PCW retakes Robbie Brookside and Lou Perez, adds Ricky Fuyuki and Yoshiaki Yatsu.

Pacific Coast Wrestling show from McArthur Court, Eugene, May 7th Jerry Lynn vs. Joe Malenko Lynn gave Joe a real run for his money before being pinned with a German Suplex Steven Regal vs. Cyrus The Virus While Cyrus was up to his usual devious tricks in this match, Regal surprised many by pulling a few short cuts of his own before getting the win with the Regal-Plex. The Eagle vs. Jim Neidhart The Anvil was looking to bounce back after his loss last week, and while The Eagle gave him a considerable battle, Neidhart was able to catch him with a powerslam to pull out the win. Doug Furnas vs. Cactus Jack Speaking of Furnas, he continued his winning ways by defeating the Wild Man of the Wild Things with the Volunteer Slam (running Canadian Backbreaker into the corner) Golden State Tag Team Title Match : Art Barr & Eddie Guerrero © vs. Owen Hart & Pierre Carl Ouellet Owen and PCO got a rematch for the Golden State titles and gave it their all, only for Guerrero to sneak in an over the shoulder neckbreaker to keep the titles in the hands of the Wild Things. Pacific Light Heavyweight Title Match : The Cheetah Kid © vs. Crash Holly The Cheetah Kid closed out the night with another exciting Light Heavyweight Title Match, holding off the challenge of Crash Holly and defeating him with a Power Bomb.

Pacific Coast Wrestling show from the Portland Memorial Coliseum , Portland , on Pacific Super Cards on ESPN / TSN, May 6th Al Perez vs. Bob Holly Perez continued his streak of quick submission wins, forcing Holly to tap out to an Indian Deathlock. Steve Armstrong vs. Makhan Singh Armstrong did his best, but was overwhelmed by the Monster, getting caught attempting a running cross body and being crushed by the Monster Mash (front slam). Leo Burke vs. Louie Spiccoli Burke had a successful return in his first match back in PCW, defeating Spiccoli with a belly to back suplex. Scott Hall & Curt Hennig vs. The Destruction Crew Hall and Hennig were both coming back after title losses, in Hall's case recovering from a knee injury, and certainly weren't taking it easy on themselves by taking on Ronnie P. Gossett's dynamic young team. After an especially hard hitting match, the Brigade pulled it out when Hall executed the Gator Breaker (Fallaway Slam) on Bloom. Loser Leaves Town Match : Curtis Hughes vs. Bull Pain Hughes showed that he was not about to be intimidated by his former colleague , pinning Pain following the Cat's Claw (modified side slam onto the knee) to send him packing from PCW. A rough night for Ronnie P. Gossett. California Title Match : Buddy Rose © vs. Dustin Rhodes Rose was clearly taken aback by how much of a challenge Dustin gave to him in this match, back pedaling and stalling through much of it. He was able to block an attempted Bulldog Headlock with a back kick low blow, then hoisted Rhodes out of the ring to get a cheap win by countout. Submission Title Match : Dan Severn © vs. Dean Malenko Malenko drew some raised eyebrows when he came out without his usual manager, Gary Hart. The word soon spread among the crowd that the Pride were no longer employing Hart's services. Without Hart looking over his shoulder, Dean still gave a very concerted effort to take the title, coming close to trapping Severn on several occasions before being caught in a Guillotine Sleeper to come just short. Pacific Tag Team Title Match : The Sin City Superstars (Scotty The Body & Mark Starr) © vs. The Lethal Weapons (Steve Blackman & Al Snow) Dan Severn was back at ringside to give guidance to the Weapons, who showed their new resolve by taking the champs to a 20 minute time limit draw.

Pacific Wrestling Showcase from the Portland Sports Arena, Portland , on ESPN / TSN, May 5th Brian Christopher vs. Chris Candido Brian Christopher's star has been on the rise lately, scoring the coveted Pacific Light Heavyweight Title shot in the main event of the first night of Seattle Showdown. Former champion Chris Candido was clearly miffed at this, feeling that the shot should have been his. Candido went all out against Christopher, and it was a down and dirty fight. But it seems like the tutelage of James E. Cornette paid off, with Christopher catching Candido with the Chris Cross (Full Nelson facebuster) for the win. Brian Lee vs. Brad Virata Brian Lee had a tough night at Vegas Vengeance, giving his all in a match against his cousin the Undertaker but ultimately being put away with a Tombstone. Set on proving that he was still worthy of the faith of the fans, the Bulldozer ran right over Virata, devastating him with big slams and throws before polishing him off with the Prime Time Slam. Just goes to show that you can't keep a good man down. Interview : Don Coss stands in the ring Coss : Ladies and gentlemen, my next guest have asked for some time on the show to make an announcement … the Army. The crowd cheers as Dan Severn, Jerry Lynn, Doug Furnas, Steve Blackman and Al Snow head out to the ring. They all have solemn looks on their faces as they join Coss. Coss : Dan Severn, you requested this opportunity to say something. What's on your mind? Severn : That's, right , Don. As you can see, we are a bit down in numbers. The Army has been going through a bit of a rough time. Jerry , Al and Steve gave a good effort in the Tag Team Tournament, but didn't make it to the finals. Doug showed what a great talent he was against Bob Backlund, but came up just short of the mark. I managed to come out with my Submission Title still in my possession, but wasn't able to decisively beat the Animal. The fact is, I haven't been doing a good job as leader of the Army. I have been split between supporting my guys and defending my title, and haven't given either my full focus. I've been letting the guys down. And, sad though it is to say, this can't go on. The Army as we know it are over. A gasp comes up from the fans and Don Coss is clearly shocked. Coss : Good heavens, Dan, what are you saying? Are the Army breaking up? Severn : Well, Don, I've got someone here who can explain everything. Severn points to the ring curtain, and the fans look in amazement as out comes … LEO BURKE! The former leader of the Army hadn't been seen in PCW in several months, but was now making a dramatic return. Coss : Leo Burke, this is a surprise! We thought we might never see you again in Pacific Coast Wrestling. Burke : Well, Don , I am as surprised as you are. I thought that my time on the Pacific Coast was done and I was moving on to new opportunities. But I found myself straying from my own personality, gave into temptation and did some things I am not proud of. I took some time out and realized that I needed to get back to what I do best. Dan got in touch with me, and I realized how much I missed my boys. I needed to come home and be the leader and teacher I was meant to be. So we all got together and decided to reorganize. Severn : That's right, Leo. I am going to be forming my own new group called the Citadel. Doug, Al and Steve will be joining me in this group. We will work together and go to the next level as a team. Leo : And Jerry will be with me in a new version of the Army. If you think that two men is a bit small for an army, well , let's just say that we have some surprises in store. *winks* Make no mistake, the Army and the Citadel are going to show that PCW is where stars are born! The Hollywood Vampires (The Vampire Warrior & Jimmie Lee) vs. Gary Stritesky & Anthony Robinson After a brief absence, "The Grave Digger" Jimmie Lee is back in the fold of the Neighborhood Of Evil and has returned to his place in the Hollywood Vampires. Lee and the Vampire Warrior showed why they are one of the most dangerous teams in PCW as they full on destroyed Stritesky and Robinson , beating them from pillar to post before polishing off Robinson with their new tag finisher, the Mass Burial (double Elevated DDT). The Neighborhood Of Evil continue to be one of the scariest groups in all of the Pacific Coast. The Patriot vs. Bob Backlund Backlund was accompanied by his right hand Knight Templar, Jim Neidhart, as he locked up with one half of the Force Of July. Backlund seemed somewhat caught off guard by the Patriot. While the masked man was still fairly inexperienced, he had a considerable amount of strength and natural athleticism on his side, and he got the better of Backlund on a number of exchanges. Backlund wound up going to desperation tactics, attacking the Patriot's mask so that he was unable to see. While the Patriot tried to cover up, Backlund caught him in a rollup, using the ropes for leverage to steal the pin. Neidhart seemed quite perturbed by Backlund's actions, giving him the side eye as they left the ring together. Pacific Television Title Match : "Diamond" Timothy Flowers © vs. Bret Hart Bret Hart is heading towards Seattle Showdown and a shot at Barry Windham's Pacific Heavyweight Title, but he is determined to go in as Television champ. He was serious about retaking the TV title that he had just lost at Vegas Vengeance, going all out against Flowers. With first Angel Acevedo and then Buzz Sawyer gone from PCW, "Diamond" Tim stood as the last remaining member of the Diamond Exchange, but dug in with all of the skill and guile at his disposal to keep his grip on the title. It was an intense battle, but it seemed like Hart had Flowers on the ropes when someone charged into the ring and attacked him. There was much confusion while the ref called for the DQ, but Flowers joined in on the attack and it was revealed to be … "LETHAL" LARRY CAMERON! Cameron hadn't been seen in PCW in some time, and before that, had been part of 2 popular tag teams, winning the Tag Titles with Bill Dundee and forming Iron & Steel with Tony Atlas. Now, however, he seemed to be throwing his lot in with the Diamond Exchange, tossing Bret out of the ring and ramming him head first into the ringpost. Hart was bleeding from the forehead when Owen Hart and Pierre Carl Ouellet ran out to protect him from Flowers and Cameron, who were laughing together as they left the ring. Owen had to help his brother back to the locker room to have his cut be attended to.

