PCW sends Sherri Martel to WCW for the first pick in the second round of the 1989 rookie draft. PCW picks up Ivory to fill the 5th manager slot in their roster.

Pacific Coast Wrestling show from the Kelowna Memorial Arena, Kelowna, June 4th Leo Burke vs. Masa Fuchi Two of the top technical grapplers of PCW had a taught scientific wrestling showcase where Burke nearly had Fuchi cinched in the Sleeper Hold, but Fuchi kicked back from the corner turnbuckle and bridged back to get the pinfall The Force Of July (The Patriot & The Eagle) vs. Muscle Beach (Rod Price & Tommy Cairo) Two muscular teams had a power struggle where the FOJ came out on top with the Screaming Eagle (the Patriot whips Price into a top rope Missile Dropkick from the Eagle) Doug Furnas vs. Maxx Payne Once again, Payne came out alone but still was a fearsome presence against Furnas before going down to a flying shoulder tackle Tracy Smothers vs. Genichiro Tenryu Smothers did what he could but found himself overwhelmed by the Japanese veteran, getting pinned following an enzuigiri Owen Hart vs. Crash Holly Owen was able to partially avenge his team's loss at Seattle Showdown, scoring the victory with a Moonsault Pacific Light Heavyweight Title Match : The Cheetah Kid © vs. Eddie Guerrero Guerrero gave a fierce challenge for the Light Heavyweight title, coming close on several occasions to taking the belt. Cheetah Kid tried to put him away with a Power Bomb, but Guerrero countered out of it with a Sunset Flip. Kid in turn countered with a rollup to take the win.

Pacific Coast Wrestling show from the Pacific Coliseum, Vancouver on Pacific Super Cards on ESPN / TSN , June 3rd The Footloose vs. Bob & Crash Holly Two of the fast rising teams in PCW had a real barn burner of a match, with the Footloose coming out on top with Kawada hitting an elevated brainbuster on Crash Jerry Lynn vs. Chris Candido These two gifted light heavyweights kept up the wicked pace of the show with another intense match, with Candido hitting the New Jersey Jam for the win. Brian Lee & Curt Hennig vs. Death Sentence (Jimmie Lee & The Hangman) Death Sentence kept up their reputation for mayhem with a crazy brawl that wound up ending in a No Contest. Brian Christopher vs. Cyrus The Virus Although Christopher was without his mentor James E. Cornette this evening, his lessons stuck with him, and he was able to withstand the dirty tricks of the Virus long enough to execute the Chris Cross (Full Nelson Facebuster) to pull out the victory Bret Hart vs. Art Barr Hart continued to show that he is a force to be reckoned with as he had a ferocious battle with another second generation star, forcing one half of the Golden State Tag Team champs to tap out to the Sharpshooter Pacific Television Title Match : "Diamond" Timothy Flowers © vs. Pierre Carl Ouellet Ouellet confirmed his reputation as one of the toughest men in PCW, really taking it to the TV champ and even kicking out of a Piledriver until a second one from Flowers was able to keep him down for good.

