Pacific Coast Wrestling show from McArthur Court, Eugene, July 14th Shinya Hashimoto vs. Fit Finlay A hard hitting match between two tough contenders that Hashimoto took with a Jumping Spike DDT. Vic Steamboat vs. Genichiro Tenryu The Demon put in a credible and valiant effort until Tenryu finally knocked him out with the Enzuigiri. Phoenix Rising (Toshiaki Kawada & Kensuke Sasaki) vs. The Destruction Crew Phoenix Rising continued their , err, rise, with Kawada taking down Bloom with a brainbuster. Bam Bam Bigelow vs. The Soultaker When Cactus Jack came down to ringside, Soultaker came out and brawled with him, leading to a loss by countout. Pacific Submission Title Match : Eddie Guerrero © vs. Alex Porteau Guerrero was able to overcome the technical expertise of Porteau and force him to submit to the Gory Special Pacific Light Heavyweight Title Match : Dean Malenko © vs. Beetlejuice In a fast paced match, Malenko wrapped the Juice Crew member in a Natural Bridge to remain Light Heavyweight champ.

Pacific Coast Wrestling show from the Portland Memorial Coliseum , Portland , on Pacific Super Cards on ESPN / TSN, July 13th The Eagle vs. Mike Awesome Awesome overwhelmed the Eagle and flattened him with the Awesome Bomb. Scott Hall & Brian Lee vs. The Sin City Superstars (Reno Riggins & Mark Starr) Although the Superstars kept the Brigade on their toes, Lee was able to plant Starr with the Prime Time Slam to get the win. The Suicide Blondes (Chris Candido & Louie Spicolli) vs. The Oregon Wrecking Crew (Gary Albright & David Young) A David vs. Goliath story, with the David team of the Blondes keeping just ahead of the OWC until Young caught Candido with the Spinebuster Slam to score the victory. Cactus Jack vs. The Jackal A battle of crazies between the face of the Wild Things against their defector. While the Sinister Minister was distracting the referee, the Soultaker snuck in the ring and levelled Cactus with a mighty clothesline. The Jackal came off the top with the Betrayal (flying kneedrop) and got the tainted win. Pacific Television Title Match : Buddy Rose © vs. Al Snow Despite a determined challenge from Snow, Rose blocked and attempted running bulldog headlock and turned it around into the Inside Out Backbreaker to successfully defend his title. Barry Windham, Dustin Rhodes & Billy Gunn vs. Ted Dibiase & The Miracle Violence Connection The Terror Collective have had enough of messing around with Windham and friends and have brought out the big guns. Dibiase and company seemed to focus most of their aggression on young Dustin Rhodes, but the Son Of A Son Of A Plumber just refused to break. They eventually threw the rulebook out the window with Albright and Young charging into the ring and gang up on the Texans. As the ref threw out the match, Young brought in a metal chair and gave it to Dibiase. The Man Of Means approached the downed Rhodes with the chair, clearly with evil intent, but Windham threw himself on top of Rhodes to protect him. Dibiase gave Windham three brutal shots across the back with the chair, yet Windham would not get out of the way. Ultimately , Scott Hall and Brian Lee rushed out to the ring, causing the Collective to scatter. They then assisted Windham to his feet and helped him and their fallen comrades back to the locker room. Pacific Heavyweight Title Match : Ricky Steamboat © vs. Big Juice The Wild Things attack on the Dragon continued with one half of the Juice Crew challenging for the Pacific Title. Steamboat took a battering but came back with a belly to back suplex to come out on top.

Pacific Wrestling Showcase from the Portland Sports Arena, Portland , on ESPN / TSN, July 12th Big Bully Busick vs. Gary Stritesky It hasn't taken long for Big Bully Busick to become a figure of terror on the Pacific Coast . Once again, Busick completely dismantled his opposition before forcing Stritesky to give up to the Bully Bender (Stump Puller). As always, Jim Cornette insisted on Stritesky being given the Bully Blaster (Heart Punch) and, while the Bully gave Cornette a cold look, he blasted Stritesky. Busick is certainly leaving his mark in PCW. Shane Douglas vs. Erin O' Grady Speaking of Busick, it seems like Shane Douglas is doing his best to put his former friend behind him and focus on his own career. While clearly still distressed at Busick's turn to the dark side, he got right down to business with the always pugnacious Irish Leprechaun. It was a fierce , fast paced match with Douglas catching O'Grady coming off the ropes with a Belly To Belly Suplex for the win. Hopefully, Douglas can put his past troubles behind him and get back to his promising rise. California Title Match : Steve Austin © vs. Steven Regal Despite his ongoing feud with Tony Atlas, Regal has not forgotten the loss of the California Title to "Stunning" Steve Austin, and showed great determination in this TV match to regain it. Austin was all smug confidence for much of the match until Bret Hart came down to ringside. Diamond Dallas Page immediately got in Hart's face, but the Hitman ignored him and fixed Austin with an icy stare. It got to be too much for Austin, who started jawing with Hart in the ring, being greeted with noting but stoney silence in return. This nearly led to catastrophe for Austin, as the distraction allowed Regal to roll him up for a 2 ¾ count. Austin was able to kick out just in time, but seemed rattled through the rest of the match, which went to a 15 minute time limit draw. Austin is going to have to choose sooner or later between defending his title or continuing his feud with his former mentor. Steve Blackman & The Dreamboats (Tommy Dreamer & Glamour Boy Shane) vs. Masahiro Chono & The Southern Boys It seems like the Southern Boys area aligning themselves with the Blood Syndicate, as once again one of the Japanese group is teaming up with them to take on a trio including the Dreamboats. The rookie team of Tommy Dreamer and Shane Douglas have been making big strides of late, and continued to show their resolve against Chono and the Southern Boys. The match broke down somewhat when the action spilled to the outside, but Shane was able to hit a diving clothesline off the ring apron to Armstrong and make it back in time to get the win by countout. The Dreamboats are gaining more in confidence as the weeks go on. Dragon Azul vs. Scotty The Body After some initial friction with Buddy Rose, Scotty The Body has risen to become a die hard MVP for the Playboy Club. With his brash personality and cutthroat tactics, the man from Atlantic City has drawn a lot of attention, both good and bad. He showed a new side in his match with the popular Dragon Azul, focusing more on showing off his in ring skills and actually acquitting himself quite well. He was even able to block an attempt at a Dragon Sleeper and turn it around into the Body Shot (DDT) to get the win. Clearly Scotty is destined for big things.

