And I thought I was the one for the overlooked wrestlers

With just a few weeks to go before PCW's next Mega Show, we are now able to announce the full card. There are a lot of big matches coming, including the annual Moondog Lonnie Mayne Memorial Tag Team Tournament. The team that wins the tournament wins a $500000 prize, so you can bet that the competition this year will be more intense than ever. Pacific Coast Wrestling Vegas Vengeance from the Showboat Arena, Las Vegas, Night One Brian Christopher vs. Lou Perez Dustin Rhodes vs. Maxx Payne Owen Hart & Pierre Carl Ouellet vs. Cactus Jack & Cyrus The Virus Moondog Lonnie Mayne Memorial Tag Team Tournament First Round Match : The Lethal Weapons (Steve Blackman & Al Snow) vs. Bob & Crash Holly Moondog Lonnie Mayne Memorial Tag Team Tournament First Round Match : The Golden Guns (Jerry Lynn & Biff Wellington) vs. Joe & Dean Malenko Moondog Lonnie Mayne Memorial Tag Team Tournament First Round Match : The Southern Boys vs. The Suicide Blondes (Chris Candido & Louie Spiccoli) 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) Vic Steamboat vs. Curtis Hughes Golden State Tag Team Title Match : British Steel (Steven Regal & Robbie Brookside) © vs. Art Barr & Eddie Guerrero Pacific Television Title Match : Bret Hart © vs. "Diamond" Timothy Flowers Pacific Light Heavyweight Title 2/3 Falls Match : Brian Pillman © vs. The Cheetah Kid 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 The Midnight Express vs. The Destruction Crew Doug Furnas vs. Bob Backlund Tony St. Clair vs. Jim Neidhart Billy Jack Haynes vs. Bull Pain Pacific Submission Title Match : Dan Severn © vs. Gary Albright Brian Lee vs. The Undertaker Moondog Lonnie Mayne Memorial Tag Team Tournament Semi-Final Match Moondog Lonnie Mayne Memorial Tag Team Tournament Semi-Final Match Pacific Tag Team Title Match : Coast 2 Coast (John Tatum & Jack Victory) © vs. The Sin City Superstars (Scotty The Body & Mark Starr) California Title Match : Scott Hall © vs. Buddy Rose (The Brigade and the Playboy Club are banned from ringside) Moondog Lonnie Mayne Memorial Tag Team Tournament Finals Pacific Heavyweight Title Cage Match : Curt Hennig © vs. Barry Windham

Pacific Coast Wrestling show from the Kelowna Memorial Arena, Kelowna, April 2nd Dustin Rhodes vs. Tommy Cairo Dustin was ultimately able to prevail over one half of Muscle Beach, taking him down with a running Bulldog Headlock for the win. Tony St. Clair & British Steel (Steven Regal & Robbie Brookside) vs. Jim Neidhart & The Suicide Blondes (Chris Candido & Louie Spiccoli) This came down to several nasty exchanges between St. Clair and Neidhart, with British Steel and the Suicide Blondes being unfortunate to get caught between them. Neidhart pinned Brookside following a running powerslam, but you know he wants to get St. Clair in the ring again one on one. Pierre Carl Ouellet vs. Curtis Hughes Ouellet put in a yeomanlike effort but ultimately was caught in the Cat's Claw (modified side slam onto the knee) to give the duke to Hughes. The Force Of July (The Patriot & The Eagle) vs. Art Barr & Eddie Guerrero The FOJ dominated much of the match but lost by DQ when Barr tricked the Eagle into taking a swing at him, only to duck and the masked man hit the ref instead. Pacific Light Heavyweight Title Match : Brian Pillman © vs. Joe Malenko Another long and tough title defense for Pillman, where he was able to block a German Suplex attempt by Malenko, then reverse it into a rollup for the victory.

