Pacific Coast Wrestling show from McArthur Court, Eugene, April 14th Brian Lee vs. Fit Finlay A bare knuckle donnybrook that went to the Bulldozer when he hit the Prime Time Slam on Finlay. Kensuke Sasaki vs. The Soultaker Despite a valiant effort from the young Japanese star, the Soultaker pinned him following the Exorcism (Spine Snapper Backbreaker) Steve Blackman & The Suicide Blondes (Chris Candido & Louie Spicolli) vs. Steven Regal & The Can-Am Express This was a long and exciting six man tag with a bit of a surprise ending when Candido got the one two three on Regal after a backdrop suplex. The crowd exploded and his teammates celebrated with Candido for his pinfall over the California champ. Maxx Payne vs. Bam Bam Bigelow These two big men had a jarring battle that ended when Bigelow caught Payne in the corner with an avalanche and followed up with a slingshot splash for the victory. After the match, DDP was acting like he didn't even know Bam Bam, an act which seemed to visibly puzzle Payne. Pacific Submission Title Match : Billy Jack Haynes © vs. Toshiaki Kawada This time, the Triangle Of Terror symbol did make an appearance as Haynes made his way to the ring, infuriating the Oregon native. The enraged Billy Jack took it out on Kawada, forcing the Japanese star to tap out to the Full Nelson. Golden State Tag Team Title Match : The Rainbow Warriors (Vic Steamboat & Brian Adams) © vs. The Juice Crew (Beetlejuice & Big Juice) The evening closed with a high intensity tag match that went to the champions after Steamboat caught Big Juice in the Demon Suplex (Tiger Suplex)

Pacific Coast Wrestling show from the Portland Memorial Coliseum , Portland , on Pacific Super Cards on ESPN / TSN, April 12th Jerry Lynn vs. Dean Malenko Another classic showdown between these two young stars that went to a 20 minute time limit draw. The Dragon Kings (Dragon Azul & Silver King) vs. The Sin City Superstars (Scotty The Body & Mark Starr) The Superstars wasted no time in getting back into action, with a highly competitive bout that Starr took by hitting the Starrburst Suplex (Slingshot Suplex) on Silver King The Dreamboats (Tommy Dreamer & Glamour Boy Shane) vs. The Midnight Express After Bobby Eaton was badly battered at the hands of the Southern Boys a few weeks ago, we haven't seen too much from the Midnight Express lately. But after a statement of intent last week from Jim Cornette, The Express are back with a vengeance. Trisa Haye's boys put up a good fight, but Eaton and Lane would not be denied, pinning Shane following a Rocket Launcher. Scott Hall vs. Barry Windham There was no Triangle Of Terror symbol for this match but Windham was clearly on the lookout anyway. He was starting to make some headway against his former teammate in the Brigade until Curt Hennig charged into the ring and attacked Hall, leading to the Gator winning by DQ. Windham was furious with Hennig for interfering in his match, and the two argued in the ring before Windham stormed out to the locker room. Brian Pillman & Shinya Hashimoto vs. Buddy Rose & Mike Awesome Pillman went up to the top rope, but Tina Ferrari knocked him down to the mat, leaving him easy prey for the Awesome Bomb from Mike Awesome. Pacific Heavyweight Title Match : Ricky Steamboat © vs. Brian Christopher The Light Heavyweight Champ gave a considerable challenge to the Dragon, but Steamboat was able to pin him following a takeover suplex.