PCW trades Gary Hart to WCW for Sherri Martel.

Hot on the heels of Vegas Vengeance, Pacific Coast Wrestling is coming up on our next Mega Show, Seattle Showdown. We are now able to announce the main events of this 2 Night spectacular. Night One Pacific Light Heavyweight Title Match : The Cheetah Kid © vs. Brian Christopher Night Two Pacific Heavyweight Title Match : Barry Windham © vs. Bret Hart

Pacific Coast Wrestling show from the Kelowna Memorial Arena, Kelowna, April 30th The Lethal Weapons (Steve Blackman & Al Snow) vs. The Destruction Crew The Destruction Crew bowled over the Weapons when they hit the Wrecking Ball on Snow. Tony St. Clair vs. Bull Pain A knock down, drag out fight that went to St. Clair with the spinning forearm smash Doug Furnas vs. Jim Neidhart These two power houses had a titanic battle that ended when Furnas levelled the Anvil with a mighty lariat Biff Wellington vs. Gary Albright Albright crushed Wellington with a takeover suplex on the way to victory Brian Lee vs. Makhan Singh The Bulldozer put in a heroic effort, but the Monster proved to be too much to overcome, and Singh hit the Monster Mash (front slam) for the win Pacific Light Heavyweight Title Match : The Cheetah Kid © vs. Cyrus The Virus The new Light Heavyweight champ prevailed in his first defense, taking down the devious Cyrus with a Power Bomb.

Pacific Coast Wrestling show from the Pacific Coliseum, Vancouver on Pacific Super Cards on ESPN / TSN , April 29th The Golden Guns (Biff Wellington & Jerry Lynn) vs. Muscle Beach (Rod Price & Tommy Cairo) Muscle Beach overpowered the Guns, pinning Wellington after the Beach Break (stuff Power Bomb) Vic Steamboat vs. Chris Candido The Demon scored a hard fought victory over the former Light Heavyweight champion with the Demon Suplex (Tiger Suplex) The Force Of July (The Patriot & The Eagle) vs. Cactus Jack & Cyrus The Virus The popular masked duo of the Force Of July hit a double Flying Shoulder Tackle on Cactus Jack for the win Pacific Television Title Match : "Diamond" Timothy Flowers © vs. Steven Regal Flowers seemed caught off guard by how much of a fight Regal gave him. The young Englishman hit him flat footed with a European uppercut that sent him flying out of the ring . Flowers barely made it back into the ring in time, but trapped Regal with a rollup with his feet on the ropes to steal the win. Golden State Tag Team Title Match : Art Barr & Eddie Guerrero © vs. Owen Hart & Pierre Carl Ouellet Hart and Ouellet seemed to have the new champs on the run, when out of nowhere, Rod Price and Tommy Cairo charged into the ring and attacked Barr and Guerrero. Muscle Beach were clearly still sore at the Wild Things having interfered in their own title shot several weeks ago, and sent Barr and Guerrero fleeing from the ring. Hart and Ouellet were clearly disgruntled by the result, but it still stood as a DQ loss for them. Loser Leaves Town Cage Match : Bret Hart vs. Buzz Sawyer These two were determined to be rid of each other once and for all, and tore into each other with an incredible ferocity. It wasn't long before both men were bleeding all over the ring. Sawyer eventually got so crazed by fury that he charged at Hart head first, only to collide with the cage wall when Hart ducked out of the ring. Hart drove him down with a Piledriver, then locked him in the Sharpshooter and forced him to submit. One of the most intense feuds in PCW was now in the history books.