The good thing (if you can call it that) about Vince Russo in interviews is that he is transparently a complete fucking blithering idiot. With his constant "Bros!" and pronouncing wrestling with 3 syllables, there is not much danger of someone taking him seriously. Bischoff is a bit trickier. Bobby Heenan neatly summed him up in 3 words : used car salesman. He is very polished in demeanor and speech, and far too much of what he said was put out uncontested. Case in point : the Disney tapings. He presents them as one of his early triumphs, but they were actually a terrible move (an audience of non-wrestling fans led to a very stale environment, it was for syndicated shows in bad time slots, and by doing them in blocks of 4 months in a couple of weeks it gave away title changes that were immediately leaked). The show opened and ended with him, and ultimately, he gets the last word and took no accountability.

I've been watching a lot of Volk Han lately, and the match with Smith on this card was quite the exciting dream match.

Pacific Coast Wrestling show from the Kelowna Memorial Arena, Kelowna, July 7th Stormfront (Al Snow & Alex Porteau) vs. The Destruction Crew The evening kicked off with an exciting tag team match between two former Pacific Tag Champs. Stormfront ultimately prevailed after Snow hit a Moonsault on Enos. Brian Lee vs. Tony Atlas These two powerful men went at in a match that went to Atlas after a crushing Piledriver. Kensuke Sasaki vs. Doug Furnas Furnas pinned Sasaki with a German Suplex. Steven Regal vs. Erin O'Grady The English Lion took on the always feisty Leprechaun and forced him to tap out to the Regal Stretch. Toshiaki Kawada vs. Phil Lafon Kawada knocked down Lafon with a spinning back heel kick and got the three count. Pacific Light Heavyweight Title Match : Eddie Guerrero © vs. Dean Malenko Malenko was clearly looking for revenge for Guerrero taking his Pacific Submission Title last week. Malenko broke out a lot more high flying moves, hitting several precision dropkicks on the double champ. When Guerrero dodged one, he quickly went up top for the Frog Splash, on his way to successful defense. But Malenko was only playing possum, and rolled out of the way at the last second. Guerrero crashed hard onto the match, and Malenko picked him up and drove him down with a crushing Brainbuster. Three seconds later and, for the second week in a row, a championship changed hands, with Malenko winning the Light Heavyweight Title.

Pacific Coast Wrestling show from the Pacific Coliseum, Vancouver on Pacific Super Cards on ESPN / TSN , July 6th Maxx Payne vs. The Soultaker This match went to the Soultaker as he flattened Payne with a huge clothesline coming off the ropes. Cactus Jack vs. Fit Finlay A fierce brawl that went to Cactus when he planted the Fighting Irishman with a Double Arm DDT. Steve Blackman vs. Masahiro Chono This was an all out war between the members of the Citadel and the Blood Syndicate. It went long and bloody, with Blackman finally able to get Chono down long enough for the three count after landing a thrust kick to the jaw. Barry Windham, Dustin Rhodes & Billy Gunn vs. Ted Dibiase & The Oregon Wrecking Crew (Gary Albright & David Young) Speaking of war, the conflict between Barry Windham and the Terror Collective rolled along with this match. Dibiase seemed to be trying to single out Dustin Rhodes as the weak link, but the second generation star remained defiant. He was finally pinned after Dibiase caught him coming off the ropes with a power slam, but the "Man Of Means" was clearly fuming after the match, taking umbrage at the impertinence of young Dustin's performance in the ring. Bret Hart & Bam Bam Bigelow vs. Chris Adams & Steve Austin This wasn't war, this was pure chaos, with the ref ultimately calling a No Contest with all four men brawling in the ring at the same time. Ricky Steamboat & Wings Of Fire (Vic Steamboat & The Eagle) vs. The Jackal & The Juice Crew (Beetlejuice & Big Juice) Deep into this match, the Soultaker came down to try to tip the balance in favour of the Wild Things , only to be intercepted by Cactus Jack. In the ensuing confusion, Vic Steamboat was able to hit the Demon Suplex (Dragon Suplex) on Big Juice and give his team the win.

Pacific Wrestling Showcase from the Victoria Memorial Arena, Victoria, on ESPN / TSN, July 5th Big Bully Busick vs. Anh-Tuan Bui Another day, another Big Bully mulching. Busick steamrolled over poor Bui, tossing him about like ragdoll before putting him away with a brutal shoulder breaker. Jim Cornette then ordered Busick to hit the Bully Blaster (Heart Punch) on Bui post match, and Busick once again complied. It seems that Cornette only has to give the word, and Busick does his bidding. The Suicide Blondes (Chris Candido & Louie Spicolli) vs. The Sin City Superstars (Reno Riggins & Mark Starr) In the always competitive PCW Tag Team division, the Suicide Blondes have been fighting hard to establish a name for themselves, and have built up a considerable grass roots fanbase. After an exciting series of matches with the Fighting Irish, they are now tangling with the Playboy Club's always dangerous duo of Riggins and Starr, the Sin City Superstars. The Superstars pulled out their usual array of dirty tricks, but the Blondes just coming after them, and when Spicolli was able to catch Riggins with a Samoan Drop, Candido held off Starr with a dropkick to allow the three count. An impressive win for Candido and Spicolli. Dennis Condrey vs. Shane Douglas Apart from the occasional glance of concern, Douglas did his best to shut out the presence of his former friend Big Bully Busick at ringside. Busick , for his part, just gave a stony stare and stayed by the side of Jim Cornette. Even so, one could tell that Douglas' attention was being pulled in several different directions, which allowed Cornette to trip him coming off the ropes. This led him to be vulnerable to a DDT from Condrey, giving the win to Camp Cornette. This situation is clearly weighing heavily on Douglas' mind, but he is going to need to learn to focus on what is in front of him. Brian Pillman vs. Scotty The Body Flyin' Brian has had a considerable hatred for the Playboy Club ever since losing the Pacific TV Title to Buddy Rose, and of late , his ire has been focused on Scotty The Body. They have had a series of ever more heated matches, and they certainly didn't cool down for this match. This duo got progressively faster as the match went on, with a lightning quick flying head scissors out of the corner getting Pillman the count in this bout. You can bet that this will not stop Scotty from coming back after him. Shinya Hashimoto & The Dreamboats (Tommy Dreamer & Glamour Boy Shane) vs. Genichiro Tenryu & The Southern Boys There were a number of surprises in this match. First of all, the seemingly incongruous match of Tenryu and the Southern Boys worked together incredibly well, with the Japanese legend joining Smothers and Armstrong in some high impact combination moves. That said, the Dreamboats had some surprises of their own, with the rookie team showing real grit and determination in holding their own against the more experienced wrestlers. Tenryu proved the difference as he folded up Shane in a Power Bomb, but still the Dreamboats really proved themselves in this match.