Pacific Wrestling Showcase from the Portland Sports Arena, Portland , on ESPN / TSN, April 11th Steve Austin vs. Cactus Jack The week opened up with a return match from a couple of weeks ago. In Los Angeles , these two young warriors went to a double countout, and were eager to sign a rematch to prove who was the better man. If anything, this match was even crazier, with each move from one wrestler seeming to fuel the anger of the other. Things got so out of hand that the ref tried to interpose himself between the two, only to get shoved to the ground by both men. That was enough for the ref to call for the DQ, resulting in another draw. It remains to be seen what it is going to take to get an ultimate resolution between these two, but you can bet it will be explosive. Eddie Guerrero vs. Beetlejuice Before they joined together in the Wild Things, these two wrestlers had some truly ferocious matches with each other. Now that they are once again on opposite sides of the fence, this match displayed just how far they had both come since then. While before, Guerrero seemed unnerved by his former partner's bizarre Beetlejuice antics, this time out, he was fierce but focused. After taking Beetlejuice down with a springboard dropkick, he swiftly went up top and came down with a Frog Splash to get the win. It looks like Eddie is looking to take his game to the next level, and with this match, he is certainly off to a good start. Interview : Don Coss stands in the ring Coss : Ladies and gentlemen, my next guests seem to have made some big changes lately … "Playboy" Buddy Rose and the Playboy Club! Rose, Tina Ferrari, Scotty The Body and Mike Awesome soak up the crowd boos like sunshine and are all smiles and confidence as they head out to the ring. Coss : Buddy Rose, I must say I am shocked at recent events. Johnny Ace seemed to be a big part of the Playboy Club, but last week, you and the rest of the Playboy Club showed him the door. Rose : Donnie Boy, I had a lot of faith in Johnny Ace, but he failed to live up to his potential. One look at him, he seemed to be Playboy Club material. He had the looks, he had the moves, he had the desire. But when it came down to it, he just didn't get the Playboy Club philosophy. You give to the Playboy Club, and the Playboy Club will give to you. Tina gets it, Scotty gets it, Big Mike gets it. Johnny, he wasn't a giver. All he could do was take. He kept expecting us to do his dirty work for him. Sure, we are all for one and one for all. But you've got to be able to get it done on your own as well. Johnny was lacking in moral fibre, so we handed him his walking papers. Now, we are a better and happier group because of it. Coss : But the Moondog Lonnie Mayne Memorial Tag Team Tournament is coming up in just a few weeks! He was supposed to be Scotty The Body's partner, and now you are going to have to scramble to find and work in a new partner in time for Vegas Vengeance! Scotty : Your lack of faith is disturbing, Coss. The Playboy Club always thinks several steps ahead and the moment we realized Ace was not working out, we already knew who would take him place. I needed someone I could trust to be my partner, a proved commodity who had already shown that he had what it takes to be a part of the Club. So I am incredibly happy to welcome back to the fold … "Marvelous" Mark Starr! Don Coss and the crowd are caught off guard. Mark Starr had not been seen in several months, but was also full of smiles as he rejoined the Playboy Club. Starr : Buddy ! Gang! Great to see you again! I just got back from holiday, visiting my family in England. What did I miss? Buddy : Oh, nothing much, apart from the one big thing. This is Mike. Say Hi, Mike. Awesome : Howdy. Starr : Cheers! Rose : So, there you have it. Once again, the Club is one big happy family. Vegas Vengeance will bring big things to us. And don't think we haven't got some more surprise to come. We are still the premiere group on the West Coast, so overlook us at your peril! Dustin Rhodes & The Southern Boys vs. The Oregon Wrecking Crew (Billy Jack Haynes, Gary Albright & David Young) As the OWC were heading out to the ring, once again the lights went out and the Triangle Of Terror symbol was beamed into the ring. This clearly rattled the trio, and the Southern Boys eagerly capitalized. Even their partner, Dustin Rhodes, seemed unnerved at the zeal with which they ran roughshod over the disorganized Wrecking Crew, culminating in Smothers knocking Young to the mat with a spinning backfist that got them the win. Whoever the Triangle Of Terror are, they are starting to make some powerful enemies. Bret Hart vs. Curt Hennig Mr. Perfect has been less than perfect lately, suffering several frustrating losses. Looking to get back on a winning path, he chose particularly stiff competition in the rising Hitman. The two started off in a technical battle, but Hennig seemed to take more short cuts as the match went on. The increasing recklessness led him to go for the Perfect Plex too soon, with Bret easily blocking it and countering with a cradle that got the one two three. Hennig was so upset that he kicked a chair into a guardrail on the way out. Temper temper, Curt.

Maybe you were thinking of Frank Bruno or possibly Lennox Lewis?

The "disagreement" in question was Simmons hitting Cactus with a tackle so hard it tore an abdominal muscle that put Cactus on the shelf for a few months.

Cactus might not 100% agree

PCW drops Johnny Ace, picks up Mark Starr.

