I was realizing I had a few dream match ups I had to cram in the last stretch before Bock retires

BaddCo and the Nasties is a match I would have loved to have seen.

Glad to see my boy Young Steamboat win himself 15 Grand, hope he doesn't spend it all in one place. The Armstrongs are triumphant but I don't see this ending any time soon.

Pacific Coast Wrestling Show from the UCSB Event Center, Santa Barbara, October 23rd Fit Finlay vs. Mr. Hito A hard hitting match between two seasoned competitors that Finlay took with a Tombstone Piledriver. John Tatum vs. Jim Neidhart These two had a furious battle where Tatum was able to escape attempts at the Camel Clutch and the Anvilizer, but the Anvil was still able to hit a running powerslam to get the pinfall. British Steel (Steven Regal & Robbie Brookside) & Black Tiger vs. Art Barr, Eddie Guerrero & Sabu These two teams had an absolute barn burner of a match, which ended when Tiger ducked a spinning back heel kick from Sabu coming off the ropes, then followed up with the Black Tiger Bomb to score the victory. Shane Douglas vs. Maxx Payne Big Maxx Payne dominated young Shane Douglas and forced him to tap out to the Payne Killer Doug Furnas vs. Rick Gantner A power battle between another two rising young stars of PCW, where Furnas was finally able to put down the young Bull with a flying shoulder tackle. Pacific Television Title Match : Ed Gantner © vs. Jack Victory The big Bull seemed caught off guard by how much of a battle the New Jersey native gave them, and the two were still battling when the bell rang for a 30 minute time limit draw. Gantner seemed noticeably drained following the match.

Pacific Coast Wrestling show from the LA Sports Arena, Los Angeles, on Pacific Super Cards on ESPN / TSN, October 22nd Hector Guerrero vs. Curtis Hughes Curtis "The Cat" Hughes gave a mauling to Hector Guerrero, polishing him off with the Cat's Claw (modified side slam onto the knee). Curt Hennig & Barry Windham vs. Angel Of Death & Teijo Khan The two men of the Brigade had a titanic battle with the Playboy Club, with Windham taking much of the action and finally putting Khan down following a running Bulldog Headlock. The Southern Boys vs. The Midnight Express Another classic tag match between these two teams that ended when Lane ambushed Smothers with a Savate kick to the back of the head, setting him up for a swinging neckbreaker from Eaton to give the win to the Midnights Billy Jack Haynes vs. Cactus Jack Haynes seemed unsure of what to do with the wild and crazy Cactus, and once he started to assume control of the match, Cactus countered with a clothesline to the ref. When the ref recovered, he gave the match to Billy Jack by DQ, but that didn't stop Cactus from going after him, and the two kept slugging it out until ordered to disperse under threat of a fine. Dan Severn, Jeff Jarrett & Super Strong Machine vs. The Bomb Squad (Chris Candido & Al Snow) & Bob Backlund The Bomb Squad did their best, but Backlund seemed upset and distracted by the previous night's events, and Machine capitalized with a Devil Windmill Suplex to get the shocking pinfall. Pacific Heavyweight Title Match : Nick Bockwinkel © vs. Owen Hart Bockwinkel defended his title against one of the fastest rising talents in PCW, with Owen giving him a considerable challenge. Bock tried to finish him off with a belly to back suplex, but Owen flipped over his back and caught him with a rollup. Bockwinkel grabbed a fistful of tights and countered with his own rollup to escape with his title.