Pacific Wrestling Showcase from the Victoria Memorial Arena, Victoria, on ESPN / TSN, April 28th Brian Christopher vs. Robbie Brookside Brian Christopher has really come into his own since taking on James E. Cornette as his mentor. Coming of a strong time limit draw at Vegas Vengeance , Christopher was facing one half of the former Golden State tag champs and was set on continuing his momentum. Brookside proved a formidable opponent, but Christopher was able to hit the Chris Cross (Full Nelson facebuster) for the win. It looks like the sky is the limit for Cornette's young charge. Interview : Don Coss stands in the ring Coss : Ladies and gentlemen, my next guest …. Oh, sweet Jesus, no …. Is the new California Champion, "Playboy" Buddy Rose! Rose is , hard as it might be to believe, even more insufferably smug than usual. With the California Title Belt slung casually over his shoulder, he saunters out to the ring, backed up by Scotty The Body and Mark Starr (who have the Pacific Tag Team Title Belts around their own waists), with Rod Price and Tommy Cairo bringing up the rear. Coss : Well, Buddy Rose, I guess you feel proud of yourself after what you pulled at Vegas Vengeance. Rose : HOW MANY TIMES ARE YOU IDIOTS GOING TO KEEP FALLING FOR THIS? First Roddy Piper, then Fit Finlay, and now big dumb Scott Hall! Oh no, the Playboy Club has been banned from ringside! Whatever will I do? Hall is a sap if he forgets that the Playboy always has a plan! Coss : But having "Diamond" Timothy Flowers interfere on your behalf is just plain dirty pool. Rose : Hey, it's not my fault if I have a lot of friends. Flowers is a good buddy of mine, and we agreed to a little Quid Pro Quo. I scratched his back by having Muscle Beach lend a hand in his TV title match, he scratched mine by helping out with the California Title. The power of Friendship! And power is what we have. I am the California champ, Scotty and Mark are Pacific Tag champs, and as for Rod and Tommy …. Well, let's just say we have something special planned for them . * winks * Face it , folks. I am the King, and the Playboy Club and the Diamond Exchange rule PCW as we should … and there's nothing you can do about it! Lou Perez vs. Louie Spiccoli Lou Perez has been paying his dues in his short time in PCW, but like his Vegas Vengeance opponent Brian Christopher, he is set on capitalizing on the attention he got from that match to move up the PCW rankings. Spiccoli didn't seem to be concerned with Perez at the start of the match, but it didn't take long for his look of derision to turn to one of alarm. No sooner had the two men locked up than Perez took Spiccoli over in a lightning quick armdrag, and quick as a flash he followed up with a cross armbreaker. Spiccoli was horrified to find himself trapped in the excruciating hold, and wasted no time in tapping out. It looks like the Ladies Man in not going to be taken lightly anymore. Curtis Hughes vs. Anh-Tuan Bui One of the bigger surprises coming out of Vegas Vengeance was the Big Cat Curtis Hughes parting ways with his manager Ronnie P. Gossett. An even greater surprise was his joining up with James E. Cornette. Cornette looked like the proverbial cat that ate the canary as he led Mr. Hughes out to the ring to utterly dismantle Bui, tossing him about the ring before hitting the Cat's Claw (modified side slam onto the knee) for the win. You can bet that Gossett is going to think twice before messing with Cornette now. Loser Leaves Town Pacific Tag Team Title Match : Sin City Superstars (Scotty The Body & Mark Starr) © vs. Coast 2 Coast (John Tatum & Jack Victory) At Vegas Vengeance, Coast 2 Coast suffered a heartbreaking loss to the Sin City Superstars, losing the Pacific Tag Team Titles that they had fought so hard to gain. They immediately campaigned for a rematch, which Scotty and Starr granted, but with the stipulation that the losers of the match would be gone from Pacific Coast Wrestling. The new champs were laughing as they came to the ring, taunting Tatum and Victory with the cans of hairspray that had damaged Victory's eyesight a few weeks before. They weren't laughing for long as Coast 2 Coast went after them with a vengeance, dead set on making them pay for taking their titles. They battered Scotty and Starr until Victory had Starr set up for the Victory-Plex. Before he could hit it, Scotty clobbered him in the back of the head with the can of hairspray. Starr executed the Starrburst Suplex (slingshot suplex) on the dazed Victory, and just like that, Coast 2 Coast's time in PCW had come to a close, much to the disappointment of the fans. Billy Jack Haynes & The Southern Boys vs. Maxx Payne & The Hollywood Vampires (Vampire Warrior & Makhan Singh) The Southern Boys went through the grueling Moondog Lonnie Mayne Memorial Tag Team Tournament and came out on top, earning considerable prestige for doing so. The Hollywood Vampires were still sore over their Semi-Final loss to the Southern Boys, and were looking to get some revenge in this Six Man Tag match. Armstrong and Smothers brought in considerable backup in Billy Jack Haynes, while the Vampires had the always intimidating Maxx Payne on their side. Haynes seemed like he would be the deciding factor for his side when he got Vampire Warrior locked in the Full Nelson. But before he could force the tap out, someone attacked him from behind. It was "Grave Digger" Jimmie Lee! The former member of the Hollywood Vampires clobbered Billy Jack in the back with his shovel, and the ref called for the DQ. Lee, Warrior and Payne kept Armstrong and Smothers out of the ring while Singh went to town on the Oregon native , culminating in a huge running splash. The Southern Boys grabbed some chairs as weapons and fought their way into the ring, but the damage had been done. As the Neighborhood Of Evil bailed out of the ring, Armstrong and Smothers had to watch over Haynes as he was taken out on a stretcher. Owen Hart & Pierre Carl Ouellet vs. Bob & Crash Holly Owen Hart and Pierre Carl Ouellet may make for an unlikely pairing, but they have certainly proved to be an effective one. After their big win at Vegas Vengeance, they would be taking on another hot young team in the Holly Cousins. While Bob and Crash were as feisty as always, Owen and PCO held together, with Owen hitting a reverse flying body press to score the pinfall. The win was even sweeter when it was announced that Owen and PCO would get a Golden State Tag Team Title shot the next night in Vancouver. The Canadian team and their fans were jubilant, although the Cousins were clearly seething at this news.

We haven't been 100% consistent with the rule, there have been some international wrestlers who have stayed for longer than their real life times in North America. I am always in favor of more pieces on the board, so if everyone else is good with Tiger Mask 2 coming in, I am too. I am expressing an interest in having Kawada come in, he had runs in both International and Stampede, albeit a couple of years before the current time.

I think Misawa might be a bit of a push. We have some Japanese wrestlers on our rosters, but they had some North American presence. Misawa never had any substantial run in North America. On the other hand, I think Kawada had some runs in North America. (I recall a friend of mine said he saw him wrestle in International at the Bob Guertin Arena in Hull.)

Yeah, sorry, was out of line.

