Pacific Coast Wrestling show from the Kelowna Memorial Arena, Kelowna, October 6th The Dreamboats (Tommy Dreamer & Glamour Boy Shane) vs. The Southern Boys The Dreamboats came out strong and ultimately prevailed over the former champs, with Shane defeating Armstrong with a swinging neckbreaker. Dragon Azul vs. Reno Riggins The masked Dragon came out on top over the Sin City Superstar after landing the Asai Moonsault. Dan Severn & Steve Blackman vs. Genichiro Tenryu & Masahiro Chono Another technical classic, with the students following the lead of their mentors and Blackman defeating Chono with the Running Bicycle Kick. Golden State Tag Team Title Match : The Midnight Express © vs The Suicide Blondes (Chris Candido & Louie Spicolli) This was a much more chaotic match than the previous one, with the Blondes cheating just as much as the Midnights and Lane resorting to a tennis racquet shot to the back of Spicolli's head to steal the victory. Brian Pillman vs. Big Juice Flyin' Brian got his second win of the weekend, hitting the Air Pillman on the Juice Crew member and scoring the three count. Pacific Light Heavyweight Title Match : Scotty The Body © vs. Jerry Lynn The weekend closed out with a Light Heavyweight duel, with Lynn coming very close on several occasions to take the title, only for a duel of rollups to be stolen by Scotty with his feet on the corner ropes.

Pacific Coast Wrestling show from the Pacific Coliseum, Vancouver on Pacific Super Cards on ESPN / TSN , October 5th Steven Regal & Shane Douglas vs. Dennis Condrey & Fit Finlay With the Tournament Of Lions Finals coming up next week, all four Semi-Finalists squared off in a rollicking tag team match. There were some hard hitting exchanges between Finalists Regal and Condrey, it wound up being Douglas whose shoulders were pinned to the mat, courtesy of a DDT from Condrey. Eddie Guerrero vs. Chris Adams Coming back after his loss to Bret Hart the night before, Adams took on a game Eddie Guerrero and withstood his offense to land the Superkick and get the win. Scott Hall vs. Mark Starr Hall was clearly thinking of Starr's Playboy Club partner Mike Awesome as he steamrolled over the Sin City Superstar, beating him with the Niagara Driver. Dustin Rhodes vs. Mike Awesome Rhodes recent rally and string of wins came to an end when, despite a valiant effort, he was crushed by the Awesome Bomb. Pacific Tag Team Title Match : Phoenix Rising (Toshiaki Kawada & Kensuke Sasaki) © vs. The Destruction Crew As they did last week, the popular Japanese team successfully defended their titles against the former champs, with Sasaki forcing Bloom to tap out to the Strangle Hold Gamma. Pacific Heavyweight Title Match : Ricky Steamboat © vs. Buddy Rose The Playboy pulled out everything in his considerable bag of tricks, including some well timed interference from Tina Ferrari, taking the Dragon to the limit in a 30 minute time limit draw.

Pacific Wrestling Showcase from the Victoria Memorial Arena, Victoria, on ESPN / TSN, October 4th Wings Of Fire (Vic Steamboat & The Eagle) vs. The Oregon Wrecking Crew (Gary Albright & David Young) Both of these teams are familiar with being brought into someone else's war. Wings Of Fire have found themselves targets in Ricky Steamboat's feud with the Sinister Ministry, while the OWC are taking point in the Terror Collective's battles with the Brigade. Both teams seemed on an equal level as they battled back and forth. Then, out of nowhere, the OWC kicked it into another gear, with Albright crushing Vic with a series of devastating suplexes. He then whipped him into Young for the trademark Spinebuster Slam for the win. The original Trio of the Collective may get the most attention, the Oregon Wrecking Crew are certainly making a name for themselves. Cactus Jack vs. Larry Cameron Well, it seems like it just wouldn't be a PCW show these days without at least one match devolving into a complete schmozz outside the ring with other parties getting involved. With both Tony Atlas and Steven Regal making their presence felt, Cameron got knocked outside by the Cactus Jack, then a dive by the Man From Truth Or Consequences resulted in all 4 men in a pile and a double countout finish. Somebody, go check Dutch Savage's blood pressure. Brian Pillman vs. Erin O'Grady Perhaps as something of a reaction to the previous match, this one provided solid exciting in ring action. The always pugnacious Leprechaun got a lot of good shots and moves in on Flyin' Brian, but Pillman was on top form and hit a spectacular top rope missile dropkick to get the win. Stormfront (Al Snow & Alex Porteau) vs. The Miracle Violence Combination While the OWC are coming into their own, their Terror Collective brethren the MVC are on a rampage of absolute dominance. Nothing Snow and Porteau did made the slightest dent in Gordy and Williams, and when Gordy jammed Porteau's head into the match with a brutal piledrive, it was all over. Pretty much business as usual for the Terror Collective. Bret Hart vs. Chris Adams While Hart has been mostly focused on his former pupil Steve Austin, Austin's Diamond Exchange partner Chris Adams has been right in the thick of things as well. Adams was relentless in going after the Hitman, and it was all Bret could do to stay out of range of Adams' dangerous Superkick. Adams fought off every attempt at the Sharpshooter, and it was only a mistimed attempt at a Superkick that allowed Hart to sneak in a single arm rollup and just barely get the three count. It was close, but the Hitman was able to pull out the win.

