Pacific Coast Wrestling show from the Selland Arena, Fresno, June 22nd Bobby Eaton vs. Jason Jett Eaton was able to overcome an enthusiastic Jett when Jett ran into a Singing Neckbreaker, then Beautiful Bobby came off the top with the Alabama Jam for the win. Steven Regal vs. Makhan Singh These two brawled their way to a double DQ, with the ref struggling in vain to get some sort of control in the match. Stan Lane vs. Chris Hamrick The Money Train came steaming back with Hamrick catching Lane with the Franken-Hamrick for the win. Cannonball Grizz vs. Fit Finlay Finlay hit hard but couldn't overcome the size and power of Grizz, who crushed him with a running splash. Pacific Light Heavyweight Title Match : Art Barr © vs. Too Cold Scorpio The current and former champs had a classic Light Heavyweight duel that went to 20 minute time limit draw. California Title Match : Dennis Condrey © vs. David Cash "Cash Flow" David Cash gave it his best shot, but the canny Condrey hit an inverted DDT to maintain his grip on the title.

Pacific Coast Wrestling show from the Cow Palace , San Francisco, on Pacific Super Cards on ESPN / TSN, June 21st Dan Severn & Steve Blackman vs. The Suicide Blondes The Blondes continue to seem rattled by the actions of the Peach Patrol, and the Citadel duo capitalized, dominating their opponents with Blackman taking down Candido with the running bicycle kick. The Eagle vs. Toshiaki Kawada The newly aggressive Kawada tore into the masked man, forcing him to tap out to the Kawada Crab. Bret Hart, Roddy Piper & Pierre Carl Ouellet vs. Buddy Rose, Scotty The Body & Brian Lee For a match with much of the focus on the brawling between Piper and Lee, it wound up coming down to PCO. The Fighting French Canadian survived being targeted by the Playboy Club and pinned Scotty following the Cannonball. Iron & Steel (Tony Atlas & Larry Cameron) vs. Coast 2 Coast (John Tatum & Jack Victory) Another strong showing by Iron & Steel, with Atlas forcing Tatum to give up to a crushing Bearhug. Rick Martel vs. David Young It looks like Dibiase sent out the youngest member of the Terror Collective as a roadblock for Martel. Young hit hard and did some damage, but Martel was able to come back and pinned him with a top rope Sunset Flip. Barry Windham & The Thrillseekers vs. Ted Dibiase & The Miracle Violence Combination It looks like Dibiase has more to worry about than just Martel, as Barry Windham came after him very aggressively in this six man match. The former 2 time champ came close to pinning the Man Of Means on several occasions, but the MVC pulled their boss' fat out of the fire with Gordy taking down Jericho with a Power Bomb.

Pacific Wrestling Showcase from the Oakland Alameda County Arena, Oakland, on ESPN / TSN, June 20th The Thunder Dragons (Jushin Liger & Dragon Azul) vs. Spencer Duhm & Joe Dowdle In her brief (and mostly covert) time in PCW, Peaches has rapidly assembled quite a powerful group of wrestlers to her Peach Patrol. The newly dubbed Thunder Dragons wasted no time at all in rolling over the rookie duo, with double pins by way of tandem ranas while dazzling the fans with their thrilling moves. This duo could challenge for either of the tag titles or the light heavyweight strap at a moment's notice. Shane Douglas & Stormfront (Al Snow & Jerry Lynn) vs. Sabu, Rob Zakowski & The Lightning Kid The Hexagon made a bold statement of intent last week and have immediately moved into action. Their targets are clearly the Citadel, but Shane Douglas and his colleagues are far from pushovers, and gave the Sinister Minister's men a ferocious battle. Al Snow and Sabu were particularly focused on each other , but Lynn and Lightning Kid seemed to be sparking furiously off each other as well. Lynn had Kid set to be put out with a Sleeper Hold, but that was broken up by a vicious legsweep from Zakowski. Kid then capitalized with the Lightning Strike (Tombstone Piledriver) to get the win, but it was certainly a close one. The Sandman vs. Louie Spicolli The Peach Patrol continued to show their strength as Peaches joined her man The Sandman as he took on one half of the Suicide Blondes . While Peaches and Tina Ferrari gave each other the evil eye, Spicolli seemed intimidated by the Surfing Superstar, who easily dominated the Blonde and defeated him with a jarring piledriver. It didn't take long for the Sons Of The Beach to get into the heads of their opponents. The Dreamboats (Tommy Dreamer & Glamour Boy Shane) vs. Harlem Heat Ever since the former Diamond Exchanged rebranded themselves the League Of Gentlemen, they have seemed much more sure of themselves. The young team of Harlem Heat have definitely found a new confidence, which they showed in this match with the former Golden State Tag Team champs. Dreamer and Shane put in a courageous effort, but the power of Booker T and Stevie Ray was too much to overcome, with Stevie taking out Shane with the Slapjack. Harlem Heat are clearly a team to keep an eye on. Bam Bam Bigelow vs. Mike Awesome Last week's match between these two behemoths ended in a double countout, leaving the fans wanting a more. As predicted, a rematch was immediately signed , and the two went at it with renewed intensity. They both heated up the match with bigger and bigger moves, until Awesome clotheslined Bigelow over the top rope and out of the ring. The fans were agog as Awesome, running at top speed, hit a spectacular dive through the ropes, crashing hard into the Beast From The East. It looked like it might be another double countout, but Awesome got back to his feet and just barely made it back into the ring, getting the win by countout. A victory, but it didn't seem to be satisfying to Awesome, and these two are sure to square off again.

Pacific Coast Wrestling show from McArthur Court, Eugene, June 15th 2/3 Falls Match : Stormfront (Al Snow & Jerry Lynn) vs. Rob Zakowski & The Lightning Kid 1st Fall : Lightning Kid took down Lynn with the Lightning Strike (Tombstone) 2nd Fall : Lynn got the submission on Kid with a Sleeper Hold 3rd Fall : Both teams went to a 20 minute Time Limit Draw Final Result : Draw Shinya Hashimoto vs. Billy Black Hashimoto, with Peaches watching his back, pinned Black following a Brainbuster Golden State Tag Team Title Match : The Oregon Wrecking Crew (Gary Albright & David Young) © vs. The Thrillseekers The rookie challengers gave it their best go, but a takeover suplex by Albright on Storm put an end to their challenge. Dan Severn vs. Fit Finlay A rugged battle between two rugged men, neither were able to get the tap out but Severn was able to come out on top with the bridging back suplex. Shane Douglas vs. Jimmy Del Ray Douglas was able to lure Del Ray into his Belly To Belly Suplex, continuing his run of hot matches Pacific Trios Title Match : The Midnight Express © vs. The Money Train (Jason Jett, Chris Hamrick & David Cash) The Money Train gave it their all to win back the titles they once held, but the experience of the Midnights was too much to get past, with Condrey defeating Jett with an inverted DDT.