Pacific Wrestling Showcase from the Victoria Memorial Arena, Victoria, on ESPN / TSN, June 2nd Masa Fuchi vs. Danny Brown At Seattle Showdown, Masa Fuchi made his return to PCW, giving a tough fight before ultimately going down to Vic Steamboat. Possibly looking to show that he is still a threat, Fuchi folded, spindled and mangled Brown with a series of jarring throws and excruciating weardown holds, finally putting him away with a backdrop suplex. The Blood Syndicate has somehow become even more dangerous with the addition of Fuchi to their ranks. Lou Perez vs. The Undertaker Lou Perez had a bit of a struggle to find his own identity in the early days of his career, but has really carved out a niche for himself lately with a series of submission wins, culminating in his unsuccessful but still impressive challenge at Seattle Showdown for Dan Severn's Submission Title. Facing the huge Undertaker, Perez certainly had his work cut out for him, as the Dead Man seemed too big to take down. Changing tactics, Perez started sniping at Undertaker's knee with kicks and dropkicks before backing off. Undertaker got increasingly frustrated at his inability to get Perez in his clutches, as well as the increasing damage to his knee. Perez kept up his hit and run tactics until his luck ran out and Undertaker caught him by the throat in his gloved hand. He planted Perez with a chokeslam, then pulled him up one more time for a Tombstone that put an end to the challenge of the Ladies' Man. But that was not enough for the Undertaker. He told Paul Bearer to slide in a metal folding chair and got set to Tombstone Perez on top of the chair. He was looking to put Perez out of action permanently. Before he could do so, Scott Hall came storming out to the ring and attacked the Undertaker. He kicked the chair out of the ring and started hammering Undertaker with big punches. Undertaker was eager to throw down, but Paul Bearer ordered him out of the ring, and the two stalked back to the locker room. Undertaker has had his way with the PCW roster so far, but big Scott Hall is not likely to be easy pickings. "Mean" Mike Miller vs. Ace Gordon Another wrestler who returned to the PCW roster at Seattle Showdown was "Mean" Mike Miller. With the Crazy Gang having morphed into the Neighborhood Of Evil, there was some speculation as to how Miller would adapt. That was answered when he came out accompanied by "Diamond" Timothy Flowers. Miller has thrown his lot in with the Diamond Exchange, and seems to be as ornery as ever. He battered poor Gordon across the ring, hitting a brutal Coffin Nail (over the shoulder neckbreaker) to put him down. It looks like Flowers has chosen well to fill the role of enforcer for the Exchange. Interview : Don Coss stands in the ring Coss : Ladies and gentlemen, my next guest is now one of the more controversial figures in Pacific Coast Wrestling … Jim "The Anvil" Neidhart! The crowd responds with scattered applause and subdued murmuring . Neidhart heads to the ring with a grim look on his face. Coss : Jim, what everyone here wants to know is : what is the situation with you and the Knights Templar? Neidhart : Well, DON! When I first joined up with Mister Bob and his boys, I was at a crossroads in my life. I had spent so long as part of a team, I felt like I was in the shadow of my partner. I wanted to make a name for myself. The Knights made me an offer. I took it. It was my choice, and I made it. I believed what they told me about their so-called moral crusade. But it didn't take long for the cracks to show. Mister Bob Backlund likes to talk a big game, but he doesn't deliver. Hey, I'm not a stranger to a bit of rough and tumble myself. But I don't put myself up in an ivory tower and say I am better than anyone else. He took short cut after short cut and it made me sick. I don't need to have some holy joe telling me what to do while doing the opposite. I got to the point where I had enough. I made my break and I am done with those creeps. From now on … Neidhart is cut off as there is a commotion at the back. The ring curtain parts and Bret Hart steps through, followed by Owen Hart, Pierre Carl Ouellet and Brian Pillman. The ensemble walks out to the ring and Bret asked for the microphone. Bret : Jim, I am really sorry to interrupt you, but I have been listening to everything you said. I have been hoping and praying some day you would see the light. I hated seeing you with those losers. Just so you know, if you want to get the team back together, you are welcome back. Neidhart : Bret, old buddy, I appreciate the offer … but I can't take it. I've been part of the Hart Foundation, then I was part of the Knights Templar. Now I have to make my own name. You're done some great things on your own, and I need to prove to myself that I can do great things too. But I hope we can be friends again, and if you ever need a hand, you can call on me. Bret : That's all I can ask, brother. The two men shake hands, then hug as the crowd cheers. Vic Steamboat vs. Cactus Jack Cactus was the first one out, but instead of entering the ring, he grabbed the metal folding chair that had earlier been kicked out by Scott Hall, then waited by the ring apron. When Vic Steamboat came out, he was ambushed by Cactus, who clobbered him with the chair. A horrified Jim Cornette was next and was sent flying by a swing from the man from Truth Or Consequences. Cactus then picked up a dazed Steamboat and executed a Double Arm DDT on the chair. PCW security swarmed out to separate the two, but the damage had been done. Cactus Jack laughed maniacally as Steamboat was taken out on a stretcher. Stormfront (Al Snow & Alex Porteau) vs. Dan Kay & Marcus Lehman The new team of Stormfront made their debut at Seattle Showdown and, in spite of a game effort, came up short against the Blood Syndicate. That loss didn't diminish their spirit, and they easily handled Kay and Lehman with a variety of suplexes and double team moves. They finished off Lehman with a punishing move called the Storm Warning (modified double Flapjack that drives the opponent down onto his head). It looks like the Citadel have a tough new team added to their ranks. Tony St. Clair & Robbie Brookside vs. Bob Backlund & Chris Candido Brookside's attitude has ground quite problematic over the past few weeks. In spite of his colleagues Tony St. Clair and Steven Regal's efforts to corral him, his behaviour has grown increasingly out of control. While previously, he had insisted on wrestling an entire tag match on his own, this time out he stayed out of the match. No matter how many times St. Clair came to his corner, Brookside refused to tag in. In spite of having to take on two men by himself, St. Clair did his best and managed to get Candido set up for the Floating Butterfly Suplex. He never got to complete it, as he was clipped in the leg from behind by Brookside. Candido immediately went for the cover and got the one two three. Brookside left his partner laying in the ring as he left with Backlund and Candido, to the deafening boos of the crowd.