Pacific Coast Wrestling show from the Kelowna Memorial Arena, Kelowna, April 7th Louie Spicolli vs. The Soultaker The Soultaker's rampage continues with another Exorcism (spine snapper backbreaker) victory, this time over Spicolli. Dan Severn vs. Fit Finlay Once again, Severn came out slow and somewhat lethargic. Finlay was having none of it, at one point full on slapping Severn to get some fight out of him. The Beast was shocked back into the match and was able to force Finlay to tap out to a half crab. Despite the surly nod of respect from Finlay, Severn still seemed downcast as he left the ring. Toshiaki Kawada vs. Buddy Rose Rose brought along Mike Awesome as an insurance policy for this match. He cashed that in when Tina Ferrari distracted the ref, allowing Awesome to rush into the ring and flatten Kawada with a mighty clothesline. Rose then hit the Inside Out Backbreaker for the dirty win. California Title Match : Steve Regal © vs. Chris Candido Another long title defense for Regal, going past 25 minutes before the champion was finally able to put down Candido with the Regal Plex. Golden State Tag Team Title Match : The Rainbow Warriors (Brian Adams & Vic Steamboat) © vs. Scotty The Body & Johnny Ace Ace came in battered and bruised from the previous night's shenanigans , as well as bearing a considerable chip on his shoulder with regards to his teammate. This was not helped by Scotty ignoring him for the entirety of the match, leaving Ace to get destroyed by the Warriors with the Refraction(suspended vertical suplex by Adams into a flying cross body press by Steamboat). After the match, Ace started arguing in the ring with Scotty as the rest of the Playboy Club came out to mediate … at least until Tina Ferrari nailed him from behind with a low blow. When Ace doubled over, Scotty hit the Body Shot. Rose then followed up with the Inside Out Backbreaker, and Awesome put him down for good with the Awesome Bomb. To add insult to injury, Tina spat on the prone form of Ace as the Playboy Club strutted out of the ring. It looks like Ace's tenure in the Playboy Club was not so Illustrious after all, and is most certainly at an end. Pacific Television Title Match : Brian Pillman © vs. The Jackal After the nonsense of the previous match, the evening closed out with a ferocious TV title defense, with Pillman outlasting the sinister Jackal and pinning him following a Victory Roll.

Pacific Coast Wrestling show from the Pacific Coliseum, Vancouver on Pacific Super Cards on ESPN / TSN , April 6th Jerry Lynn & The Dragon Kings (Dragon Azul & Silver King) vs. Dean Malenko & The Can-Am Express Another long and exciting six man tag that came to a sudden end when Malenko hit a Brainbuster on Lynn for the win. Brian Lee vs. David Young A real slobberknocker that went to the Bulldozer when Lee pinned the Roughneck following the Prime Time Slam Pacific Submission Title Match : Billy Jack Haynes © vs. Kensuke Sasaki Bizarrely, during Billy Jack's entrance to the ring, the lights went out and the Triangle Of Terror symbol was beamed into the ring. This rattled Haynes but he recomposed himself enough to hit the Shoulder Breaker before forcing Sasaki to tap out to the Full Nelson. It looks like now the Triangle Of Terror aren't restricting their torment to Barry Windham. Shinya Hashimoto vs. Johnny Ace Ace seemed to be looking throughout the match for the other members of the Playboy Club to come to his aid. Not a good time for anyone to be distracted, as Hashimoto capitalized with a spinning back heel kick and got the pinfall. Pacific Tag Team Title Match : The Destruction Crew © vs. The Dreamboats (Tommy Dreamer & Glamour Boy Shane) These two teams were rocking and rolling in a great tag title match that was marred by Johnny Ace charging into the ring to attack Tommy Dreamer. Once again, he seemed to be looking for backup from the rest of the Playboy Club, backup that was not forthcoming. Too bad for the Illustrious One, as it resulted in him being on the wrong end of a severe beatdown from both teams, who were equally incensed at him ruining their match. Pacific Heavyweight Title Match : Ricky Steamboat © vs. Masahiro Chono Steamboat was facing off another ferocious challenge from Masahiro Chono, who, as always, had his mentor Genichiro Tenryu in tow. This was a long and intense affair that ended with Steamboat dodging the Yakuza Kick and catching Chono in a crucifix to just barely hold his shoulders down for the one two three. After the match, Tenryu entered the ring for a good long staredown with Steamboat, but then returned to the locker room without further incident.