Pacific Coast Wrestling show from the Portland Memorial Coliseum , Portland , on Pacific Super Cards on ESPN / TSN, June 14th The Sons Of The Beach (The Sandman & Cannonball Grizz) vs. The Suicide Blondes As promised the day before, the SoBs were full of confidence and determination going into this match, and despite Tina Ferrari trying to tip the balance into her men's favor, Peaches shut that down, clearing the way for a Peach Patrol victory by way of a Beach Break (stuff power bomb) on Spicolli. Pierre Carl Ouellet vs. Makhan Singh PCO was still carrying the damage from his head first collision the day before, and was in no shape to take on Singh, who crushed him with the Karachi Crunch (Avalanche). Iron & Steel (Tony Atlas & Larry Cameron) vs. Coast 2 Coast (John Tatum & Jack Victory) Iron & Steel continued their rise, defeating the former champs when Cameron hit the Harlem Hammer (running double axe handle to the back of the head) on Victory Pacific Tag Team Title Match : The Miracle Violence Combination © vs. The Dreamboats (Tommy Dreamer & Glamour Boy Shane) Coming off their big win over Coast 2 Coast at Seattle Showdown, the Dreamboats went all out against the MVC, and seemed to catch the champs a bit off guard. Ultimately, the power and intensity of Williams and Gordy proved to be too much to overcome, but Trisa Hayes' men certainly gave a creditable effort. Barry Windham vs. Buddy Rose Despite having taken some losses lately, the Playboy was still determined to show he was a force to be reckoned with. Facing another former two time Pacific Heavyweight Champ, Rose used his considerable savvy to keep in the game with his younger opponent, luring Windham into some dirty tricks and still showing considerable vigor. Windham was able to flatten him with the Western Lariat, but Rose showed his is not to be looked past. Pacific Heavyweight Title Match : Ted Dibiase © vs. Steven Regal Dibiase has been through considerable challenges, but has still kept the Title Belt around his waist. Tonight, he would take on a young favorite of the crowd who had already held several titles and was now going for the big one. Regal certainly looked set to make the most of his chance, going toe to toe, and it seemed like tonight might be the night for a big upset. We will never know, as Makhan Singh charged out to attack Regal. Dibiase bailed while the ref called for the DQ, all while Regal and Singh duked it out in the ring. This continued until PCW security came out to separate the two. It looks like , before Regal can move on, he is still going to have to deal with the Monster.

Pacific Wrestling Showcase from the Portland Sports Arena, Portland , on ESPN / TSN, June 13th Sabu vs. Jerry Sims The wrestlers in PCW have learned to have a sense of trepidation when seeing their name opposite Sabu on the matchlist, especially after his match with Bam Bam Bigelow at Seattle Showdown. While he lost that match, the Bombay Madman showed savagery and absolute fearlessness against the Beast From The East, and that carried over into this match. Poor Sims was on the wrong side of Sabu's daredevil moves, ultimately losing to a slingshot legdrop. No doubt about it, Sabu is an opponent to be approached with extreme caution. Interview : Don Coss stands in the Crow's Nest Coss : Ladies and gentlemen, my next guest may have only been on the West Coast for a short time as a team, but they have been the center of a lot of drama … The Sons Of The Beach! The fans cheer as Cannonball Grizz and the Sandman head out to the Crow's Nest. They are led by the mystery woman. No longer masked and robed, she reveals herself to be a blonde, blue eyed, long legged woman in a slinky black dress. She smiles as she strides out with her Kendo stick casually slung over her shoulder. She is followed by Shinya Hashimoto , Jushin Liger and Dragon Azul. Coss : Well, folks, quite the retinue. Seems like there have been a lot of changes in the Sons Of The Beach. Grizz : Ha ha, you bet, Donnie! The Playboy Club thought they had gotten the better of us, but we knew what we were doing. Who is laughing now, Rose? Sandman : What my enthusiastic pal means is that we had a plan, and nearly everything went according to that plan. You see, before we came to PCW, my boy Grizz filled me in on just what a crumb Rose was. But he also told us how dangerous and cunning he was. Yeah, I'll give the Doughboy his due. We certainly didn't, heh heh, take him lightly. We knew Grizz coming back would draw his attention, and sooner or later, we would have to deal with the Playboy Club. It was just the two of us against the six of them, and good as we are, we can't overcome those numbers. So I went to the one person I trusted more than anyone else, even more than my buddy Grizz … my girl Peaches! *the blonde woman smiles broadly* I sent Peaches in undercover and she started recruiting the team. She got this team organized by negotiating with Hash and the Thunder Dragons , and got everyone in place. Coss : Wait, you speak Japanese? Peaches : What, you don't? Coss : * muttering * Of course you speak Japanese, everybody speaks Japanese but ole Don … Sandman : We were nearly set. But then Seattle Showdown came up sooner than we were ready. We did what we could, but it's tough to fight a match when you constantly have to look over your shoulder. Tina Ferrari cost us the match, and the Suicide Blondes got the win. But we knew it was only a matter of time, and a week later, the jaws of the trap snapped shut. Peaches here put one over on them and got us a rematch , which we of course won. Not only that, we showed the full strength of the Peach Patrol, and the Playboy Club are going to think twice before they mess with us. Peaches : That's right, honey! Tina Ferrari, you had best stay out of my way, unless you want to get a taste of the stick! The Sons Of The Beach, the Thunder Dragons, and Shinya Hashimoto … I put together the toughest group of wrestlers in PCW, and the Playboy Club and the Hexagon had best keep that in mind. I've got the best tag team around, two of the greatest Light Heavyweights in the world, and someone who can take anyone out in the blink of an eye. It's not just a Beach Party, it's a Peach Party with the Peach Patrol! The fans cheer more as Peaches and the Sandman kiss in the ring. Bam Bam Bigelow vs. Mike Awesome Both men are coming off big matches at Seattle Showdown, and both are looking to move up in the rankings from there. Bigelow wants to keep his considerable momentum going, while Awesome seeks to bounce back after Steve Austin ended his unbeaten streak. The two went at it, fist and fire, with neither man wanting to give an inch to the other. The action spilled outside the ring and the two wound up both being counted out. It won't be long before a rematch is signed. Interview : Don Coss stands in the Crow's Nest Coss : Ladies and gentlemen, my next guests are coming off a rough outing at Seattle Showdown … the Hexagon! The fans boo as the Hexagon emerge. Sabu, Art Barr, Eddie Guerrero, Dean Malenko, Rob Zakowski and the Lightning Kid are stone faced, but the Sinister Minister is clearly just barely holding back white hot rage. Coss : Ummm, Minister, your men lost all of their matches at Seattle Showdown. That must … Minister : SILENCE, INFIDEL! The Pacific Coast have showed themselves unready and unworthy of the greatness of the Hexagon. That trollop who spoke earlier dared to insult us. Well, it looks like we are going have to start making examples of people. We showed earlier just what Sabu is capable of. *Sabu points to the sky* All six sides of the Hexagon are equally deadly, and anyone who doubts that will do so at their peril! Bret Hart & Pierre Carl Ouellet vs. Scotty The Body & Brian Lee If the Playboy Club were intimidated by the earlier declaration from Peaches, they weren't showing it. If anything, they were more aggressive than usual, ambushing Hart and Ouellet outside the ring. Ouellet was sent crashing head first into the ring steps, but the Hitman fought back hard against the odds. Then, rushing out of the crowd … Roddy Piper! The Hot Scot had not been seen in several weeks after being attacked by Lee, but now he was back with (literally) a vengeance. Piper started whipping Lee with his thick leather belt, and Scotty tried to intervene but Hart held him off. Things took an even wilder turn when Piper started to throttle Lee with the belt. Hart tried to get him to stop but it took considerable effort to get Piper away from the Bulldozer. While Hart dragged Piper off, Scotty helped Lee back to the locker room. Too Cold Scorpio vs. Jimmy Del Ray The fans were certainly glad to see the return of Too Cold Scorpio last week. The former Light Heavyweight champ has clearly developed in his time away from PCW, and showed off several more thrilling moves against the Gigolo, including a moonsault legdrop that was dubbed the Tumbleweed and got the pinfall. Scorpio is clearly back and on track. Pacific Television Title Match : Big Bully Busick © vs. Big Vito Lograsso So far in his title reign, Big Billy Busick has taken on all challengers, earning a reputation as a fighting champion. Tonight, he would be taking on the man who took his place as Jim Cornette's enforcer, Big Vito Lograsso. The Italian Stallion has been gaining his own reputation as one tough customer, so this wasn't a refined, technical match. This was an out and out clubberin', with all four fistises flyin'. The two bruisers threw down and threw all sense of decorum out the window. Big Vito went for broke by going for the Sicilian Smash (running forearm smash to the face), but Busick ducked it and then caught him coming off the ropes with the Spinebuster Slam for the win. A tough challenge, but the Man From Powerhouse Hill survived.