That said, I am not sure about bringing him in as Ultimo Dragon. He was wrestling as Yoshihiro Asai and didn't become Ultmo Dragon until much later in his career.

So close Congrats to the Andersons for being the biggest cheaters (from the Midnight Express, there is no higher praise)

PCW drops Angel Acevedo and picks up Jimmie Lee.

Pacific Coast Wrestling Vegas Vengeance from the Showboat Arena, Las Vegas, Night Two The Force Of July (The Patriot & The Eagle) vs. Buzz Sawyer & Angel Acevedo Night Two kicks off with the incredibly popular Force Of July squaring off with two members of the Diamond Exchange. The two masked men have showed considerable polish considering their short careers so far, fending off the dirty tactics of Sawyer and Acevedo. At one point in the match, Bret Hart came out, wanting payback for Sawyer's interference in his match the night before, but security surrounded him and made him go back to the locker room. No matter, as the Eagle caught Acevedo in a German Suplex, getting the win for his team. The Midnight Express vs. The Destruction Crew After what happened the night before, it was perhaps not as big of a surprise as it might have been that Jim Cornette came out with Curtis Hughes watching his back. Perhaps because of this, Gossett and the Crew were a bit more gun shy about using their sledgehammers for sinister effect in this match. Regardless, the considerable rivalry between these two teams led to an incredibly heated match , with the impressive power of the Crew proving to be quite a challenge for the incredible tag team coordination of the Midnights. It was a close call at a number of spots , until the Express hit a Double Goozle on Enos to pull out the win. The Midnight Express had gotten payback for their loss at Aloha Spectacular. Doug Furnas vs. Bob Backlund Furnas had suffered a tough loss to Backlund several weeks ago, and has been champing at the bit to get another match with the former multiple champion. The big Oklahoman came on quite aggressively earlier in the match, and Backlund took advantage of his carelessness. But Furnas eventually steadied down, getting the better of Backlund on a few power exchanges. He was able to avoid several attempts to work him into the Cross Face Chicken Wing, and it seemed like he might just pull off the upset. Alas, it was not to be, as Backlund was able to pin him with a roll up out of the corner. Regardless, he did seem to have gained a measure of respect from Backlund, who shook his hand, although it seemed a bit begrudgingly. For a moment, it looked like Backlund might just try to turn the handshake into a Chicken Wing, but the steely look in Furnas' eye made him think better of it. Tony St. Clair vs. Jim Neidhart St. Clair has been fighting a war of honor with Neidhart after the Anvil showed disrespect to the members of British Steel. "Tough" Tony was coming in a step off after being hurt in an earlier match with Gary Albright, but was still set on avenging his fellow countrymen. The two went at it fist and fire, with both men getting busted open by their flying forearms. In the end, it seemed like the damage already done to St. Clair proved to make the difference, with Neidhart being just barely able to wear him down enough to Thump him with a power slam for the win. Billy Jack Haynes vs. Bull Pain Long time PCW favorite Billy Jack Haynes is working to get himself back into title contention, being hungry to reach the top of the rankings. He showed his grit as he faced the enforcer of Ronnie P. Gossett's organization. Bull Pain was no pushover, doing everything he could get the Hangman's Drop (two handed chokeslam) , but Haynes kept at him and hit the Shoulder Breaker to pull out the win. He is clearly a contender for any title he chooses. Pacific Submission Title Match : Dan Severn © vs. Gary Albright While Severn has shown a cool confidence in his matches since winning back the Submission Title, but he looked quite concerned as he stood across the ring from the huge Animal. He was right to be, as Albright had pretty much rolled over his opponents since he made his debut in Pacific Coast Wrestling. Albright resisted several attempts by Severn to take him down, and even managed a few jarring throws that threw Severn for a loop. The champion rallied and managed a few armlocks on Albright, but the Animal was able to work his way out of them. Albright was able to batter Severn down into the Dragon Sleeper, and it looked like there might be a new champ. But Severn was able to work his way to the ropes, forcing a break. When the two got to their feet , they battled it out, struggling to catch the other one out, until they wound up both tumbling out of the ring. They continued to fight until they were both counted out. A disappointing result , but you can bet you have not seen the last of this match up. Brian Lee vs. The Undertaker Another man who has rolled over the opposition has been the Undertaker, who has torn quite a swathe through Pacific Coast Wrestling ever since he joined up with the Neighborhood Of Evil. His cousin Brian Lee, however, has been dead set on standing up to him. The Undertaker showed no mercy to his kinsman, choking him every chance he could to grind him down. The Bulldozer would not knuckle under, hitting some bit shots although not able to get the Dead Man off his feet. He was able to fight his way out of an attempted chokeslam by the Man In Black, but when the Undertaker got him up for the Tombstone, it was all over. Rest In Peace, Brian Lee. Moondog Lonnie Mayne Memorial Tag Team Tournament Semi-Final Match : The Lethal Weapons (Steve Blackman & Al Snow) vs. Joe & Dean Malenko The second round of the Tournament got off to a roaring start with these two top flight teams. The Lethal Weapons and the Malenkos are certainly no strangers to each other, having had a series of classic matches already with