Pacific Coast Wrestling Show from the UCSB Event Center, Santa Barbara, June 30th Stormfront (Al Snow & Alex Porteau) vs. The Blood Syndicate (Genichiro Tenryu & Masahiro Chono) The former tag team champs faced the fearsome Blood Syndicate and, despite their best efforts, Snow went down to a Yakuza Kick from Chono to give the match to the Japanese team. Brian Pillman vs. Scotty The Body These two continued their feud with a mistimed attempt at a backdrop by Pillman giving the opening for Scotty to hit the Body Shot (DDT) for the win. Dan Severn & Steve Blackman vs. The Sin City Superstars (Reno Riggins & Mark Starr) The Citadel showed that they are still a force to be reckoned with, as Severn pinned Riggins following a takeover suplex. Jerry Lynn vs. Erin O'Grady A fast moving duel between the energetic Lynn and the pugnacious O'Grady. It was Lynn who would come out on top, following a Package Piledriver. Steven Regal vs. Terry Gordy Gordy seemed caught off guard by the fight he got from the "British Lion", but after a long and brutal battle, was finally able to hit the Power Bomb for the win. Pacific Submission Title Match : Dean Malenko © vs. Eddie Guerrero Strangely for a Submission match, Guerrero seemed to be focusing mostly on high flying moves. His strategy ultimately was able to pay off when a flying head scissors from Guerrero set up Malenko for the Lasso From El Paso. Malenko was forced to tap out, giving Guerrero the Submission Title as well as the Light Heavyweight Title. Guerrero was now the first dual champion in PCW since Bob Backlund.

Pacific Coast Wrestling show from the LA Sports Arena, Los Angeles, on Pacific Super Cards on ESPN / TSN, June 29th The Eagle vs. Dennis Condrey Once again, Shane Douglas tried to talk some sense into Big Bully Busick, but Cornette and Condrey "encouraged" him to leave. Condrey was then able to defeat the masked man with the Full Nelson Facebuster. Bret Hart, Bam Bam Bigelow & Shinya Hashimoto vs. Chris Adams & The Destruction Crew Another furious battle in the war between Bret Hart and the Diamond Exchange where Bret pinned Adams with a victory roll. Cactus Jack vs. Ted Dibiase A slugfest between Cactus and Dibiase that went to "The Man Of Means" when he pinned Cactus following a side Russian Legsweep. California Title Match : Steve Austin © vs. Shane Douglas Douglas put in a valiant effort against the California champ, but one could sense how things were going to go when Jim Cornette and Dennis Condrey came down to ringside. Cornette pulled down the top rope to send Douglas tumbling out of the ring , and while Diamond Dallas Page distracted the ref, Condrey hit the Full Nelson Facebuster on Douglas on the floor to cause Shane to lose by countout. Phoenix Rising (Toshiaki Kawada & Kensuke Sasaki) & The Dreamboats (Tommy Dreamer & Glamour Boy Shane) vs. The Can-Am Express & The Southern Boys While the Dreamboats and the Southern Boys fought it out tooth and nail, it was Kawada who hit the Brainbuster on Lafon to get the three count, giving Phoenix Rising a very impressive win over the tag team champs. Pacific Heavyweight Title Match : Ricky Steamboat © vs. The Soultaker True to his word, Steamboat came out full throttle against the big Wild Bunch member. This may have been a mistake, as Soultaker was able to capitalize on Steamboat's aggression by catching him in some jarring power moves. Soultaker took a toll on Steamboat, but the champ was able to gut it out and come back with the Diving Crossbody to successfully defend his title.

Pacific Wrestling Showcase from the Olympic Auditorium , Los Angeles , on ESPN / TSN, June 28th Big Bully Busick vs. John Paul Calderon Big Bully Busick has quickly gained a reputation as Jim Cornette's personal attack dog. He has been leaving a trail of broken bodies and terrified rookies in his wake, and it was no different for poor young Calderon. Much like last week , Busick brutalized the rookie before finishing him off with the Bully Breaker (over the shoulder neckbreaker) and, after the match, nailing him with the Bully Blaster (Heart Punch) on the insistence of Jim Cornette. After the match, while Cornette was crowing about the victory, Shane Douglas came out to try to talk to Busick. Cornette interposed himself between the two, and while Douglas wasn't intimidated by the garishly dressed manager, the arrival of Dennis Condrey led him to wisely step back in the face of the numbers. Regardless, Douglas is still clearly determined to try to get through to his former friend. Dustin Rhodes vs. Gary Albright The feud between the Terror Collective and Barry Windham has become even more volatile with Barry finding allies in Dustin Rhodes and Billy Gunn. Both Windham and Gunn were at Rhode's side for this singles match, while Albright was backed up by his tag team partner David Young as well as "The Man Of Means" Ted Dibiase. While the ref did all that he could to keep both sides out of the match, eventually a scuffle between Dibiase and the Texans provided enough of a distraction for Young to sneak into the ring and hit his trademark Spinebuster on Rhodes. When the ref turned around, Albright was covering Rhodes and got the three count, stealing the match for the Terror Collective. Interview : Don Coss stands in the ring Coss : Ladies and gentlemen , my next guest is the Pacific Heavyweight Champion … Ricky "The Dragon Steamboat" ! The crowd loudly cheers as the champ heads out to the ring, but Steamboat, while still shaking hands and high fiving the fans, he isn't quite his normal genial self. Coss : Ricky, while you have been a champion that all of PCW can be proud of, you have been having a lot of problems of late with the Jackal and the Sinister Minister. Steamboat : You've got that right, Don. The competition in Pacific Coast Wrestling is the hottest it have ever been. There has been a wealth of top contenders coming in, all with designs on my title. But I just can't seem to shake myself of the Jackal. He and the Sinister Minister have even targeted my brother Vic, who has still not yet fully recovered from there so called Crimson Death Dust. I myself am still not 100% after being hit with it, but am just about there. No matter what, I am still not going to let that stop me. They can throw everything at me that they want, but they are going to discover that the Dragon breathes fire! I won't rest until the Wild Things are incinerated! The Suicide Blondes (Chris Candido & Louie Spicolli) vs. The Juice Crew (Beetlejuice & Big Juice) Speak of the devil, the Sinister Minister was out for the next match, leading his men into battle against the fast rising duo of the Suicide Blondes. While Candido and Spicolli had the Crew on the run for much of the match, the Minister's skullduggery and dirty tricks tipped the balance in the favor of his men, who hit the Juice Loosener (Bearhug by Big Juice into a slingshot lariat by Beetlejuice) on Candido to score the victory. Maxx Payne vs. Steve Williams Another member of the Terror Collective, "Dr. Death" himself, rolled into this match ready to take on big Maxx Payne. Payne did put in a valiant effort, but the sheer power of Willams was too much to overcome, and Williams put him down following a crushing Oklahoma Stampede for an impressive victory. Pacific Television Title : Buddy Rose © vs. Brian Lee Once again, Rose came out accompanied not just by Tina Ferrari but also Mike Awesome, who has been a key part in tipping the balance in numerous Playboy Club battles. The ref did all he could to maintain order, but it wasn't long before the interference of Awesome led to Scott Hall coming down to the ring. The staredown between the two wound up being a sufficient distraction to Rose that Lee was able to send him flying out of the ring with a dropkick. He landed between Awesome and Hall, and his cowering behind Awesome led to him being counted out of the ring. Another loss with Rose holding onto the title. How long until this finally catches up with him? Billy Gunn vs. David Young By the time this match took place, the ref had had enough with the outside interference, and he ordered Windham and Rhodes as well as the Terror Collective back to the locker room, threatening them all with suspension if they showed their faces for the rest of the night. With that taken care off, the two combatants got down to a hard hitting matchup. Let two their own devices, they put on an incredibly competitive battle, with both men coming close at several points of getting the pinfall. In the end, Gunn was able to block an attempt to whip him into the ropes for a Spinebuster and hit the Sidewinder (spinning side suplex) to finally get a hard fought victory.

