Pacific Coast Wrestling show from the Kelowna Memorial Arena, Kelowna, October 31st Dan Severn vs. Mr. Hito Severn had a martial arts duel with Mr. Hito that held the fans spellbound until he was finally able to take the Japanese veteran down with a crushing throw before forcing him to submit to the Body Scissors Sleeper Shane Douglas vs. The Masked Avenger No matter what he did, young Douglas was unable to put a dent in the huge Avenger and went down to an over the knee backbreaker. What can Bam Bam Bigelow do to have a chance against the masked man? Brian Adams & Vic Steamboat vs. Chris Adams & TNT Brian Adams and his new friend Steamboat made for a surprisingly effective team, and while Chris Adams and TNT certainly gave them a hell of a fight, Brian Adams was able to pull off a shocking upset when he was able to hit a spinning backbreaker on Chris Adams for the win Golden State Tag Team Title Match : The Hart Foundation © vs. Badd Company Missy Hyatt has been absent from her men's corner for the last several matches, and that has led to a slump on the part of Badd Company. This bad streak continued as the Harts took them out with the Hart Attack Pacific Light Heavyweight Title Match : Chris Candido © vs. Black Tiger Ever since winning the belt, Candido has kept a vice like grip on the title, but seemed legitimately scared of Black Tiger. He did everything he could to delay locking up with the Tiger, and even when he did, he took every opportunity to bail out of the ring to get away from him. When he was able to get his hands on him, Black Tiger was able to wrap the champ up in a series of increasingly painful stretches and submissions holds, and while Candido kept barely being able to escape with is considerable athleticism and skill, the champ was distinctly backpedaling throughout the match. It was his stalling tactics that led to the match going to a 20 minute time limit draw, but one thinks he will not be able to out run the Black Tiger for much longer. Owen Hart & Brian Pillman vs. Tracy Smothers & Jack Victory With Smothers on his way to defending his California Title against Owen at San Diego Battleground, it was vital that he stay on the same page as his partner "Hollywood" Jack Victory in this match with the Snowbirds. Unfortunately for him, that was not the case, as he and Victory just could not get lined up, leading to a series of miscommunications cumulating in Owen ducking under a clothesline from Victory that wound up levelling Smothers. Pillman then hit a slingshot splash on Smothers while Owen tied up Victory, resulting in an embarrassing defeat for the Hollywood Knights. Smothers and Victory argued and shoved each other after the match until Chris Candido and Al Snow interceded and got things calmed down. Once again, Candido and Snow could be seen furtively discussing something behind the backs of Smothers and Victory as they all left the ring together.

Pacific Coast Wrestling show from the Pacific Coliseum, Vancouver on Pacific Super Cards on ESPN / TSN , October 30th Ron Simmons vs. Bob Orton A hard hitting match where ultimately Simmons was able to knock Orton off his feet and get the win with the Running Spear Jeff Jarrett vs. Hector Guerrero Young Jeff went all out against Hector in an incredible fast paced match but the experience of Guerrero spelled the difference when he was able to trap Jarrett in the Guerrero Clutch to score the pinfall Scott Hall & Tom Magee vs. Mando & Chavo Guerrero Hector's brothers gave a very tough challenge to Hall and Magee, but Gator and Megaman would not be denied, focused as they are on their upcoming challenge to the Hart Foundation's Golden State Tag Team Titles. Hall pinned Mando after the Gator Breaker (fallaway slam) The Thundercats (Too Cold Scorpio & Norman Smiley) vs. The Wild Bulls (Ed & Rick Gantner) The Wild Bulls were clearly looking to send a message as they administered a brutal beat down to the Thundercats. The Bullpen were ecstatic as they his power move after power move on Scorpio and Smiley, finally putting them out of their misery when Rick executed the Hangman's Drop (two handed chokeslam) on Smiley. But that was not enough, as they continued attacking until they were ordered back to the locker room by security. Both Scorpio and Smiley had to be taken out on stretchers, and Iron & Steel had best be concerned about their upcoming San Diego Battleground match with the Gantner Brothers. Pacific Television Title Match : Big Bubba Rogers © vs. Larry Cameron Speaking of Iron & Steel, Larry Cameron challenged Big Bubba Rogers for the TV title. While Rogers has been dominant in his reign, the former BC Lion gave him quite a run for his money, knocking him about with big clothelines and tackles without quite getting him off his feet. It seemed like he might just pull it off when he had Rogers lined up for the Harlem Hammer (running double axehandle to the back of the head and neck). But with startling quickness, Big Bubba whirled around and caught him in a Bubba Slam to put an end to his challenge. A narrow escape, but still another convincing victory for the Louisville Slugger. Barry Windham & Mike Rotunda vs. Buddy Rose & Ed Wiskowski The Playboy seemed desperate to avoid matching up with Windham in this match, doing everything to keep his main henchman Easy Ed trying to do as much damage as possible to the men of the Brigade. But Barry made every shot he could get in on Rose count, and he and Rotunda were able to put down the Polish Prince with a double bulldog headlock while Rose was helpless to do anything but watch.