Big fan of the 1990 match between the Rockers and the PoP , can't see how this feud turns out.

That tag match is super intriguing. Top match for me would be Shamrock against my guy Volk Han.

I would have loved to have seen Ronnie Garvin dance.

Pacific Coast Wrestling Show from the UCSB Event Center, Santa Barbara, September 29th Alex Porteau vs. Mike Awesome Another dominant victory by Mike Awesome with the Awesome Bomb. Cactus Jack vs. Mark Starr Cactus was able to overcome the Sin City Superstar by hitting a Double Arm DDT Al Snow vs. Buddy Rose Snow put in a determined effort against the Playboy and did quite well until Rose lured him into the Inside Out Backbreaker Dean Malenko & Eddie Guerrero vs. The Can-Am Express This match was something of a shock, as not long ago Malenko and Guerrero had been feuding with each other, exchanging the Submission and Light Heavyweight titles in some legendary matches. Living up to the legend, they had a gripping match with the former Pacific Tag Team champs, going to a 30 minute time limit draw. The Dreamboats (Tommy Dreamer & Glamour Boy Shane) & Jerry Lynn vs. The Midnight Express & Big Bully Busick The highlights of this match were the clear tension between Jim Cornette and his Bodyguard Busick, and the feud between the Dreamboats and the Midnights. The Dreamboats were able to score the victory with Dreamer pinning Eaton following the Tomikaze. Pacific Light Heavyweight Title Match : Scotty The Body © vs. Erin O'Grady Once again, it fell to the Light Heavyweights to close out the show, and they did not disappoint. Scotty came out on top as he caught the Leprechaun attempting a flying back body press and turned it around into a Tombstone Piledriver.

Pacific Coast Wrestling show from the LA Sports Arena, Los Angeles, on Pacific Super Cards on ESPN / TSN, September 28th The Suicide Blondes (Chris Candido & Louie Spicolli) vs. The Southern Boys The Blondes continued to sink into more dirty tactics, but the Southern Boys still came out on top when a low blow from Smothers on Spicolli set up a Bulldog Headlock from Armstrong. Dustin Rhodes vs. Reno Riggins In a match that was thankfully free of outside interference, Dustin defeated the Sin City Superstar with an inverted DDT. Brian Pillman vs. Chris Adams Another fast paced battle between these two that Pillman won with a top rope flying Sunset Flip. Barry Windham & Scott Hall vs. The Miracle Violence Combination The Brigade did all they could to put a stop to the Terror Collective, but the MVC still overpowered them when Gordy took Hall down with a Spike Piledriver. Pacific Tag Team Title Match : Phoenix Rising (Toshiaki Kawada & Kensuke Sasaki) © vs. The Destruction Crew The young Japanese team fended off the challenge from the former champions with Kawada hit a Brainbuster on Enos. Pacific Heavyweight Title Match : Ricky Steamboat © vs. Steve Austin The show finished off with a blazing hot match with the Dragon defending against the former California champ. Austin went at it hard and gave it everything he had, but Steamboat was able to shut down an attempted Stun Gun and then follow up with a single arm roll up to successfully defend his title.

