put young Guido through his paces, coming out on top in a battle of rollups for the win. Steven Regal vs. Alex Wright Das Wunderkind seemed to give a lot of attention to Trisa Hayes, greatly annoying both her and Regal. The English Lion was able to put him away with the Regal-Plex, but one gets the feeling he wished he could do more damage to the German rookie. Chris Hamrick vs. Michael Modest Modest closed out a busy but successful weekend by defeating Hamrick with the Reality Check (over the shoulder belly to back piledriver). Non-Title Match : Bam Bam Bigelow vs. Toshiaki Kawada In something of a surprising result, Kawada knocked out Bigelow with the Gamengiri for the win. Pacific Light Heavyweight Title Match : Jushin Liger © vs. The Lightning Kid The weekend closed out with a spectacular Light Heavyweight title match, with Liger coming out on top following a top rope Frankensteiner.

Pacific Coast Wrestling show from the Cow Palace , San Francisco, on Pacific Super Cards on ESPN / TSN, January 17th 1991 The Patriot vs. Jack Victory The Patriot was able to take down The Big V with a flying shoulder block. Steve Williams vs. Brian Lee Dr. Death squared off with the newest member of the Terror Collective, looking to get revenge for the ambush last week. Once again, the Collective could not keep it one on one, with Ted Dibiase interfering and causing the DQ. As Dibiase and Lee double teamed Williams, someone ran out to the ring swinging a chair. It was Terry Gordy! Lee and Dibiase scattered as Gordy and Williams stood tall in the ring. Gordy had taken time off to tend to his injuries, but now he is back, and the Terror Collective will have to deal with the Miracle Violence Connection at full strength. Pierre Carl Ouellet, David Cash & Jason Jett vs. Fit Finlay & The Serial Thrillaz Out of nowhere, the Serial Thrillaz have eagerly leapt into the fray and joined Finlay in his feud with PCO and the Money Train. With Finlay and PCO running their respective sides, this was a long match with a lot of big moves that ended with the Thrillaz pinning Jett with the Thrill Killer (Mike Maverick Gorilla Press slams Shane Helms onto a prone opponent). Roddy Piper vs. Chris Candido With Candido seeking to prove himself, this was a crazy brawl that ended in a double countout, with both men slugging it out at ringside. Big Bully Busick & Shane Douglas vs. Rob Van Dam & Sabu As crazy a match as you can imagine that went to Sabu when he and Van Dam hit the Rolling Thunder on Shane. Pacific Tag Team Title Match : Iron & Steel (Tony Atlas & Larry Cameron) © vs. The Oregon Wrecking Crew (David Young & Gary Albright) A hard hitting match with the champs successfully defending their titles after a Spike Piledriver on Young.