Pacific Championship Wrestling Seattle Showdown from the Kingdome, Seattle, Night Two Jerry Lynn vs. Robbie Brookside While Steven Regal has worked his way up to contendership for the TV title, his partner Robbie Brookside has gotten progressively more out of control. Jerry Lynn didn't seem to know what to make of Brookside's unstable personality, treating him cautiously throughout the match and was on the defensive for much of it. This left him vulnerable for a nasty eye gouge from Brookside, who followed up with a rollup assisted by a handful of tights to steal the win. Brookside's behaviour is starting to be a source of concern. Brian Lee & Scott Hall vs. Cactus Jack & Cyrus The Virus Slowly but surely, Scott Hall has been making his way back after a knee injury and the loss of the California Title. Teaming with the promising rookie Brian Lee, he squared off against the always unpredictable Wild Things. While Cactus and Cyrus gave them quite a handful, Hall and Lee showed great fortitude in withstanding their attack and Hall was able to put Cyrus away with the Gator Breaker (Fallaway Slam). It looks like Hall and Lee have put their losses behind them and have their sights set on the sky. The Undertaker vs. Brian Pillman Brian Pillman has been coming off a high profile reign as the Light Heavyweight champ, and looked like he would be a stand up fixture of the division for quite some time. But the former Cincinnati Bengal had ambitions beyond the Light Heavyweight ranks, showing a fearless desire to take on bigger opponents. He certainly had his work cut out for him when he took on the always terrifying Undertaker. Pillman was able to bounce back from much of what Undertaker threw at him, and was able to keep the Dead Man off balance for most of the match. Flyin' Brian's luck ran out when Undertaker caught him coming off the ropes and planted him with a huge chokeslam. A valiant effort from Pillman, and although he came up short, he has nothing to feel ashamed of. Tony St. Clair vs. "Mean" Mike Miller "Tough" Tony has been one of the most respected members of the PCW roster ever since his arrival on the West Coast, and whether he won or he lost an individual match, he was always a force to be reckoned with. Facing the returning "Mean" Mike Miller, himself a notorious scrapper, St. Clair got right down to brass tacks and took the battle right to Miller. The two went at it fist and fire until St. Clair caught Miller flat footed with a spinning forearm smash to win the match. Just goes to show, it doesn't pay to mess with "Tough" Tony. Stormfront (Al Snow & Alex Porteau) vs. The Blood Syndicate (Genichiro Tenryu & Yoshiaki Yatsu) Perhaps the most intimidating new arrival from Japan has been the group calling themselves the Blood Syndicate. Seasoned grapplers Tenryu and Yatsu have left a wake of broken bodies across PCW, including putting an end to the Lethal Weapons. Al Snow has quickly regrouped by forming the new team of Stormfront, bringing in Alex Porteau. Porteau is a fit young wrestler with a wealth of amateur wrestling experience, and the newly forged pair gave a creditable effort, holding their own with Tenryu and Yatsu. Ultimately, the experience of the Japanese team proved to be the difference, with Tenryu flattening Snow with an enzuigiri. A tough loss for Stormfront, but they certainly showed a lot of potential. Billy Jack Haynes & The Southern Boys vs. Makhan Singh & Death Sentence (Jimmie Lee & The Hangman) While they have been through a series of changes, the Neighborhood Of Evil have been a force for chaos throughout 1988. While they have experienced considerable success , they have also made quite a few enemies, notably with Sunshine's men Billy Jack Haynes and the Southern Boys. Both sides went all out in a crazy brawl that wound up breaking down with all 6 men inside the ring. The ref finally called for the bell and the match was declared a no contest, but it took a full complement of security to restore order. California Title Match : Buddy Rose © vs. Doug Furnas Through his many years in PCW, Rose has had many challengers for many titles, but for the first time, seemed genuinely scared of his opponent. The powerfully built Furnas was a truly intimidating opponent, and Rose did everything in his considerable abilities to stall and avoid locking up with him. Even when the match got underway, the Playboy did a lot of ducking and dodging throughout. When Furnas was able to make his moves, he made them count, bouncing Rose around the ring with his incredible power moves. Furnas