Pacific Wrestling Showcase from the Olympic Auditorium , Los Angeles , on ESPN / TSN, October 21st Sid Vicious vs. Joel Anderson Sid Vicious has been on a rampage lately, bullying and brutalizing his opponents in some extremely one sided matches. He kept up that trend as he hurled Anderson around like a ragdoll, pulverizing him with big power moves and then finishing off the job with a pair of Power Bombs. After the match, Vicious picked up Anderson and tossed him hard out of the ring. Even that wasn't enough for the sadistic West Memphis monster, as he waited for the medics to try to take Anderson out of the arena then shoved all of them aside on his way to the locker room. Something has to be done about this lunatic. Dan Severn vs. Al Snow Recently, Severn and his partner Jeff Jarrett have been giving considerable challenge to the Bomb Squad for the Pacific Tag Team Titles. Severn would face off with one half of the champs in Al Snow, and the two wound up engaging in the proverbial game of human chess. The two wound up matching each other hold for hold, with Severn's keen instincts allowing him to shut down Snow's big moves while Snow's considerable skill got him out of Severn's attempts at submission holds. The two were still going at it when the bell rang, signaling a 15 minute time limit draw. The two men shook hands in respect after the match, but I doubt this will be the last we see of these two battling each other. Leo Burke, Todd Morton & Black Gold (Steve Blackman & Shane Douglas) vs. The Diamond Exchange ("Diamond" Timothy Flowers, "The Cuban Assassin" Angel Acevedo, Buzz Sawyer & Hack Sawyer) After Todd Morton got a surprising win over Angel Acevedo a few weeks ago, the Diamond Exchange have had it out for the young star. After they ambushed him with a spike piledriver on the concrete last week, he was wearing a protective collar to protect his hurt neck. This unfortunately provided a tempting target for the Diamond Exchange, and in a hot tempered and nasty battle, they went after it every chance they got. But this reached a terrible peak when Flowers dragged Morton out of the ring and, while the Exchange held off the rest of the Army, gave him a piledriver through the ringside table. Morton was not moving afterwards and the ref had no choice but to count him out as his friends swarmed over to protect them. This is without a doubt the most dastardly thing the Diamond Exchange have ever done, and you can bet that the Army will do everything they can to make them pay. Tracy Smothers vs. Stan Lane With the Southern Boys and the Midnight Express having several exciting matches lately, so there was a lot of interest in this singles match between Smothers and Lane. With Lane being the Man with the educated feet, and Smothers having considerable skills in that department as well, the two certainly had a hard hitting martial arts duel, with many Savate and Karate kicks finding their mark. But it was a spinning elbow smash coming off the ropes that got Smothers the pinfall over Lane. A hard fought win that went over well with the fans. Chavo Guerrero vs. One Man Gang While Chavo certainly has no shortage of skill or toughness, in this match he was simply overwhelmed by the big 747. Gang overpowered him and hurled him about the ring before hitting a front layout suplex for the win. A convincing victory, but things certainly won't be as easy for the One Man Gang once Barry Windham catches up with him. Bret Hart, Owen Hart & Brian Pillman vs. Gary Young, Jim Neidhart & Bob Backlund There has been a lot of trouble and strife in the camp of the Knights Templar, and it was a considerable risk for Mr. Bob Backlund to put his two problem children in the same match as him. They kept it together for most of the match, having a tightly contested bout with Pillman and the Hart Brothers. But things swiftly broke down when all 6 men started battling in the ring at once. Neidhart looked like he would take the match when he was about to get his former partner Bret Hart in the dreaded Anvilizer. But then Owen ducked under a clothesline from Young, and Young knocked Neidhart down instead. Neidhart got to his feet and engaged in a shoving match with Young, but Bret caught Neidhart in a rollup and Owen held off Young long enough for Bret to get the three count. After the match, Young and Neidhart started full on slugging it out, until Backlund bellowed, "ENOUGH!", and dragged them both back to the locker room by the scruff of the neck.

Pacific Coast Wrestling show from the Selland Arena, Fresno, October 16th Jeff Jarrett vs. Jim Neidhart Fresno native Neidhart was able to overpower Jarrett and force him to tap out to the Camel Clutch Steve Blackman vs. Eddie Guerrero The feud between Black Gold and the Wild Things continued, with Blackman catching Eddie coming off the ropes with a spin kick to the head to score the victory Curt Hennig vs. The Angel Of Death Angel Of Death gave a ferocious battle to Hennig, but Hennig would not be denied, pinning him after a top rope missile dropkick Hector Guerrero vs. Akira Maeda Maeda battered Hector before forcing him to tap out to an elevated Boston Crab Leo Burke & British Steel (Steven Regal & Robbie Brookside) vs. Angel Acevedo, Buzz Sawyer & Hack Sawyer While Burke and Acevedo were constantly going after each other, with Burke looking to avenge Todd Morton, it was Brookside who pulled out the win by pinning Hack Sawyer with a Sunset Flip California & Submission Title Match : Bob Backlund © vs. Doug Furnas While Backlund is known as one of the strongest men in PCW, even his considerable power was put to the limit by the incredible force of Furnas. He was eventually able to wear him down enough to trap him in the Backlund Bridge, but it was a very close escape for the champion.