Pacific Wrestling Showcase from the Oakland Alameda County Arena, Oakland, on ESPN / TSN, January 16th, 1991 Fastball (Robert Thompson & Bobby Horne) vs. Scotty The Body & Stevie Richards This would be Scotty's first teaming with his new apprentice Stevie Richards , taking on the Two Man Party of Fastball. Richards came dancing out to "Holy Roller" by Mother Love Bone, and kept on busting a move to Fastball's music " Man On The Corner" by Urban Dance Squad. Scotty tried to get Richards to maintain a more professional demeanor in the ring, which was at least better than the look of sheer disgust that Tina Ferrari was giving the Dancing Fool. Scotty had his work cut out for him, as Richards kept on winking and grinning at Fastball's manager Trisa Hayes, who responded by looking at Richards as though he was something that crawled out from under the fridge. Richards did get off some good moves, but ended up flattened by a jarring DDT by Horne that gave the match to Fastball. Scotty was clearly encouraging Richards as they left the ring, but Tina could be heard muttering, "I knew this was a bad idea." Michael Modest vs. Robb Zbacnik No surprise after last week that Modest came out accompanied by not just the other Serial Thrillaz but also Fit Finlay. The Belfast Bruiser is clearly taking the Thrillaz under his wing, giving the equalizer he needs in his feud with PCO and the Money Train while molding them to his methods. Modest showed admirable technical abilities for such a young wrestler, but was now adding an edge of viciousness that showed the influence of Finlay. Modest pinned Zbacnik with a Fisherman Suplex, and the rest of the Serial Thrillaz joined him in standing over his prone opponent. Finlay seemed to be falling behind in his feud, but this move has definitely put him back in the game. Tommy Dreamer vs. Chris Adams Adams is a wrestler with ambitions, determined to guide the League Of Gentlemen to the top of PCW. He was facing keen opposition in Tommy Dreamer, and , while the former Dreamboat gave him a lot to handle, the Superkick scored another victory for the Englishman. Adams is clearly dead set on rocketing himself to the number one contender's position. The FBI vs. Ryan Aiken & Daniel Lue Although Little Guido may not look like the typical PCW wrestler, his cousin Big Vito clearly takes considerable pride in his first steps in his wrestling career. The two paisanos completely dominated Aiken and Lue, and it was Guido who forced Lue to tap out to the Sicilian Necktie (guillotine choke), all while Jim Cornette gloated from ringside. The Louisville Lip may well be right to gloat, as between the FBI and the Midnight Express, he finds himself with a Royal Flush in his hands. Dan Severn vs. Jerry Lynn The split between Stormfront and their past colleagues continues to not be amicable. Al Snow and Jerry Lynn continue to scrap with their former friends, and continue to flaunt their disinterest in following any rules. Snow was at ringside for this match, taking the occasional potshot at Severn, leading to Steve Blackman coming out to watch his friend's back. Severn managed to get Lynn down after a takeover suplex, but Snow broke up the pin by diving into the ring and attacking the Beast. Blackman immediately entered the ring, but Stormfront ran off, cackling all the way to the back. A DQ win for the Citadel, but I don't think that is going to satisfy either side. Non-Title Match : Bret Hart & The Thrillseekers vs. The Midnight Express This match would not be for the Express' Trios Titles, but was still highly anticipated, particularly after Condrey went the distance with the champ last week. Bret Hart was certainly out to put down the challenge of "Loverboy" Dennis, no matter what type of match it is in. There were certainly some merciless exchanges between Bret and Condrey, along with spectacular tag team action between the Thrillseekers and the other Midnights. But things took quite a turn when Bret Hart was attempting to put the Sharpshooter on Condrey. While Storm and Jericho held off Eaton and Lane, Chris Adams snuck into the ring and blasted Hart in the back of the head with a Superkick. As Adams scarpered from the ring, Condrey pulled up Hart and hit the Full Nelson Facebuster for the three count. It looks like Adams doesn't want to wait in line for his shot at the Hitman, but Condrey is still going to face Hart first.

I hope that is alright, I thought it was too great an idea to let die.

Pacific Coast Wrestling show from McArthur Court, Eugene, January 11th David Cash & Jason Jett vs. The Serial Thrillaz Even though they had Pierre Carl Ouellet in their corner, Cash and Jett showed concern when they saw that the Thrillaz were backed up by not just Michael Modest but also Fit Finlay. Finlay and Modest closely observed the match and conversed with each other, and , while the decision went to the Money Train when Cash hit a Fisherman Suplex on Helms, the Thrillaz were deep in conversation with Finlay as they left the ring. It looks like Finlay has found his equalizers. Too Cold Scorpio vs. Little Guido Maritato Guido mixed in some more brawling with his matwork this time out, but Scorpio still came out on top with a Sunset Flip. Fastball (Robert Thompson & Bobby Horne) vs. Coast 2 Coast (John Tatum & Jack Victory) Fastball gave it a good go, but Coast 2 Coast showed the value of experience when they took down Thompson with the Coastal Crash (California Kick into the Victory Plex). Chris Hamrick vs. Chris Adams Despite an enthusiastic effort from Hamrick, Adams kept control of the match and proved victorious with the Superkick. The Thunder Dragons (Jushin Liger & Ultimo Dragon) vs. Eddie Guerrero & The Lightning Kid The Thunder Dragons came roaring back from the previous week's loss when Liger pinned Lighting Kid following a sheer fall brainbuster. California Title Match : Shane Douglas © vs. Al Snow Snow snuck in every cheap shot he could and came close on a number of occasions but Douglas came out on top with a Belly To Belly Suplex.