was attempting to hoist Rose up for the Volunteer Slam (running Canadian Backbreaker into the corner), but Rose's ungainly shape and size allowed him to tip over and counter with a rollup. Rose put his feet up on the corner turnbuckle and that gave him the pinfall. The Playboy had stolen another one. Curt Hennig vs. Bob Backlund Hennig is another wrestler on the comeback trail after losing his Pacific Heavyweight Title to Barry Windham. One of the factors in his loss was a shoulder injury suffered in a defense against Bob Backlund, and Hennig had a score to settle in this match. Backlund was even more dyspeptic than usual , being particularly disgruntled after the departure of Jim Neidhart from the ranks of the Knights Templar. Backlund went right for the shoulder that he had previously injured, but Hennig was having none of it, and used it to lure Backlund into several hiptosses and armdrags. No matter what Backlund threw at him, Hennig had a response. Hennig was able to knock him off his feet with a spectacular dropkick, then pick him up and pin him with the Hennig-Plex. It looks like Curt Hennig is all the way back and ready to show what he is capable of. Pacific Tag Team Title Match : The Sin City Superstars (Scotty The Body & Mark Starr) © vs. The Force Of July (The Patriot & The Eagle) Scotty and Starr have proved to be quite eager pupils of their Playboy Club leader Buddy Rose, winning the Pacific Tag Team Titles by guile and skullduggery. Even so, they seemed very concerned at facing the masked team of the Patriot and the Eagle. The Force Of July have quickly proved to be one of the most popular tag teams in PCW, and they were determined to make the most of their title shot. The FOJ had the champs on the back foot for much of the match. It seemed like the titles would be there when the Patriot went up top for the Patriot Missile on Scotty. At the last second, Scotty reflexively grabbed the ref and threw him into the path of the Patriot. The Patriot was still able to get up from that and hit the Uncle Slam on Scotty, but by the time he went for the cover, the ref had called for the DQ. The Force Of July won the match, but the Superstars were still champs, much to the disappointment of the fans. Submission Title Match : Dan Severn © vs. Lou Perez Little by little, Lou Perez has been making a name for himself as someone who could quickly make his opponent tap out. With his recent success, it was inevitable that he would earn a shot at Dan Severn's Submission Title. Severn was clearly taking Perez seriously, cautiously testing him in the opening stages of the match. It seemed like Perez might take it early on when he swiftly took Severn down with an armdrag and went for a cross armbreaker, but Severn rolled through the move and got to the ropes. The two engaged in a game of human chess held the fans spellbound. Perez was nearly able to get Severn in an Indian Deathlock, but Severn was able to reverse it and trap him in a modified Half Crab. No matter what he tried, Perez was unable to escape and reluctantly tapped out. After the match, Severn helped Perez to his feet and shook his hand, to the cheers of the fans. Pacific Heavyweight Title Match : Barry Windham © vs. Bret Hart The event capped off with a hotly anticipated Heavyweight title match, with champion Barry Windham defending against the extremely popular Canadian star. Hart's star in PCW started to truly rise over a year ago with several challenges during the early part of Windham's first reign, so he was a clear choice to be up for a shot in Windham's first Mega Show defense since regaining the title. The two second generation stars had each other well scouted, so it was tough for one to hold the advantage over the other for long. Windham was able to use his long, powerful legs to kick out of Bret's attempts to lock him in the Sharpshooter. Hart was in turn able to draw on his considerable instincts and technical expertise to avoid Barry's big moves, including fighting out of an attempt to get him up top for the Superplex. After a long stretch of trying to out wrestle each other, they got incredibly vicious, getting down and dirty in a nasty brawl. As the match wore on, the two just started blasting each other with big punches and kicks, wearing each other down till they reached their limits. Windham was able to draw on his last reserves of energy to level Bret with a Western Lariat and was just barely able to keep him down for the three count. A hard fought win that was a fitting end to two great nights of wrestling.