Pacific Wrestling Showcase from the Olympic Auditorium , Los Angeles , on ESPN / TSN, September 27th Brian Lee vs. Joel Anderson Lately, Brian Lee has been showing signs of frustration with the Brigade's lack of progress in their feud with the Terror Collective, in particular bristling with Dustin Rhodes' performance in their matches. Getting out of that environment for the moment, Lee made quite a statement with the rookie Anderson. The Bulldozer stormed the ring, booted Anderson in the midsection and planted him with the Prime Time Slam, dispatching him within a few seconds. Hopefully he can direct this energy in a way that get his momentum going, because he clearly has a lot of talent. Stormfront (Al Snow & Alex Porteau) vs. Iron & Steel (Tony Atlas & Larry Cameron) This match never even got out of the starting blocks. As Stormfront were heading out to the ring, they were waylaid by the Sin City Superstars , and the two teams brawled back to the locker room as Iron & Steel looked annoyed and the ref made the countout. Commissioner Dutch Savage is undoubtedly taking notes somewhere. Tournament Of Lions Semi-Final Match : Steven Regal vs. Fit Finlay After a very quick match and a match that never got started, the crowd were getting a bit restless, but their patience would be repaid with the next match in the Tournament Of Lions. The California and Submission champs gave them a long and hard hitting match, holding nothing back as they battled to move on in the tournament. Despite some jarring shots from Finlay, Regal was able to wear him down until he came off the ropes and clocked him with the Iron Fist Punch. The Englishman scored the three count to become the first finalist in the tournament. Billy Gunn vs. Ted Dibiase Dibiase has led the Terror Collective to dominant showings over the Brigade, and now seems to have broadened his scope to take an interest in Pacific Heavyweight Champion Ricky Steamboat. All the same, Billy Gunn is not somebody to look past, and the lanky Texan gave the Man On Means quite a fight. Dibiase was still able to pull out the win with a powerslam off the ropes, but Gunn certainly proved he was not someone to look past. Wings Of Fire (Vic Steamboat & The Eagle) vs. The Juice Crew (Beetlejuice & Big Juice) This tag match was at least able to get started, but there was definitely the scent of chaos in the air. The ref struggled to maintain control, with all four men in the ring at many points as well as the Sinister Minister getting involved. Both members of Wings Of Fire had been targets in the past few weeks of the Jackal and the rest of the Sinister Ministry, and were hungry for some measure of payback. They must have gotten some satisfaction when the Eagle was able to hit the Screaming Eagle (top rope missile dropkick) on Big Juice to grab the victory for his team. Tournament Of Lions Semi-Final Match : Shane Douglas vs. Dennis Condrey The evening closed out with the last match in the Tournament Semi-Finals and it would be a barn burner. Douglas' hatred of all of Jim Cornette's men has been made clear over the past few months, stemming from what Douglas feels as Cornette's manipulation of his former friend Big Bully Busick, and Cornette has made it clear that he doesn't think any better of Douglas. "Loverboy" Dennis has been doing a sterling job as Cornette's point man since his return and really took it to Douglas, and Douglas was just as fierce in trying to take Condrey down. It looked like the young star would pull off the upset when he nearly hit the belly to belly suplex. Condrey shut that down with a nasty forearm shot to the face, then hit a Full Nelson Facebuster and score the one two three. The Tournament Of Lions Finals for two weeks in Portland were now set : Steven Regal would square off with Dennis Condrey.

Hot times coming to Brew City! The main event and War Games are sure to make for a great show.

Pacific Coast Wrestling show from the Selland Arena, Fresno, September 22nd Cactus Jack vs. Mike Awesome Cactus was able to hold his own against the monstrous Awesome until Tony Atlas and Larry Cameron snuck into the ring and flattened him with a double shoulder tackle. Awesome put his foot on Cactus to get the three count, but seemed irked at this unwanted interference in his match. Brian Pillman vs. Eddie Guerrero These two had a dynamic, high flying match where Flyin' Brian came out on top with the Air Pillman. The Destruction Crew vs. Iron & Steel (Tony Atlas & Larry Cameron) This battle of the bullies came to a messy end when Cactus Jack rushed in with a chair to attack Atlas and Cameron, giving them the win by DQ. The Suicide Blondes (Chris Candido & Louie Spicolli) vs. The Can-Am Express The Blondes continued their drift into shady behaviour, pulling out some unsavory tactics in this match against the former Pacific Tag Team Champs. It would not be enough against the Express, with Furnas pinning Spicolli with a bridging German Suplex. California Championship Match : Steven Regal © vs. Steve Austin Before the match, a furious Commissioner Dutch Savage came out with a squad of PCW security officials, stating that if Iron & Steel, Cactus Jack or Bret Hart were to come out at all during this match, they would be immediately be suspended for two weeks without pay. Even with this stern warning, Savage's hard line attitude didn't seem to make much of an impression on Austin, who left the ring during the match to try to grab a chair. He got in a tug of war with a security official, and was unprepared with Regal came out and nailed him with a spinning forearm smash to the face. He then pulled Austin into the ring and got the win with a Regal-Plex. Pacific Light Heavyweight Title Match : Scotty The Body © vs. Jerry Lynn After all of the shenanigans of the show so far, the Light Heavyweights closed out the night with a technical match. Surprisingly, the always confident Scotty kept things clean and held off a game Lynn with the Body Shot (DDT).