Pacific Coast Wrestling show from the Kelowna Memorial Arena, Kelowna, June 8th Iron & Steel (Tony Atlas & Larry Cameron) vs. Coast 2 Coast (John Tatum & Jack Victory) Iron & Steel overpowered the former champs when Atlas took Tatum down with a Piledriver. Shane Douglas vs. Eddie Guerrero Douglas was able to hit the Belly To Belly suplex to beat Guerrero The Eagle vs. Gary Albright The Eagle did his best but Albright pinned him with a Dragon Suplex. Mike Awesome vs. Lance Storm Awesome was another wrestler looking to regain his dominance after Seattle Showdown, and crushed poor Storm with the Awesome Bomb. The Patriot vs. David Young The masked hero fought hard and was able to defeat the Golden State Tag Champ with the Patriot Missile. California Title Match : Dennis Condrey © vs. Chris Jericho The Thrillseeker gave it an enthusiastic effort, but Loverboy Dennis continued his impressive title reign with an inverted DDT.

Pacific Coast Wrestling show from the Pacific Coliseum, Vancouver on Pacific Super Cards on ESPN / TSN , June 7th Al Snow vs. Sabu A bit of a rivalry has sparked between the Snowman and the Bombay Madman, leading to a fast paced and frantic match that went to a double countout. Bam Bam Bigelow vs. Genichiro Tenryu One of the biggest wins of Bam Bam's career was over the Japanese legend, and despite a ferocious effort from Tenryu, the Beast From The East was able to repeat with a top rope flying headbutt. Jerry Lynn vs. Brian Lee Lee was looking to reassert himself after his loss to Barry Windham at Seattle Showdown, and crushed Lynn with the Prime Time Slam. Dan Severn vs. Steve Williams The Beast and Dr. Death had a bruising battle that shook the ring with big slams and suplexes. Williams was ready to put Severn away with the Oklahoma Stampede, but Severn shut that down with a slidedown from his back. He then trapped Williams in an Oklahoma Roll to get the one two three in a major upset. Pacific Television Title Match : Big Bully Busick © vs. Scotty The Body The normally cool Scotty was livid after losing the TV title at Seattle Showdown. Combine that with Tina Ferrari's anger at getting shown up by the SOBs the night before. The two unleashed a series of underhanded tactics at the Big Bully in an attempt to regain the title. The Man From Powerhouse Hill kept a steady course and hit the Bully Breaker (hangman neckbreaker) to remain TV champ. Pacific Heavyweight Title Match : Ted Dibiase © vs. Rick Martel Coming after a near escape with his title at Seattle Showdown, Dibiase would tonight be facing a Canadian legend in front of his countrymen. The Vancouver fans were solidly behind Martel as he challenged for the biggest prize. Martel clearly knew he would be in for a long battle, pacing himself early in the match and holding back on his flashier moves to focus on wearing down Dibiase. Dibiase had a wealth of experience himself, and did all he could to shut down Martel's challenge. It looked like the title would go to Martel when he trapped the champ in the middle of the ring in the Quebec Crab, but Dibiase was able to fight his way to the ropes. The two continued their struggle, until Martel sent Dibiase to the mat with a dropkick, the followed up with a Slingshot Splash. One … two … the bell rang. Martel and the fans were ecstatic, thinking he had won the title, but the ref said that the match went to a 60 minute time limit draw. Martel and the fans were disappointed, but it had been an epic match.