Pacific Coast Wrestling show from the Cow Palace , San Francisco, on Pacific Super Cards on ESPN / TSN, October 15th Black Gold (Steve Blackman & Shane Douglas) vs. "Diamond" Timothy Flowers & Angel Acevedo Black Gold put in a good effort, but the roughhousing of the Diamond Exchange was too much to overcome, with Acevedo pinning Douglas following a DDT. Dingo Warrior vs. Big Bubba Rogers Jim Cornette tried to interfere in the match, but Dingo caught him at it. Dingo Warrior then chased Cornette around the ring until he was counted out, giving the win to Big Bubba. Bret Hart vs. Rick Gantner This wound up being a ferocious battle, where Bret was finally able to wear down Gantner enough to get him to tap out to the Sharpshooter Texas Red & Tony St. Clair vs. Sid Vicious & Maxx Payne Red and St. Clair won by DQ when Big Bubba Rogers charged into the ring and attacked Texas Red. Vicious and Payne held off St. Clair while Bubba continued his assault. Strangely, Paul Bearer kept screaming , "GET UP! GET UP!" at Red while Big Bubba beat him down. Eventually, Bret Hart, Dan Severn and Jeff Jarrett ran out to run off Bubba. Texas Red was giving Paul Bearer a dirty look as he left the ring. Black Tiger vs. Owen Hart This was an exciting technical bout that went to Owen when he hit a Moonsault on Black Tiger. Pacific Tag Team Title Match : The Bomb Squad (Chris Candido & Al Snow) © vs. Dan Severn & Jeff Jarrett An intense tag team title bout that ended when Candido pinned Jarrett following a flying legdrop. Pacific Heavyweight Title Match : Nick Bockwinkel © vs. Buddy Rose Bockwinkel has had many tough defenses in his time as champion, but this would be his first time defending against the self proclaimed King Of Portland. As could be expected, this was a Masterclass in dirty tricks, with both men dueling each other to see who could sink lower in villainous tactics. After a long and tense battle, Bockwinkel was able to dodge out of the way of an attempt by Rose at a running elbow smash in the corner, then followed up with a rollup assisted by a fistful of trunks to get the one two three.

Pacific Wrestling Showcase from the Oakland Alameda County Arena, Oakland, on ESPN / TSN, October 14th Leo Burke & Todd Morton vs. Joe & Dean Malenko Young Todd Morton's quest to establish himself has gotten the support of the fans behind him with some impressive performances. He certainly had his work cut out for him against the Malenko Brothers. He gave a very good accounting of himself, but eventually their superior experience and considerable skill caught up with him, and he had to tag out to his mentor, Leo Burke. Soon after was when the Diamond Exchange struck. Timothy Flowers and Angel Acevedo snuck down to ringside, pulled Morton off the ring apron, and ambushed him with a spike piledriver on the floor. When he saw Flowers and Acevedo rushing away from the ring, Burke was distracted enough that he was easy prey for a German Suplex from Joe Malenko, which gave the win to the brothers. Steve Blackman and Shane Douglas rushed out, but the damage had already been done, and all they could do was help their comrades away from the ring. Tony St. Clair vs. Maxx Payne Last week, St. Clair lost a hard fought match against big Maxx Payne. In tonight's rematch, "Tough" Tony was determined to not let history repeat itself and went at it fist and fire with Paul Bearer's man. This was a down and dirty brawl that eventually spilled to the outside. St. Clair was the first back into the ring, and while Payne was able to make it back onto the ring apron, a spinning forearm smash from St. Clair sent him tumbling back to the floor. St. Clair won this round by countout, but I don't think this is over by a long chalk. Shane Douglas vs. Art Barr Although there has long been a rivalry since their split from the Army, but the Wild Things have been having more and more intense matches with Black Gold, getting some impressive wins . In this match, Barr squared off with his former colleague, with both men giving it their all and trying to prove to be superior. It seemed like Douglas was tipping the balance in his favour when Barr caught him flat footed with a spectacular dropkick. He then dashed up to the top rope and came off with a Frog Splash that got the one two three. At this point, there can be no doubt that the Wild Things are the real deal. Super Strong Machine vs. Gary Young Gary Young has been struggling lately in his efforts to reassert his position in the Knights Templar. It certainly didn't help that he was facing the tough Japanese veteran Super Strong Machine. Young certainly gave it his best shot, doing everything he could get out of any attempted submission holds and getting in some shots of his own. He managed to get Machine set up for the DDT, but Machine busted out of it with a hard knee to the midsection followed by a backdrop. The masked man then hit a crushing series of suplexes, capped off with the Devil Windmill Suplex for the win. Better luck next time, Gary. Barry Windham vs. Teijo Khan Barry Windham has had a very up and down year, coming in as Pacific Heavyweight Champion but losing the title to Nick Bockwinkel and being embroiled in a lengthy feud with the One Man Gang. Windham has been through some serious wars, but has shown his determination to keep his head up and fight his way back to major title contention. Teijo Khan was certainly a tough test of the second generation star, and the two big stallions knocked each other around the ring in a jarring heavyweight bout. But Windham showed his resilience, weathering out Khan's offense and then hitting a big Western Lariat to pull out the victory. Barry Windham isn't going to stop until he gets back to the top.

Is Fidel Sierra/David Sierra currently on anybody's roster? He would have been active in this time.

Wow, Tommy Rich is a major Bombshell! Can't wait to see what kinds of chaos he and Billy Joe raise.