Pacific Championship Wrestling Seattle Showdown from the Kingdome, Seattle, Night One Vic Steamboat vs. Masa Fuchi Pacific Coast Wrestling makes its annual return to Puget Sound and the crowd was buzzing for this opener. Steamboat had made his return to PCW a few months before and now would be facing the newly returning Masa Fuchi. Fuchi came to the ring wearing a black satin jacket with Blood Syndicate written on the back, so we know who he is now aligning himself with. While Steamboat has been on something of a roll of late, Fuchi was no pushover, taking him to the mat catching him in some painful submission holds that it took a lot for Steamboat to escape. The Demon was able to open up with his own offense, but Fuchi would not go down easily. Steamboat was able to stagger him with a thrust kick before coming off the top with a Flying Cross Body Press for the win. A hard fought win for Steamboat that showed that Fuchi was definitely back and not to be taken lightly. Shinya Hashimoto vs. Chris Candido Hashimoto is another of the new Japanese talent that has made such an impact recently in the ranks of Pacific Coast Wrestling. If Candido was at all intimidated by Hashimoto, he did a good job of keeping it to himself, as he gave a fierce effort to try to bring down the Japanese Juggernaut. Hashimoto proved to be too much for him, taking him off his feet with a spinning heel kick before a Jumping Spike DDT put a decisive end to the match. A convincing win for Hashimoto, but Candido still made his mark. The Footloose vs. Joe & Dean Malenko Continuing the array of newly arrived Japanese wrestlers, the team of Kawada and Fuyuki have made a very strong start in PCW with some very impressive wins. Tonight, they would face a team with a lot of experience in Japan, and the Malenkos wasted no time in getting right down to it with the Footloose. This was an incredibly tightly contested bout, where at several points it seemed like either team might take the bout. Kawada was able to elevate Dean for Fuyuki to hit a seated senton off the top rope, and the Footloose had scored their biggest win yet. Leo Burke vs. Jim Neidhart The crowd was buzzing as Neidhart came to the ring, since he had just made an acrimonious split with Bob Backlund and the Knights Templar. He was as hard hitting as ever when squaring off with the leader of the Army, but when he sent Burke flying out of the ring, the Anvil notably stood back and let Burke take the time he needed to get back in. While it was a cleanly fought match, it was no less hotly contested, with Neidhart just barely able to hold down Burke after catching him in a scoop powerslam for the one two three. After the match, Neidhart helped Burke to his feet and shook his hand, a display of sportsmanship that hopefully is a sign of things to come from the Anvil. Dustin Rhodes vs. Maxx Payne Dustin Rhodes suffered a tough loss at Vegas Vengeance to Maxx Payne, but such is the spirit of the son of the American Dream that he was determined to get back on the horse and get a rematch. Strangely, Paul Bearer was not at ringside for one of the members of the Neighborhood Of Evil, but that did not seem to affect the determination of the man from the State Of Euphoria. Payne wrenched Rhodes' arm seven ways from Sunday and took him down to the mat with some jarring suplexes. Rhodes fought his way back and was able to stagger Payne with several big punches. Rhodes battled back but still faced a steep uphill climb. The tide turned when Rhodes ducked a lariat and Payne went hard into the corner. Rhodes swiftly hit a Bulldog Headlock with his good arm and pulled out the win, avenging his earlier loss. Owen Hart & Pierre Carl Ouellet vs. Bob & Crash Holly When the Holly Cousins aligned themselves with the Diamond Exchange, they dropped themselves right into the middle of a feud with Hart and Ouellet. The Canadians certainly were looking to rid themselves as these two young pests, but the Hollys managed to always get just out of reach. Bob tried to get a pinfall on Ouellet with a Sunset Flip, but PCO reversed it. However, while the ref was escorting Owen from the ring, Crash snuck in and ambushed Ouellet with a running forearm to the face, and when the ref turned around, he made the count, giving an upset win to the Cousins. 2/3 Falls Match : The Midnight Express vs. The Destruction Crew Ever since soon after their arrival in Pacific Coast Wrestling, the Destruction Crew have engaged in a brutal feud with the Midnight Express, accomplishing the seemingly impossible feat of turning Jim Cornette and his men into fan favorites. After exchanging wins, it has come down to this two out of three falls match. The Midnights came charging out from the get go and ambushed the DC, hitting the Double Goozle on Bloom to score the first pinfall. Ronnie P. Gossett's men were enraged and determined to make the Express pay, battering them throughout the second fall before pinning Eaton following a double clothesline. Both teams went all out in the third fall, with Cornette and Gossett getting progressively more agitated as it went on. The ref tried to put a stop to their antics, which led to the Crew trying to take advantage of the distraction. Bloom brought in one of their sledgehammers and tried to hit Eaton whiled Enos held him. But Eaton pulled away at the last moment and instead Bloom hit Enos in the midsection. Lane sent Bloom out of the ring with a Savate Kick while Eaton executed a swinging neckbreaker that was able to get the one two three, finally giving the match and the feud to the Midnight Express. Pacific Television Title Match : "Diamond" Timothy Flowers © vs. Steven Regal Coming off a solid reign as one half of the Golden State Tag Team Champions, Regal has been spending more time of late as a singles wrestler, consciously distancing himself from his troublesome British Steel partner Robbie Brookside. Regal was able to impress enough in his singles match to earn a shot at Timothy Flowers' TV title. The canny champion was full of his usual dirty tricks to hold back the young contender, but the British lion showed just how tough he was, knocking Flowers for a loop and keeping him backpedaling through much of the match. Flowers wound up going right to the gutter by sneaking in a low blow to set up a Piledriver, stealing the win. A disappointing result for Regal, but his day will come. Golden State Tag Team Title Match : Art Barr & Eddie Guerrero © vs. Muscle Beach (Rod Price & Tommy Cairo) In a bit of a surprise, the Wild Things' first Mega Show challengers for their Golden State Titles would be the rookie team of Muscle Beach. Price and Cairo were nursing a grudge from Barr and Guerrero's interference in an earlier title match, and they were dead set on getting both the titles and revenge. As you can imagine, this was far from a clean cut match, with both teams seemingly going through the rulebook to make sure that every rule was duly broken. This caught up with Muscle Beach when Cairo brought a chair into the ring, only for Guerrero to dropkick it right into Cairo's face. Barr then rolled up the dazed Cairo for the win. For the moment, both the Golden State Titles and title of dirtiest team in the game stay in the hands of the Wild Things. Pacific Light Heavyweight Title Match : The Cheetah Kid © vs. Brian Christopher The night closes off with another rookie challenging for a title, in this case the Cheetah Kid's Light Heavyweight Title. After a promising start, Christopher has truly bloomed under the tutelage of James E. Cornette. Christopher really gave the new champ a run for his money in an exciting match that had the fans rocking and rolling throughout. It seemed like Christopher might just pull it off when he had the champ set up for the Chris Cross (full Nelson facebuster). But the masked man was able to block it and flattened Christopher with a clothesline. The Kid then went up top and hit a flying somersault senton to successfully defend his title. The fans gave both men a standing ovation for a great capper to the first night of Seattle Showdown.