Pacific Coast Wrestling show from the Selland Arena, Fresno, June 23rd The Suicide Blondes (Chris Candido & Louie Spicolli) vs. The Fighting Irish (Fit Finlay & Erin O'Grady) Another fast paced tag match between these two hot young teams, this one going to the Blondes when Spicolli pinned O'Grady following a Samoan Drop Dan Severn, Steve Blackman & Cactus Jack vs. Genichiro Tenryu, Masahiro Chono & The Soultaker Once again, the Citadel clashed with Blood Pollution, and Severn was able to pin Chono following a takeover suplex. Severn and Tenryu were staring each other down after the end of the match. Vic Steamboat vs. The Jackal The Demon was not at his best following his taste of the Crimson Death Dust last week, and the Jackal capitalized, hitting the Betrayal (top rope flying kneedrop) for the win Shinya Hashimoto vs. Tony Atlas A hard hitting match between two big heavyweights that went to Atlas following a crushing flying shoulder tackle. Phoenix Rising (Toshiaki Kawada & Kensuke Sasaki) vs. The Destruction Crew Phoenix Rising continued to burn their way up the ranks, taking out the former Pacific Tag Team Champs following a brainbuster by Kawada on Wayne Bloom. Pacific Submission Title Match : Dean Malenko © vs. Eddie Guerrero Another epic match between these two, with Malenko fighting away attempts at the Lasso From El Paso and the Gory Special, and Guerrero breaking out of Malenko trying to get him in his damaging armlocks and leglocks. Once again, Malenko and Guerrero 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, June 22nd Steven Regal vs. Mark Starr The "British Lion" Steven Regal had a taught technical matchup with his fellow Englishman Mark Starr and forced him to submit to the Regal Stretch. Jerry Lynn vs. Scotty The Body Scotty continued his impressive run by taking Lynn down with the Body Shot (DDT) Bam Bam Bigelow vs. Big Juice The always entertaining Beast From The East pinned Big Juice following a Slingshot Splash Barry Windham, Dustin Rhodes & Billy Gunn vs. Steve Williams & The Oregon Wrecking Crew (Gary Albright & David Young) Windham and his friends struck first blood in their feud with the Terror Collective, with Windham flattening Young with the Western Lariat. No sooner had the 3 count been made then Windham found himself swarmed by Ted Dibiase, Terry Gordy and the rest of the Terror Collective. The Collective landed a lot of heavy blows before Rhodes and Gunn pulled Windham out of the fray and back to safety. Pacific Television Title Match : Buddy Rose © vs. Brian Pillman Flyin' Brian finally got his rematch with the man who took his TV title and , once again, the Playboy Club rallied around their leader. This time, it was Scotty The Body who came to ringside after Pillman was knocked out of the ring and, while Rose distracted the ref, hit the Body Shot (DDT) on Flyin' Brian. Pillman was unable to make it back into the ring , giving the match to Rose by countout. 2/3 Falls Pacific Tag Team Title Match : The Can-Am Express © vs. Stormfront (Al Snow & Alex Porteau) After some hot potato exchanges of the tag titles, the belts were back around the waits of the Can-Ams. After the past 3 stand out matches, these two teams would now be pitted in a 2/3 falls match. Furnas and Lafon were determined to put down the challenge of the former champs once and for all, and Furnas scored the first fall with a German Suplex on Porteau. Stormfront fought back hard, and Snow was able to even the score with the Snow-Bomb on Lafon. Both teams went into overdrive for the final fall, pulling out all the stops, and Lafon was able to pin Snow following a Moonsault Body Press. The Can-Am Express had emerged as the ultimate victors.