Pacific Coast Wrestling show from McArthur Court, Eugene, October 9th Black Tiger vs. Todd Morton Morton was still showing some damage from the attack from the Diamond Exchange a couple of nights before, but still gave a game effort in a very competitive match that ultimately went to Black Tiger who pinned Morton with a Schoolboy Rollup. Tony St. Clair vs. Maxx Payne "Tough" Tony put up a courageous battle against Payne, but wound up being overpowered and pinned following a belly to belly suplex. Barry Windham vs. Gary Young Windham dominated Young, who seemed to be showing a loss of confidence, and got the win with a Superplex. Jeff Jarrett vs. "The Cuban Assassin" Angel Acevedo These two had a very intense match where the Cuban Assassin ultimately prevailed with the DDT. Golden State Tag Team Title Match : British Steel (Steven Regal & Robbie Brookside) © vs. The Midnight Express Jim Cornette tried to tip the tide in his men's favor by tossing in his tennis racquet. But Texas Red limped out to ringside, still bruised from the night before, and grabbed it from him. Big Bubba Rogers then came to his manager's aid, and he and Red stared each other down while Cornette stood terrified between them. While all of this was going on, British Steel hit the Lawbreaker (double slingshot belly to back suplex) on Eaton and get the win. California & Submission Title Match : Bob Backlund © vs. Ron Simmons The young powerhouse Simmons gave Backlund a lot to handle, it Backlund seemed at a loss to figure out who to corral the All American. Simmons was even able to use his incredible strength to power out of an attempted Backlund Bridge. Simmons tried to finish Backlund off with the running Spear, but Backlund dodged out of the way at the last second, and Simmons went flying out of the ring. The fall stunned Simmons enough that he was not able to make it back into the ring, and Backlund won by countout.

Pacific Coast Wrestling show from the Portland Memorial Coliseum , Portland , on Pacific Super Cards on ESPN / TSN, October 8th Fit Finlay, Pierre Carl Ouellet & Cannonball Grizzly vs. Buddy Rose, Teijo Khan & The Angel Of Death When the match broke down with all 6 men brawling, Cactus Jack snuck in the ring and hit the Cactus Needle (double underhook DDT) on Ouellet. Khan swiftly hit a running kneedrop on Ouellet and got the win for the Playboy Club. Curt Hennig vs. Jim Neidhart The big Anvil gave a real battering to Hennig and even blocked and broke out an attempted Cradle Suplex. Hennig was able to rally and pinned Neidhart after a top rope missile dropkick. Leo Burke & Black Gold (Steve Blackman & Shane Douglas) vs. Cactus Jack, Art Barr & Eddie Guerrero While the ref was distracted, Pierre Carl Ouellet snuck in the ring and levelled Cactus with a clothesline. When Cactus got to his feet, he was met with a running bicycle kick by Blackman and the Army scored the victory. Texas Red vs. Big Bubba Rogers Red won by DQ when Rogers hit him with Jim Cornette's tennis racquet. Bubba did a real number on him after the match with the racquet until security rushed out to separate the two. The Southern Boys vs. Joe & Dean Malenko These two teams went at it in a long tag team war that had the fans thrilled throughout. There were points during the match where it looked like it go either way, but Smothers was able to hit the Jawjacker on Joe to ultimately give the decision to the Southern Boys. 2/3 Falls Pacific Television Title Match : Ed Gantner © vs. Bret Hart Gantner, still smarting from his loss the day before, ambushed Hart before the opening bell and immediately hit the Bull Hammer (running forearm smash to the face), swiftly getting the first pinfall. Gantner continued to attack Hart, and it didn't look good for the Calgary native. But the Hitman gradually fought back and rallied to trap him in a Victory Roll to even up the match at one fall a piece. The two warriors then kicked it into top gear, going all out to become the ultimate victor. It looked like Hart just might become the new champ when he attempted another Crucifix on Gantner. But the big Bull stood his ground and countered with a Samoan Drop that took the wind out of Hart's sails, scoring the final pinfall and successfully defending his title.