both sides getting the win on different occasions. Tonight's match was no different, with both teams going all out in a tense match that could have gone either way. Blackman tried to put it away with a running Bicycle Kick, but Joe shut it down with a dropkick to the knee, followed by a Tiger Driver. The Malenko Brothers had earned their place in the Tournament Finals. Moondog Lonnie Mayne Memorial Tag Team Tournament Semi-Final Match : The Southern Boys vs. The Hollywood Vampires (The Vampire Warrior & Makhan Singh) The next match in the tournament looked like a mismatch, with the Vampires having a distinct size advantage over the Southern Boys. It wasn't so simple, with Smothers having proved himself as a double tough competitor, and Armstrong being the son of the legendary "Bullet" Bob Armstrong. Make no mistake, the Hollywood Vampires came on strong, but the Southern Boys fought back with equal tenacity. Smothers was able to hold off the Monster long enough for Steve to hit a missile dropkick on Vampire Warrior for the upset victory. The Tournament Finals were now set : The Wild Eyed Southern Boys vs. The Southern Shooters. Pacific Tag Team Title Match : Coast 2 Coast (John Tatum & Jack Victory) © vs. The Sin City Superstars (Scotty The Body & Mark Starr) The young tag team of Scotty and Starr have proved to be eager pupils of "Playboy" Buddy Rose in the art of underhanded tactics. Thanks to them, Jack Victory comes into this match with damaged vision, and Coast 2 Coast are coming in to the match at a disadvantage. The Sin City Superstars took advantage of this every chance they could, attacking his eyes relentlessly and double teaming with impunity. Tatum did what he could to shoulder the burden of the match, but eventually Victory had to come in. He battled valiantly, but his attempt at a Victory-Plex on Starr was shut down by a Superkick to the back of the head from Scotty. Starr then hit the Starrburst Suplex (slingshot suplex) which brought the Pacific Tag Titles back into the Playboy Club. No DQ California Title Match : Scott Hall © vs. Buddy Rose (The Brigade and the Playboy Club are banned from ringside) Scott Hall is another champion coming into the match injured, with a heavily bandaged knee from an earlier injury providing a tempting target. He was helped by the Playboy Club being banned from ringside, but the no DQ stipulation was doing him no favors. True to form, the Playboy dug into his bag of tricks to work over that knee, and Hall was in considerable pain through much of the match. He even posted Hall outside the ring, and Hall had to go through the second half of the match with blood trickling into his eyes. He came back to flatten Rose with a clothesline, and set him for the Gator Breaker (overhead slam). It was clearly excruciating for him , but he gritted his teeth and was ready to put him away. But then , out of nowhere, "Diamond" Timothy Flowers (who had snuck down to ringside) came off the top rope with an elbow smash to Hall's head, causing the champ to fall over with Rose on top. The ref counted three and the hearts of the fans sank. Rose laughed and high fived Flowers, satisfied that he had once again pulled the wool over the eyes of the fan favorites. Moondog Lonnie Mayne Memorial Tag Team Tournament Finals : The Southern Boys vs. Joe & Dean Malenko It all came down to this match, with the winning team winning not just the honor of being the tournament champs but also $500000 . Both teams had overcome considerable competition to get to this point, and both teams were equally focused on coming out on top. In spite of very wearing matches earlier in the evening, all four men kicked in in to high gear, spurred on by the high stakes of the match. It was a study in contrasts, with the wild and wooly tactics of the Southern Boys matching up with the technical precision of the Malenkos. It was a tense match that could have gone either way, but the Southern Boys pulled it out with a spectacular double dropkick from the top rope on Dean to get the pinfall. Smothers and Armstrong were the tournament champions and the fans couldn't be happier. Pacific Heavyweight Title Cage Match : Curt Hennig © vs. Barry Windham Two nights of great wrestling finished off with the biggest match of the show, a climactic cage match for the Pacific Heavyweight Title. In what has been a bit of a theme over the past couple of nights, Hennig is coming in with an injury, a badly damaged shoulder from his title defense with Bob Backlund. He was set on toughing it out against his former friend. Barry Windham came out in his traditional black, wearing a black leather glove on his right hand and led to the ring by his manager, Paul Bearer. When the door locked behind them, these two went at it like caged animals. Both men ended up busted open by the cage, with Windham viciously exacerbating the cut on Hennig's forehead by pounding it with his gloved fist. Windham worked over Hennig's bad shoulder every chance he good, but that just made Hennig all the more set on enduring. He used his substantial ring savvy and skill to get out of several traps from the Widow Maker, and it looked like he just might pull it out with he went for the Axe Lariat . But Windham ducked at the last second, and Hennig hit the ref instead. While Hennig tried to revive the ref, Windham went to the corner and Paul Bearer passed a metal object through the bars of the cage. Windham put it into his glove, and when Hennig came over to him , Windham punched him in the face with the loaded glove. Hennig went down like a sack of rolled oats, and then Windham dragged him up from the mat and hoisted him up onto the top turnbuckle, taking him back down with a huge Superplex. By now, the ref had recovered enough to make the count for another heartbreaking decision. Windham was now a two time Pacific Heavyweight Champion, to the chagrin of the fans.