Pacific Coast Wrestling show from the Pacific Coliseum, Vancouver on Pacific Super Cards on ESPN / TSN , April 1st Dan Severn & The Golden Guns (Jerry Lynn & Biff Wellington) vs. Gary Albright, Joe Malenko & Dean Malenko The Army did their best to hold off the Pride, but the Animal Albright hit a crushing takeover suplex on Lynn to get the win. The Lethal Weapons (Steve Blackman & Al Snow) vs. The Suicide Blondes (Chris Candido & Louie Spiccoli) After their Army comrades earlier defeat, the Lethal Weapons were determined to get their group back on the winning side, and despite a determined effort from the Blondes, Blackman caught Candido flat footed with the running Bicycle Kick to pull out the victory. Brian Christopher vs. "Diamond" Timothy Flowers The scrappy young Christopher gave Flowers an incredible fight until Flowers was finally able to put him down with the Piledriver. Brian Lee vs. Angel Acevedo Keyed up from his match the day before, the Bulldozer ran over the Cuban Assassin, pinning Acevedo following the Prime Time Slam. Pacific Tag Team Title Match : Coast 2 Coast (John Tatum & Jack Victory) © vs. The Sin City Superstars (Scotty The Body & Mark Starr) With Jack Victory still suffering from impaired vision after the actions of the Superstars, Scotty and Starr relentlessly double teamed him, ultimately losing by DQ when Scotty knocked down the referee when he tried to get some semblance of order in the match. Pacific Television Title Match : Bret Hart © vs. Bull Pain After the battering he took last week in the Dog Collar Match with Buzz Sawyer, Bret struggled to hold back the attack of Bull Pain, but finally was able to take him down with a running clothesline before forcing him to tap out to the Sharpshooter.

Pacific Wrestling Showcase from the Victoria Memorial Arena, Victoria, on ESPN / TSN, March 31st The Cheetah Kid vs. Sekou Bunch The Cheetah Kid has been in PCW for a relatively short period of time, but has made the most of it, winning a spot in the heart of the fans an a shot at the Light Heavyweight Title at Vegas Vengeance. Tonight , he showed why he has been such a hot contender, easily dominating Bunch with his high flying moves before hitting the Power Bomb for the win. A very strong showing, but it remains to be seen if this will be enough to take the title from Brian Pillman. Barry Windham vs. Vic Steamboat Another man heading towards a title shot at Vegas Vengeance is "The Widowmaker" Barry Windham. Ever since joining up with the Neighborhood Of Evil, he has been waging a campaign of terror to try to get a chance to regain the Pacific Heavyweight Title, now held by his former friend Curt Hennig. The Demon was certainly no pushover and was not going to give up to Windham without a fight. But in the end, the man from Sweetwater was too much to overcome, pinning Steamboat following a Superplex. You can bet Curt Hennig has to be watching this match with concern. Brian Lee, Dustin Rhodes & Lou Perez vs. The Undertaker & The Hollywood Vampires (The Vampire Warrior & Makhan Singh) Speaking of the feud between the Brigade and The Neighborhood Of Evil, another of the biggest players in the NOE has been the Undertaker. The former Texas Red has not been pinned since taking on his new name, and despite their best efforts, one by one, the members of the Brigade have gone down in defeat. While Undertaker and the Vampires focused much of their attention on Perez, the junior member of the Brigade, it was Brian Lee who was refusing to knuckle under to the NOE, throwing down with Undertaker and giving back some heavy receipts to the Vampires. While Undertaker wound up getting the win after executing the Tombstone on Perez, Lee still wanted to keep going after him after the match. Looks like the two cousins are headed for a showdown sooner or later. Owen Hart vs. Cyrus The Virus A heady feud has blown up between the Wild Things and the unusual pairing of Owen Hart and Pierre Carl Ouellet. While their partners were banned from ringside, but these two still went at it with a white hot fury. The unconventional stylings of Cyrus seemed to be confuse Owen at first, and The Virus was able to take Owen down on a number of occasions. But Owen drew on his family's training and rallied, eventually catching Cyrus coming off the ropes with a belly to belly suplex for the win. A well earned victory, but you can bet that this has settled nothing. California Title Match : Scott Hall © vs. Rod Price Scott Hall suffered a leg injury caused by the dastardly actions of the Playboy Club , but has bravely continued to defend his California Title. Price's Muscle Beach partner Tommy Cairo was not at ringside, but Buddy Rose, the leader of the Playboy Club, was there giving "encouragement". Price targeted Hall's injured leg, attacking it mercilessly while hitting several nasty low blows and cheap shots. Hall gutted it out and hit a standing clothesline that levelled Price to successfully defend his title, but it was clearly at quite a cost. How much longer can Hall do this before something gives?