Pacific Wrestling Showcase from the Victoria Memorial Arena, Victoria, on ESPN / TSN, April 5th The Suicide Blondes (Chris Candido & Louie Spicolli) vs. The Fighting Irish (Fit Finlay & Erin O'Grady) While the PCW tag division boasts two strong champions in the Destruction Crew and the Rainbow Warriors, there are a lot of promising young teams that are fighting for contention. Two such teams were squaring off tonight, with the Blondes and the Irish having a tightly contested bout. While O'Grady was as feisty as ever and gave a real scrap to the Blondes, Spicolli was able to take him down with a Samoan Drop and get the win. None of this, of course, affected Finlay's faith in his young partner and, little by little, the Leprechaun is starting to blossom under the tutelage of the Belfast Bruiser. Billy Gunn vs. Curt Hennig In his short time in PCW, Billy Gunn has become one of the best liked competitors on the west coast. Always ready with a smile and a handshake for the fans, the amiable cowboy has quickly garnered the affection of the fans. This has given him the encouragement to get on a bit of a roll lately. In the last couple of weeks, he got a big win against Big Juice as well as hold his own in a knock down drag out fight with the dreaded Cactus Jack. He would face much more imposing competition in the former Pacific Heavyweight Champ Mr. Perfect. Gunn acquitted himself well but it seemed like it was going to go to Hennig when he had the Texan set up for the Perfect Plex. But then, Gunn locked his legs to block the Perfect Plex, then countered with the Sidewinder (spinning side suplex). One … two … THREE! The fans exploded in cheers as Gunn had pulled off the biggest win of his brief career. Billy seemed a bit flabbergasted that he had actually pulled it off, but he has given his momentum the biggest boost imaginable with this huge win. Interview : Don Coss stands in the ring Coss : Ladies and gentlemen, my next guests are the former Golden State Tag Team champions … James E. Cornette and the Midnight Express! Cornette and his men stalk past the booing fans as the head out to the ring. Cornette : You mind your tongue, Coss , or I will slice you from nape to chops! And never mind that former champions business! I am the manager of champions. My man, Brian Christopher, is the Pacific Light Heavyweight Champion and is right at this moment training for his next defense. Ever since we arrived in this Apocalyptic hellscape you call the Pacific Coast, we have dominated the tag team ranks like no other team before or since. Two time Pacific Tag Champs and Golden State champs, we have separated the contenders from the pretenders. And now , there is a pair of pretenders babysitting our titles for us. Steamboat and Adams … no, not you two, the other ones … you have had a nice time of it as the belle's of the ball. Well, I hope you have enjoyed your fairy tale reign, because it is about to strike Midnight! Your championship dreams are about to turn back into a beautiful pumpkin, and my boys are going to smash them like it is the day after Halloween! I say good day, sir! The Soultaker vs. Rory Freeman While the Wild Things have spread chaos wherever they go, one of the more predictable elements of the group was certain victory from the Soultaker. This monster has left a trail of broken bodies wherever he has gone, and that trail ran right through Rory Freeman. Soultaker folded, spindled and mutilated the rookie before polishing him off with the Exorcism (spine snapper backbreaker). Can anyone stop the Soultaker? Bret Hart vs. Barry Windham In the years since they have both been in PCW, these two second generation stars have faced off several times, and it has always been a classic match. As yet, Hart has not managed a decisive victory over the Widowmaker, but with Windham's recent distraction by the mysterious Triangle Of Terror, the odds might be tipping a bit more in Bret's favor. As can be expected, Windham was anxiously looking all around as he headed out, but his entrance was uninterrupted by any display from the Triangle. He and the Hitman got down to business and it was another highly competitive match, although unfortunately marred by a strange ending. Windham was able to hit the Western Lariat on Hart and was about to go for the cover, when the lights went out and the Triangle Of Terror symbol was beamed into the ring. When order was restored, Windham was freaking out in the ring, screaming, "Come out! Come out and face me!" As he was doing this, a groggy Bret had partially recovered and reflexively hit a dropkick that send Windham flying out of the ring. Windham was not able to make it back into the ring in time and lost the match by countout. Once he had recovered his wits, Windham went tearing off to the locker room to find the people or person responsible, leaving a confused Bret back in the ring. Whoever or whatever this Triangle Of Terror might be, the had best be ready to face Windham's fury when he catches up with them.

Just remembered that Leroy Brown has passed, as of September 6, 1988.

Always fun when the show ends in chaos! Devastation Inc. is finding out the hard way that Mr. Wonderful has friends.

Best memory, Taz was on the Low Blow version of WCW roster. When that was dissolved and Low Blow took over WWF, Taz went undrafted and somehow was not put on the Free Agent list.

I noticed that Sunshine is listed on my roster but at this point she has retired.