Pacific Coast Wrestling Vegas Vengeance from the Showboat Arena, Las Vegas, Night One Brian Christopher vs. Lou Perez Vegas Vengeance kicks off with two promising up and comers. Both men are a few months into their careers, and while they have been paying their dues and taking their lumps, they have pulled out a few impressive wins. Christopher has found a willing mentor in his manager James E. Cornette, while Perez embraced the fellowship of the Brigade. The match was a study in contrasts between the daredevil tactics of Christopher and the more methodical and scientific style of Perez. It seemed like Christopher would take it when he had Perez set up for the Chris Cross (full nelson facebuster), but the Ladies Man blocked it and countered with a legsweep. Perez then followed up by attempting to apply the Indian Deathlock, but Christopher was able to make it to the ropes to break the hold. The two will still going at it when the bell rang, signaling a 15 minute time limit draw. Both men shook hands after the match in a display of sportsmanship that pleased the fans. Dustin Rhodes vs. Maxx Payne Dustin Rhodes is another young rookie who has been working hard to establish himself. He has pulled off some solid wins, but faced his sternest test so far in the bully of the Neighborhood Of Evil. Maxx Payne hit Dustin hard, but the son of the American Dream returned fire with equal determination. Little by little, though, the man from Hell's Kitchen wore Dustin down. Rhodes tried to bring him down with a Bulldog Headlock, but Payne blocked it and countered with a huge Atomic Drop. He then followed up with the Payne Threshold (front layout suplex) and that was that. A tough loss for Dustin, but you can bet your bottom dollar he will bounce back. Owen Hart & Pierre Carl Ouellet vs. Cactus Jack & Cyrus The Virus One of the more unexpected pairings of late in PCW has been that of Owen Hart and Pierre Carl Ouellet. The youngest scion of the Hart Family and the double tough French Canadian have united against their common foes, the equally unusual duo of Cactus Jack and Cyrus The Virus. The Wild Things were a lot for Owen and PCO to handle, with their crazy daredevil offense, but Owen was able to hold off Cactus long enough for Pierre to hit a Cannonball Senton to get the win on Cyrus. If they keep up like this, it won't be long before Owen and PCO are in title contention. Moondog Lonnie Mayne Memorial Tag Team Tournament First Round Match : The Lethal Weapons (Steve Blackman & Al Snow) vs. Bob & Crash Holly For the past few years, the Moondog Lonnie Mayne Memorial Tag Team Tournament has been an annual high point of the PCW schedule, and with the Tag division thriving the way it has been, the third tournament has garnered a lot of attention. Two new teams kicked off the tournament, with the scrappy Holly Cousins giving a real fight to Blackman and Snow. The Lethal Weapons kept their cool and Snow was able to pin Crash with the Snow Bomb, bringing his team to the Semi Finals. Moondog Lonnie Mayne Memorial Tag Team Tournament First Round Match : The Golden Guns (Jerry Lynn & Biff Wellington) vs. Joe & Dean Malenko The next match in the tournament featured a relatively new pairing of Lynn and Wellington taking on a team that has been working together their whole lives, the Malenko Brothers. The Golden Guns were eager to prove themselves, and gave a good accounting against the brothers, using deft double teams and combinations to keep them on their toes. Ultimately, though, the experience of the Malenkos proved to be the difference, with Dean pinning Lynn following a Brainbuster to move on in the tournament. Moondog Lonnie Mayne Memorial Tag Team Tournament First Round Match : The Southern Boys vs. The Suicide Blondes (Chris Candido & Louie Spiccoli) These two teams had different motivations for the tournament, with Armstrong and Smothers looking to work their way up the tag team rankings while Candido and Spiccoli fighting to impress their Knights Templar leader Bob Backlund. Both teams dug in and hit hard, with Spiccoli in particular knocking the Southern Boys for a loop on several occasions. He failed to notice Armstrong tagging out, however, and wound up being caught by surprise when Smothers came off the top with a Jawjacker to pin him. A hard fought win for the Southern Boys, with more fights ahead if they hope to win the tournament. Moondog Lonnie Mayne Memorial Tag Team Tournament First Round Match : The Hollywood Vampires (The Vampire Warrior & Makhan Singh) vs. Muscle Beach (Rod Price & Tommy Cairo) This was a wild one, as could be predicted with two teams associated with groups as sinister as the Neighborhood Of Evil and the Playboy Club. As their name would indicate, Price and Cairo tried to out muscle the Vampires, managing some truly impressive power moves on the Warrior. But Vampire Warrior fought back with ferocity and when he tagged in Singh, the big Monster just ploughed through Muscle Beach. Rod Price got desperate and grabbed a chair and hit Singh across the back, but the Monster just shook it off. The ref called for the DQ and Muscle Beach bailed from the ring , making a beeline for the locker room. Vic Steamboat vs. Curtis Hughes At Aloha Spectacular, the Demon got a countout victory over the Big Cat, but Hughes was hungry for revenge, and this rematch was signed. Ronnie P. Gossett worked himself up into a state of gibbering apoplexy , screaming at Hughes, making James E. Cornette seem calm by comparison, if you can believe it. Cornette kept relatively calm (for him, that is) , giving Steamboat guidance from ringside. Hughes was clearly going all out, and hammered Steamboat pretty hard. The resilient Steamboat could not be kept down for long, and battled back with intense knife edge chops. The two went back and forth until Hughes clotheslined Steamboat out of the ring. It was at this point that Gossett's constant screaming proved a fatal distraction, as when Hughes went over to try to figure out what exactly he was bellowing about, he failed to notice that Steamboat had caught himself on the top rope. By the time he turned around, Steamboat came off the top rope with a Flying Cross Body Press and the ref counted the one two three. Gossett was livid at the loss, going ballistic on Hughes. Hughes endured it stoically, but when Gossett slapped him in the face, that was too far. Hughes grabbed Gossett by the collar and drew back his fist. Gossett started to panic, and soon Bull Pain rushed out to the ring to back up his manager. Gossett and Pain soon discovered that Hughes now had Steamboat backing him up, and the two sides were at a stand off until Hughes let go of Gossett. Gossett retreated to the back with Pain, while Hughes eventually went to the locker room with Cornette and Steamboat. Golden State Tag Team Title Match : British Steel (Steven Regal & Robbie Brookside) © vs. Art Barr & Eddie Guerrero After a tumultuous start to 1987, Regal and Brookside recovered to win the Golden State Tag Team Titles, fending off a host of challengers to hold onto the belts. The Wild Things duo of Barr and Guerrero have been relentless in dogging their heels, and it has taken everything they had for British Steel to fend them off. In this match, the Wild Things were especially vicious, using every dirty tactic they had in a full court press on the champs. They executed a variety of cheap shots, low blows and double teams to wear down the champs. British Steel showed they were worthy of the name as they weathered out the storm and give a fair accounting of themselves, but it wasn't enough to keep Brookside from being blindsided by a clothesline from Barr that set him up for an over the shoulder neckbreaker from Guerrero. Barr then tagged himself in and hit the Frog Splash while Guerrero held off Regal and that was that. A sad end to what was an incredible title run for British Steel. Pacific Television Title Match : Bret Hart © vs. "Diamond" Timothy Flowers While Bret has had to spend much of his energy fending off Buzz Sawyer, he now had to face the leader of the Diamond Exchange in this Television Title match. Flowers has a lot of experience and has been a consistent threat in both of his runs in the territory, so Bret knew he was in for a fight. These two got down and dirty, slugging it out and knocking each other about the ring. Bret , slowly and surely, was getting the better of Flowers and working his way to getting him in the Sharpshooter when, sure enough, Buzz Sawyer showed up at ringside. He jawed with Bret until the ref ordered him away from the ring. However, while the ref was distracted, Rod Price and Tommy Cairo , of all people, snuck into the ring and levelled Bret with a double clothesline. They quickly ducked out of the ring, and Flowers dragged up Bret from the ring to hit a Piledriver. One, two, three , the ref counted the pinfall. At heartbreaking result, but Flowers was now the TV champ. Pacific Light Heavyweight Title 2/3 Falls Match : Brian Pillman © vs. The Cheetah Kid Over the last year or so, the Light Heavyweight Title has come out of the shadows and become one of the high points of any PCW show. Young Brian Pillman has proved to be a very popular champ, having title defenses against a host of challengers that have gotten raves from the fans. His challenger tonight, the Cheetah Kid, has become a fan favorite in his own right, and anticipation was high for this match. The two men had a long feeling out process to start the match, with an extended technical duel that ended when Pillman caught Cheetah in an Oklahoma Roll to score the first pinfall. For the second fall, the two opened up a bit more, hitting harder on their moves and taking more risks. Pillman ended up running into a dropkick, with Cheetah Kid following up with a boot to the midsection and then a Power Bomb to even up the falls. Pillman clearly was knocked for a loop by the power bomb and, in a show of sportsmanship, Cheetah Kid gave him time to recover before restarting the match. For the third fall, both men went all out and took it to the skies, with a brilliant display or aerial moves against each other. Pillman wound up trying to wrap it up with a Victory Roll out of the corner, but Cheetah Kid blocked it and held Pillman's shoulders to the mat for the three count. Another new champ was crowned and Pillman himself put the belt around Cheetah Kid's waist. An incredible finish for the first night, and we would be back for Night Two.