We are just a few weeks away from the next PCW Megashow, Vegas Vengeance, but Commissioner Dutch Savage has just announced the main events for both nights. Night One 2/3 Falls match for the Pacific Light Heavyweight Title : Brian Pillman (c) vs. The Cheetah Kid Night Two Cage Match for the Pacific Heavyweight Title : Curt Hennig (c) vs. Barry Windham As well as the continuation of a PCW tradition with the 3rd Annual "Moondog" Lonnie Maine Memorial Tag Team Tournament. See you in Las Vegas!

Pacific Coast Wrestling Show from the UCSB Event Center, Santa Barbara, March 26th Owen Hart, Pierre Carl Ouellet & The Golden Guns (Jerry Lynn & Biff Wellington) vs. The Wild Things (Cactus Jack, Cyrus The Virus, Art Barr & Eddie Guerrero) This was a fast paced and exciting match that saw Ouellet come back from his defeat the night before and hit Le Cannonball (senton bomb) on Cyrus to score the victory Lou Perez vs. Jim Neidhart Perez was still feeling the effects of what Backlund did to him a couple of nights before, and the Anvil took advantage of that, forcing him to submit to the Anvilizer (modified Cobra Clutch) Vic Steamboat vs. Bull Pain "The Demon" came back from an earlier ambush by Pain to get the win with a Flying Cross Body Press Doug Furnas vs. Barry Windham Furnas put up quite a fight, but the Widow Maker would not be denied, hitting a Western Lariat to score the pinfall Golden State Tag Team Title Match : British Steel (Steven Regal & Robbie Brookside) © vs. Muscle Beach (Rod Price & Tommy Cairo) The young Englishmen put up a concerted defense against the powerful new team and wound up winning, but only by DQ, when they were attacked by Art Barr and Eddie Guerrero, who hit a double over the shoulder neckbreaker on Brookside before leaving the ring. Pacific Light Heavyweight Title Match : Brian Pillman © vs. Dean Malenko These two put on a Light Heavyweight classic that saw Pillman successfully defend his title by forcing Dean to tap out to a cross armbreaker.

Pacific Coast Wrestling show from the LA Sports Arena, Los Angeles, on Pacific Super Cards on ESPN / TSN, March 25th The Midnight Express vs. The Destruction Crew Another chaotic match between the two that went to a double DQ when the sledgehammers and Cornette's tennis racquet came into play. Pierre Carl Ouellet vs. Maxx Payne These two tough men had a hard hitting bout where , after a long battle, Payne was finally able to put Ouellet down with the Payne Threshold (front layout suplex). The Lethal Weapons (Steve Blackman & Al Snow) vs. The Hollywood Vampires (The Vampire Warrior & Makhan Singh) The Lethal Weapons have mostly had success since teaming up, but found it hard to make a dent in the big "Monster" Makhan Singh, who pinned Blackman with the Monster Mash (front slam) Brian Lee vs. Joe Malenko While Malenko was able to get Lee in a number of predicaments, the Bulldozer was able to get the better of Joe with the Prime Time Slam. Billy Jack Haynes & Coast 2 Coast (John Tatum & Jack Victory) vs. Buddy Rose & The Sin City Superstars (Scotty The Body & Mark Starr) The Playboy Club came out seeming to be taking this match lightly, primping and preening themselves before the match, with Scotty ostentatiously adjusting his hair with a can of hairspray. Haynes and Coast 2 Coast were all business in taking it to the Club. It looked like Victory would finish off Scotty with the Victory Plex when Starr used the can of hairspray to spray something into Victory's eyes. With Victory unable to see, Scotty executed a Russian Legsweep to steal the victory for the Club. The Sin City Superstars have certainly been learning well under the tutelage of the Playboy. Pacific Television Title Dog Collar Match : Bret Hart © vs. Buzz Sawyer Hoo boy. This was a bloody , brutal brawl that left both men busted open and exhausted. Hart was able to wrap the chain around Sawyer's neck and hit a running bulldog headlock to finally get the victory over the Mad Dog.