Pacific Coast Wrestling show from the Portland Memorial Coliseum , Portland , on Pacific Super Cards on ESPN / TSN, January 10th Steve Blackman vs. Jerry Lynn Al Snow snuck into the ring and hit a low blow from behind on Blackman, leaving him vulnerable to a package piledriver that gave the win to Lynn. Steven Regal & Tommy Dreamer vs. Dean Malenko & Alex Wright As one could imagine based on recent events, this was an intense and bitterly contested bout that ended when Wright pinned Dreamer with the German Suplex. Steve Williams vs. Ted Dibiase Williams was in the middle of cranking in a chinlock on Dibiase when someone ambushed him from behind. It was Brian Lee! Now it was clear that it was the Man Of Means who purchased his contract from the Playboy Club. While the ref called for the DQ, the two men attacked and bloodied Dr. Death before they finally headed back to the locker room. Bam Bam Bigelow vs. Toshiaki Kawada The Submission Title was not on the line in this match, but Bigelow was aiming to bounce back after his loss to Chris Adams at New Years Celebration. He certainly gave a good accounting of himself, but Kawada outlasted him when, in a surprising show of strength, pinned the Beast From The East with a folding power bomb. Pacific Television Title Match : Big Bully Busick © vs. Chris Candido Candido proved a game challenger for the Big Bully, but when Busick caught him in the Spinebuster Slam, that was it. Pacific Heavyweight Title Match : Bret Hart © vs. Dennis Condrey Condrey was coming off a long reign as the California champ, and he was absolutely gunning hard for the big belt, taking the Hitman to a 30 minute time limit draw.