Small spelling correction, the correct spelling is Denise Storm not Denis Storm

Shinya Hashimoto is currently on the PCW roster.

Wikipedia and prowrestling.fandom.com both have Tommy Dreamer's debut in October 1989.

You and me both. Technically, she has been at ringside for all of Billy Jack's matches, but I hadn't really found a role for her. Now have some ideas so she is going to have more of a presence on my shows.

With the recent changes to the PCW roster, the following matches have been added to the lineup of Seattle Showdown to replace those involving departed wrestlers. Vic Steamboat vs. Masa Fuchi Tony St. Clair vs. "Mean" Mike Miller Stormfront vs. The Blood Syndicate

Pacific Coast Wrestling Show from the UCSB Event Center, Santa Barbara, May 21st Jerry Lynn vs. Chris Candido A fast paced Light Heavyweight showdown that came down to a battle of rollups with Lynn ending up on top Al Snow vs. Makhan Singh Already damaged by his match a couple of days before with the Blood Syndicate, Snow could not overcome the Monster, who crushed him with the Monster Mash (front slam) Brian Pillman vs. Eddie Guerrero Another barn burner of a match, with Pillman able to hit the Air Pillman to pull out a close fought victory The Footloose vs. Bob & Crash Holly The resurgent Hollys gave the young Japanese team a run for the money, coming very close to victory only for crash to go down to a lightning quick lariat from Fuyuki Pacific Television Title Match : "Diamond" Timothy Flowers © vs. Pierre Carl Ouellet Flowers had to resort to dirty tactics to put one over on the double tough French Canadian, sneaking in a low blow out of nowhere to set him up for the Piledriver Pacific Light Heavyweight Title Match : The Cheetah Kid © vs. Art Barr In an evening that had several great Light Heavyweight matches, the title match topped them all. The second generation star gave the champion a real run for the money, and the Cheetah Kid had to break out an especially high impact power bomb to put an end to his challenge.

Pacific Coast Wrestling show from the LA Sports Arena, Los Angeles, on Pacific Super Cards on ESPN / TSN, May 20th Vic Steamboat vs. Cactus Jack After a fierce battle, Steamboat pinned Cactus with a Top Rope Flying Cross Body Press. Cactus was seething at the result, and could be seen muttering to himself after the match. Leo Burke vs. Bob Backlund Backlund seemed distracted without Jim Neidhart at his side, and when he attempted a Backlund Bridge, Burke reversed it with a rollup to get the one two three. Dustin Rhodes vs. Tommy Cairo Cairo tried to out muscle him, but Rhodes scored the pinfall after a Running Bulldog Headlock. California Title Match : Buddy Rose © vs. Owen Hart Hart had Rose back pedaling for much of the match, and looked like he would take the title when he hit a running cross body, but Rose countered with a rollover, and kept his feet on the ropes to steal the win. Curt Hennig, Scott Hall & Brian Lee vs. Barry Windham, The Undertaker & Maxx Payne The war between the Brigade and the Neighborhood Of Evil rolls on. Maxx Payne was particularly aggressive in this match, coming close to hitting the Payne Threshold (front layout suplex) on Hennig, only for Hennig to block it and execute the Hennig-Plex to pull out the victory. Strangely, Windham, Undertaker and Bearer seemed to be keeping their distance from Payne after the match. Cage Submission Title Match : Dan Severn © vs. Gary Albright After some inconclusive matches, it seemed like the only way to settle the feud between Severn and Albright would be to put them in a cage to fight it out. Both men were busted open against the hard walls of the cage early on, and they just got bloodier as the match went on. Albright tried to take out Severn early with a brutal series of suplexes, but Severn weathered out the storm and, little by little , chipped away at the Animal's defenses. Albright nearly got him in the Dragon Sleeper, but a series of hard elbows to the face broke that up. Severn was able to procure a sleeper hold, and though Albright drove him back first into the corner several times, he would not let it go. Severn then took him down with a legsweep and fully applied the body scissors sleeper. With nowhere to go, Albright had no choice but to tap out. Even if you put him in a cage, the Beast reigns supreme.

