Pacific Wrestling Showcase from the Oakland Alameda County Arena, Oakland, on ESPN / TSN, October 18th The Miracle Violence Combination vs. Danny Brown & Ace Gordon This match could best be described as a bug impacting with the windshield of a Mack Truck on the highway. Or rather, two bugs impacting with the windshields of two Mack Trucks on the highway. The MVC tore through Brown and Gordon like they were stewed chickens, with Dr. Death squashing Gordon with the Oklahoma Stampede. True to their name, the Miracle Violence Combination are setting new standards for pure sadism on the west coast. Eddie Guerrero vs. Steve Austin Speaking of violence, it was a bit of a surprise when Eddie Guerrero came in and matched Stunning Steve in intensity. The Latino Superstar went shot for shot with Austin, refusing to back down an inch from the former California champ. Eddie got careless and wound up running into a Stun Gun to give the win to Austin, but even then, seemed more than willing to keep going at it after the match. Who poured the hot sauce onto his Cheerios? Bam Bam Bigelow vs. Big Juice The Beast From The East has had considerable success since his return to PCW, but now finds himself on the hunt for his next challenge. While the powerful Big Juice did give him some resistance, he was still ultimately overwhelmed by Bigelow's power and enthusiasm, getting pinned following the Slingshot Splash. Bigelow is looking to move up to the next level in PCW. Golden State Tag Team Title Match : The Midnight Express © vs. Wings Of Fire (Vic Steamboat & The Eagle) The Midnight Express have kept an iron grip on the Golden State belts ever since they won them from the Rainbow Warriors in April at Vegas Vengeance. The Rainbow Warriors are no more, but one half of that team, Vic Steamboat, brought his current team Wings Of Fire in a concerted effort to be a champion again. They did well, and the Eagle came close to getting a pinfall at several occasions, but Vic wound up going down to the Double Goozle. The Midnights are laying a strong claim to be possibly the most successful team in PCW history. Alex Porteau vs. Mark Starr Well, they tried … at least for a while. These two opened up by taking it to the mat with a surprising amount of technical wrestling. As things wore on , though , tempers flared and it was only a matter of time before their partners, Al Snow and Reno Riggins , got involved and the whole match wound up being thrown out the window. Somewhere, Dutch Savage is reaching for his blood pressure meds and a bottle of bourbon … California Title Match : Steven Regal © vs. Scotty The Body Regal has been on an incredible hot streak this year, reaching a new high last week with his victory in the Tournament Of Lions over Dennis Condrey. The British Lion follows that up this week with a California Title defense against the also red hot Light Heavyweight champ, Scotty The Body. The match delivered on all expectations, with both men going all out to come out on top. Scotty did cut corners throughout the match, as could be expected, but Regal was always able to bounce back. Regal shut down an attempted Body Shot (DDT), then turned it around into a Bridging Belly To Back Suplex to score the three count. Regal is starting to reach his true potential as a superstar.

Bad sportsmanship on the part of TT, but I expect no better of him.

So glad to see you and Memphis return. Agreed with AD, Sid is the quintessential Stud. Hot Stuff vs. The King is just the feud to kick things off.

Big wins for Garvin and Race. Once again, Boogie Woogie Man is bedeviled by Paul Jones.

Pacific Coast Wrestling show from McArthur Court, Eugene, October 13th The Dreamboats (Tommy Dreamer & Glamour Boy Shane) vs. The Can-Am Express The Dreamboats continued with their campaign to get another shot at the Golden State Tag Titles in an impressive victory over the former Pacific champs, catching Phil Lafon in Dream Street (diving double clothesline). Shane Douglas vs. Bobby Eaton Despite his recent losses at the hands of Dennis Condrey, Douglas got some measure of revenge against Camp Cornette by pinning the Midnight Express member following a Belly To Back Suplex. Stormfront (Al Snow & Alex Porteau) vs. The Oregon Wrecking Crew (Gary Albright & David Young) The OWC continued to rise in the PCW tag ranks with a convincing victory over the former Pacific champs, Albright getting the duke with a crushing Dragon Suplex on Porteau. Cactus Jack vs. Tony Atlas Cactus had his friend Steven Regal in his corner, while Atlas was backed by his partner Larry Cameron. In a back and forth match, Atlas came out on top with a huge Piledriver. After the match, Iron & Steel looked to be doing more damage on the felled Cactus, but Regal protectively standing in their way made them think better of it. Pacific Light Heavyweight Title Match : Scotty The Body © vs. Jerry Lynn Lynn got a second shot at the title this week, and came incredibly close to taking it at several points. Unfortunately a mistimed attempt at a back body drop left him prey to the Body Shot (DDT), and Scotty maintained his hold on the title. Pacific Submission Title Match : Fit Finlay © vs. Eddie Guerrero The weekend closed out with Fit Finlay defending the Submission Title against the man from whom he won it. In a gripping bout, Finlay fought out of attempts at both the Gory Special and the Lasso From El Paso, forcing Guerrero to give up to the Celtic Knot.