Pacific Wrestling Showcase from the Olympic Auditorium , Los Angeles , on ESPN / TSN, March 24th The Golden Guns (Jerry Lynn & Biff Wellington) vs. Dan Barry & Bobby Mason Last week, the new model Golden Guns made their debut and impressed many but still came out on the short end. This week, they continued to show their determination as they took on Barry and Mason. Wellington showed poise and confidence as he guided the team, and Lynn proved why he is one of the hottest young talents in PCW. Wellington dropkicked Mason out of the ring while Lynn hit a package piledriver on Barry to get a win to help the new Golden Guns established. John Tatum vs. Mark Starr Coast 2 Coast have had a very strong run as Pacific Tag Team Champions, seeing off a host of challengers. But Buddy Rose has been lobbying hard to get his Playboy Club cronies the Sin City Superstars a title shot. John Tatum was facing the newest member of the Superstars in a singles match, and, while Rose was at ringside to cheer Starr on, the ref let it be known that he would be keeping a close eye on the Playboy in case of any shenanigans. While the Superstars up to this point had relied upon a lot of razzle dazzle and misdirection, Starr brought a strong technical edge to this match, and Tatum had to fight back hard to wear him down. It looked like Tatum might pull it out when he went for a Superkick, but Starr dodged it and snuck in a nasty low blow kick just out of sight of the ref. He followed up with a vicious legsweep to take him down and trap him in an ankle lock until Tatum was forced to tap out. Rose was looking like a proud papa as he led Starr from the ring, and Coast 2 Coast are going to have to start taking the Sin City Superstars seriously as contenders. Brian Christopher vs. Bob Holly Ever since the start of his career, Brian Christopher has had faith in himself, but ever since Jim Cornette took him under his wing, his confidence has gone to the next level. This was on display in his match with a similarly brash newcomer, Bob Holly. Christopher and Holly had a furious match where Christopher was able to put Holly away with the Chris Cross (full nelson facebuster). Jim Cornette knows potential when he sees it, and he is going to do everything he can to guide young Christopher to the top. Tony St. Clair vs. Jim Neidhart Seemingly out of nowhere, one of the hottest feuds in PCW has erupted between the Anvil and Tough Tony. This was certainly hard for the ref to control, with neither man holding back to take the other one now. Things went from bad to worse when a wild elbow from Neidhart gave St. Clair a bloody nose. This infuriated St. Clair to the extend that he just started unloading on Neidhart with brutal forearm shots, to which the Anvil responded in kind. The ref tried to interpose himself between the two, only to be shoved hard to the mat for his efforts. He called for the double DQ but that didn't stop the pair from laying into each other, and it took a full complement of PCW security . Just what will it take to settle the feud between these two? The Force Of July (The Patriot & The Eagle) vs. Nick Stanbury & Austin Carty The masked duo of the Patriot and the Eagle have rapidly become big favorites of the fans of Pacific Coast Wrestling. With their colourful gear and high impact style, they have rocketed up the rankings in the highly competitive Tag Team division. Stansbury and Carty proved to be no obstacle to the team, with the Eagle easily pinning Stanbury with a German Suplex. It shouldn't be long now before the Championship Committee take notice of the Force Of July. Curt Hennig, Lou Perez & Dustin Rhodes vs. Bob Backlund & The Suicide Blondes (Chris Candido & Louie Spiccoli) Last week in San Francisco, Mr. Bob Backlund went the distance with Pacific Heavyweight Champion Curt Hennig, and tonight he seemed to be angling for a rematch. We went at it with all of the members of the Brigade, but seemed to be trying to make an example of Lou Perez. He battered and stretched the Ladies Man until he forced him to tap out to the Cross Face Chicken Wing. Looks like he has staked his claim at another shot at the title.

Fair point. I face a couple of challenges with my current roster : 1) I have a fairly young and new roster that I am working to get over so am giving them a lot of spaces on the shows to get experience, 2) the traditional focus of the Pacific territory was "Playboy" Buddy Rose. While Rose is one of my favorite wrestlers, at this point in his career he is physically on the decline towards the Blowaway Diet Buddy Rose, and I have to work around that and find ways to keep him relevant. That said, I do think I have some consistent threads to keep the fizz going in the territory, such as the tag division or Light Heavyweight Title matches.

Jim Mitchell (manager)

Barely a week in and IPW is making its name as a promotion to watch. Bill Ash is rapidly becoming one of the most hatable heels in the project.