Pacific Coast Wrestling drops Too Cold Scorpio and Norman Smiley and picks up from free agency Luke Williams and Butch Miller.

Sorry I made the draft so boring by grabbing almost all of the first round picks. I hope people enjoy the folks I traded for their picks.

PCW takes Konnan and PN News and drops out.

Not sure if this is the right spot for this , but the presence of Johnny Grunge in the draft made me check something, and I did see that Ted "Rocco Rock" Petty was active during this time. Possibly he could be tossed into the draft? Not looking to pick him up myself, but he was active.

Pacific Wrestling Showcase from the Victoria Memorial Arena, Victoria, on ESPN / TSN, October 29th Tony St. Clair vs. Mr. Hito Tony St. Clair is gunning for the Great Muta after the face painted one eliminated him in the big battle royal, costing him a shot at the Pacific Heavyweight Title. He will get that match at San Diego Battleground, but first he will have to get through Muta's stable mate, Mr. Hito. Hito was certainly not going to be taken lightly , lacing into St. Clair with brutal kicks and stretching him with intense submission holds. St. Clair was able to outlast this onslaught, fighting his way out of the holds and firing back with his own shots. St. Clair blocked an attempted takedown and executed the Floating Butterfly Suplex for the win. A big victory, but he has an even sterner test ahead of him in the Great Muta. Hiroshi Hase vs. TNT Ever since arriving in PCW, the Caribbean Nightmare known as TNT has torn through the opposition like a buzzsaw. In this match, young Hase gave a good accounting of himself but in the end it just wasn't enough. TNT hit the Caribbean Kick and that was that. TNT is on a rampage and it doesn't look like anyone can stop him. Owen Hart vs. Al Snow In what many were calling the sleeper match of the night, two of the young up and comers in PCS put on an incredible display of wrestling skill. These two had the fans reeling and rocking with a fast paced match that kept them on the edge of their seats. As near fall followed near fall, the fans were spellbound, until finally Owen hit a belly to belly suplex and kept Snow down for the one two three. The fans gave them a standing ovation as the two shook hands following the match. Jeff Jarrett & Dan Severn vs. Chavo & Mando Guerrero These are two teams who both have matches coming up at San Diego Battleground, and were both looking to go in with the momentum on their side. The Guerreros had the experience advantage for this match, but Severn and Jarrett were not about to be intimidated, and fought back against the brothers with everything they had. It looked like it would be all over for the Odd Couple when Mando had Jarrett set up for a German Suplex. But Jarrett countered by flipping over Mando's back and trapping him with a schoolboy rollup that just barely held his shoulders to the mat for a one two three. The Guerreros were furious at the decision, but there was no denying the impressive victory by Jarrett and Severn. Barry Windham vs. Rick Steiner Windham is coming in on a real high, with his victory at the big battle royal ensuring him a shot against Buddy Rose for the Pacific Heavyweight Title at San Diego Battleground. Tonight, the Playboy sent out one of the members of the Playboy Club, one half of the Dog Pound Rick Steiner, to do as much damage as possible. Steiner is a powerful man and managed some impressive slams and suplexes on the big man from Sweetwater. Windham was able to come back and show why he was the number one contender, knocking down Steiner with clotheslines and a spectacular vertical suplex out of the corner. He finally caught Steiner in an Oklahoma Roll that secured him the pinfall. If Buddy Rose wasn't afraid for the safety of his title, he certainly should be now.