Pacific Coast Wrestling show from the Portland Memorial Coliseum , Portland , on Pacific Super Cards on ESPN / TSN, October 12th The Suicide Blondes (Chris Candido & Louie Spicolli) vs. The Southern Boys The Blondes showed more of their evolving unscrupulous nature, leading to a chaotic match that ended in a No Contest with all four men brawling in the ring at the same time. Steve Blackman vs. Genichiro Tenryu Blackman showed incredible grip and spirit in this high profile match, but ultimately was taken down by the Japanese legend with a German Suplex. Dan Severn vs. Masahiro Chono These two took it to the mat for much of the match, engaging in a submission duel with Severn coming out on top, forcing Chono to tap out to a Cross Armbreaker. Barry Windham & Dustin Rhodes vs. Ted Dibiase & Terry Gordy The Brigade's woes against the Terror Collective continued, with Gordy pinning Rhodes following a mighty Power Bomb Pacific Tag Team Title Match : Phoenix Rising (Kensuke Sasaki & Toshiaki Kawada) © vs. The Sin City Superstars (Mark Starr & Reno Riggins) Phoenix Rising continued their dominant run as champs, with Sasaki caught Riggins coming off the ropes with the Ipponzei. Pacific Heavyweight Title Match : Ricky Steamboat © vs. Buddy Rose Bolstered by his taking the champ to the limit last week, the Playboy was even more determined in his home base of Portland to retake the title that had been his twice before. Rose pulled out all the stops, and his devious cheating and the interference of Tina Ferrari clearly took a toll on the Dragon. Steamboat fought back and wound up diving out of the ring onto Rose, leading to a double countout result. On to round Three …

Pacific Wrestling Showcase from the Portland Sports Arena, Portland , on ESPN / TSN, October 11th The Jackal vs. Chet Welch With his challenge for the Pacific Heavyweight Title coming up in a couple of weeks, the masked Jackal has been keeping an unusually low profile of late. Tonight, he crawled out of his cave and made a show of force against the unfortunate Mr. Welch. The Jackal savaged poor Welch, dragging him around the ring while hammering him with repeated blows to the head. He then forced him to tap out to the Claws Of The Jackal (Iron Claw), refusing to release until ordered by the ref. As statements go, this was a very convincing one, and you can bet the PCW champ Ricky Steamboat is watching with concern. Brian Lee vs. Mark Starr Lately, Brian Lee has been showing some frustration with the ongoing feud his allies in the Brigade have had with the Terror Collective. Perhaps looking to get a fresh perspective, he has found some success by taking on some new opponents. Mark Starr came to quickly regret this decision on Lee's part. The Sin City Superstar was swiftly dispatched by Lee with the Prime Time Slam, an easy three count for the Bulldozer. Hopefully, this will help his confidence when he returns to the front lines against Ted Dibiase's crew. Pacific Television Title Match : Shinya Hashimoto © vs. Fit Finlay Ever since he won the TV title from Buddy Rose, Shinya Hashimoto has sought out the toughest competition in PCW to prove himself as champion. Well, he certainly wasn't going to find any tougher than the Pacific Submission Champion Fit Finlay. The shots rang out across the arena in this hard hitting match as the two laid into each other with brutal shots and kicks. It took nearly everything the champ had but he was able to outlast the Belfast Bruiser and finally put him down with the Brainbuster. Whoever plans to take the TV title from the Japanese star had best be ready to give it all they have got. Maxx Payne vs. Steve Williams While every member of the Terror Collective score very highly on the scale of toughness, Dr. Death brings with that a considerable stock of viciousness. Showing that he didn't care what size opposition he faced, Williams made a meal out of the burly Maxx Payne, battering him and crushing him with power moves before flattening him with the Doctor Bomb for a convincing victory. The Terror Collective continue to tower over the competition on the West Coast, whether it is individually or as a group. Tournament Of Lions Final Match : Steve Regal vs. Dennis Condrey After several weeks of intense tournament competition, the Finals are here. A study in contrasts, the young but still seasoned Regal would face the cunning veteran Condrey. Both men were at the top of their respective games and the match went long with the proverbial duel of Human Chess. Condrey and Jim Cornette frequently went for their usual subterfuge and underhanded tactics, but Regal had the wherewithal to either counter or come back from it. After a thrilling bout, Condrey sought to take the prize with the Full Nelson Facebuster. Regal blocked it with a hard elbow to the face, then followed up with a Russian Legsweep. He then went for the kill and locked Condrey in the Regal Stretch, and despite every effort, Loverboy Dennis had no choice but to tap out. After a classic tournament and final match, the California Champion stood tall and accepted the applause of the fans as the winner of the 1989 Tournament Of Lions.

Hogan is still the man! The money matches for me were Mad Dog vs. Burke, Orndorff vs. Hansen and the War Games. Another triumph.

Another big win for the Doctor Of Desire. Big John Studd seems to be just rolling through this tournament.

In classic style, Vader mulches Nakano. My boy Volk takes out Shamrock but has an incredibly tough draw in the second round against Maeda.

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.