Pacific Wrestling Showcase from the Olympic Auditorium , Los Angeles , on ESPN / TSN, May 19th Shinya Hashimoto & The Footloose vs. Bob Backlund, Jim Neidhart & Chris Candido There has been a considerable amount of friction in the ranks of the Knights Templar, as Bob Backlund has been increasingly resorting to more and more shortcuts in his matches, to the visible consternation of Jim Neidhart. Not a good time to be facing the new and hungry Japanese team of Hashimoto, Kawada and Fuyuki. The Knights just couldn't get into gear against their eager opposition, and Backlund demanded Neidhart give him a chair to tip the balance in their favour. The Anvil refused, and after an argument, Neidhart walked out and headed to the locker room. Backlund watched in stunned silence, then turned around into a spinning heel kick from Hashimoto that gave the win to the newest members of the Army. It looks like Backlund's attitude has cost him his right hand man. The Southern Boys vs. Death Sentence (Jimmie Lee & The Hangman) The Southern Boys came out accompanied by Sunshine, who it seems has taken Armstrong and Smothers under her wing. Death Sentence were accompanied not just by their manager Paul Bearer, but also "The Monster" Makhan Singh. As one might figure, this was a wild and heated battle, with both sides clashing furiously. The Southern Boys wound up getting a DQ win when Singh entered the ring to attack them, but they weren't outnumbered for long , as almost immediately, Billy Jack Haynes charged out to the ring to even the sides. Paul Bearer ordered his men out of the ring and retreated to the back. Clearly, this is not over by a long chalk. Blood Syndicate (Genichiro Tenryu & Yoshiaki Yatsu) vs. The Lethal Weapons (Steve Blackman & Al Snow) The Lethal Weapons are a popular tag team that has accomplished a lot in their time in PCW, including doing well in the "Moondog" Lonnie Mayne Tag Team Tournament. But even they found themselves overwhelmed by this incredibly vicious Japanese team. Tenryu sent Snow flying out of the ring with an Enzuigiri, then the pair went to work on Blackman. Despite putting up an heroic struggle, Blackman was dismantled by the Blood Syndicate, who proceeded to hit a brutal succession of high impact moves on him until Tenryu folded him in half with a nasty Power Bomb. Blackman wound up being taken out of the ring on a stretcher. In a very short time, the Blood Syndicate has established themselves as one of the most terrifying factions in PCW. Tony St. Clair & British Steel (Steven Regal & Robbie Brookside) vs. "Diamond" Timothy Flowers, Bob Holly & Crash Holly This was a strange match. Early in the match, Robbie Brookside insisted to be tagged in and refused to tag out for the rest of the match. Despite his partner's pleas , Brookside shouldered the burden of the match on his own shoulders. Fair play to him, Brookside did well for a while, but eventually the numbers started to catch up with him. He was able to rally, but took a moment to tell his partners to let him get on with it. He was distracted enough that he didn't see Crash Holly tag in his cousin Bob, who grabbed a fistful of trunks in a rollup that got the pinfall. Brookside's partners tried to talk with him , but he gave them the cold shoulder. Bret Hart vs. Larry Cameron Bret Hart has been looking to prove that he is not to be overlooked since he lost the TV title to "Diamond" Timothy Flowers. After being ambushed by Larry Cameron a few weeks ago, Bret has been clamoring for a match with the Lethal One. The Hitman didn't even wait for the bell to ring before he tore into Cameron. Cameron is one of the toughest men in PCW, but he found it hard to hold back Bret's offense. Although it took some time for Bret to wear him down, Hart got Cameron down and trapped him in the Sharpshooter. Cameron struggled mightily but was unable to escape and had no choice but to tap out. Just goes to show, it doesn't pay to mess with the Hitman.

Hey! I found somebody! Both Wikipedia and prowrestling.fandom.com have Alex Porteau making his debut in 1987. Can I have him?

Will pick up Bob Bradley, Mike Miller and Masa Fuchi as replacements. I will need one more week to write out my old guys.

Wow, that is one crazy result for th emain event in Greenville! Rough night for Paul Jones.

Best I could manage for a picture of a wrestler coming back under a mask without giving away who they are

Pacific Coast Wrestling show from the Selland Arena, Fresno, May 14th Vic Steamboat vs. Jim Neidhart Although Neidhart clearly had a lot on his mind and the Demon was a lot to contend with , the Anvil kept his winning streak in his hometown of Fresno alive, pinning him after a discus clothesline Brian Lee vs. Rod Price The Bulldozer ran over one half of Muscle Beach, pinning him following a Prime Time Slam Lou Perez vs. Cyrus The Virus Perez forced the always devious Virus to tap out to an Indian Deathlock Golden State Tag Team Title Match : Art Barr & Eddie Guerrero © vs. The Lethal Weapons (Steve Blackman & Al Snow) The Lethal Weapons were showing a new confidence as they came incredibly close to taking the titles when Blackman flattened Barr with a running bicycle kick. Before he could go for the pinfall, Guerrero clobbered him with a clothesline to the back of the head, stealing the win from the resurgent Weapons Curt Hennig vs. Chris Candido Candido had his second tough match of the weekend, this time against the former Pacific Heavyweight champ. Once again, he put in a game effort but came up just short when Hennig caught him in the Hennig Plex Pacific Television Title Match : "Diamond" Timothy Flowers © vs. Robbie Brookside Brookside went all out against the champ, but got careless when he came off the ropes for a Thesz Press. Flowers caught him and dropped him throat first on the top rope then covered him for the one two three. Brookside was clearly frustrated by the result, kicking over a chair as he left the ring.

Pacific Coast Wrestling show from the Cow Palace , San Francisco, on Pacific Super Cards on ESPN / TSN, May 13th Brian Christopher vs. Jerry Lynn These two light heavyweights had a tightly contested match which went to Christopher by way of the Chris Cross (full Nelson facebuster) Pierre Carl Ouellet vs. Makhan Singh PCO was clearly still carrying some damage from the previous day's attack from the Diamond Exchange, as despite his best efforts, he was still overwhelmed by the Monster who took him down with the Monster Mash (front slam) The Southern Boys vs. Death Sentence (Jimmie Lee & The Hangman) The Southern Boys carried their animosity to the Neighborhood Of Evil over to the new pairing of Death Sentence, resulting in a crazy brawl that ended in a no contest when the ref had lost all control over the match Shinya Hashimoto vs. Cactus Jack The Japanese newcomer certainly had his hands full with the unconventional leader of the Wild Things, but prevailed with an elevated DDT Buddy Rose & The Sin City Superstars (Scotty The Body & Mark Starr) vs. Doug Furnas & The Force Of July (The Patriot & The Eagle) The FOJ were on a roll from their win the night before, and Furnas has been coming on strong lately. Rose wanted nothing to do with any of them, letting his partners do most of the heavy lifting. Not a great plan against such a powerhouse team, as Furnas squashed Scotty with the Volunteer Slam (running Canadian Backbreaker into the corner) Pacific Heavyweight Title Match : Barry Windham © vs. Brian Pillman They say that it isn't the size of the dog in the fight, it's the size of the fight in the dog. Brian Pillman proved that as , despite giving up a fair amount of height and weight , he gave the champ the fight of his life. Windham seemed unsure of what to do with the former Cincinnati Bengal, resorting to hitting a lariat on the outside to get a win by countout