Pacific Wrestling Showcase from the Portland Sports Arena, Portland , on ESPN / TSN, October 7th Todd Morton vs. "Diamond" Timothy Flowers Last week, young Todd Morton scored a major upset over the Cuban Assassin, Angel Acevedo. This week, Acevedo's Diamond Exchange partner "Diamond" Timothy Flowers set out to even the score. Morton's mentor Leo Burke was cheering him on from his corner, while Flowers was accompanied by Acevedo, who gave Morton the evil eye throughout the match. It was an uphill struggle for Morton, who was outmatched by Flowers in both power and experience, but acquitted himself well, coming close on several occasions to getting a surprise pinfall. Flowers kept up his assault on Morton and had him set up for a piledriver. But once again, Morton was able to block and counter with a small package. Could he pull off a come from behind upset two weeks in a row? One … Two … NO! Acevedo charged into the ring and broke up the pin with an elbow smash. The ref called for the DQ while the two double teamed Morton until Burke came to his young charge's rescue, at which point the Diamond Exchange bailed from the ring. Morton may have earned the support of the fans and the Army, but he has made some powerful enemies in the Diamond Exchange. Texas Red vs. Teijo Khan Once again, Texas Red found himself facing one of the big bruisers of the Playboy Club. Like Red's previous match with the Angel Of Death, Paul Bearer showed up at ringside to observe the big Texan. Khan ambushed Red before the match could start with a clotheline from behind and continued to use every dirty trick he could against him. It took a lot of effort to overcome this, but Red was able to put him down with a choke slam. After the match, Red demanded the ring side microphone and got in the face of Paul Bearer. Red : That's two weeks ago that you have showed up unasked for my matches, pale boy! What is your deal, sticking your nose into my business? Bearer : Because I am the only one who give you the guidance you need! There is a darkness inside you, and you need to acknowledge it and tap into it if you are ever to truly succeed. You see how much trouble you had with Teijo Khan? If you knew to embrace the darkness, you would have dispatched him with ease. Let me show you the way! Red : Is that so, fat man? Well the day I let a creep like you lead me, it will be a cold day in hell! Red stalks back to the locker room, but Bearer has an evil grin on his face as he watches him. Sid Vicious vs. Mikey Bortone Bearer was back out soon after, accompanying his man Sid Vicious to the ring. Vicious certainly doesn't have any problem embracing his dark side, rampaging over poor Bortone like he was owed money. Vicious put the hapless Bortone away with not one, not two, but three power bombs, and the rookie was left looking like a bug that hit a windshield. But that was not enough for Vicious, who kept hitting legdrops on Bortone after the end of the match. This prompted Ron Simmons to rush out to rescue the rookie. Vicious wanted to throw down with Simmons, but Bearer ordered him to leave with him. Doug Furnas vs. Chavo Guerrero After his surprising reappearance in PCW last week, there has been much discussion among the fans as to what Doug Furnas' plans would be. There was increased buzz in the crowd as Gary Hart and the rest of the Pride showed up at ringside during his match. Furnas paid them no mind and worked hard to overcome the considerable skill of Chavo, taking him down with the Volunteer Slam (running Canadian backbreaker into the corner followed by a slam to the mat). After the match, Gary Hart and his men entered the ring with a microphone to speak to Furnas. Hart : Dougie! My man! So good to see you again. You should have called. We were caught a bit off guard when you came back, we thought you had gone for good to Oklahoma. But don't worry about any of that, we can certainly make some space for you in the organization. Furnas : Oh, really? Very kind of you to offer me a seat at the end of the table. Well , I did go back to Oklahoma. I went to spend time with my family and think things over. You managed to sweet talk your way into taking over the Pride, and wasn't comfortable with that. The Pride had turned it's back on what it stood for by joining up with someone like you. Someone who would stab someone in the back as soon as look at them! (Hart starts to cloud up) And someone like this guy (gestures to Akira Maeda) who struts around like a big man just because he sucker shot a guy who was unable to defend himself. (Maeda glowers at him) So , no, I don't think I will be returning to the Pride. I am going to make it on my own. And if you have any brains at all, you will stay out of my way. Hart and the Pride look like they are going to attack, but Dan Severn, Jeff Jarrett, Leo Burke and Black Gold come out and stand at Furnas' side, ready to back him up. Hart summons his men and leave the ring. Furnas gave a quick glance to Severn and the rest, but left on his own. Leo Burke & Black Gold (Shane Douglas & Steve Blackman) vs. Art Barr, Eddie Guerrero & Sabu Ever since he left the Army, Art Barr and the other members of the Wild Things have had several matches with his former comrades. But coming back from their recent appearance in Japan, there seemed a difference in the Wild Things. Where they had been cocky before, there was now more of a smooth confidence to them. They had a new precision in their double team moves, and they tagged in and out and broke up pinfalls like they were telepathic. When Barr hit Douglas from behind with a Superkick to the back of the head, Eddie swiftly followed up with a Frog Splash for the victory. The Wild Things have been one of the most promising groups in PCW, but it looks like they are truly starting to unlock their potential. Bret Hart, Owen Hart & Brian Pillman vs. Curtis Hughes & The Wild Bulls (Ed & Rick Gantner) http://www.onlineworldofwrestling.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/Mr.jpghttp://www.onlineworldofwrestling.com/pictures/e/edgantner/02.jpg Ronnie P. Gossett's men had a distinct size advantage over Pillman and the Harts, and the TV champ Ed Gantner was especially dismissive. But the Hart Brothers were trained well in their father's notorious Dungeon, and Pillman was a former Cincinnati Bengal who had overcome much in his life and matched his partners in toughness and resiliency . They more than held their own and gave a ferocious fight to Hughes and the Wild Bulls. Ed Gantner thought he had things well in hand when he lined up Bret for a huge lariat. But Bret dodged it and countered with a crucifix that got Gantner's shoulders to the mat. One … two … THREE!!! Bret had just pinned the Television Champion ! The fans were jubilant while Gossett and his men were furious.