Pacific Coast Wrestling Show from the UCSB Event Center, Santa Barbara, March 31st Stormfront (Al Snow & Alex Porteau) vs. The Can-Am Express A furious battle that ended when Porteau pinned Lafon following a takeover suplex Maxx Payne vs. Mike Awesome A battle of the big men that, despite considerable efforts from Payne, Awesome took with a mighty lariat Brian Lee vs. Curt Hennig In something of a shock result, Lee countered an attempted Perfect Plex with a slingshot into the corner, then followed up with the Prime Time Slam to pull off the upset. Pacific Light Heavyweight Title Match : Brian Christopher © vs. Dragon Azul When Dragon went up to the top turnbuckle, Jim Cornette knocked him off with a tennis racquet shot. Christopher capitalized with the Chris Cross (Full Nelson Facebuster) to successfully defend his title. Chris Candido vs. Stan Lane Candido ducked a Savate Kick from Lane then caught him in a schoolboy rollup to get the one two three. California Title Match : Steven Regal © vs. Steve Blackman It looked like Blackman was going to have his second time limit draw of the weekend, but at the 28 minute mark, the champion hit the Regal Cutter and pull out the win.

Pacific Coast Wrestling show from the LA Sports Arena, Los Angeles, on Pacific Super Cards on ESPN / TSN, March 30th The Dreamboats (Tommy Dreamer & Glamour Boy Shane) vs. The Southern Boys The Wild Eyed Southern Boys came out extremely aggressively in this match, to the extent that they ended up losing by DQ when Armstrong shoved the ref to the mat. Louie Spicolli vs. Buddy Rose Despite an enthusiastic effort from Spicolli, Rose was his cool confident self and pinned him following the Inside Out Backbreaker. Dustin Rhodes vs. The Undertaker Dustin poured all he had into this match, going all out against the Dead Man, but the Undertaker was able to execute the Tombstone for the win. Bret Hart & The Force Of July (The Patriot & The Eagle) vs. Bam Bam Bigelow & The Destruction Crew While Bam Bam was tangling with Bret, the FOJ took down Enos with a double flying shoulder tackle to score the victory. Enos was clearly angry with Bigelow after the match for not breaking up the pin, although there wasn't really much the Beast From The East could do about it. Scott Hall vs. Barry Windham During an expectedly hotly contested bout, the lights went out and the Triangle Of Terror symbol was beamed into the ring. When the lights came back on, Barry Windham was furious, and stormed out to try to find the culprit, leading to him being counted out and the win going to a confused Scott Hall. Ricky Steamboat & Dan Severn vs. Genichiro Tenryu & Masahiro Chono A long and intense battle that went to the Blood Syndicate when Tenryu took Severn down with a belly to belly suplex