Pacific Coast Wrestling show from the Selland Arena, Fresno, March 19th Robbie Brookside vs. Jim Neidhart Neidhart overpowered young Brookside and pinned him following a running powerslam The Lethal Weapons (Steve Blackman & Al Snow) vs. Joe & Dean Malenko Another heated tag team battle between these two duos where Snow was able to pin Dean with the Snow Bomb Brian Christopher vs. Chris Candido Jim Cornette's young charge managed something of an upset when he was able to defeat the former Light Heavyweight champion Candido with the Chris Cross (full nelson face slam) The Southern Boys vs. Art Barr & Eddie Guerrero A long and intense match that went to the Wild Things that ended when Barr blindsided Armstrong to set him up for a swinging neckbreaker from Guerrero California Title Match : Scott Hall © vs. Maxx Payne Hall came in with his leg still bandaged from last week and Payne did everything he could to target it. Hall was able to gut it out and bring the big man down with a running Bulldog headlock Bret & Owen Hart vs. Timothy Flowers & Buzz Sawyer The hatred ran deep in this match and it was all the ref could do to try to maintain some semblance of order. Buzz took advantage of a ref distraction to clobber Bret in the back of the head, allowing Flowers to hit the Piledriver and score the pinfall.

Pacific Coast Wrestling show from the Cow Palace , San Francisco, on Pacific Super Cards on ESPN / TSN, March 18th Steven Regal vs. Angel Acevedo Young Regal pulled out an impressive win over the veteran Acevedo with the Regal Roll Lou Perez vs. Buddy Rose Perez put in a game effort but a wild elbow caught him in the eye to set him up for the Inside Out Backbreaker to give the win to the Playboy Billy Jack Haynes vs. Curtis Hughes Fresh off his grueling battle with Bret Hart, Hughes went to the limit with Billy Jack before going down to a flying shoulder tackle Pierre Carl Ouellet vs. Bull Pain A ferocious battle between two double tough competitors where Bull Pain was ultimately able to hit the Hangman's Drop (two handed chokeslam) for the win Pacific Tag Team Title Match : Coast 2 Coast (John Tatum & Jack Victory) © vs. Bob & Crash Holly The Holly Cousins gave the champions all they could handle in a fast paced tag match but the champions prevailed with Tatum hitting a Superkick on Crash Pacific Heavyweight Title Match : Curt Hennig © vs. Bob Backlund The former World, California and Submission champion gave Hennig one of the toughest battles of his championship reign , going to a 30 minute time limit draw

Pacific Wrestling Showcase from the Oakland Alameda County Arena, Oakland, on ESPN / TSN, March 17th The Golden Guns (Jerry Lynn & Biff Wellington) vs. The Sin City Superstars (Scotty The Body & Mark Starr) The PCW tag division is at its most dynamic, and that is reflected in the new looks of two of the up and coming tag teams. The new look Golden Guns featured the return of Biff Wellington, who had not been seen in PCW in 2 years. Meanwhile, the Sin City Superstars brought in young British wrestler Mark Starr to join Scotty The Body. Both teams were clearly looking to up their game and move further up the ranks, with Wellington meshing well with Lynn on several double team moves, while Starr brought additional technical polish to the Superstars' attack. It was Starr who was able to score the pinfall on Lynn with the Starrburst Suplex (slingshot suplex) but both teams had to work hard for it. Tony St. Clair vs. Angel Acevedo While "Tough" Tony St. Clair clearly has his mind on Jim Neidhart, he certainly had enough to keep himself busy with the Cuban Assassin. Acevedo gave as good as he got in every exchange with St. Clair, deftly ducking the spinning forearm smash and very nearly catching him in the DDT. St. Clair dug in and was able to wear down Acevedo enough to hit the Floating Butterfly Suplex. It took a lot out of him, but St. Clair came out on top. The Hollywood Vampires (The Vampire Warrior & Makhan Singh) vs. Jim Lynch & Blake Towsley Another team sporting a new look is Paul Bearer's duo of the Vampire Warriors, now bolstered by "The Monster" Makhan Singh. The big Monster had an immediate impact, bowling over both Lynch and Towsley while Bearer and Vampire Warrior laughed maniacally . He eventually crushed Lynch with the Monster Mash (front slam) for an incredibly dominant win. The Neighborhood of Evil have gotten even scarier, and that has to be bad news for PCW. Owen Hart & Pierre Carl Ouellet vs. The Suicide Blondes (Chris Candido & Louie Spiccoli) The youngest Hart brother and the tough as nails French Canadian have formed an unusual but solid friendship. They proved that they meshed well in spite of their seeming differences, with Hart's scientific prowess being balanced by PCO's rough and tumble brawling. Ouellet put Spiccoli down for the count with a package piledriver as Owen held off Candido. Cactus Jack and Cyrus The Virus may well come to regret being responsible for forging this impressive duo for their opposition. Muscle Beach (Rod Price & Tommy Cairo) vs. Brian Corridan & Brandon Bellinger With all the intense competition in the PCW tag team division, the latest duo to join the ranks were certainly something else. Coming to the ring to the sounds of David Lee Roth's version of "California Girls" , Price and Cairo flexed and posed in the ring with an overwhelming air of smugness. This annoyed most of the fans, but they did get the attention of a fair number of the young female fans. The two muscular stars swiftly overwhelmed Corridan and Bellinger, tossing them about with power moves before finishing them off with the Beach Break (stuff Power Bomb). They then went back to flexing and posing until "California Girls" was cut off and replaced with "Smooth Operator". This, of course, is the cue for the entrance of "Playboy" Buddy Rose, accompanied by Scotty The Body and Mark Starr. Rose : Gentlemen, gentlemen, gentlemen! This is your lucky day! (Scotty and Starr are mouthing the words behind him, then silently snickering behind his back) The Harris Boys , well, they just weren't really Playboy Club material. Lacking in sophistication. But you men are clearly cut from a different bolt of cloth. You know how to take care of yourselves, and more importantly, you know how to take care of business. A place in the Playboy Club is all yours for the taking! Price and Cairo look at each other, shrug, then nod to Rose, joining him and the Sin City Superstars as they leave the ring. Pacific Television Title Match : Bret Hart © vs. Curtis Hughes Bret Hart has been making a name for himself as a fighting champion, ducking no one in his title defenses. He was facing a considerable test of his abilities with the Big Cat. Hughes was clearly out to make the most of his title shots, delivering some heavy blows as he went all out against the champ. Hart fired back in kind, but found it tough to bring down Mr. Hughes. Little by little, he was able to chip away at the Big Cat, eventually bringing him down with a second rope Bulldog and just barely holding his shoulders down for the three count. Hart had pulled out his most impressive title defense yet.