Pacific Wrestling Showcase from the Oakland Alameda County Arena, Oakland, on ESPN / TSN, June 21st Big Bully Busick vs. Sekhou Bunch Last week, Nick, errr, Big Bully Busick made his return to in ring action and brutalized his opponent. This match continued that run as Busick utterly dismantled Bunch, working him over before putting him out with the Bully Breaker (over the shoulder neckbreaker), all while Jim Cornette gleefully watched from ringside. Busick got the pinfall, but Cornette wanted to make a statement, and ordered Busick and give bunch something called the Bully Blaster. Busick seemed unsure but after some prodding from Cornette, dragged Bunch to his feet and revealed just what the Bully Blaster was : a crushing Heart Punch! Bunch collapsed to the mat and had to be assisted from the ring. Busick has swiftly made himself a truly terrifying presence in PCW. The Eagle vs. Beetlejuice One week ago, Wings Of Fire found their challenge to the Juice Crew cut short by the interference of the Jackal. This week, the Eagle faced one half of the Juice Crew in a singles match and while the Jackal was not present, his air of menace hung over this match. The Eagle had to be on his guard, not just from Beetlejuice but from the Sinister Minister, scheming at ringside. The Eagle was able to hold off the Wild Thing's assault and take him down with the Screaming Eagle (top rope missile dropkick). Big Juice rushed out to the ring after the match, but the Sinister Minister held him back, whispering something in both his and Beetlejuice's ears as he led them back to the locker room. One shudders to thing just what nefarious plot he is hatching. Shane Douglas vs. Dennis Condrey Both Douglas and Condrey are recent returnees to the West Coast, and both have done well since their return. This was a peculiar match, as Shane kept finding himself focusing not on Condrey but on Big Bully Busick, Jim Cornette's bodyguard, who was standing at ringside. Even though Busick did nothing to interfere, Shane repeatedly was glancing at him throughout the match. Despite that, Douglas acquitted himself well during the match. Then, he full on started to try to talk to Busick. The Big Bully just stared at him in stony silence, and in an odd reversal, Cornette interposed himself between Busick and Douglas and started shouting back. Douglas' lack of focus finally caught up with him as Condrey clobbered him from behind, hitting the Full Nelson Facebuster for the win. While one can understand his concern, Douglas is going to need to block out the situation with his former friend before it costs him too much. The Dreamboats (Tommy Dreamer & Glamour Boy Shane) vs. The Southern Boys These two teams had an absolute barnburner of a match recently in Eugene with the Southern Boys coming out on top , and continued to burn down the house with this return match. Both teams went at it fist and fire for the whole length of this match, and after a considerable brawl, a clothesline by Dreamer on Armstrong set him up for the Glamour Profession (flying top rope elbow drop) by Shane to get the win. Both teams kept at it long after the bell, and something tells me another rematch is on the horizon. Mike Awesome vs. Virgilio Garcia Awesome's rampage through the West Coast continued as he swiftly and easily folded Garcia up and drove him to the mat with the Awesome Bomb. It looks like the Playboy Club have developed their own nuclear arsenal, and Awesome is primed and set to explode. Bret Hart vs. Chris Adams While much of the Hitman's anger with the Diamond Exchange has been focused on his former student Steve Austin, his hatred of "Gentleman" Chris Adams has continued unabated. In an evening of furious matches, this one was absolutely incendiary, with both men trying to tear each other to pieces. Bret was able to dodge the Superkick to catch Adams in a single arm roll up and just barely hold him down for the pinfall, but you can tell that this really settled nothing. Clearly, even as hot as it is, this war is only just starting to warm up.

Did he not have some appearances in Hamada's UWF?

Pacific Coast Wrestling show from McArthur Court, Eugene, June 16th The Suicide Blondes (Chris Candido & Louie Spicolli) vs. The Fighting Irish (Fit Finlay & Erin O'Grady) These two teams continued their run of great matches, with the Irish coming out on top following a Rocket Launcher on Candido that gave O'Grady the pinfall. Brian Lee vs. Dennis Condrey In a rematch from Seattle Showdown, Lee won by DQ when Condrey slugged him with Jim Cornette's tennis racquet. The Dreamboats (Tommy Dreamer & Glamour Boy Shane) vs. The Southern Boys A wild tag team bout with the Southern Boys just pulling out the win with a running Bulldog headlock by Armstrong on Dreamer Steven Regal vs. Mike Enos Regal forced the Destruction Crew member to tap out to the Regal Stretch, but you can tell he won't be satisfied until he gets his hands on Tony Atlas Shinya Hashimoto vs. Terry Gordy A battle of two big heavyweights that went to Gordy following a devastating lariat. Pacific Light Heavyweight Title Match : Eddie Guerrero © vs. Dean Malenko The evening closed with a classic Light Heavyweight Title defense from Guerrero against the Pacific Submission Champ, with both men going to a 30 minute time limit draw.

Pacific Coast Wrestling show from the Portland Memorial Coliseum , Portland , on Pacific Super Cards on ESPN / TSN, June 15th Dustin Rhodes vs. Mike Awesome The young Brigade member put up a fight, but wound up going down to Awesome and his terrifying Awesome Bomb. Phoenix Rising (Kensuke Sasaki & Toshiaki Kawada) vs. The Sin City Superstars (Reno Riggins & Mark Starr) Phoenix Rising continued their ascent as Sasaki forced Starr to tap out to the Strangle Hold Gamma. Jerry Lynn vs. The Jackal With the Sinister Minister in his corner, the Jackal tore into Lynn and defeated him with the Betrayal (top rope kneedrop). Dragon Azul vs. Scotty The Body Scotty has been increasing in confidence as the weeks go on, impossible as it might seem for his ego to possibly increase any more than it already has. His confidence was backed up by his performance, as despite a game effort by Dragon Azul, Scotty ultimately prevailed with the Body Shot (DDT). Pacific Tag Team Title Match : Stormfront (Al Snow & Alex Porteau) © vs. The Can-Am Express Having lost the Tag Team titles just a week after they won them, the Can-Ams were out to erase that loss. They came out strong but Stormfront were equally determined. The result was a ferocious match that shook the very rafters of the arena with every slam and suplex. LaFon was able to hit a Moonsault body press on Snow to bring them back the much desired Pacific Tag Team Titles. Pacific Television Title Match : Buddy Rose © vs. Scott Hall Hall came out loaded for bear, but Rose used his trademark cunning to keep just outside of the range of Hall's shots. Mike Awesome was at ringside along with Tina Ferrari, but one too many attempts to reach into the ring and interfere led to the ref ordering him to return to the locker room. It seemed like the TV title was within Hall's grasp when he looked to be getting Rose up for the Gator Breaker (Fallaway Slam). Then , out of nowhere, Scotty The Body appeared, coming off the top rope with an elbow smash to the back of Hall's head. While the ref called for a DQ, Scotty and Rose put the boots to Hall until Brian Pillman rushed out and dropkicked them both out of the ring, following which the Playboy Club beat the retreat. Rose had lost the match, but the Television Title was still his, and that was how he liked it. Pacific Heavyweight Title Match : Ricky Steamboat © vs. The Soultaker Steamboat still seemed not fully himself after his match with the Jackal last week, but still gave it all he had, prevailing over the big man of the Wild Things with a running cross body press.