Pacific Wrestling Showcase from the Olympic Auditorium , Los Angeles , on ESPN / TSN, March 29th Jerry Lynn & The Suicide Blondes (Chris Candido & Louie Spicolli) vs. Dean Malenko & The Can-Am Express Lynn and Malenko have been lighting up the cards on TV shows and house shows alike with a series of hotly contested singles matches, and tonight, they would face off in a six man tag. Their partners were two of the most exciting tag teams in PCW's crowded tag division, and they certainly delivered in action. But the fans were most keen to see Lynn and Malenko square off, and gave a whoop whenever they were in the ring together. They kept the fans on their toes with plentiful near falls, but Lynn ultimately came out on top with a quickly executed Victory Roll. One can feel certain that this will only inspire Malenko to come out for the next match even more fixed on getting the win. Barry Windham vs. John Kenney Lately, the former Pacific champ has been at his wits end being tormented by the mysterious Triangle Of Terror. Going from notes to arena lights, this enigmatic entity has seemed to have made it's mission to drive Windham crazy. The Widowmaker wore a ferocious scowl on his face and was looking over his shoulder for any sign of the Triangle, whatever or whoever it was. There was no sign of either the Triangle or the symbol, so he instead focused on annihilating poor Kenney. Even clobbering him with the Western Lariat was not enough, and Windham followed up by hoisting Kenney's unconscious form up on the top turnbuckle and executing the Superplex to finally put him out of his misery. Even then, Windham kept glancing around after the match. Something tells me it won't be long before Windham cracks up. Steve Blackman vs. Shinya Hashimoto With Dan Severn in the doldrums following his loss of the Pacific Submission Title, Steve Blackman has taken it on himself to bring the Citadel back up to a position of prominence. He brought that positive energy into his match with Shinya Hashimoto. The Lethal Weapon and the Japanese star had a high energy battle of kicks and attempted submissions, neither man holding dominance for long and going to a 10 minute time limit draw. Despite not getting the win, Blackman was quite enthusiastic after the match and eagerly shook hands and bowed with Hashimoto, which Hashimoto graciously returned. We will see if Blackman is able to light a fire under the rest of the Citadel. The Force Of July (The Patriot & The Eagle) vs. The Juice Crew (Beetle Juice & Big Juice) The Force Of July have been a beloved team among the PCW fans pretty much ever since they made their debut on the West Coast. That said, of late, they have found a persistent annoyance in the Wild Things team of the Juice Crew. The bizarre duo have bedeviled the masked pair with their constant skullduggery and bizarre behaviour , and this match was no exception. Despite the Juice Crew's outlandish tactics, the Force Of July pulled out the win when the Patriot caught Beetlejuice coming off the ropes with a scoop powerslam. The FOJ are looking to rid themselves of this nuisance before they can gear up for a run at the champions. Dustin Rhodes vs. Chris Adams Dustin Rhodes has been in the wrestling business for a bit over a year, and in that time has started to carve out a comfortable niche for himself outside of the shadow of his legendary father . With a solid run as California Champion now complete, Dustin finds himself looking for fresh challenges, and certainly picked a formidable one in Chris Adams. Dustin more than held his own against the English Gentleman, and was on the verge of finishing off Adams with the Running Bulldog Headlock, only for Diamond Dallas Page to reach in and grab his leg to block the move. This gave Adams to opportunity to counter with a Belly To Back Suplex and, with a fistful of trunks, stole the win. Despite the disappointing result , Rhodes certainly proved he is not to be taken lightly. Steve Austin vs. Cactus Jack The next match featured two competitors at very different points in their trajectory. Stunning Steve is on a high after his big win at Aloha Spectacular, and is looking to capitalize to further his still emerging career. Cactus, on the other hands, is finding himself increasingly at odds with the Wild Things, the group he founded, and is struggling to prove that he is still the one to be in charge. Both men were very aggressive in this match, with a plethora of flying fists throughout the match. It wasn't too long before the action spilled outside the ring, and the two were so focused on their brawling that they failed to notice that the ref had counted them both out of the match. Cactus has long been known for his violent tendencies, but Austin is showing himself to have something of a hot temper of his own. Pacific Television Title Match : Brian Pillman © vs. Johnny Ace Flyin' Brian has been having his own great run as Pacific Television Champion, but has lately found himself plagued at every turn by the Playboy Club. Once again, he would be facing them with the title on the line, this time in the form of the Illustrious Johnny Ace, and Ace had Buddy Rose, Tina Ferrari, Mike Awesome and Scotty The Body in his corner. The ref swiftly laid down the law and declared that, while he wouldn't ban them from ringside, he gave them strict directions that , if he caught even a whiff of interference from them, he would not only disqualify Ace, he would dish out heavy fines to everyone in the Playboy Club. Regardless, Ace kept looking to the other members of the Club to take an active hand throughout the match, with annoyed Rose pointing to the ref whenever he did so. Ace wound up sufficiently distracting himself that a precision dropkick from Pillman sent him flying out of the ring. When he returned to the ring, Pillman caught him in a German Suplex that got the pinfall to successfully defend his title. As they returned to the locker room, Rose, Ferrari and Scotty were all glancing at each other and silently nodding. Hmmmm …..

"Toronto is just like New York City except without all the stuff!"

Pacific Coast Wrestling show from the Selland Arena, Fresno, March 24th The Suicide Blondes (Chris Candido & Louie Spicolli) vs. The Can-Am Express A close tag team duel that went to the Can-Ams with a Cobra Clutch suplex from Lafon on Candido. The Dragon Kings (Dragon Azul & Silver King) vs. The Jackal & Beetlejuice This fierce battle went to the Dragon Kings with Silver King catching Beetlejuice in the Silver Crash (diving Samoan Drop). Billy Gunn vs. Cactus Jack A crazy brawl that wound up going to a no contest when the ref was unable to get the match under control. Maxx Payne vs. Johnny Ace Big Maxx Payne took down Ace with the Payne Threshold (front layout suplex) Pacific Submission Title Match : Billy Jack Haynes © vs. Toshiaki Kawada Kawada was unable to get the powerful Haynes in the Stretch Plum , and wound up submitting to the Full Nelson California Title Match : Steven Regal © vs. Vic Steamboat The Demon gave the champ a considerable challenge but ultimately was pinned following the Regal Suplex