Pacific Wrestling Showcase from the Victoria Memorial Arena, Victoria, on ESPN / TSN, June 6th Too Cold Scorpio vs. Dan Kay After the huge success of Seattle Showdown, PCW comes back with the return of a past favorite. Scorpio, a previous Light Heavyweight and Golden State Tag champ, was a much loved wrestler who is now back from great success in other promotions. The fans were ecstatic as he high fived them on the way to the ring, but were in for a surprise. While he was certainly an exciting in ring performer in his first run, his years away from the West Coast have taken his offense to the next level. The fans were agog at his spectacular high flying moves, finishing off Kay with a breathtaking 450 Splash. With the return of Scorpio and arrival of Jushin Liger, the Light Heavyweight division looks ready to go to the next level. Interview : Don Coss stands in the ring Coss : Ladies and gentlemen, at Seattle Showdown, my next guest went the distance with Big Vito Lograsso … "Gentleman" Chris Adams! Adams has his usual sour look on his face as he headed out to the ring. He was joined by Mike Awesome and Harlem Heat. Conspicuous by his absence is Diamond Dallas Page, but Adams has the other wrestlers gathered behind him as he speaks with Coss. Coss : Well, Chris Adams, I couldn't help noticing that someone is missing … Adams : No! Do not say that name! Our former supposed leader couldn't handle a tiny little piledriver on the concrete, so he is trying his luck elsewhere. What you are looking at right here is the League Of Gentlemen! (The other wrestlers nod in agreement, with Harlem Heat high fiving each other.) It's a new day and a fresh start, and we will accomplish what the other bloke couldn't do. We are ready for war, and we now have the unbeatable weapon in our arsenal … Dangerous K! The fans are stunned as Toshiaki Kawada, with a face as sour as Adams', stalks out to the ring. Coss : Toshiaki Kawada? What on earth …? Adams : I will speak for my friend here. Kawada has for a long time been fed up with Hashimoto and Sasaki holding him back, keeping with some idiotic code of supposed honor. I met with him in secret and we agreed that our philosophies are much the same. Coss : Wait, you speak Japanese? Adams : What, you don't? I have made many tours of Japan and am well versed in the Japanese language, among others. It didn't take long for us to reach an understand. We know he can be an incredible asset to the League, and the League can help him reach his true potential. What you are looking at are the five greatest wrestlers in the world today, and PCW is about to be taken over by the League Of Gentlemen! Pierre Carl Ouellet vs. Fit Finlay The next match would be a duel of two rough , tough scrappers and neither of them were going easy on the others. They hit hard and often in a bruising battle, with the youth and fire of Ouellet matched by the grit and experience of Finlay. It was a close match, but it wound up going to PCO by way of a package piledriver. The crowd cheered the Canadian favorite, but he seems to be looking for new and bigger challenges. David Cash & Jason Jett vs. Harlem Heat True to his word, Chris Adams was out to back up his tag team and light a fire under them. While the Money Train duo of Cash and Jett certainly had plenty of fire to them, the power and rage of Harlem Heat were too much to overcome, and Cash wound up pinned after the Harlem Hangover. An impressive start to the new League of Gentlemen. Chris Hamrick vs. Makhan Singh While Singh was on the losing side of the big six man cage match at Seattle Showdown, the Monster still has yet to be pinned since his return to the West Coast. Despite an heroic effort from Hamrick, he was not the man to stop Singh at this time, being squashed by the Monster Mash (front slam). Makhan Singh continues to be unstoppable in PCW action. Interview : Don Coss stands in the ring Coss : Ladies and gentlemen, my next guest came out of the Seattle Showdown Night One main event victorious … Stunning Steve Austin! The crowd cheers loudly as Austin comes out, but the blonde Texan seems to be dealing with mixed emotions. Coss : Steve, that was truly an incredible victory you had, defeating the previously undefeated Mike Awesome in the cage! Austin : Thanks a bunch, Don. It took a lot, but I knew I could beat him, no matter how big he was. It was a hell of a match … and I can't think of a better note to go out on. *cue gasps from the crowd* Coss : Stunning Steve, what are you saying? Austin : Just what it sounds like, Don. When I got to PCW , I was just starting out in the business. I knew that I would only be here for a short time … but , despite my ups and downs, I came to enjoy the West Coast and its fans. We had us a good ole time … however, I knew, sooner or later, it would be time for this ole Texas boy to move on. When I finally beat the one guy I couldn't beat before, I realized it was time. Time for me to face some new challenges in a new place. Before I go, though, I want to tell you that I've had the time of my life and I will never forget you crazy knuckleheads! The crowd gives him a standing ovation as Pierre Carl Ouellet comes out and gives his friend a manly farewell hug. He raises Austin's arm in triumph as Stunning Steve goes on to fulfill his destiny. The Thunder Dragons (Jushin Liger & Dragon Azul) vs. The Suicide Blondes The new duo of the Thunder Dragons made a sensational debut at Seattle Showdown, and a lot of the fans were eager to see what they would do next. They would be facing the Suicide Blondes, themselves victorious at Seattle Showdown, and the Thunder Dragons were accompanied by the mysterious robed and cowled woman. Things took an unusual turn before the match even started, as Cannonball Grizz and the Sandman came out and interacted with the robed women. They mostly mimed their conversation, but the robed woman seemed to understand the gist of what they were trying to say. She raised her Kendo stick and gestured to the back, and Liger and Dragon dutifully returned to the locker room. Strangely, the robed woman stayed at ringside, to the clear displeasure of Tina Ferrari. The Blondes seemed confident, having defeated the Sons Of The Beach at Seattle Showdown, but the reason they won, Tina, was effectively neutralized by the presence of the robed woman. While the Blondes and the SOBs fought it out in the ring, the robed woman was always one step ahead of her. Tina eventually got fed up and attacked the robed woman , but got a shock when she pulled off the cowl, showing that the mystery woman had blue eyes and shoulder length blonde hair. The ref came over to break up the kerfuffle, and while Tina argued with the ref, the mystery woman underhanded her Kendo stick into the ring. The Sandman grabbed it and whalloped it across the back of Louie Spiccoli, who was then hit by a running cross body press from Grizz. The ref turned around and made the three count, giving the revenge victory to the Sons Of The Beach. Tina tried to go after the blonde woman again, but the mystery woman was now surrounded, not just by the SOBs but also the Thunder Dragons and Shinya Hashimoto. Tina and the Blondes beat a hasty retreat while the Sandman kissed the blonde woman and the fans wondered just what on earth was going on.