Sounds good to me.

Race vs Tully is a definite Take My Money match. -
The King vs. The Universal Heartthrob is a super hot feud and can't wait to see the National title match.

Hacksaw and Herc have all the makings of an epic, bloody feud. Well done on the strong tag division as well.

Pacific Coast Wrestling Show from the UCSB Event Center, Santa Barbara, October 24th Robbie Brookside vs. Hector Guerrero A very fast paced match where Brookside gave Hector a real run for his money until he was ultimately pinned with the Guerrero Clutch Vic Steamboat vs. Randy Rose Steamboat was able to prevail over the veteran rose with a flying cross body press Jeff Jarrett & Dan Severn vs. Chavo & Mando Guerrero A thrilling tag match where Jarrett and Severn held their own against the Guerrero Brothers until Chavo was able to catch Jeff in a German Suplex for the win Owen Hart, Brian Pillman, Keiichi Yamada & Hiroshi Hase vs. Tracy Smothers, Jack Victory, Chris Candido & Al Snow Tonight, Owen Hart led his fellow Snowbirds into war with the Hollywood Knights. And what a war it was, with the ref struggling to maintain control and both teams looking at different points like they would take the match. It looked like things would go to the Knights when Smothers had Victory hold Owen in place for a savate kick. But Owen was able to dodge out of the way and Smothers kicked Victory instead. While Smothers tried to apologize to Victory, Yamada took advantage of the distraction by rolling up Smothers while Owen and Pillman held off Victory, giving the win to the Snowbirds. Smothers and Victory were clearly arguing all the way back to the locker room, while Candido and Snow could be seen whispering to each other behind their backs. Barry Windham, Mike Rotunda & Tom Magee vs. The Hart Foundation & TNT At San Diego Battleground, Tom Magee will team with Scott Hall to face the Hart Foundation for the Golden State Tag Titles, but tonight he would be working with his Brigade colleagues Windham and Rotunda to face the Harts along with TNT. The result was an epic match, including a duel of kicks between Magee and TNT, as well as Magee hitting a spectacular Thrust Kick on Neidhart that sent the Anvil flying out of the ring. The MVP for Gary Hart's men was once again Bret Hart, who had showdowns in the ring with both Windham and Rotunda that had the fans reeling. The match ended in a 20 minute time limit draw leaving the crowd craving more of this matchup. Pacific Television Title Match : Big Bubba Rogers © vs. Brian Adams While Big Bubba has been pretty much steamrolling over all challengers since winning the TV title, the big Hawaiian proved to be quite a considerable challenge for him. He came the closest of all challengers so far to knocking the Louisville Slugger off his feet as he rocked him with big punches and clothesline. Unfortunately, while the ref was ordering Jim Cornette not to interfere, Chris Adams sneaked into the ring and knocked down Brian Adams with a superkick to the back of the head. Big Bubba followed up with a big splash to put an end to the American Ninja's challenge. While Cornette and Bubba left the ring, cackling all the way, Chris Adams and TNT proceeded to continue the attack on Brian Adams until Vic Steamboat rushed out and ran them off. Steamboat then helped Brian up and back to the locker room.