Going to make a bit of a shift of plans, dropping Chaz Taylor for Biff Wellington.

Dr. Luther and Perry Saturn as well.

Eric Sbraccia

Sandman debuted in 1989 (along with his valet Peaches who is already on the list), as did Dr. Luther. What was the final ruling on John Kronus? He was up for discussion last year, but his matches were very regional and I seem to recall we were going to put him off until this year.

I have Bobby Walker as making his debut in 1989.

Going to make some changes at the same time as filling the new spaces in the ranks. Will drop Ron and Don Harris, and add Rod Price, Tommy Cairo, Mark Starr, Chaz Taylor and Mike Shaw. I also saw that Jamie Dundee is on the International roster, but is still listed as a Free Agent.

Can't wait to see what International Pro brings us.

Pacific Coast Wrestling show from McArthur Court, Eugene, March 12th The Force Of July (The Patriot & The Eagle) vs. The Hollywood Vampires (The Vampire Warrior & Jimmie Lee) The popular masked team got their biggest victory yet when the Patriot hit the Uncle Slam on the Vampire Warrior Steve Blackman vs. Gary Albright Despite Blackman's best efforts, the Animal overwhelmed him, forcing him to tap out to the Dragon Sleeper Owen Hart & Pierre Carl Ouellet vs. Bob & Crash Holly The newly formed friendship of Owen and PCO had an exciting match with the Hollys, with the momentum swinging back and forth until Owen defeated Bob with a Moonsault Al Snow vs. "Diamond" Timothy Flowers Snow proved to be quite a handful for the leader of the Diamond Exchange, enough so that Flowers had to hit a low blow from behind to set him up for a Piledriver, stealing the win from the beloved member of the Army Pacific Light Heavyweight Title Match : Brian Pillman © vs. The Cheetah Kid These two had a gripping Light Heavyweight Title bout that went to a 20 minute time limit draw Tony St. Clair & British Steel (Steven Regal & Robbie Brookside) vs. Jim Neidhart & The Suicide Blondes (Louie Spicolli & Chris Candido) St. Clair and Neidhart went at it with a white hot fury, with the other members of their teams trying to keep the match under control. St. Clair wound up knocking out Spicolli with the Spinning Forearm Smash, but you could tell he was wanting another crack at the Anvil