Playboy has been an interesting project with me. One of my favorite wrestlers, he has always been central to Portland wrestling and the straw that stirs the drink in the territory, my Jerry Lawler as it were. But the inevitable fact was that his physical deterioration IRL over the years would make it hard to justify him as the top man in a territory with the likes of Bret Hart, Barry Windham, Ted Dibiase , etc. (In the real timeline, this would be when he would be doing the Blow Away Diet skits, pretty much washed up in his late 30s). I did my best to keep his value up so that it could be a major win for Bret to defeat him, and not damage Rose's name because I had worked hard over the years to make Bret a top singles contender. Meanwhile, although Rose would no longer be the main guy in Portland, he still had a place in my plans as the spider in the middle of the web of the Playboy Club, still causing trouble and driving action.

Small clarification, but the Thrillseekers are part of the Brigade, not the Citadel

War in the tag division, Savage vs. Hennig, loving the hot action in Memphis.

Missing from my roster : John Tatum

Whoops, posted in the wrong thread ... Following the posting of Seattle Showdown, PCW sends DDP to WCW for JTL, errrr, Jushin Thunder Liger. PCW also drops Billy Gunn and picks up Peaches. From that, Billy Gunn now goes to WCW.

Pacific Championship Wrestling Seattle Showdown from the Kingdome, Seattle, Night Two The Thrillseekers vs. Rob Zakowski & The Lightning Kid Night Two kicks off with a fast paced match between two promising young duos. Ever since their respective debuts at the start of the year, the Thrillseekers and the Hexagon have gotten a lot of good attention with their fresh and exciting style. It seemed like the tag team coordination of the Thrillseekers would carry the day. But Storm got caught flatfooted by a back heel kick from the Lightning Kid. This left him prey to a Split Legged Moonsault from Zakowski , giving the win to the Hexagon. Regardless, neither team has anything to be ashamed of with this performance, and they both continue to show considerable promise. Big Vito Lograsso vs. Chris Adams Jim Cornette's young enforcer has been gaining a reputation as a scrapper to be reckoned with. He tangled with the always dangerous Chris Adams (not surprisingly without Diamond Dallas Page in his corner) in a hard hitting bout. Vito was able to avoid the Superkick, but was not able to get Adams down enough for the Sicilian Smash (running forearm smash to the face), and the match went to a 15 minute time limit draw. A sulky Adams gave Vito a begrudging palm slap after the match, but Cornette was hyping Vito like he was king of the world. The Italian Stallion was certainly impressive in going to the limit with a contender like Adams. Iron & Steel (Tony Atlas & Larry Cameron) vs. Jimmy Del Ray & Billy Black Vito's Hollywood Heartbreaker comrades didn't fare quite as well, but you couldn't really hold it against them in this instance. The powerhouse duo of Atlas and Cameron have been nigh unstoppable since their return to the West Coast, and while Del Ray and Black did manage to sneak in some dirty tricks, Iron & Steel continued their roll with a spike piledriver on Del Ray. It's only a matter of time before Iron & Steel get the big prize in their sights. Texas Bullrope Match : Barry Windham vs. Brian Lee With Brian Lee betraying the Brigade and becoming the chief assassin for the Playboy Club, he and his former friend Barry Windham have been going at it, fist and fire. Their feud would climax with this match, a pinfalls based Texas Bullrope match. The bullrope accentuated the hatred in this match, with both men throttling the other with the rope and busting each other open with the cowbell in the middle. Lee showed the most furious, but just couldn't quite land the Prime Time Slam. Windham finally outlasted Lee, wrapping the rope around his arm and levelling the Bulldozer with a Western Lariat. It took a tremendous struggle, but Windham came out on top. Shinya Hashimoto vs. Genichiro Tenryu These two Japanese stars have found themselves facing each other from time to time since their arrival in PCW, but they would now get a chance to show what they can do on the big stage of a Mega Show. They put on a wrestling clinic, showing that hard hitting intensity could blend with technical mastery. Unfortunately, things took a turn due to an unexpected source. During the match, Toshiaki Kawada came down to the ring and got up on the ring apron. When Hashimoto came off the ropes, Kawada knocked him senseless with a high kick to the back of the head. Up until this point, Kawada and Hashimoto had been thought to be friends, so it was utterly shocking for Kawada to turn on him in such a fashion. Tenryu didn't see what happened and , out of sheer instinct, executed the Power Bomb on Hashimoto for the win, but seemed puzzled as to what just happened. The whole crowd were puzzled, to put it mildly , as to just what has gotten into Kawada. Bret Hart vs. Buddy Rose At the start of the year, Bret Hart declared that he would be Pacific Heavyweight champion by the end of 1990. To that end, he has been battling with a host of top contenders, and tonight would face no less than 2 time Pacific Champ Buddy Rose. Hart was fueled not just by his drive to get to the top of the West Coast, but also a thirst for vengeance for what the Playboy Club had done to his friend Roddy Piper just the week before. Perhaps Rose was rattled by what Big Bully Busick and Barry Windham had done earlier in the card to Scotty The Body and Brian Lee, respectively. He seemed to go into panic mode early, with a furious Hart blasting through any attempts at dirty tricks by the Playboy. The Hitman took rose down with a top rope bulldog, then trapped him in the Sharpshooter. Rose quickly tapped out, and while Hart seemed tempted to make him suffer more, he dropped the hold and walked away, giving Rose a disgusted look. Bret Hart had made a statement, and it is one that is certainly tough to ignore. Dragon Azul & ?? ?? vs. Art Barr & Eddie Guerrero There has been much drama of late between Dragon Azul and Art Barr, along with the other members of the Hexagon, and much of it has come from the mysterious robed and cowled woman who has been at the side of Dragon. Perhaps they were over eager to be rid of Dragon once and for all, but Guerrero and the current Pacific Light Heavyweight champ quickly signed the match to face the masked man and his mystery partner. The two of them had the credentials to back up their confidence, with past runs as Light Heavyweight champ, Submission champ and Golden State Tag Team champs between the two of them, and they seemed certain to be more than a match for whoever the robed woman threw at them. The robed woman and the masked man came out in silence. When they got to the ring, she simply raised her Kendo stick high, then slowly pointed it to the ring entrance. Out of the ring entrance stepped … Jushin "Thunder" Liger! The crowd exploded in gasps and cheers. The young Japanese sensation has made a considerable name for himself in the past year or so in other territories, and the fans were thrilled to get to see him in person. Barr and Guerrero were not going to back down, however, and the result was a fast paced and exciting match, with the new team cranking up the intensity with seemingly every move. Liger, in particular, gained instant love from the fans, with his charisma and innovative moves reminding some of the first Light Heavyweight champ, Keiichi Yamada. It was Liger who wound up getting them the win, catching Barr coming off the ropes with a running palm strike under the chin. With her newest charge getting a pinfall over the Light Heavyweight champion, this robed woman has wasted no time in assembling a group of top contenders. Pacific Tag Team Title Match : The Miracle Violence Combination © vs. The Force Of July (The Patriot & The Eagle Since winning the Pacific Heavyweight Title, the MVC have just rolled over their opposition, setting a claim to be the most dominant tag champs in the history of the title. The super heroic patriots of the Force Of July were made of stern stuff, however, and Williams and Gordy seemed a bit surprised at how much of a fight they were given. No matter how much they were knocked down, the masked due kept bouncing back up. The two teams wound up battling outside the ring, and they were so fiercely slugging it out that they wound up being counted out, resulting in a draw. A disappointing result, but you can bet that the FoJ will be getting another shot before long. Pacific Trios Title Match : The Money Train (David Cash, Chris Hamrick & Jason Jett) © vs. The Midnight Express (Stan Lane, Bobby Eaton & Dennis Condrey) The Money Train are very early in their career, but have gained a lot of affection from the fans with their boisterous personalities and flashy moves. Being the inaugural Trios champs, they have swiftly achieved considerable prestige. This time, however, they would be facing the veteran team of the Midnight Express, with the dastardly Jim Cornette in his corner. The Midnights taught the champs the irreplaceable power of experience. While the Train got in some of their trademark moves, the Midnights were always able to shut down their momentum and put the match back into their hands. At a particularly chaotic point, Cash was up on Eaton's shoulders, attempting a Victory Roll. Condrey got up on the top turnbuckle and jacked Cash in the back of the head with Cornette's tennis racquet, letting Eaton faceplant Cash hard on the mat. Eaton then zipped up to the top rope and hit the Alabama Jam, getting the three count and the titles to Camp Cornette. A sad result, but just goes to show that, talented though they are, the Money Train have a bit to learn before they are truly on the level of the Midnight Express. Pacific Heavyweight Title Match : Ted Dibiase © vs. Sgt. Slaughter The show closed out with the much anticipated Pacific Heavyweight Title match. This would be Dibiase's first true test of his title reign, defending against the All American Hero. A pretty stern test of the champs abilities, indeed. Dibiase had the technical expertise, but Slaughter was even more experienced. Dibiase was a capable brawler, but Slaughter could throw down with the best of them. Dibiase had considerable underhanded tactics, but Slaughter would not put up with that kind of nonsense for long. Dibiase even found himself trapped in the Cobra Clutch , a move similar to his own Million Dollar Dream, but was fortunate enough to be close to the ropes. It seemed like his time ran out when Slaughter charged at him for the Slaughter cannon, but the champ ducked at the last second, and Slaughter levelled the ref with the move. Dibiase seized the opportunity to pull out his dreaded loaded black glove. He tried to hit Slaughter with it, but Sarge caught his fist and landed several brutal rights to the face of Dibiase. He then wrapped him in the Cobra Clutch in the middle of the ring. As Dibiase waved his arms about, the ref had finally recovered and tapped Sarge on the shoulder. Slaughter dropped Dibiase to the mat and raised his arm in triumph. NO! The ref signaled to him that he had NOT won the title, and was instead disqualified for striking the referee. As Sarge argued with the ref, Dibiase grabbed his title belt and ran off into the night, laughing all the way. The Man Of Means had escaped again.