Pacific Coast Wrestling show from the Cow Palace , San Francisco, on Pacific Super Cards on ESPN / TSN, September 21st Maxx Payne vs. Terry Gordy The Man From Badstreet dominated Maxx Payne, pinning him following a Power Bomb The Dreamboats (Tommy Dreamer & Glamour Boy Shane) vs. The Southern Boys The Dreamboats kept their momentum going with Shane pinned Armstrong following the Glamour Profession (top rope diving elbow smash) Alex Porteau vs. Buddy Rose All of the good behaviour from the Sin City Superstars and Stormfront went out the window when Snow and the Superstars came out during this match to make their presence felt. Tina Ferrari interposed herself between the two sides to keep things from going further, and Rose capitalized on the distraction to hit the Inside Out Backbreaker for the win. Nevertheless , The Playboy was clearly displeased as he left the ring. Dean Malenko vs. Ted Dibiase As if to prove a point, Dibiase wrestled a purely scientific match, resulting in a gripping back and forth match that the "Man Of Means" won by pinning Malenko following a Russian Legsweep. Pacific Tag Team Title Match : Phoenix Rising (Kensuke Sasaki & Toshiaki Kawada) © vs. The Midnight Express The Pacific and Golden State champs provided an epic thrill ride that went to a 30 minute time limit draw . Pacific Heavyweight Title Match : Ricky Steamboat © vs. David Young Having impressed many with his efforts in his challenge the week before, Young was given a rematch against the champ tonight. Once again, the rest of the Terror Collective were at ringside but took no hand directly in the match. Young once again put in a determined effort but went down to the Diving Crossbody. Another big win for the Dragon, but Dibiase's smirk as he led his men away from the ring was definitely a dark omen.

Pacific Wrestling Showcase from the Oakland Alameda County Arena, Oakland, on ESPN / TSN, September 20th Tournament Of Lions Quarter-Final Match : Steven Regal vs. Mark Starr The Tournament Of Lions Quarter-Finals kicked off with two British wrestlers squaring off. The two took it to the mat for much of the match, with Regal fighting his way out of every attempt by Starr to catch him in the Heel Hook. The California Champ was ultimately able to overpower the Sin City Superstar and cinch in the Regal Stretch to win a hotly contested match, one with fortunately no appearance by Reno Riggins or the members of Stormfront. Tournament Of Lions Quarter-Final Match : Steve Blackman vs. Fit Finlay The next match in the Tournament saw a bit of a switch in tactics, with the deadly striker Blackman going for takedowns and armlocks, while the Pacific Submission Champ hitting hard and often. Blackman came close on a number of occasions, but Finlay dropping him on the head with a Tombstone Piledriver earned the Belfast Bruiser a spot in the Final Four. Brian Lee & Dustin Rhodes vs. The Juice Crew (Beetlejuice & Big Juice) Young Dustin hasn't been faring too well lately against the Terror Collective, and it would remain to be seen if a change of scenery would provide a change of fortune. It wasn't looking too good for Dustin as the Juice Crew capitalized on his flagging confidence and double teaming him throughout the match. Dustin rallied, though, and was able to flatten Big Juice with a Western Lariat. It was at this point that Brian Lee, who had been looking annoyed on the ring apron through much of the match, tagged himself in. He planted Big Juice with the Prime Time Slam and got the three count. Regardless, Dustin was able to get back on the winning track. Tournament Of Lions Quarter-Final Match : Al Snow vs. Dennis Condrey The Tournament continued with this match and, once again, Alex Porteau and the Sin City Superstars kept their noses out of it. Snow put in a determined effort and the action kept both competitors and the fans on their toes. In the end, Condrey's impressive return to the West Coast continued and he took Snow down with a DDT and step into the Semi-Finals. Tournament Of Lions Quarter-Final Match : Shane Douglas vs. Erin O'Grady The Quarter-Finals closed out with this match between two young and hungry gladiators. O'Grady had pulled off a considerable upset by defeating Dragon Azul, and was eager to pull out another upset. This eagerness would ultimately cost the Leprechaun, as he ran straight into a Belly To Belly suplex from Douglas and that was that. Douglas would fill the last spot in the Final Four, which also consisted of Steven Regal, Fit Finlay and Dennis Condrey. Pacific Television Title Match : Shinya Hashimoto © vs. Chris Adams Since winning the TV Title a few weeks ago, Hashimoto has wasted no time in earning a reputation as a fighting champion. He has taken on some incredibly tough challengers, and none tougher than "Gentleman" Chris Adams. The Englishman really took it to the Japanese star, and the sound of their kicks and shots resonated throughout the arena. Although Adams gave quite a battle to the champ, but Hashimoto knocked him over with a spinning back heel kick, then drove him down with a Brainbuster to successfully defend his title.

Not sure which makes for a more dangerous partnership, Savage and Boss Man or Slick and Paul E.

More trouble between Race and Dillon is never a good thing to have when facing the Hands Of Stone.

Gotta be excited for War Games. That tornado tag is going to be just insane!