Pacific Coast Wrestling show from the Selland Arena, Fresno, April 16th Brian Christopher vs. Jim Neidhart The always game Christopher was without his manager James E. Cornette, but gave the Anvil quite a battle before Fresno native Neidhart forced him to tap out to the Anvilizer Owen Hart & Pierre Carl Ouellet vs. Bob & Crash Holly The Canadians continued their winning ways with Ouellet pinning Crash following a Cannonball Senton Brian Lee vs. The Vampire Warrior The Bulldozer was able to defeat Vampire Warrior with the Prime Time Slam Doug Furnas vs. Bull Pain Furnas was able to come back from his earlier loss by hitting a belly to back suplex on the always tough Bull Pain for the win. Golden State Tag Team Title Match : British Steel (Steven Regal & Robbie Brookside) © vs. Joe & Dean Malenko These two teams engaged in a tightly contested tag team duel that went to a 30 minute time limit draw. Pacific Light Heavyweight Title Match : Brian Pillman © vs. Jerry Lynn The popular Flyin' Brian closed the evening with a terrific match with young hopeful Jerry Lynn that the champ won with a top rope flying Sunset Flip

Pacific Coast Wrestling show from the Cow Palace , San Francisco, on Pacific Super Cards on ESPN / TSN, April 15th The Golden Guns (Biff Wellington & Jerry Lynn) vs. The Destruction Crew Continuing their bullying ways, the Destruction Crew took out Wellington with the Wrecking Ball. Lou Perez vs. Louie Spiccoli In a deft display of submission wrestling, Perez forced Spiccoli to tap out to a cross armbreaker. Billy Jack Haynes vs. Maxx Payne This match of two big bruisers went to Billy Jack when he took down Payne with a slingshot clothesline. Tony St. Clair vs. Gary Albright "Tough" Tony put up a fight , but the big Animal was too much for him, crushing him with a belly to belly suplex that left St. Clair visibly hurt as he left the ring. Scott Hall & Coast 2 Coast (John Tatum & Jack Victory) vs. Buddy Rose & Muscle Beach (Rod Price & Tommy Cairo) With the Sin City Superstars participating in the Crockett Cup, Rose brought in Muscle Beach to take on the California and Pacific Tag Champs. The Playboy Club took advantage of the lingering injuries to Hall and Victory, with Price and Cairo particularly focusing on Hall's damaged leg, setting him up for the Inside Out Backbreaker from Rose for the win. Pacific Heavyweight Title Match : Curt Hennig © vs. Curtis Hughes Hennig was clearly still hurting from his arm being put through Bob Backlund's Cross Face Chicken Wing last week. Hughes capitalized and gave the champ a ferocious battle, coming close to pinning him on several occasions, but Hennig was able to come back and hit the Axe Lariat to successfully defend his title.

Pacific Wrestling Showcase from the Oakland Alameda County Arena, Oakland, on ESPN / TSN, April 14th The Southern Boys vs. Billy Garcia & JP Calderon With the Moondog Lonnie Mayne Memorial Tag Team Tournament just a week away, the PCW tag teams are fighting hard to go in with as much winning momentum as they can. Smothers and Armstrongs showed an easy confidence as they easily dispatched Garcia and Calderon, with Smothers hitting a Spinebuster on Calderon. A convincing victory, but the Southern Boys certainly have their work cut out for them if they want to carry this all the way to the tournament finals. Vic Steamboat vs. Makhan Singh With his manager James E. Cornette on the East Coast this weekend guiding the Midnight Express in the Crockett Cup, "The Demon" Vic Steamboat came out alone against the always terrifying "Monster" Makhan Singh. Despite being outweighed by a considerable margin, Steamboat showed no fear, lacing into his chest with knife edge chops. The massive Khan was able to knock Steamboat down with his mass, but Steamboat kept bouncing back up and coming back at him. He rallied but got careless with he hit a running cross body press on Khan. Khan caught him and then crushed him with the Monster Mash (front slam) for the win. A brave effort from Steamboat but he just came up short against the Monster. Dustin Rhodes vs. Chris Candido Another man facing a match with a terrifying opponent is young Dustin Rhodes, who is looking at a matchup with the always vicious Maxx Payne at Vegas Vengeance. Tonight, Rhodes squared off with the former Light Heavyweight champ Candido. While Candido gave Rhodes a fair amount of trouble, Dustin was able to put him down with a Running Bulldog Headlock . You can bet that Rhodes won't let it go to his head, and he is taking his upcoming match with Payne with the seriousness that it deserves. The Lethal Weapons (Steve Blackman & Al Snow) vs. Art Barr & Eddie Guerrero These are two teams on different but highly important paths to Vegas Vengeance , with the Lethal Weapons entering the Moondog Lonnie Mayne Memorial Tag Team Tournament and the Wild Things getting their long awaited rematch for the Golden State Tag Team Titles. The Lethal Weapons did their best to remain cool in the face of the frequent dirty tactics of Barr and Guerrero, but Eddie was able to pin Snow following an over the shoulder neckbreaker. The Wild Things are on the hottest run of their young careers, and British Steel are in for the fight of their lives. Doug Furnas vs. Barry Windham Someone else looking at a rematch at Vegas Vengeance is Barry Windham, who will be gunning for Curt Hennig's Pacific Heavyweight Title in a much anticipated cage match. Windham has been on an absolute tear lately, taking no prisoners in a series of dominant matches. The big Oklahoman Furnas was no pushover and gave Windham all he could handle, but ultimately the Widowmaker came roaring out of nowhere with a massive Western Lariat and score the victory. Windham left no doubt as to who the top contender is. Bret Hart, Owen Hart & Pierre Carl Ouellet vs. "Diamond" Timothy Flowers, Buzz Sawyer & Angel Acevedo The Diamond Exchange and the Canadian team went at it like cats and dogs in a crazy match. Neither team held back, and while Owen got the win with reverse flying cross body press on Acevedo, it was Bret and Buzz who grabbed most of the attention, tearing into each other long after the end of the match. It took all of their teammates to separate the two. With his title defense coming up against Flowers, Bret really doesn't need this kind of distraction.

Bret Hart is the Television champ, but he is also a secondary champ that I would need for a main event for house shows. He was featured in the main event at the Canadian shows, but with the Portland home base, I needed to feature the Portland guys (Rose, Billy Jack) along with a big Heavyweight Title main event. Even in my somewhat accelerated timeline, Cactus Jack in 1988 is not yet what he would be, being the leader of a mid card stable that otherwise consists mostly of second generation wrestlers very early in their careers (along with a promising newcomer less than 4 months from his first match). I felt this would be a good match to bring in the University Of Oregon fans without giving away a match that would be a big draw in a bigger market.