Pacific Wrestling Showcase from the Portland Sports Arena, Portland , on ESPN / TSN, June 14th Big Bully Busick vs. Nick Stanbury Nick Busick, or, as he now insists on being called, Big Bully Busick shocked many when he made his return to the West Coast last week. While he had always been a friend to the fans, he turned his back on them as he came in under the employ of Jim Cornette. He seemed more than willing to do Cornette's bidding as he effortlessly tossed Stanbury around the ring, all while the Louisville Lip cackled from ringside. Busick painfully wrapped Stanbury up in the Bully Bender (stump puller), forcing him to surrender the match. Even with the Midnight Express away in the WWF, Cornette still is taking care of business in PCW. Interview : Don Coss stands in the ring Coss : Ladies and gentlemen, my next guests keep finding ways to draw attention to themselves … the Diamond Exchange! The crowd boos as Diamond Dallas Page struts out, accompanied by the Destruction Crew, Chris Adams and the man who is apparently their newest member, Steve Austin. Austin seems in particularly to be enjoying the negative reaction of the fans. Coss : Diamond Dallas Page, it looks like you have a brand new recruit to your ranks. DDP :You bet, Daddy-O! I told that tattooed freak Bam Bam Bigelow that he can be replaced, and not only has he been replaced, he has been surpassed! Stunning Steve is Diamond Exchange all the way, and he is going to burn like a great big beautiful star! Coss : Steve Austin, many people are disappointed in you for betraying Bret Hart to join up with the Diamond Exchange. Austin : You watch your mouth, Coss, before I introduce it to another part of your face. I don't owe Bret Hart squat! Hart was doing nothing for me but holding me back. DDP appreciates what the Stunning One can do and is going to – He is cut off by Bret Hart bursting through the curtain and storming out to the ring. Hart : Steve, what are you doing with these creeps? I did everything I could to help you. Austin : Oh, did you , now? All you did was keep me in your shadow! Tried to turn me into some kind of goody two shoes like yourself. DDP isn't going to keep me in a box, like you did, he know what I am really about. DDP : You just watch who you are calling "creeps", Hit-Scum! In case you can't count, there's five of us and only one of you? You sure you want to mess with those odds? Bret silently holds his ground, but the odds are not in his favor. The odds tip when Bam Bam Bigelow comes out, carrying a folded metal chair and looking ready for anything. While they still had the numbers, they weren't about to risk anything with that chair, so they then retreated to the locker room. But as they were leaving, Austin turned to Hart and said, "We aren't done!" Wings Of Fire (Vic Steamboat & The Eagle) vs. The Juice Crew (Beetljuice & Big Juice) Little by little, Wings Of Fire have been getting more attention in the PCW tag team ranks. Taking on the always unpredictable Juice Crew, they showed an assure confidence throughout the match. They were firmly in control of the match when the sinister Jackal made his presence felt. Much like he did last week against the Demon's brother, the masked man snuck down to ringside and gave Vic Steamboat a face full of his notorious Crimson Death Dust. This left Steamboat easy prey for the Juice Loosener (Bearhug by Big Juice into a slingshot lariat by Beetlejuice), giving the win to the Juice Crew. The Dust had an even more severe effect on Vic, who had to be helped from the ring by both the Eagle and the referee. The Jackal is a menace and someone needs to do something about him soon. Interview : Don Coss stands in the ring Coss : Ladies and gentlemen, my next guests remain one of the most popular groups on the West Coast … the Brigade! The crowd cheers as Scott Hall, Brian Lee, Dustin Rhodes and Billy Gunn walk out to the ring. Although smiling, the Brigade members seem a bit subdued as they join Coss. Coss : Well, Scott Hall , it seems like no matter what, the fans love you! Hall : That's great, Don, I just wish we were more deserving of that love. We've been having a bit of a rough ride of late. Seattle Showdown was not our best effort. But we want to assure them that we are still in the fight, and we – Once again, the interview is cut off, much to the annoyance of Don Coss. Barry Windham, looking much abashed, heads to the ring, leading to scowls from Hall and Lee and wary glances from Rhodes and Gunn. Hall : What do you want, Windham? Make it quick. Windham : Guys … I know I am the last person you want to see right now. I walked out on you, turned my back on the Brigade. I admit it, I was jealous and self centred. I was upset that Curt Hennig got the Pacific Title that I thought should have been mine. I got the title back, but it cost me my honour. Worse, I dragged Curt down with me, and now he's gone. Now I've lost everything. I lost my friends, I lost my title, I lost my respect. Now I need help. The Terror Collective have it out for me, and I can't seem to do anything to stop them. No matter what I do, I can't overcome their numbers. I know you have no reason to trust me anymore, but …. Please. Help me. Hall : Barry, you've fallen too far. After everything you did as Pacific Heavyweight Champ, there's no going back for you. No dice. Lee : Barry, you made your choice. You turned your back on the Brigade, so it's no for me. Rhodes : Barry … your family and my family have known each other for years. My father was always so proud of you for all of your accomplishments. When you joined the Neighborhood Of Evil, you broke his heart. You let us all down. But still … I can't believe there's no hope for you. I believe there is good in you, Barry. If you need my help, you've got it. Gunn : Hey, far be it from me to turn my back on a fellow Texan. I'm in. Hall : Are you sure about that, guys? The Terror Collective are mean, tough hombres, and there are 5 of them. Rhodes : I know what I'm doing. Besides, 3 tough Texans are a match for 5 of anybody. Hall : All right, then. You've got my blessing. Good luck. Brian Pillman vs. Erin O'Grady After losing the TV Title to Buddy Rose at Vegas Vengeance, Flyin' Brian has come back strong, going toe to toe with Mike Awesome and Scotty The Body. Tonight, he took on the always feisty Leprechaun, and the two had a fast paced and exciting match. Brian was able to come out on top with the Air Pillman, but after the match helped up O'Grady and gave him a handshake of respect. A convincing win, but you know he still has the Playboy Club on his mind. Dan Severn & Steve Blackman vs. The Blood Syndicate (Genichiro Tenryu & Masahiro Chono) After going through a bit of a slump, Dan Severn is back an on the hunt to move back up the ranks. Severn made a comeback against Chono at Seattle Showdown, but now he and his right hand man Steve Blackman would be facing both members of the Blood Syndicate. This would prove to be an incredibly hard hitting match. Tenryu was coming in hot off two big challenges for the Pacific Heavyweight Title, but Severn refused to back down an inch from the Japanese legend. Tenryu wound up folding up Blackman in a big Power Bomb for the victory, but you could tell that Severn left wanting another crack at him.