Pacific Coast Wrestling show from McArthur Court, Eugene, September 15th Steve Blackman vs. Masahiro Chono Both men kept their tempers in check and put on another gripping match, with Blackman forcing Chono to tap out with a Cross Armbreaker. Jerry Lynn vs. Big Bully Busick A rough weekend for Lynn, as he went down to the Big Bully and his dreaded Spinebuster Slam. Billy Gunn vs. Mark Starr The tall Texan was able to get one in the win column as he took down Starr with the Sidewinder (spinning Side Suplex) Brian Pillman & The Suicide Blondes (Chris Candido & Louie Spicolli) vs. Chris Adams & The Destruction Crew Pillman was on the wrong side of rather lackluster support from the Blondes, leaving him prey to a Superkick from Adams. California Title Match : Steven Regal © vs. Larry Cameron Regal won by DQ when he was attacked by Tony Atlas. Iron & Steel tried to do further damage until Cactus Jack made his return by running out with a steel chair and sending them scattering. Pacific Submission Title Match : Fit Finlay © vs. Dean Malenko This match looked like it would go to a 30 minute time limit draw. But right before time would have run out, Finlay caught Malenko in the Celtic Knot and just barely got the win. The evening ended as it began, with a tap out.

Pacific Coast Wrestling show from the Portland Memorial Coliseum , Portland , on Pacific Super Cards on ESPN / TSN, September 14th Eddie Guerrero vs. Steve Austin Eddie is no pushover and put up a credible fight. But an angry Steve Austin is a lot to try and stop, and despite Eddie's best efforts, Stunning Steve took him out with the Stun Gun. Barry Windham, Brian Lee & Dustin Rhodes vs. Ted Dibiase & The Miracle Violence Combination The Brigade tried mightily to get some kind of traction against the Terror Collective, in spite of Lee's reluctance to tag in for Dustin Rhodes. Unfortunately for them, Rhodes once again got cornered by Steve Williams, and was pinned following a brutal Backdrop Driver. Bret Hart vs. Gary Albright Partway through the match, Steve Austin tried to come out, but was intercepted and dragged away by PCW security. Bret kept his eye on Albright and gradually chipped away at the stone, eventually outlasting Albright and taking him down with a Flying Bulldog for the hard fought win. Buddy Rose & Scotty The Body vs. Wings Of Fire (Vic Steamboat & The Eagle) After airing things out the day before, these two are clearly on the same page, with Scotty holding off the Demon while the Playboy took down the Eagle with the Inside Out Backbreaker. Pacific Television Title Match : Shinya Hashimoto © vs. Bobby Eaton The young Japanese's star's first title defense would be against a multi-time tag team champ and one of the most respected competitors on the West Coast. Eaton gave it his all, but Hashimoto was able to outlast him and come out on top with the Leaping Spike DDT. Pacific Heavyweight Title Match : Ricky Steamboat © vs. David Young It seemed like trouble was brewing when the rest of the Terror Collective came out, but they contented themselves with circling the ring and observing. David Young is in the first year of his career, and the Oregon Wrecking Crew member gave a good accounting of himself. Nevertheless, Steamboat shut down an attempt at a Spinebuster Clam with a hard forearm shot to the face, then followed up with a running crossbody press to pull out the victory. A big win for the champ, but having Ted Dibiase take an interest in your can't be good news.