Pacific Championship Wrestling Seattle Showdown from the Kingdome, Seattle, Night One Sons Of The Beach (Cannonball Grizz & The Sandman) vs. The Suicide Blondes PCW kicks off their Pacific Northwest Megashow with a much anticipated tag team showdown. In their short time in PCW, the Sons Of The Beach have gathered quite a following but have also gained the ire of the Playboy Club. Buddy Rose clearly didn't like being rebuffed by the surfing duo and have sent his own tag team, the Suicide Blondes , to make them pay for their impertinence . The Blondes were up to their usual tricks and nonsense, but the Sons weren't going to slow down for anyone. As frequently happens with the Playboy Club, it fell to Tina Ferrari to upset the scales. She was able to trip the Sandman coming off the ropes. He was able to recover, but when he turned to face Ferrari, he was blindsided by a spinning back heel kick from Candido. This left him prey to a Samoan Drop by Spicolli, stealing the win for the Blondes. Grizz was hugely upset by the result, but it was Sandman, the one who had been pinned, who was able to calm him down. He could be heard saying the words, "Stick to the plan", and Grizz not only settled down, but started to grin. Who knows what this could mean? Shane Douglas vs. Dean Malenko When the Hexagon aligned at the beginning of the year, they made it their mission to take down the Citadel. They had considerable success early on, but with Shane, Big Bully Busick, and Jerry Lynn joining up with the Citadel, as well as the leadership of Dan Severn, the Citadel have turned the tables on the Sinister Minister's men. Malenko did everything he could to put down Douglas, using his vast arsenal of weardown holds and considerable technical expertise. Douglas just kept bouncing back, and caught Malenko in the Belly To Belly Suplex for a comeback win. No doubt about it, the Citadel are on the rise. Bam Bam Bigelow vs. Sabu The New Jersey Fireball has been on an absolute roll, but he isn't looking to build up his record with wins over light competition. He is seeking out the toughest competition and he certainly found that in the Bombay Madman. Sabu's savage intensity, unorthodox style and daredevil moves kept Bigelow off balance for much of the match, and it ran through the minds of the fans that an upset might just be in the works. Sabu's recklessness wound up costing him when Bigelow caught him in an attempted spinning back heel kick and turned it around into a Powerslam. Bam Bam wasn't about to take any chances, and went up top, hitting the Nuclear Splash. The one two three was academic, and he had done it again. It took a lot, but the Beast From The East remains triumphant. Pierre Carl Ouellet & Rick Martel vs. Harlem Heat PCO has been battling with the Diamond Exchange pretty much since his return to PCW, with DDP consistently piling on the numbers to try to put down the Fighting French Canadian. In this tag match, he had the legendary Rick Martel by his side, and they did well against the towering team of Harlem Heat. They did well against the big duo, and it looked like they would carry the day when Ouellet went to the top rope for Le Cannonball on Booker T. DDP took matters into his own hands when he went up on the ring apron and shoved Ouellet hard to the mat. Stevie Ray then hit the Slapjack and pinned Ouellet. PCO was clearly fuming when he left the ring, with Martel telling him that his day would come. Billy Gunn vs. Toshiaki Kawada Since the dissolution of Phoenix Rising, Toshiaki Kawada has shown a real change of attitude, going on an absolute rampage, brutalizing his opposition every chance he got. Gunn unfortunately found himself in the path of this rampage, with Kawada blasting him with painful looking moves before taking the Texan down with a brainbuster. That was not enough for the Japanese star, who pulled up Gunn from the mat and gave him another brainbuster before pinning him. Gunn ended up having to be helped from the ring. Kawada is on a path to become the most dangerous wrestler on the Pacific Coast. Pacific Submission Title Match : Steve Blackman © vs. Fit Finlay Young Steve Blackman has kept a slow but sure progress up the ranks of PCW, to the point he is now the currently reigning Pacific Submission champ. With his mentor Dan Severn cheering him on from ringside, the Living Weapon did battle with the former champ, the always intimidating Fit Finlay. Despite a lot of big bombs and wrenching moves from Finlay, Blackman kept at it, taking the Belfast Bruiser down with a lightning quick legsweep before forcing him to tap out to an Indian Leglock. Blackman is proving that the nickname The Living Weapon was no exaggeration. Golden State Tag Team Title Match : The Oregon Wrecking Crew (Gary Albright & David Young) © vs. Stormfront (Al Snow & Jerry Lynn) The OWC showed considerable promise in their first year in PCW, but they have truly broken out as part of the Terror Collective. Facing a very determined duo of former Pacific Tag champs Stormfront, Albright and Young weathered out that storm and came out on top, with a ferocious Dragon Suplex by Albright on Snow putting an end to the challenge. Clearly, "The Man Of Means" Ted Dibiase invested well when he brought the Oregon Wrecking Crew into the Terror Collective. Pacific Television Title Match : Scotty The Body © vs. ?? ?? After Roddy Piper was brutally ambushed by Brian Lee and the Playboy Club last week, it was clear afterwards that he would not be able to make the challenge for the TV title. What was not clear was how the actual TV Title Match would go forward. While it was going to happen, nobody knew who the challenger would be. Scotty was clearly unconcerned, laughing with Tina Ferrari as they headed to the ring. There was a dramatic pause as the spotlight went on the ring entrance, then out of it came ….. Big Bully Busick! Busick had an all business look as he tipped his trademark derby downwards as he headed out with Shane Douglas following behind. In the ring, Scotty was panicking, but Tina tried to calm him down, saying that they could put him down like they had everyone else. No chance, as Douglas kept very close taps on Tina to make sure she kept out of the match. Scotty tried to go for his usual dirty tricks, but once again, no dice, as they just bounced off the Bully like he was Superman. Scotty foolishly ran right into Busick, who caught him in a textbook Spinebuster Slam that shook the ring. One … two … THREE!!!! The fans exploded in cheers as Busick was now TV champion. What a turn around. From one of the most hated men on the West Coast on his return, now the beloved champ, the Man From Powerhouse Hill was now the King Of The Hill as his good friend Shane Douglas proudly put the title belt around his waist. 2/3 Falls Cage Match : The Dreamboats (Tommy Dreamer & Glamour Boy Shane) & Steven Regal vs. Coast 2 Coast (John Tatum & Jack Victory) & Makhan Singh One of the biggest stories of the first half of 1990 has been the war between the Dreamboats and Coast 2 Coast, a war which is about to come to an end, one way or another. Before the match, Commissioner Dutch Savage declared that this would be the last time that Dreamer & Shane and Tatum & Victory would face each other , so they had best get it all out of their systems. And get it out of their systems, they did , battering each other bloody with Regal and Singh eagerly getting involved in the fray. It was Singh who got the first fall, squashing Shane against the cage with the Karachi Krunch (Avalanche). Trisa Hayes' men were behind the 8 ball, but they fought back with determination, and Regal took out Victory with a Knee Trembler to even things up. Both teams went all out to show who was boss, and Dreamer and Shane were able to prevail with a Double DDT on Tatum. The fans cheered as the Dreamboat had finally gotten their vengeance. Cage Match : Steve Austin vs. Mike Awesome The first night of Seattle Showdown came to a climax with the most anticipated match, another Final Battle. Mike Awesome had not been pinned since his arrival in PCW a year and a half before. With Diamond Dallas Page's quest for vengeance against Stunning Steve, Awesome and Austin have been tearing into each other for much of this year, with neither of them coming out on top. They would put it all on the line in the cage, with DDP in Awesome's corner and a glowering Pierre Carl Ouellet in Austin's. The two had a ferocious and blood battle in the cage, Austin fighting his way out of all attempts at the Awesome Bomb and Awesome dodging the Stun Gun. Page kept trying to climb the cage to try to interfere, but when he tried to slide his diamond headed cane into the cage, Ouellet had finally had all he could take. He slammed Page off the wall of the cage to the floor, then peeled away the floor mats. PCO then gave the Package Piledriver to Page on the concrete, and that was it for DDP for the rest of the match. Emboldened by his friend's actions, Austin whipped Awesome off the ropes and hit a Stun Gun that rammed his head into the cage. One … two … THREE!!!!!! Ouellet came into the cage and held his friend's hand up in triumphant. Austin had done it, he had beaten the unbeatable and the crowd were ecstatic. Now, on to Night Two!