This War is going to be epic!

Woo hoo! Bradley takes the title! Although it had to be a bittersweet evening for him with the additional family strife.

Pacific Coast Wrestling/New Japan Pro Wrestling Co-Promotional Show from Korakuen Hall, Tokyo, Japan, October 5th Doug Furnas vs. Kazuo Yamazaki There has been a lot of buzz surrounding Doug Furnas ever since his recent return to PCW. His match with Yamazaki showed that he hasn't lost a step in his brief time away. He was able to escape all of Yamazaki's submission attempts and overpower the rising Japanese star before pinning him following the Volunteer Slam (running Canadian backbreaker into the corner followed by a slam to the mat). The Southern Boys vs. Art Barr & Eddie Guerrero This was a top level display to the Japanese fans of the excitement to be found in the PCW tag team division. Two of the fastest rising young teams in PCW squared off in a thrilling bout with plenty of double team moves and near falls. Armstrong was able to pull off the victory with a top rope missile dropkick on Eddie, but both teams got a round of applause from the appreciated crowd. Super Strong Machine vs. Seiji Sakaguchi At the previous co-promotional show, Super Strong Machine appeared representing New Japan. This time out, he is a full time member of the Pacific Coast Wrestling roster. The masked man gave his all against the veteran Sakaguchi in a tough technical duel where Machine emerged triumphant with the Devil Windmill Suplex. Bret & Owen Hart vs. Buzz & Hack Sawyer These two teams had met once before in PCW , with the Sawyers coming out on top. The Harts were determined to avenge their earlier loss. Perhaps it was being in a Japanese ring or his recent match with Steven Regal, but Buzz was reining in his dirtier tactics and matching up well with the Harts in scientific wrestling. This was a long, tense match, and it seemed at several points that it could go in either direction. It wound up being Owen who tipped the balance, hitting a reverse flying bodypress on Hack to score the pinfall. Tony St. Clair vs. Yoshiaki Fujiwara This was an eagerly awaited battle between two of the toughest men on either roster. The two had a titanic war with both men determined not to give an inch to the other. St. Clair tried to finally put Fujiwara away with his spinning forearm smash, but Fujiwara blocked it and sent him to the mat with a brutal single arm takedown. He then locked St. Clair in his namesake Fujiwara Armbar, and the Englishman was unable to escape, having no choice but to tap out. Joe & Dean Malenko vs. Shiro Koshinaka & Kengo Kimura Another fast rising team in PCW is the duo of Joe and Dean Malenko, who have helped put the Pride on the map as a faction to be respected and feared. They showed why in an incredibly competitive match with two of the top stars of New Japan. They survives the onslaught of Koshinaka and Kimura and ultimately prevailed when Dean hit a brutal brainbuster on Koshinaka. Black Tiger vs. Nobuhiko Takada This is a rematch from the previous co-promotional show, where Tiger was able to successfully defend his Pacific Light Heavyweight Title. He is no longer champion, but was no less determined to win out over Tanaka. The two went at it like gladiators, with Tiger once again able to work his way out of the submission traps that Takada set for him. But he wasn't able to dodge a spinkick from Takada that caught him in the head and knocked him cold. Takada was awarded the match by knockout. Dan Severn & Jeff Jarrett vs. Akira Maeda & Mr. Hito Last time Severn and Maeda faced off in Japan, it was a brutal bout that ended in a no contest. Their mutual hatred has not diminished one iota since then, and this match was just as vicious, with Jarrett and Hito getting caught between the two. Severn ultimately was able to pin Hito with a capture suplex, but both sides kept at it after the finish, with a contingent of PCW and NJPW wrestlers coming out to separate the two sides. Gary Young vs. Riki Choshu Young absorbed an hellacious beating at the last co-promotional show, but was still on the winning side when his partner, Bob Backlund, pulled out the victory. This time out, he didn't have Backlund or any of the other members of the Knights Templar in his corner, and would be facing Riki Choshu on his own. Credit where it is due, Young put up a valiant effort, doing everything he could to stem Choshu's attack. But in the end, it was too much to overcome, with Choshu taking him down with a Riki Lariat before forcing him to tap out to the Scorpion Hold. Kuniaki Kobayashi vs. Brian Pillman It was the consensus of the Japanese fans that the breakout star of the previous co-promotional show was Brian Pillman, and everyone was keen to see how he would do against the Junior Heavyweight champ. Although both men were champions in their respective promotions, neither title would be on the line, with the two men fighting for honour and glory. The two men started slowly, testing each other and trying to spot a weakness. After a period of matwork, they started to open up their offense a bit more. Each man took more and more risks as the match went on, but neither man was able to get the other down for the three count. The bell rang at 30 minutes with both men standing tall, and the match was declared a time limit draw. The fans gave them a standing ovation for their outstanding efforts. Nick Bockwinkel & Antonio Inoki vs. Barry Windham & Curt Hennig http://pwtorch.com/artman2/uploads/3/HennigAWA2_1.jpg Speaking of time limit draws, Bockwinkel and Inoki went at it for 60 minutes at the previous show in an epic battle. This time out, they would be joined together in a super team against two of the young lions of the Brigade. This was truly a battle for the ages, with the youth and vigor of the Brigade being matched by the skill and experience of Inoki and Bockwinkel. Things seemed to be going the way of the veterans when Windham and Hennig turned the momentum on it's head with a double dropkick that sent him flying out of the ring. Bock tried to come at them, but was sent to the mat by a double lariat. There was a moment of confusion when they were uncertain who would go for the pin, but as Hennig was the legal man in the ring he went for the cover and got the one two three. The Brigade had pulled out an incredible victory and soaked in the cheers of the Japanese fans.