Pacific Wrestling Showcase from the Portland Sports Arena, Portland , on ESPN / TSN, September 13th Tournament Of Lions First Round Match : Jerry Lynn vs. Dennis Condrey The second half of the Tournament Of Lions opening round kicks off with young up and comer Lynn facing the veteran Condrey. Lynn certainly put on a good showing against "Loverboy" Dennis, but experience and cunning proved to be the difference, with Condrey hitting a shot to the midsection which he deftly followed with a DDT to move on in the Tournament. Tournament Of Lions First Round Match : Al Snow vs. Reno Riggins Some folks just can't take the hint. Tina Ferrari was in the corner of Riggins and tried to keep him focused. But part way through the match, Mark Starr came down to ringside, looking to tip the balance. Tina started arguing with Starr, telling him he should go back to the locker room, but the situation was exacerbated by the arrival of Alex Porteau, coming to back up his partner. The two were coming close to blows, with Tina interposing herself between the two of them. The ensuing confusion led to Reno losing track of the match, allowing Snow to catch him in a Snow Bomb for the win. After the match, sparks continued to fly between the two teams, but the situation was cut off by Tina dragging both Sin City Superstars off by the ear. Interview : Don Coss stands in the Crow's Nest Coss : Ladies and gentlemen, my next guests *shudder* are once again in the centre of controversy here in Pacific Coast Wrestling … The Playboy Club. The crowd boos as the Club walks out to the Crow's Nest. The Sin City Superstars are looking abashed, Buddy Rose and Tina Ferrari are annoyed, Scotty The Body has the Pacific Light Heavyweight Title Belt around his ring and looks proud, and Mike Awesome seems particularly arrogant. Rose : Hand over the mic, Coss, the Playboy Club takes care of it's own business. *Coss complies* Ok, first question first …. WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT? *Riggins and Starr hang their heads in shame* Now, I am not worried about a little rough housing. I didn't bring you into the club to obey Robert's Rules Of Order. I readily paid your fines, because the Playboy Club takes care of their own. I even paid the fines of Stormfront because I wanted to keep those jerks around so you could settle the score. But you are just taking things too far. The Playboy's pockets are deep, but they aren't bottomless, and you are getting to be too expensive to keep around, and I am not going to start throwing good money after bad. Riggins : Sorry, boss , those guys just get under our skin. *Rose gives them a stern look* Uhhhh …. We'll try to do better. Rose : Do that. Next order of business …. You. * points at Scotty The Body * First thing, congratulations, kid. The Pacific Light Heavyweight Title … a high profile title and you won it in big league fashion. You and Big Mikey here scored major victories for the Club at Phoenix Firestorm. You did us proud. But … when I was defending the TV title against that Japanese guy, you and Tina were conspicuous by your absence. I needed you both to bail me out … errr … watch my back, but you were out living the high life in Phoenix. (Tina stares at the ground, but Scotty meets Rose's look.) What do you have to say for yourself? Scotty : Buddy, I apologize. You needed me and I wasn't there. But I had already put my neck on the line against Hashimoto once already. The week before, with a major title shot for me coming up, I went in the ring against him to try and tune him up for you. I had done my part. When I won my first singles title, I felt I had deserved to celebrate, and I talked Tina into joining me. Don't blame here, it was my mistake. Rose : (ponders for a while, then … ) You're right. Kid … Scotty, you do make very good points. You and I, we had a bit of a bumpy ride at the beginning, but we came to an understanding. You've done nearly everything that's been asked of you, and the Club has given you full back up. The Pacific Light Heavyweight Title is a big prize … but it is only the beginning . The sky is the limit for you. You are destined for great things, Scotty. I don't want you to blow it. I have missed my share of opportunities because I let my head get turned by temptation. Don't get blinded by the good life and neglect the work. Eyes on the prize, my friend. You are going to be a king in this business, just don't let it slip away. Believe me, I know what I am talking about. Scotty : Message received, Buddy. It won't happen again. Tournament Of Lions First Round Match : Shane Douglas vs. Beetlejuice Douglas took on the always unpredictable Beetlejuice, but was able to shut out his crazy antics and keep his mind off his feud with Camp Cornette to keep control of this match. He caught Beetlejuice with a belly to belly suplex and score the three count, moving on to the Quarter Finals. Tournament Of Lions First Round Match : Dragon Azul vs. Erin O'Grady The last match of the Tournament's First Round would be a thrilling light heavyweight duel. Dragon Azul and the Leprechaun had an incredibly fast paced match, with the momentum swinging back and forth. It closed with a battle of rollups, and O'Grady caught Dragon with a flying victory roll to pull of something of an upset. Up next week : We move on to the Quarter Finals. The Dreamboats (Tommy Dreamer & Glamour Boy Shane) vs. The Southern Boys The evening would close out with a hot tag team battle between the current top contenders for the Golden State Tag Team Titles and the former Pacific Tag Team Champs. This was a ferocious war, with both teams wanting to stake their claim for contendership. The Southern Boys tried to take out Dreamer with a double clothesline, but he ducked under, and Shane came in with a springboard double clothesline that gave him the pin over Armstrong. This should definitely give Trisa Hayes' men another shot at the Midnight Express and their Golden State Tag Team belts.

Good ole Jack "On The Take" Tunney!

Agreed with AD, Adias giving a determined challenge. Loving Orndorff's run as International champ. Fujinami vs. Hogan has epic written all over it.

Loving the great run from Tom Prichard. DK over Super Destroyer sounds like a considerable punch up.

Pacific Coast Wrestling show from the Kelowna Memorial Arena, Kelowna, September 8th Scott Hall vs. David Young Scott Hall managed to give the Brigade a win over the Terror Collective, defeating David Young with the Gator Breaker (Fallaway Slam). The Suicide Blondes (Chris Candido & Louie Spicolli) vs. The Southern Boys Another match which saw the Blondes cutting as many corners as the Southern Boys did. Candido caught Armstrong with a rollup assisted by his feet on the ropes, but once again, the Southern Boys seemed strangely pleased with this. The congratulated the confused Blondes after the match, patting them on the back. Dragon Azul vs. Erin O'Grady After the chicanery of the previous match, the action came back with a fleet footed light heavyweight duel where Dragon got the win with an Asai Suplex. Bam Bam Bigelow vs. Buddy Rose Bigelow has shown himself to be very keen to make a move up the rankings of PCW, and made a strong case for that in this match. He was able to outlast the considerable guile and cunning of the former multiple time champ and caught Rose in the corner with a crushing Avalanche. He swiftly followed up with a Slingshot Splash to score a major victory. Brian Pillman vs. Chris Adams Pillman evened the score with Adams, pinning him following a spectacular top rope flying sunset flip. Pacific Light Heavyweight Title Match : Scotty The Body © vs. Eddie Guerrero Scotty proved his title win was no fluke, defeating former champ Eddie Guerrero with his always deadly Body Shot (DDT).