Pacific Wrestling Showcase from the Portland Sports Arena, Portland , on ESPN / TSN, January 9th Ultimo Dragon vs. John Raymond The newly renamed Ultimo Dragon has been one of the highlights of the Light Heavyweight division ever since his arrival on the West Coast. In this match, he had complete mastery of the rookie Raymond , easily controlling a matwork sequence and wrapping him up in La Magistral for the three count. Dragon has not lost a step since losing the Light Heavyweight title, and is always ready to go to battle in the ever increasingly competitive division. The Sons Of The Beach (Cannonball Grizz & The Sandman) vs. The FBI (Big Vito Lograsso & Little Guido Maritato) Last week, the simmering feud between the Sandman and Big Vito brought their partners into the fray, and it now looks to be heading towards a full boil. The two sides faced off in a fierce battle that nominally ended when the Sandman pinned Guido following a piledriver, but both sides looked ready to keep the fight going if it wasn't for Peaches and Jim Cornette ordering their troops to withdraw. Clearly, this war has only just begun. Fit Finlay vs. Michael Modest For the last while, the Belfast Bruiser has found himself stymied on all sides by Pierre Carl Ouellet and the Money Train. This has left him with considerable built up aggression. He was looking to take out his frustration on Modest, but the member of the Serial Thrillaz was having none of it. Modest stood his ground, matching Finlay shot for shot. Any time Finlay attempted to put him in the Celtic Knot, Modest tore his way out of it. Finlay got Modest trapped in the corner and started hammering him with punches and elbow smashes, bloodying his nose. Modest's only response was a defiant sneer. This provoked an unusual reaction from Finlay : a sinister grin. The longer Modest prolonged the battle , the more the rictus on Finlay's face broadened. The Fighting Irishman put an end to things with a Tombstone piledriver, but the moment he got the three count, he got to his feet and dragged Modest to a standing position. He slapped Modest's face, shook him by the shoulders, then said something in his ear. Whatever it was he said, Modest's reaction was stone faced silence … then a slow nod. The two combatants left the ring together. Oh, dear … Interview : Don Coss stands in the Crow's Nest Coss : Ladies and gentlemen, my next guests are big favorites of themselves … the Playboy Club. The crowd jeers as Buddy Rose, Tina Ferrari, Chris Candido and Scotty The Body walk out. They are all in good spirits, apart from the rather somber Scotty. Coss : Well, Playboy, you don't seem to have made any progress since we last spoke, either in finding a new purpose for Scotty or in filling the hole in your ranks. Rose : Oh, for the love of Pete, Coss! It's not even been two weeks! Scotty knows he is on the journey of a thousand miles that begins with a single step. The answer isn't just going to appear out of the blue. And as for our membership … well, we have out pick of pretty much anyone in Pacific Coast Wrestling. Everyone know we are the premiere faction on the West Coast, and sooner or later, the ideal prospect will just walk right in … As if on cue, Rose is cut off by "Cherry Pie" by Warrant playing over the arena PA. Stevie Richards comes dancing down to the Crow's Nest. Rose, Ferrari and Candido look annoyed, but Scotty, for the first time in a while, looks intrigued. Richards : Ask you shall receive, Mister Playboy Sir! You want hot young talent for the Club? Well, they don't come hotter than Dancin' Stevie! Get ready to boogie , as only they Playboy Club can, once you accept me into your esteemed ranks! Rose : Kid, kid, kid … this is not the way it is done! We have an important scouting procedure to fulfill … tests to be run, papers to be filled out . You understand, of course, so you can just make your way … Richards : Oh, please, please, please, please! I can give you so much. I am in my prime and ready to go in the ring. And everyone knows that the Playboy Club is the biggest party in the PCW. I can bring so much to the party, all of the hip sounds of today : Warrant, Winger, Poison, BulletBoys, Motley Crue … Scotty : Excuse me? That Glam Metal stuff is yesterday's news. It's a new decade, and you are in the Pacific Northwest, ground Zero for the music of the next age : Mudhoney, Soundgarden, the Wipers, Screaming Trees, Dharma Bums, Alice in Chains, Mother Love Bone … Richards : Mother Love Bone? I love that song, "Holy Roller"! Scotty : Yeah, it's a shame what happened to Andrew Wood. But I heard they may be getting back … Rose : What Scotty is trying to say, in his roundabout way, is that you need perhaps a bit more seasoning before we can consider your application. Come back to us in, say, one to two years, and we may … Scotty : No, wait a second. Sure, this guy may come on like a clueless putz, but he may well be a blessing in disguise. Tina : *muttering* It's a very good disguise. Scotty : I'm serious . You know I've been looking for some new purpose. Dancin' Stevie could be it. I see a lot of potential beneath the unlikely surface. I think I can help shape him up into Playboy Club material. Boss, just give me this one thing. Rose : Well, Scotty, you certainly have earned it. Alright, you want a pet, you've got it. But if he messes on the carpet, it's up to you to clean it up. Mike Awesome vs. Jed Hildebrand Mike Awesome has justly earned a reputation as a nigh unstoppable wrecking machine, having scored plentiful victories in his career in Pacific Coast Wrestling, With a feud bubbling up with Sgt. Slaughter, Awesome used this match as an opportunity for a show of strength, or perhaps simply brutality. Awesome beat and battered poor Hildebrand before folding him in half with the Awesome Bomb. He may be on the verge of facing a legend in the form of Sgt. Slaughter, but he is certainly brining plenty of his own to that battle. The Thrillseekers vs. The Midnight Express At the New Years Celebration, the Thrillseekers pulled out a major upset by defeating the Midnight Express. Jim Cornette and his men were not about to let that go without a response, so this rematch was signed. This match was in high gear right from the get go, and neither team relented for one second throughout the match. It looked like it would be two in a row when Jericho went up top for a Missile Dropkick on Lane, only for Cornette to get on the ring apron and shove him to the floor. By the time he staggered to his feet, Jericho wandered right into a Savate kick from Lane and, with Eaton blocking Storm, the Midnights got their revenge victory. They might have got their win back, but I doubt the Thrillseekers will let it go at that. Pacific Television Title Match : Big Bully Busick © vs. Sabu The evening ended off with something that was, technically speaking, a match, but on barely. Sabu had challenged for Busick's TV title before, but those attempts were nothing compared to this effort from the Bombay Madman. Busick's considerable power and toughness was enough to hold off the assault from Sabu, but that just inspired the challenger to start throwing everything at him but the kitchen sink. In fact, when Sabu did throw a metal chair at the Man From Powerhouse Hill, the ref finally gave in and called for the DQ. This just gave the clearance for Rob Van Dam to charge into the ring, followed quickly by Shane Douglas to have his good friend Busick's back. This brawl was brief as PCW security were hot on their tails to put out this proverbial fire, but it is certain to ignite again. Batten down the hatches, folks, it is going to be a bumpy ride.

Loving the Bunkhouse Boys and loving the new Heavenly Bodies as new champs. Let's see how Tommy Jammer does outside of the influence of the Vin Man. Hogan should know better to cover all the angles when dealing with the dirtiest player in the game.

All sounds good by me.