Pacific Coast Wrestling Show from the UCSB Event Center, Santa Barbara, May 25th Tommy Dreamer vs. Makhan Singh Makhan Singh continues to be the bane of the Dreamboats, crushing Dreamer with the Monster Mash (Front Slam) Rick Martel vs. The Lightning Kid Martel continued his West Coast comeback with a spirited battle with the Lightning Kid, pulling out the win with a diving cross body. Steven Regal vs. Jack Victory A ferocious throw down between two tough customers. It looked like it might go to Victory when he went for the Victory Plex, but Regal flipped over and trapped Victory in a Schoolboy Rollup for the one two three. Dan Severn & Steve Blackman vs. The Suicide Blondes Severn and Blackman continued their push to raise the fortunes of the Citadel, bringing the fight to the Suicide Blondes and getting the win by way of a takeover suplex from Severn on Candido. The Thrillseekers vs. The Midnight Express The Thrillseekers did well in the first half of the match, but Cornette gave his men the signal and they switched into a different gear. The Midnights took control and the Thrillseekers found themselves left behind, with Jericho losing to the Rocket Launcher. California Title Match : Dennis Condrey © vs. Shane Douglas Douglas gave the champ a lot of fight, going toe to toe and almost going the distance for a 30 minute time limit draw. It was just after the 29 minute, thirty second mark that Condrey hit the Full Nelson Facebuster, just barely pulling out the victory.