Pacific Coast Wrestling show from the Pacific Coliseum, Vancouver on Pacific Super Cards on ESPN / TSN , September 7th Maxx Payne vs. Mike Awesome Mike Awesome continues to live up to his name as he steamrolled over big Maxx Payne before winning with his trademark Awesome Bomb. Brian Lee, Billy Gunn & Dustin Rhodes vs. Ted Dibiase, Steve Williams & Terry Gordy The Brigade's woes against the Terror Collective continued, with the Collective keeping Rhodes in their corner of the ring before Williams took him out with a Doctor Bomb. Lee seemed hugely displeased as the Brigade left the ring. Dan Severn vs. Genichiro Tenryu Once again, Steve Blackman and Masahiro Chono were in the corners of their respective mentors, with strict orders to stay put and match. Severn and Tenryu put on another gripping technical showdown, with Severn putting a mighty effort to hit a German Suplex and hold Tenryu's shoulders to the mat for the three count. After the match, Severn and Tenryu bowed in respect to each other before ordering Blackman and Chono to do so as well, which they did , albeit while still glaring at each other. California Title Match : Steven Regal © vs. Steve Austin Austin's first shot at regaining the California Title went just as one would expect it. A tense battle that ended when Bret Hart rushed the ring and attacked Austin, leading to a DQ finish and security having to intercede. You can bet that Commissioner Dutch Savage taking notes somewhere. Bret Hart & Phoenix Rising (Toshiaki Kawada & Kensuke Sasaki) vs. Nick Busick & The Midnight Express The highlight of this was the first meeting between different pairs of tag champs, as the newly crowned Pacific Tag Team Champions Phoenix Rising went at it with the Golden State Tag Team Champions the Midnight Express. Predictably, Hart was attacked by Steve Austin during this match, letting The Midnights take this one with a nasty double team on Kawada, which could set them up for a shot at the Pacific belts. Pacific Television Title Match : Shinya Hashimoto © vs. Dennis Condrey This would be Hashimoto's first TV title defense, and he certainly wasn't taking it easy on himself. "Loverboy" Dennis has made a reputation since his return as an incredibly tough nut to crack, and he gave Hash a real run for his money before going down to an elevated DDT. Hashimoto has proven himself in his first defense an incredible contender.