Pacific Coast Wrestling show from McArthur Court, Eugene, April 9th Biff Wellington vs. Gary Albright Albright overwhelmed Wellington, crushing him with a takeover suplex. Brian Lee vs. The Vampire Warrior Still keyed up from his battle with the Undertaker in the six man match a couple of days before, the Bulldozer took it out on the Vampire Warrior, hitting the Prime Time Slam for the win. The Force Of July (The Patriot & The Eagle) vs. Bob & Crash Holly The Force Of July prevailed over the always game Holly Cousins, pinning Crash following a double flying shoulder tackle. Pierre Carl Ouellet vs. Makhan Singh The double tough PCO gave Singh quite a fight, but the Monster won out with the Monster Mash (front slam). Pacific Light Heavyweight Title Match : Brian Pillman © vs. Jerry Lynn Another great Light Heavyweight Title Defense, with Pillman scoring the win over "Dynamic" Jerry Lynn with the Air Pillman Pacific Television Title Match : Bret Hart © vs. Cactus Jack Hart has weathered some hellacious title defenses lately, and he must have known he was in for another one when he faced the leader of the Wild Things. Cactus gave Bret everything he had, and tried to hit the Russian Legsweep, only for Hart to block it by grabbing the ropes, then level Cactus with a huge clothesline to just barely pull out the win.

Pacific Coast Wrestling show from the Portland Memorial Coliseum , Portland , on Pacific Super Cards on ESPN / TSN, April 8th Dustin Rhodes vs. Angel Acevedo Rhodes beat the Cuban Assassin with a running Bulldog Headlock. Robbie Brookside vs. Eddie Guerrero A fast paced match that saw a lot of showboating by Guerrero before he pinned Brookside with a Grog Splash. The Southern Boys vs. Joe & Dean Malenko With both teams gearing up for the Moondog Lonnie Mayne Memorial Tag Team Tournament, they had an intensely competitive bout to try and establish going in. These two teams went at it for a long time, until Dean was able to put Tracy Smothers away with a Brainbuster. Steven Regal vs. Art Barr Much like his partner earlier in the evening, Art Barr spent a lot of his time in this match showing off and bragging. This would coast him when he dropkicked Regal out of the ring, and took time to gloat to the crowd. He failed to notice that Regal had caught himself on the top rope, and while Barr's back was turned, Regal snuck up behind him and hit the Regal-Plex for the win. Scott Hall & Coast 2 Coast (John Tatum & Jack Victory) vs. Buddy Rose & The Sin City Superstars (Scotty The Body & Mark Starr) Hall was going into this match with an injured leg, while Victory's vision was compromised by earlier actions from the Sin City Superstars. The Playboy Club shamelessly took advantage of all of this, inflicting considerably more damage before the Superstars took down Victory with a Double DDT. 2/3 Falls Pacific Heavyweight Title Match : Curt Hennig © vs. Bob Backlund 1st Fall : Hennig pinned Backlund following the Axe Lariat 2nd Fall : Backlund went crazy and wrenched Hennig's arm ten ways from Sunday before forcing him to tap out to the Cross Face Chicken Wing 3rd Fall : Although he was clearly in agony, Hennig bravely battle back and hit a top rope missile dropkick to score the deciding pinfall Final Result : Hennig successfully defended his title

Pacific Wrestling Showcase from the Portland Sports Arena, Portland , on ESPN / TSN, April 7th Doug Furnas vs. Louie Spiccoli A few weeks ago, Doug Furnas gave Bob Backlund quite a fight before being pinned by the Backlund Bridge. With a rematch coming up at Vegas Vengeance, Furnas is looking to prove himself worthy as he takes on Backlund's newest acolyte, Louie Spiccoli. Spiccoli actually tried to overpower Furnas, but the mighty Oklahoman showed his considerable force as he easily dominated Spiccoli in every test of strength. Furnas dominated the Suicide Blonde before hoisting him up and hitting the Volunteer Slam (running Canadian Backbreaker into the corner) for the win. Furnas is determined to show that he has what it takes to be in the same ring as the former World Champion. Lou Perez vs. Buddy Rose Buddy Rose has seemingly gotten even more smug as he gears up for his California Title match with Scott Hall, if that were even possible. He certainly wasn't giving much credit to young Lou Perez, the junior member of the Brigade. Perez has faced an uphill struggle to establish himself, but certainly has had the ladies in the audience on his side. Although Rose was not initially taking this match seriously, Perez was all business as he took on the Playboy. Rose seemed to be taken aback at how aggressive Perez was, who managed several takedowns and got Rose in several painful armlocks and leglocks. It took a lot of effort each time for Rose to get to the ropes and force the break, but Rose eventually worked that to his advantage, grabbing a fistful of trunks and putting his feet on the ropes for leverage to steal the win. He managed to get the victory, but learned a lesson not to take the Ladies Man lightly. The Midnight Express & Vic Steamboat vs. The Destruction Crew & Bull Pain The war between Camp Cornette and Ronnie P. Gossett's crew rages on with this six man tag match. The ref struggled to no avail to maintain some sense of order to the match, with both sides ganging up in the ring at a moment's notice. It eventually broke down to all six men brawling in the ring, with the Destruction Crew clobbering Steamboat from behind with a double clothesline to the back of the head to set him up to be pinned by Bull Pain. This is a feud that shows no sign of stopping any time soon. Submission Title Match : Dan Severn © vs. Dean Malenko Severn is staring down the barrel of facing perhaps his most fearsome challenger yet, "The Animal" Gary Albright. Before he will face Albright, though, he had to overcome the Animal's comrade, Dean Malenko. The Iceman provided a considerable challenge, and it took all of Severn's experience and skill to find his way out of some of the traps Dean used to ensnare him. The champion was finally able to sink in the Body Scissors Sleeper to force Dean to tap out, but Malenko certainly didn't go down without a fight. You can bet the Gary Albright was watching this match backstage with keen interest. Billy Jack Haynes vs. Curtis Hughes Throughout Billy Jack's time in Pacific Coast Wrestling, he has been one of the most popular competitors, as well as a top contender for any title he chooses. As such, he provides a tempting target for anyone looking to prove themselves. Curtis "The Cat" Hughes has been a fearsome combatant in his short time in PCW, but was looking to push himself further up the ranks by taking down one of the big dogs. These two went at it fist and fire, with Haynes unable to get Hughes up in the Shoulder Breaker while being able to fight out of a couple of attempts at the Cat's Claw. He was able to bring the Big Cat down with a flying shoulder tackle, but it clearly took a lot to pull out this victory.

Will be looking to shift Buzz Sawyer, John Tatum and Jack Victory around the end of April.