Pacific Coast Wrestling show from the Portland Memorial Coliseum , Portland , on Pacific Super Cards on ESPN / TSN, March 11th Brian Christopher vs. Mike Enos Christopher put up a spirited fight, but Enos was able to defeat him with the Whirlybird (Spinning Crucifix Toss) Scott Armstrong vs. Joe Malenko A tightly contested bout that Armstrong wound up taking with a top rope flying clothesline Scott Hall , Dustin Rhodes & Lou Perez vs. Buddy Rose & The Sin City Superstars (Scotty The Body & Reno Riggins) Hall came out with his knee bandaged, which proved a target for the Playboy Club. Hall was hit once again with a clip from behind, this time by Scotty The Body, and that left him open for a running splash by Rose to give the win to the Playboy Club 2/3 Falls Pacific Television Title : Bret Hart © vs. Bull Pain 1st Fall : Pain pinned Hart following the Hangman's Drop (two handed chokeslam) 2nd Fall : Hart pinned Pain with a Crucifix 3rd Fall : Hart managed to score the three count with a Victory Roll Winner : Bret Hart Curt Hennig & Brian Lee vs. The Undertaker & Barry Windham As one could imagine, this was a wild bout, with the Brigade having a ferocious battle with the Neighborhood Of Evil. Windham was able to pull out the win for the NOE by putting Lee down with a Western Lariat

Pacific Wrestling Showcase from the Portland Sports Arena, Portland , on ESPN / TSN,March 10th Doug Furnas vs. Bob Backlund In the past few months, Bob Backlund has gone from having dual titles to having no titles, and you can tell that it rankles him. He may still command the loyalty of the Knights Templar, but you can tell he was looking to prove he still had it. He certainly picked a tough opponent to prove himself against. The big young Oklahoman was equally determined to show that he was not to be overlooked, and the two fought each other to a stalemate in several tests of strength. Backlund actually seemed at a bit of a loss as to what to do with Doug Furnas, but veteran instinct wound up being the deciding factor as he dodged out of an attempt at a shoulder tackle in the corner, then capitalized with the Backlund Bridge. He was just barely able to hold Furnas' powerful shoulders for the three count. A big win for Backlund, but he had to work hard for it. Vic Steamboat vs. Wayne Bloom The war between James E. Cornette and Ronnie P. Gossett rolls on as the Demon did battle with one half of the Destruction Crew. Initially, both men had the rest of their respective stables at ringside, but the ref took a hard line and ordered everyone but the managers back to the locker room. Bloom did what he could to overpower Steamboat, but Vic fought back with intensity, lacing into Bloom's chest with chops that left livid red welts. Steamboat was able to come off the top with a Flying Cross Bodypress to get the win. A big victory for Steamboat and Cornette's Crew, but you can bet that Gossett is not going to let this go unanswered. Cactus Jack & Cyrus The Virus vs. James Miller & Ibrehem Rahman While the go-to duo for the Wild Things has been Art Barr and Eddie Guerrero, Cactus Jack has taken Cyrus The Virus under his wing (under his quills?), becoming a full time bad influence for the already deranged young star. The two lived up to their collective name and went wild on their opponents, battering them from pillar to post until Cyrus pinned Miller following a Frog Splash. The tag ranks may well have gotten even scarier. Tracy Smothers vs. Dean Malenko While both of these young stars are known for their tag team matches, they proved more than capable as singles wrestlers in this tense match. While they have considerable technical ability, this match got heated at a number of points, with both men hitting the hardest shots they could at each other. Neither of them wanted to be the one to knuckle under, and it took a big brainbuster from Malenko to finally put down Smothers. California Title Match : Scott Hall © vs. Scotty The Body Last week, Scott Hall held off a challenge from "Playboy" Buddy Rose to retain his California Title. Tonight, he would face another of the Playboy Club in one half of the Sin City Superstars. Buddy Rose was at ringside to guide his young charge, but the ref gave him strict orders for him to keep to himself. In this battle of the Scotts, it was hard for the newcomer to make a dent in the big champ. Nothing he did had any impact, and Hall tossed the younger man around like he was a rag doll. It was not Rose but Scotty's Sin City partner Reno Riggins who was the one who interfered, clipping Hall's knee from behind right in front of the ref. The ref immediately called for the DQ, but the Playboy Club didn't seem to care, attacking Hall's damaged knee until Dustin Rhodes and Lou Perez ran out and the Club retreated to the locker room. This could spell bad news for the California champ.