Pacific Wrestling Showcase from the Victoria Memorial Arena, Victoria, on ESPN / TSN, September 6th Tournament Of Lions First Round Match : Steven Regal vs. Phil Lafon Last year's Tournament Of Lions was such a success that PCW has decided to make it an annual event. A celebration of the up and coming talent on the West Coast, 16 competitors will do battle in a single elimination tournament, with the ultimate champion winning not just incredible prestige and standing but also a prize which has now been doubled to $200 000 . With all that on the line, the tournament kicks off with the newly crowned California champ Regal facing the recently dethroned Pacific Tag Team champ Lafon. The two had an outstanding technical match, the proverbial game of human chess with move and counter-move. An attempted waistlock suplex by Lafon was blocked and countered by Regal with a backslide that got the one two three. A great start to the tournament that got much applause from the fans. Tournament Of Lions First Round Match : Alex Porteau vs. Mark Starr This match would be a study in contrast with the previous match. Both men had their partners, Al Snow and Reno Riggins, in their corners , and it wasn't long before the chest bumping between the two got started. The pair proved an increasing distraction to the action in the ring until they inevitably started brawling. While the ref tried to maintain some sort of order, Starr torpedoed Porteau from behind and executing the Starr-Burst Suplex (Slingshot Suplex) for the win. Even so , the two teams kept fighting until PCW officials had to get them separated. This situation just keeps getting more volatile with every week. Interview : Don Coss stands in the ring Coss : Ladies and gentlemen, my next guests have certainly made their presence felt since their return to Pacific Coast Wrestling … Iron & Steel! The crowd boos Tony Atlas and Larry Cameron as they impassively make their way to the ring. Coss : Tony Atlas … Larry Cameron … last week at Phoenix Firestorm , you perpetrated a brutal attack on Cactus Jack for seemingly no reason. What gives? Cameron : Strictly business, my man. You see, the Sinister Minister put a price out on the head of Cactus Jack. He offered $100 000 to anyone who could send him out of PCW. Mike Awesome tried to collect, but he couldn't get the job done. Well, if you want to get a job done, you call on professionals. You want the Cactus head on a platter, Iron & Steel will serve it up to you with gold trim on it with a smile on our faces. * Cameron bares his teeth in a disturbing grimace * Coss : So, does this mean you are now affiliated with the Sinister Ministry? Atlas : Oh, hell no! My momma told me to never trust a preacher man. We get the job done, the preacher man hands over the money, and our business is over. After that, we hope we never see him or his bunch of creeps ever again. Tournament Of Lions First Round Match : Glamour Boy Shane vs. Fit Finlay The next match of the tournament has one half of the Dreamboats facing the new Pacific Submission champion Fit Finlay. Shane did well for his relatively brief time in the business, putting in a credible effort against the Belfast Bruiser. But, once again, the experience of Finlay proved to make the difference. A lightning quick single leg takedown led to the Celtic Knot, and he forced Shane to tap out, earning himself a spot in the quarter finals. Tournament Of Lions First Round Match : Steve Blackman vs. Tracy Smothers The last tournament match of the night paired the Living Weapon with the Wild Eyed Southern Boy. Blackman has regained focus in his feud with Masahiro Chono, but Smothers is definitely not a competitor to overlook. The two had a very tense battle, with the momentum swinging back and forth. Blackman able to catch Smothers in the running bicycle kick, and that was able to keep Smothers down for the three count. The first half of the Quarter Final round was now filled. We will have to wait until next week to find out the second half. Interview : Don Coss stands in the ring Coss : Ladies and gentlemen, my next guest is a Pacific Wrestling legend and the commissioner of Pacific Coast Wrestling … Dutch Savage! The crowd applauds the beloved legend, but the normally genial commissioner is clearly livid as he joins Coss in the ring. Coss : Dutch, after the main event of Phoenix Firestorm, you said you would make an announcement tonight on Pacific Wrestling Showcase. The floor is yours, sir. Dutch : Oh, you bet I have something today. During my time as PCW Commissioner, I have served that office with pride. I have long considered Pacific Coast Wrestling to be the gold standard of professional wrestling, with the top wrestlers and best matches. I have tried to give the wrestlers a relatively free hand and let them settle their differences in the ring. I felt this competitive spirit and excitement are the reasons our fans come to the shows, and a certain element of chaos can keep people interested in our shows. But there has been an increase in shenanigans that have been having a negative effect overall. Ambushes, outside interference, and whatever the hell it was in the Phoenix Firestorm main event between Ricky Steamboat and The Jackal. The Tournament Of Lions is a particular point of pride for me, and most of the tournament so far has been up to our high standards of excellence. But Stormfront and the Sin City Superstars just can't keep themselves under control, and the tournament match between Porteau and Starr was proof of that. So I am laying down the law. First of all, after Phoenix Firestorm, I suspended Ricky Steamboat and the Jackal. Well, the hard fact is, PCW can't afford to have their top champion and challenger out of action, so that suspension ends after this weekend. I am scheduling them for another title match in 2 months at Calgary Combat and this will be in a steel cage. This will be the last match between the two, no matter what the result. Until then, they are strictly ordered to stay away from each other, under threat of fines if they don't. If they aren't worried about fines, well, that leads to my second announcement. For the foreseeable future, fines issued will be TRIPLE their previous amounts. This is starting with the fines I am now issuing against the Sin City Superstars and Stormfront. The final announcement is the biggest. This is a very important time of year for Pacific Coast Wrestling. The Tournament Of Lions is now underway. In a couple of months will be Calgary Combat, followed a month later by San Diego Battleground, our biggest show of the year. After that , the wrestlers and staff of PCW celebrate until the New Year with our traditional vacation on the beaches of Hawaii. Well, some people might not be making that trip! I will do anything to make sure nothing ruins this important run of shows and events, so I have come up with a plan. You see, another of the reasons I feel the fans love our shows is that we are always willing to showcase young and promising talent. We have scouted and have our eye on some very enticing prospects indeed, including some thrilling tag teams. But we will need to have space on our roster to fit in these newcomers. So I reached back into the past. A few years ago, San Diego Battleground had a special theme called The Last Chance Saloon. Now seems like the perfect time to ring it back. A lot of our roster seem to be unable to work with each other, so we will give them their wish. There will be several Loser Leaves Town matches on that show . Which wrestlers are going to be in those matches will depend on their behaviour between now and then . Stormfront and Sin City Superstars, I will be keeping a close eye on you. So for the next 3 months, if you want to keep your jobs, always remember … Big Dutch is watching you! Bret Hart & Bam Bam Bigelow vs. The Destruction Crew A big announcement from Commissioner Savage that seems to have completely sailed over the heads of Bret Hart and Steve Austin. It wasn't long into the match when Austin rushed out to the ring and pulled Hart off the ring apron. While the two brawled, the ref was sufficiently distracted for Diamond Dallas Page to slid the sledgehammer into the ring to Wayne Bloom. Bloom then rammed the handle into the midsection of Bigelow, allowing Mike Enos to come off the top with a double axehandle and get the pinfall. Even then, Austin and Hart kept slugging it out until they had to be separated by security. Guys, Dutch savage literally JUST said …