According to Wikipedia, David Tyler Cash, the future Kid Kash, debuted in October, 1989.

Seems I forgot to post this. Billy Jack Haynes goes to the AWA for Nick Busick.

All good with me.

The Can-Ams actually lost in Vancouver.

Pacific Coast Wrestling show from the Kelowna Memorial Arena, Kelowna, June 9th The Suicide Blondes (Chris Candido & Louie Spicolli) vs. The Fighting Irish (Fit Finlay & Erin O'Grady) This was a rematch from their time limit draw at Seattle Showdown. Another highly competitive match when the Blondes prevailed after Candido hit the New Jersey Jam on O'Grady. Billy Gunn vs. Dennis Condrey The veteran wiles of Condrey turned out to be too much for Gunn to overcome, with Condrey pinning him following a Full Nelson Facebuster. Maxx Payne vs. Mike Enos A battle between two powerhouses went to Payne after the Payne Threshold (front layout suplex) Scott Hall & The Dreamboats (Tommy Dreamer & Glamour Boy Shane) vs. Mike Awesome & The Sin City Superstars (Mark Starr & Reno Riggins) The Playboy Club members got the win after Awesome hit the Awesome Bomb on Dreamer. Hall and Awesome seemed to be calling each other out after the match, but the Dreamboats and the Superstars interjected themselves before things got too crazy Cactus Jack & Shane Douglas vs. The Soultaker & Big Juice Things got very crazy in this match, a wild bout where Cactus was able to pin Big Juice following a Double Arm DDT California Title Match : Steve Austin © vs. Steven Regal Regal did his best to win the title back, but Austin stole the victory with a rollup in the corner with both his feet on the ropes Pacific Light Heavyweight Title Match : Eddie Guerrero © vs. Beetlejuice The evening closed with another incredible Light Heavyweight Title match, where Guerrero forced his former partner to surrender to the Gory Special

Pacific Coast Wrestling show from the Pacific Coliseum, Vancouver on Pacific Super Cards on ESPN / TSN , June 8th Bam Bam Bigelow vs. Masahiro Chono The Beast From The East has really been feeling his oats lately, carrying that momentum forward by defeating the always tough Chono with a Slingshot Splash Brian Pillman vs. Scotty The Body Pillman is mad as hell and not going to take this anymore. His anger got the better of him as he and Scotty took the action outside of the ring, slugging it out until the referee counted both men out. Shinya Hashimoto vs. Chris Adams Partway through the match, Bret Hart rushed to the ring and attacked Adams, giving the English Gentleman the win by DQ. It took both Hashimoto and Bam Bam Bigelow to pull Bret off Adams. Barry Windham vs. Ted Dibiase With both the MVC and the OWC prowling around the ring, this provided enough distraction for both Windham and the ref to allow Dibiase to clobber Windham from behind with the loaded glove to steal the win. Pacific Tag Team Title Match : The Can-Am Express © vs. Stormfront (Al Snow & Alex Porteau) After the Can-Ams took the titles at Seattle Showdown, the rematch proved to be another long tag team classic. Snow was able to catch Lafon coming off the ropes with a Snow Bomb to give the titles back to Stormfront. Pacific Heavyweight Title Match : Ricky Steamboat © vs. The Jackal The Jackal came out accompanied by a strange bearded man in a fez and carrying a cane, referred to only as the Sinister Minister. Steamboat seemed a bit drained after his epic match with Tenryu at Seattle Showdown, but still seemed to have the match well in hand. That was until the Jackal threw a handful of the Crimson Death Dust in his face right in front of the referee. This led to a DQ finish, but the Jackal didn't seem to mind, pouncing on Steamboat and tearing into him until both members of Wings Of Fire rushed to the ring and he scampered out. Steamboat was choking and gasping as they helped him back to the locker room.