Pacific Coast Wrestling show from the Cow Palace , San Francisco, on Pacific Super Cards on ESPN / TSN, March 23rd Jerry Lynn vs. Dean Malenko Malenko attempted a Brainbuster, but Lynn flipped out of it and countered with a German Suplex that got the three count. Dustin Rhodes & The Dreamboats (Tommy Dreamer & Glamour Boy Shane) vs. Buddy Rose, Mike Awesome & Scotty The Body Dreamer had Scotty locked in the Dream Weaver (modified Sleeper) but was clobbered from behind by Mike Awesome. The allowed Scotty to hit the Body Shot (single arm DDT) to give the win to the Playboy Club Dan Severn vs. Stan Lane In his first singles match since losing the Pacific Submission Title, Severn seemed tentative against the Man With Educated Feet. Severn was able to rally and pin Lane after a takeover suplex, but seemed quite frustrated after the match. Pacific Light Heavyweight Title Match : Brian Christopher © vs. Eddie Guerrero Guerrero crashed into Christopher in a dive outside the ring, leading to both men being counted out. Pacific Tag Team Title Match : The Destruction Crew © vs. The Southern Boys The champs won by DQ when Smothers hit Enos with the Crew's sledgehammer. Pacific Heavyweight Title Match : Ricky Steamboat © vs. Masahiro Chono In a long and hard hitting match with Genichiro Tenryu at ringside, Steamboat was ultimately able to put down Chono with a Diving Crossbody.

Pacific Wrestling Showcase from the Oakland Alameda County Arena, Oakland, on ESPN / TSN, March 22nd Billy Gunn vs. Big Juice In his short time on the West Coast, Billy Gunn has had his share of both wins and losses, but at the same time has made many friends among the fans. No matter what fortune has thrown at the amiable Texan, he has faced it all with a ready grin and a willingness to get back up on the proverbial horse. He had his work cut out for him tonight as he faced the powerhouse of the Juice Crew. Big Juice was certainly a formidable opponent, but Gunn came back and knocked him to the mat with a spectacular dropkick. He then followed up with the Sidewinder (spinning side suplex) to get the win. Gunn is clearly determined to make a name for himself in PCW. Brian Adams vs. Genichiro Tenryu Slowly but surely, Genichiro Tenryu has carved an impressive path through Pacific Coast Wrestling. As yet undefeated in singles competition, Tenryu has his sights set on the Pacific Heavyweight Title. Adams did everything he could in an heroic effort, but the Japanese legend always had an answer for it. After a series of jarring power moves, Tenryu knocked the "Crusher" out with an Enzuigiri and pinned him. Ricky Steamboat has a hot contender on his trail. Interview : Don Coss stands in the ring Coss : Ladies and gentlemen, my next guest is the former Pacific Heavyweight Champion … Barry Windham! The crowd loudly boos Windham but he pays them no heed, wearing a ferocious scowl as he stalks to the ring. Coss : Barry, I couldn't help but notice that Paul Bearer and the rest of the Neighborhood Of Evil aren't with you. Is something amiss? Windham : *grabbing the microphone* You shut your face and mind your business, Coss. I have something to say! For the last few weeks, somebody has been slipping me notes. In my locker, in my gear bag, on my car windshield, always the same notes. This triangle symbol and the message … "The Triangle Of Terror is coming for you!" Now this stupid triangle symbol keeps showing up before my matches. Well, I am sick and tired of this crap! I don't know who it is, but you had better knock it off. Is it you, Hall? The Citadel? Cornette? Buddy Rose … you've had it in for me since I beat you for the title. That idiot in the mask? I don't care! You want to come after me, do it face to face, like a man! I'm not going to give you a second warning! The Force Of July (The Patriot & The Eagle) vs. The Fighting Irish (Fit Finlay & Erin O'Grady) "The Leprechaun" Erin O'Grady is another young star in the making who has ben gradually forging a reputation it the territory. No matter what the result of the match, his opponent always come out knowing they have been in a fight, and his mentor Fit Finlay has been a constant source of support and encouragement for his feisty nature. The fan favorite team of the Force Of July did everything they could to corral him, but it was like trying to tame a wildcat. It took a mighty double flying clothesline to keep him down for good, and afterwards, the Patriot and the Eagle were looking at him with a new respect. David Young vs. Travis Sampson Keeping with the theme of rookies making an impact, the "Roughneck" David Young has moved fast since his arrival, forming quick allies in the Oregon Wrecking Crew and being a big part of their reign of terror. Sampson was undoubtedly regretting signing this contract, being swiftly and easily dismantled by Young before being taken down for good with the Spinebuster Slam. People had best be on their guard with the OWC, no matter which one they are facing. Shinya Hashimoto vs. Bam Bam Bigelow While Young is secure in his friendship with the Oregon Wrecking Crew, relations seem to have soured between Bigelow and the Diamond Exchange. After suffering some hard fought losses, the Beast From The East has found himself the proverbial unfavorite child of DDP's family. He tried to make up for it in this match by taking the fight right to Hashimoto, but the Japanese star capitalize on his aggression and lure him into recklessly making costly mistakes. Page's annoyance in his man's performance increased as the match went on, and when Hashimoto got Bigelow up for a body slam, Page took matters into his own hands, reaching into the ring with his cane and whacking Hashimoto's knee. This caused Hashimoto to topple over with Bigelow on top, causing Bam Bam to get the pinfall. Regardless of the result, DDP had a look of intense disgust on his face as they left the ring.