Pacific Wrestling Showcase from the Oakland Alameda County Arena, Oakland, on ESPN / TSN, May 12th ???, ??? & ??? vs. James Reid, Steve Morris & Dave Cruser The crowd was buzzing with anticipation for this match as Leo Burke and Jerry Lynn came out to the ring. When Burke made his return to PCW last week, he promised some big surprises, so the fans were eager to find out what he had in store. He asked for the ringside microphone. Burke : Well, folks, I promised a new era for the Army and here we are. Besides me and Jerry, I have brought in some of the most promising young wrestlers from Japan … Shinya Hashimoto, and the tag team of the Footloose, Toshiaki Kawada and Ricky Fuyuki! The Japanese wrestlers has serious looks as they headed out to the ring to show PCW what they had to offer. The Footloose lived up to their name with rapid fire combination moves that kept their opponents off balance, while Hashimoto hit incredible hard, knocking the other wrestlers across the ring with spinning kicks before finishing off Reid with a Running DDT. With these new additions to their ranks, the Army is definitely back with a vengeance. The Force Of July (The Patriot & The Eagle) vs. Bob Backlund & Jim Neidhart Last week, the Knights Templar came out on top in a pair of singles matches with the members of the Force Of July. This time out, they would be facing them on their own terms, in a tag team match. Backlund and Neidhart certainly had the advantage of experience over the young team. But the masked men had a wealth of athletic ability and synergy on their side, and the Knights seemed to be struggling to get in synch in this match. The Anvil seemed quite perturbed by Backlund's willingness to take the low road, and looked confused when it seemed like Backlund was telling him to interfere in the match. A fatal mistake for Backlund, as it left him unprepared for the FOJ hitting a flying double shoulder tackle that gave the win to the masked team. Backlund was clearly furious, and was lambasting Neidhart as they left the ring, but the Anvil gritted his teeth and said nothing all the way back to the locker room. Death Sentence (Jimmie Lee & The Hangman) vs. Aaron Reisberger & Michael Bortone The more things change … it seemed like the Neighborhood Of Evil had returned to whatever passes for normal for them. Another week and now they have reorganized again, putting forth a new team composed of the Gravedigger and a mysterious masked man known only as the Hangman. Regardless, Death Sentence made short work of Reisberger and Bortone, with the Hangman polishing off Bortone with a move called the Gallows Pole (two handed chokeslam) that looked awfully familiar. No matter what happens, the Neighborhood Of Evil remains as scary as ever. Scott Hall vs. Chris Candido After he lost the California Title to Buddy Rose, Scott Hall took some time out to rehab his knee but is now back and set on showing he is still a force to be reckoned with. Full credit to Chris Candido, even though he was outweighed and overpowered, he gave Hall quite a battle, but Hall was not about to be denied, executing the Gator Breaker (fallaway slam) for the win. Only time will tell what is next for big Scott Hall. The Blood Syndicate (Genichiro Tenryu & Yoshiaki Yatsu) vs. Joel Anderson & Chet Welch The third team to debut this week was clearly cut from a different bolt of cloth from the new members of Army. These two experienced Japanese wrestlers seemed to delight in tormenting and torturing Anderson and Welch, hitting every move and executing every hold to inflict as much pain as possible. After Tenryu sent Anderson flying out of the ring with an Enzuigiri, Yatsu trapped Welch in the Jailhouse Lock until he screamed out his submission. This is a duo that is clearly not going to take any prisoners. Owen Hart & Pierre Carl Ouellet vs. "Diamond" Timothy Flowers & Larry Cameron Last week, "Lethal" Larry Cameron made a shocking return, aligning himself to the Diamond Exchange and ambushing Bret Hart. While Bret tends to his wounds, his brother Owen brought his partner PCO to avenge him. While Flowers and Cameron were both vicious, Owen and PCO were not about to back down and gave as good as they got. The battle went back and forth, but it seemed to be swinging the way of the Canadian team. Then, out of nowhere, Hart and Ouellet were attacked by two wrestlers invading the ring. It was Bob and Crash Holly, clearly still holding a grudge from their loss a couple of weeks ago. All four men attacked Owen and PCO until security intervened, when they all left the ring together. It didn't take long for the Diamond Exchange to get all the way back up to full strength.

Quick correction on my roster , Buzz Sawyer has been traded and now Larry Cameron is part of my roster.