Pacific Wrestling Showcase from the Victoria Memorial Arena, Victoria, on ESPN / TSN, June 7th Wings Of Fire (Vic Steamboat & The Eagle) vs. Bobby Mason & Dan Barry At Seattle Showdown, the team of Vic Steamboat and the Eagle had a tough debut against the Miracle Violence Combination, but acquitted themselves in that loss. Tonight, they had a bit more of an even playing field and showed just how high they could soar against the rookies Mason and Barry. They impressed the crowd with their high flying and combination moves, pinning Barry when the Eagle dropkicked him into a Demon Suplex (Tiger Suplex) from Steamboat. Despite their rough start, it looks like the sky is the limit for Wings Of Fire. Interview : Don Coss stands in the ring. Coss : Ladies and gentlemen, my next guests made wrestling history at Seattle Showdown … Jim Cornette and the Midnight Express. The crowd explodes in boos as Jim Cornette comes out, along with Stan Lane, Bobby Eaton, Dennis Condrey, and Sherri Martel. Jim Cornette seems especially full of himself, but who can blame him? With is men carrying two sets of title belts, he is on top of the wrestling world. Coss : Well, Jim Cornette, you seem especially full of yourself today. Cornette: Well, Donnie Boy, who can blame me? My boys are carrying two sets of title belts, and we are on top of the wrestling world! We are the PCW Golden State Tag Team champs! We beat out a bunch of lesser but still worthy teams to win the Crockett Cup! And now, we beat the Rock & Roll - , err, I mean the Rockers to win the WWF United States Tag Team Titles! We're so great, we are winning titles in promotions we have never even wrestled in! We might just go to the AWA and take their tag titles to add to our already bulging trophy case. The Guerreros and the Olympians should keep one eye over their shoulders , just in case. No, but seriously, folks … with this latest triumph comes great responsibility, and that leads to some sad news. My boys now have the duty of defending their hard won belts in the WWF, so you fans out there will be deprived of seeing their handsome faces for as long as they hold them. Given that they are nigh unbeatable, that may well be a long , long time. I have spoken to a good friend of mine out east, and he is going to look out for their business interests for the time they are there. I am also sending with them my special friend, the Femme Fatale herself, "Sensational" Sherri Martel, to watch their backs. Sherri : You bet, Jimmy Boy. I will look out for them like they were my own family, and treat them as well as I have been treating you. *Cornette beams* Coss : All things considered, Jim Cornette, this has to be a bit of a comedown for you, since for the time being, you will now only have Dennis Condrey to do your dirty work for you. Cornette : Both insulting and wrong, Coss. You see, I got to thinking, as I frequently do. I got to miss having Big Bubba around to watch out for my interests while my boys got the work done in the ring. Big Bubba is off doing great things, but I remembered there was someone else who I felt had a lot of potential. Apart from an unfortunate tendency to care about what the fans thought, he had the power and toughness to do anything he wanted to. He proved me right by showing just what he could in another promotion, but I reached out and made him an offer. Now people had best think again before messing with me, otherwise they will have to deal with Big Bully Busick! The fans gasp in shock as Nick Busick, who hadn't been seen in PCW in over a year, came out, wearing a derby hat and a ferocious scowl. Coss : Nick Busick, I can't believe what I am seeing! The last time we saw you, you were a part of Leo Burke's Army. I can't imagine what could convince you to work for a man like Jim Cornette. Busick : That's Big Bully Busick, Coss, and don't you dare forget it. Yes, I used to be friends with Leo Burke. I used to be a solider in his Army. Now, Leo Burke is gone. The Army is no more. I was everybody's best friend back then. Babysitting a bunch of kids while they rose in the ranks and got all the title shots. I got sick of them holding me back, so I went elsewhere and sought new opportunities. And you know what? Without them weighing me down, I went straight up the rankings. I was AWA TV champion for over a year! Then Jim Cornette gave me a call, and he met my price. He's a manager of champions. Everyone here is either a current or former champion. As long as he is paying the bills and gets me the title shots, I am his man. So, anyone who gets in the way of anyone in Camp Cornette, they are going to get Bullied! Steve Blackman vs. Tony Atlas Tony Atlas has been on an absolute rampage since returning to the West Coast. A particular focus of his ire has been Steven Regal, and while Atlas prevailed in his match with Regal at Seattle Showdown, but the young Englishman's resilience in said match has particularly gotten under the skin of Atlas. He seemed to be out to take his frustrations out on Steve Blackman, but the Lethal Weapon was having none of it, going toe to toe with the powerful Atlas. Atlas eventually exploded in a fit of rage, overpowering Blackman and pinning him following a piledrive. A convincing victory, but sooner or later, Atlas will once again have to deal with Steven Regal. Interview : Don Coss stands in the ring Coss : Ladies and gentlemen, my next guests have generated a lot of controversy since their arrival in Pacific Coast Wrestling … the Triangle Of Terror. The crowd boos, but not too much, as they seem intimidated by the imposing trio. Ted Dibiase, Steve Williams and Terry Gordy seem amused by their effect on the fans as they join Coss in the ring. Coss : Ted Dibiase, you must be pleased with the amount of success you and your men have had in PCW. Dibiase : Only the start of great things, Coss. I am , as I have said, a Man Of Means, and won't be satisfied with anything less than total domination of Pacific Coast Wrestling. These victories are merely a stepping stone to … Dibiase is cut off by a commotion at the back. At first , he seems annoyed, but then his face spreads in a sly grin when he sees the source of the interruption. Billy Jack Haynes, along with the rest of the Oregon Wrecking Crew, are making their way to the ring. Gary Albright and David Young are both frowning, while Billy Jack looks furious with his arm in a sling from his recent injuries at the hands of the Triangle. Billy Jack : Dibiase, you and me are gonna have a talk, right now! For the past while, you have been harassing me and my boys with your stupid light show. Now, you ever cost me my Submission Title after you attacked me. What have I ever done to you? Why do you have to get involved in my business? I am giving you one chance to explain, but if I don't like what I hear, there is going to be hell to pay. Dibiase : Billy Jack, you have it all wrong! It was all meant to be a compliment. As I said, we won't be satisfied until we thoroughly control PCW. A triangle, no matter how great, is still too small for our ambition. Our aim is for a Terror Collective. We have been keeping a close eye on the OWC, and for the most part, like what we see. Incredible potential. Join our collective, and you will be amply rewarded. *to Billy Jack, dismissively* Not you, son, you're damaged goods. Billy Jack : Damaged goods, am I? Think you can just waltz in here and take my team away from me? Well, the Oregon Wrecking Crew aren't for sale to anyone! Let's show him, guys! Albright and Young look at each other, nod … and Albright grabs Billy Jack in a waistlock and takes him over in a belly to back suplex! He then pulls him up from the mat and whips him into Young, who executes his dreaded Spinebuster Slam on him. The rest proceeded to commit a savage battering to Billy Jack until several refs came out, at which point the five men made their way back to the locker room together. It looks like the Oregon Wrecking Crew are now a part of the renamed Terror Collective … minus one member. The Suicide Blondes (Chris Candido & Louie Spicolli) vs. The Southern Boys The competition in the PCW Tag Team division has always been hot, but lately has been reaching a fever pitch . Both of these teams were coming off strong performances at Seattle Showdown, and fought hard in this match to come out on top. It took a vicious blindside from Armstrong on Candido to set up a spinning backfist by Smothers to give the win to the Southern Boys. In spite of this loss, the Blondes still remain a team to keep an eye on. Bret Hart vs. Wayne Bloom Bret Hart was done dirty at Seattle Showdown, with his now former pupil Steve Austin turning on him and costing him his match with Chris Adams. For all that he has been a target of the Diamond Exchange, the Hitman is now taking aim at every member, and is starting with one half of the Destruction Crew. Bloom seemed unprepared for the sheer ferocity of Hart's attack, and despite his best efforts, wound up being battered all over the ring. Bret got him down on the mat and locked him in the Sharpshooter, forcing him to surrender. He would have probably held it on longer after the match, but he saw Chris Adams menacing him from one side outside the ring, with Austin staring at him from the other side. Bret was caught in a trap, but not for long as Bam Bam Bigelow rushed out to the ring and had his back. DDP, Adams and Austin realized that they had somewhere else to be, and pulled Bloom from the ring before dragging him back to the locker room. Regardless, both sides are not done with each other by a long chalk.