Pacific Coast Wrestling show from the LA Sports Arena, Los Angeles, on Pacific Super Cards on ESPN / TSN, May 24th Chris Hamrick vs. Mike Awesome Gearing up for his final battle with Steve Austin, Mike Awesome squashed Hamrick with the Awesome Bomb. Big Bully Busick vs. Billy Black The Man From Powerhouse Hill beat "The Redneck Casanova" Billy Black with his trademark Spinebuster Slam. Stormfront (Al Snow & Jerry Lynn) vs. Eddie Guerrero & Dean Malenko Al Snow impressed many last week with his efforts against Sabu, and continued that momentum in this tag match with other members of the Hexagon. All four men pulled out the stops, but it was Snow who pulled out the win with a Moonsault on Malenko. Pacific Light Heavyweight Title Match : Art Barr © vs. Dragon Azul Dragon was gunning so hard to regain the Light Heavyweight Title that he seemed to catch the always fierce Art Barr off guard. Dragon came close on a number of occasions to getting the pinfall, and he evidently put a scare in the Sinister Minister, who signaled to the back and got Eddie Guerrero and Dean Malenko to run into the ring. The mysterious robed woman tossed her Kendo stick in to Dragon, who sent the Hexagon making a hasty retreat. A DQ win for Dragon Azul, but not the title. We will soon see what he and the robed woman have planned with their mystery partner at Seattle Showdown. Barry Windham vs. Genichiro Tenryu These two had squared off some time ago in what is considered one of the greatest matches in PCW history. The rematch lived up to the anticipation, a hard hitting technical classic which could have gone either way. After an epic war, Windham levelled Tenryu with a top rope flying lariat for a truly legendary win. Pacific Heavyweight Title Match : Ted Dibiase © vs. The Patriot Dibiase's last defense before Seattle Showdown was against one half of the Force Of July. While Dibiase managed a clear cut win over the masked man's partner last week, but the Patriot wound up being a lot more to handle. The champ wound up taking the low road, waiting for a ref distraction to pull out his loaded glove and slugging the Patriot in the back of the head. A dirty win, but still a win. It is unlikely that Sgt. Slaughter will put up with any of this nonsense.

Pacific Wrestling Showcase from the Olympic Auditorium , Los Angeles , on ESPN / TSN, May 23rd The Sons Of The Beach (Cannonball Grizz & The Sandman) vs. Joel Anderson & Chet Welch Little by little, the Sons Of The Beach have been gathering their own following with each match. The surfing superstars easily handled their opposition, with Grizz squashing Welch with the Cannonball Crush (top rope splash). Their biggest test as a team will come at Seattle Showdown as they face off with the Suicide Blondes of the Playboy Club. Jason Jett vs. Big Vito Lograsso Big Vito is another who is gaining momentum, match by match. The enforcer of Camp Cornette has gotten some beatings but dished out plenty in return. He was taking no prisoners with Jason Jett, and though the Money Train member put in a valiant effort, he would up going down to the Sicilian Smash (running forearm smash to the face). Say what you will about the Italian Stallion, he is tougher than the proverbial coffin nail. Iron & Steel (Tony Atlas & Larry Cameron) vs. Danny Brown & Ace Gordon Ask anyone who is the most dominant team in PCW, and most people would either answer Pacific Tag Champs the Miracle Violence Combination or Iron & Steel. Atlas and Cameron certainly showed why by overwhelming their opponents, pinning Brown following a Spike Piledriver. The question remains : when are they getting their shot at the big belts? Glamour Boy Shane vs. Brian Lee Brian Lee is facing a showdown with his former ally Barry Windham in a Texas Bullrope match at Seattle Showdown. Looking to show his strength before that match, he held nothing back against Glamour Boy Shane. Shane was not able to make a dent in the big Bulldozer, and Lee got a fairly easy victory with the Prime Time Slam. By now, Windham has to know that this will be a climactic battle with no quarter given. Sgt. Slaughter vs. David Young On the verge of his biggest PCW match yet, challenging Ted Dibiase for the Pacific Heavyweight Title, Sarge must first get past another member of the Terror Collective, David Young. Young was certainly not about to roll over for the double tough DI, and gave Slaughter an hellacious battle. Sarge pulled through and ultimately prevail , forcing Young to tap out to the Cobra Clutch. Slaughter is looking very good going into Seattle Showdown. Roddy Piper vs. Buddy Rose Ever since his return to the West Coast, Rowdy Roddy has delighted in tormenting Playboy Buddy Rose and the rest of the Playboy Club. On the verge of his challenging Scotty The Body for the Pacific Television Title, Piper couldn't resist the offer of another chance to frustrate Buddy Rose in the ring. He really should have found a way to resist, as he didn't even make it to the ring. No sooner had the Hot Scot come through the ring entrance than he was ambushed with a lariat from behind by Brian Lee. Lee proceeded to brutalize Piper, including a terrifying drop onto a ringside barricade . While Buddy Rose sat in the ring and laughed, Scotty The Body and the Suicide Blondes held off any attempt to help Piper. Lee peeled off the ringside mats and drove Piper down with a Prime Time Slam on the concrete. Bret Hart and Rick Martel finally broke through the line to protect Piper , but the damage had been done. The Playboy Club ran off, laughing all the way, while Piper had to be helped onto a stretcher. The question is now whether Rowdy Roddy will even make it to challenge for the TV title.

So, do the draft at the start of November, same as last year?

Great start to your promotion. The Harris Twins raising hell is always worth watching. Loving Ole as the surly authority figure. Can't wait to see what is next.

I actually pushed for literally *NONE* of those wrestlers to come into the game, so you haven't even gotten that right. I simply used them when they did become available, usually after another booker had used them first, and did what I thought was best with them. You have not been a participating member in this project for some time, but that hasn't stopped you from coming back, again and again, making the same comments, again and again. Never helpful, always in the same tone. Again and again. You have said your piece. We have heard what you have said, and we have made up our own minds gone our own way regardless. So there is no need for you to repeat it anymore. So , once again, your comments are neither needed nor desired. There is the door, your place is on the other side of it. And seriously ...

I think I can safely say at this point that your input on this topic and anything else regarding this project is no longer either needed nor desired.

I may well not be the best one for claims of "realism", just my opinion (no more than that) is that he is perhaps a bit young for somebody to pick up from another country. Of course, he is American born, and I was unaware of the PWI mention, which would, as you say, put him on the radar.