I know he had that exhibition match with Bock in UWFi

Will always remember a call I got from my wrestling buddy Jim in mid 1991, where he literally said , "Did you see the WCW debut of future WWF world champion Stunning Steve Austin?" Austin was one of these guys who showed pretty much from the get go that he was the real deal.

Pacific Coast Wrestling show from McArthur Court, Eugene, March 17th Kensuke Sasaki vs. Doug Furnas Furnas pinned Sasaki following a rana, a surprising move from the big man. Eddie Guerrero vs. Erin O'Grady In a fast paced match, Eddie came out on top after hitting the Frog Splash on the Leprechaun . Toshiaki Kawada vs. Phil Lafon Phoenix Rising evened the score with the Can-Am Express after Kawada knocked out Lafon with a spin kick to the head.

Cage Match : Bret Hart vs. Bam Bam Bigelow An exhausting weekend for the Hitman as he is in the main event on back to back nights.

Pacific Coast Wrestling show from the Portland Memorial Coliseum , Portland , on Pacific Super Cards on ESPN / TSN, March 16th Brian Lee vs. The Jackal "Bulldozer" Brian Lee came out determined to keep his momentum going from his win the previous day, and was full of confidence going into his match with the masked man. Part way through, Lee's old enemy Cactus Jack came to ringside, but instead of interfering in the match, he simply stared at the Jackal. With the Jackal so distracted, Lee was able to take Jackal down with a clothesline followed by the Prime Time Slam for the win. After the match, the Jackal and Cactus Jack started arguing but the rest of the Wild Things came out to calm things down, God help us. Steve Austin vs. Bobby Eaton Steve Austin, on the other hand, was coming off a loss the day before and was very much set on making up for it. Bobby came in already battered and bruised from the beating he had taken the day before from the Southern Boys, and Austin eagerly capitalized on it. Austin was all over Eaton throughout the match, and Beautiful Bobby was ultimately easy prey for the Stun Gun. You definitely don't want to show any weakness to Stunning Steve. Jerry Lynn vs. Dean Malenko After their recent time limit draw, many were eager to see just how this battle between Lynn and Malenko would go. Both men had the advantage at different points in the match, but it wound up going to Malenko after a jarring brainbuster. Shinya Hashimoto vs. Fit Finlay This would be a furious clash between two of the toughest men in PCW. Neither man seemed about to give an inch, but Hashimoto was able to grind down Fit Finlay enough to hit the Leaping Spike DDT and get the win. Brian Pillman, Billy Gunn & The Dreamboats (Tommy Dreamer & Glamour Boy Shane) vs. The Playboy Club (Buddy Rose, Mike Awesome, Scotty The Body & Johnny Ace) A follow up match from the night before, this was as chaotic as one could imagine, with the ref struggling to maintain order. No surprise that it wound up breaking down with all 8 men in the ring. While Pillman was duking it out with Rose, Awesome ambushed him from behind with a clothesline and then hit an Awesome Bomb. Rose then added the final insult with the Inside Out Backbreaker before pinning Flyin' Brian. Golden State Tag Team Title Match : The Rainbow Warriors (Vic Steamboat & Brian Adams) © vs. The Juice Crew (Beetlejuice & Big Juice) The Golden State Tag Champs once again defended their newly won titles, this time against the bizarre Wild Things duo. The Juice Crew put in an intense challenge, but the Warriors prevailed when, in an impressive feat of strength, hit the Demon Suplex (Tiger Suplex) on Big Juice. Ricky Steamboat, Bret Hart & Scott Hall vs. Barry Windham, The Undertaker & Curt Hennig Once again, the mysterious triangle symbol appeared in the ring before the match, greatly agitating Windham while confusing his partners. The match was a fitting main event for a great evening, with Steamboat ducking a lariat from Windham and executing a single arm rollup for the win.