I'm calling Wahoo and Dr. D vs. the Koloffs as a blood bath. Tully vs. JYD is going to be explosive.

Pacific Coast Wrestling show from the Kelowna Memorial Arena, Kelowna, October 2nd Pierre Carl Ouellet vs. Cactus Jack Another furious brawl between these two young up and comers where Ouellet ducked under a clothesline from Cactus Jack and backdropped him out of the ring. Ouellet then followed up with a running senton from the apron onto Cactus on the floor, then made it back into the ring in time to win by countout. Cannonball Grizzly vs. The Angel Of Death After the referee was knocked down, Teijo Khan ran into the ring and ambushed Grizzly from behind with a big kick to the back of the head. A staggered Grizzly was then easy prey for a Death Sentence (top rope flying clothesline) that got the win for AOD. Barry Windham vs. The One Man Gang Another knock down, drag out brawl, where Gang wrapped his chain around his arm and tried to clothesline Windham. Windham ducked under and Gang hit the referee instead. Once the ref recovered, he gave the match to Windham by DQ, but the two men kept at it long after the decision was rendered. Fit Finlay vs. Buddy Rose Once again, this feud kept rolling on in a chaotic match. Rose tried to summon in Teijo Khan and the Angel Of Death, but they wound up being intercepted in the aisle by Cannonball Grizzly and Pierre Carl Ouellet. During this distraction, Finlay hit Rose with a Tombstone Piledriver for the win. Pacific Light Heavyweight Title Match : Brian Pillman © vs. Chris Candido An intensely competitive title defense that saw Pillman prevail over the former champion after a hangman's neckbreaker. Pacific Television Title Match : Ed Gantner © vs. Hector Guerrero The Big Bull had his hands full with the always fiery Hector, but ultimately came through with the Bull Hammer (running forearm smash to the face).

Pacific Coast Wrestling show from the Pacific Coliseum, Vancouver on Pacific Super Cards on ESPN / TSN , October 1st Doug Furnas vs. Chavo Guerrero After his shocking appearance at the previous night's show, Furnas made his in ring return tonight, overpowering Chavo and hitting the Volunteer Slam (running Canadian backbreaker into the corner followed by a slam to the mat) for the win. Ron Simmons vs. Sid Vicious Both of these two powerhouses went at it, fist and fire, and ended up being counted out while brawling outside the ring. Robbie Brookside vs. "Diamond" Timothy Flowers Brookside put up a courageous fight, but the leg injury suffered at the hands of the Sawyer Brothers proved to be too much to overcome, and Flowers took the match with a Piledriver Black Gold (Steve Blackman & Shane Douglas) vs. Joe & Dean Malenko The former Pacific Tag champs and the Brothers had a long, intense tag battle that went to the Malenkos when Dean pinned Shane following a Brainbuster Bret Hart vs. Hack Sawyer Bret threw everything he had at the younger Sawyer Brother and was finally able to get him to tap out to the Sharpshooter California & Submission Title Match : Bob Backlund © vs. Owen Hart Owen gave a furious challenge and came close to regaining the California Title on several occasions. But Backlund bided his time and was able to roll out of the way of an attempted Moonsault, then trapped Owen in the Crossface Chicken Wing to retain his titles.

Pacific Wrestling Showcase from the Victoria Memorial Arena, Victoria, on ESPN / TSN, September 30th John Tatum vs. Al Snow Coast 2 Coast have been embroiled in a red hot feud with their former comrades the Bomb Squad, with both teams getting victories in tag team and six man matches but the belts remaining around the waists of Snow and Candido. Tatum was coming off being pinned by Snow in a title match, but that seemed to only make him all the more determined to avenge his loss. The two had a hotly contested battle, and it looked like history would repeat itself when Snow whipped Tatum into the ropes to set him up for the Snow Bomb. But Tatum was able to catch himself on the ropes, and when Snow looked up, he caught a Superkick to give the win to "Hollywood" John. A crowd pleasing win, but only time will tell if he can turn that momentum into a title victory. Rick Gantner vs. Aaron Reisberger More and more, Rick Gantner has been coming into his own outside the shadow of his big brother Ed. Perhaps in an effort to stand out more on his own, the young Bull came out sporting a new look, with a shaved head and studded vest giving him a very distinct appearance. His look may be new, but it was a familiar story in this match, with Gantner tearing into the rookie Reisberger with bludgeoning blows and crushing power moves. He finally put it to rest with the Hangman's Drop (two handed chokeslam) and once again, the younger Gantner Brother stood tall in the ring. Chavo & Hector Guerrero vs. Gary Young & Jim Neidhart With Young and Neidhart seeming to be constantly at odds, it's strange that they find themselves teaming together in this match. Mr. Bob Backlund was at ringside, keeping his traditionally stern gaze on his two wayward charges throughout the match. The two teamed well, albeit without much comradeship, and when Neidhart caught Hector in a scoop powerslam, Young was able to hold off Chavo long enough for the Anvil to get the pinfall. A convincing victory, although seeing their cold disposition to each other after the match, we're not about to call Young and Neidhart best friends just yet. Todd Morton vs. Angel Acevedo Since his unexpected return to PCW, young Todd Morton has had the support of both the fans and the Army, but has had a bit of a tough time getting victories. Angel Acevedo certainly didn't seem to be taking him seriously, and one can hardly blame him, given how dominant the Diamond Exchange have been of late. Leo Burke was at ringside to cheer on his young pupil, but this only seemed to increase the derision of the Cuban Assassin. It looked like it would be another Diamond Exchange victory when Acevedo had him set up for the DDT. But after losing to Gary Young's DDT last week, Morton had clearly been working on a defense, and was able to block it and bail out of trouble. Acevedo continued his attack and soon had Morton set up again, but the young man was able to block and escape again. Acevedo was getting more and more frustrated, but finally was able to get Morton hooked up for what he knew would be the end of the match. However, he waited too long, and Morton countered the DDT with a small package that just barely got the three count. Acevedo was agog in disbelief while the fans and Burke erupted in cheers for Morton's underdog victory. Acevedo tried to go after Morton after the match, but Morton slid out of the ring and celebrated with the fans. One can't imagine the Diamond Exchange are going to let this go unanswered. Steven Regal vs. Buzz Sawyer Speaking of the Diamond Exchange, last week , Buzz Sawyer was able to pin Robbie Brookside, one half of the Golden State Tag Team champs, in an 8 man tag match. This week, he faced Brookside's partner, Steven Regal, one on one. While Sawyer had a bit of an advantage with regards to experience, the two were actually quite evenly matched. Regal took him to the mat early on, attempting to use his scientific wrestling skills to tie him up. But Sawyer was a former state high school amateur champion, even facing Dan Severn in the national semifinals, and used his unheralded technical abilities to escape any trap Regal set for him. Sawyer then went to his more traditional wheel house of rough and tumble brawling. But the young Englishman proved to have knuckles just as hard as him, with Regal knocking Sawyer for a loop a couple of times with some well timed and placed punches. The match swung back and forth until Sawyer was able to counter an attempted Regal-Plex with his own German Suplex and get the pinfall. A hard fought victory, but one where both men impressed the fans. Dan Severn, Bret Hart, Owen Hart & Brian Pillman vs. Akira Maeda, Dean Malenko, Joe Malenko, & Mr. Hito Severn has fought a long and brutal war against Akira Maeda, and to that end he has brought in Bret Hart and the Snowbirds to take on the entirety of the Pride. As could be expected, the two sides had a titanic battle, with none of them men wanting to give an inch. However, the match did take a turn to the unexpected when someone appeared during the match and stood in the aisle. The spotlight eventually shone on them, revealing them to be …. DOUG FURNAS? The big Oklahoman was thought to have left both PCW and the Pride a few weeks ago, but here he was, large as life and giving a cold stare to his one time allies. The Pride looked as shocked as everyone else at his reappearance, but Furnas simply shook his head and returned to the back. His brief appearance rattled the Pride enough that they seemed to be off balance through the rest of the match, with Hito ending up being pinned by Bret Hart with a crucifix. Even with the loss, the big news from this match was the return of Furnas, and the mystery as to what this would mean for the Pride.

We might just be able to span both UWFs at the same time. Herbie Cookies all round!