Pacific Coast Wrestling show from the LA Sports Arena, Los Angeles, on ESPN / TSN Pacific Super Cards, October 23rd Owen Hart vs. Mr. Hito The Japanese veteran really took it to Owen, but the young Snowbird prevailed with a reverse flying body press Bam Bam Bigelow vs. Joel Deaton The Beast From The East pinned the tough Texan with a slingshot splash The Thundercats (Too Cold Scorpio & Norman Smiley) vs. The Bomb Squad (Chris Candido & Al Snow) Once again, the Thundercats tried to match their opponents in dirty tactics, but the Bomb Squad won when Snow pinned Scorpio with a Snow-Plex (wheelbarrow suplex) Black Tiger & Black Gold (Steve Blackman & Shane Douglas) vs. Fit Finlay & The Dog Pound (Brian Knobbs & Rick Steiner) An intense six man match that ended with Black Tiger hitting a tombstone piledriver on Steiner for the victory Pacific Tag Team Title Match : The Midnight Express © vs. Badd Company Once again, Badd Company came out without Missy Hyatt and had trouble gaining any traction against the champs, who successfully defended their titles with a Double Goozle on Diamond Barry Windham vs. Ed Wiskowski Clearly the Polish Prince was under orders from his boss Buddy Rose to make sure Windham was in no shape for his title shot at San Diego Battleground, as Easy Ed seemed far more interested in trying to injure Barry than pin him. But Windham toughed it out and showed he could dish it as well as take it, finally putting Wiskowski down with a running Bulldog Headlock. Pacific Heavyweight Title Cage Match : Buddy Rose © vs. Tony St. Clair The Playboy had nowhere to run to in this match, and couldn't call on the help of the Playboy Club to bail him out. St. Clair bounced him around the cage, and it looked like the title would finally be his. St. Clair wound up for the spinning forearm smash, but Rose ducked, evidently hoping that St. Clair would end up hitting the referee like before. However, it was all a feint from St. Clair, who waited until Rose looked up and then clobbered him with the spinning forearm. Unfortunately, Rose went flying into the ref, so that when he went for the pin, there was no one to make the count. When he went over to help up the ref, a recovered Rose ambushed him with a low blow from behind. Rose followed up with the Inside Out Backbreaker and the ref made the three count, failing to notice that Rose had his feet propped up on the ropes. Will anyone be able to pry the title loose from the Playboy?

With the main event set, we can now announce the full card for San Diego Battleground. Once again, Pacific Coast Wrestling will be hosting a two night spectacular, this one coming from the San Diego Sports Arena. Night One Dan Severn & Jeff Jarrett vs. The Vice Squad (Jimmy Del Ray & Randy Rose) TNT vs. Leo Burke Brian Adams vs. Chris Adams Badd Company vs. The Bomb Squad (Chris Candido & Al Snow) Brian Pillman vs. Hector Guerrero Vic Steamboat vs. Joel Deaton Loser Of The Fall Leaves Town Match : Iron & Steel (Tony Atlas & Larry Cameron) vs. The Wild Bulls (Ed & Rick Gantner) California Title Match : Tracy Smothers (c) vs. Owen Hart Golden State Tag Team Title Match : The Hart Foundation (c) vs. Scott Hall & Tom Magee Pacific Television Title Match : Big Bubba Rogers (c) vs. Nick Busick Night Two Mike Rotunda vs. One Man Gang Tony St. Clair vs. The Great Muta Brickhouse Brown vs. Jack Victory Elimination Style Three Way Tag Team Match : Black Gold (Steve Blackman & Shane Douglas) vs. The Dog Pound (Brian Knobbs & Rick Steiner) vs. The Thundercats (Too Cold Scorpio & Norman Smiley) Black Tiger vs. Fit Finlay Loser Leaves Town Match : Bam Bam Bigelow vs. The Masked Avenger Eddie Gilbert vs. Bob Orton Keiichi Yamada & Hiroshi Hase vs. Chavo & Mando Guerrero Ron Simmons vs. Stan Hansen Pacific Tag Team Title Match with the loser of the fall leaving town (Big Bubba Rogers banned from ringside) : The Midnight Express (c) vs. British Steel (Steven Regal & Robbie Brookside) Pacific Heavyweight Title Match : Buddy Rose (c) vs. Barry Windham

Pacific Wrestling Showcase from the Olympic Auditorium , Los Angeles , on ESPN / TSN, Steven Regal vs. Dennis Condrey British Steel and the Midnight Express are headed for an epic showdown at San Diego Battleground. The loser of the fall of that match will be forced to leave Pacific Coast Wrestling, which means that one of those two teams will be no more , not just in PCW but anywhere. This had to be at the top of both competitors minds as Steven Regal and Dennis Condrey squared off in a singles match. Young Regal brought his considerable technical skills to the fray, catching Condrey in several rollups and submission holds. But Condrey was able to bring his own deep well of cunning experience, always finding a way out of any trap, by hook or by crook. This proved to be the deciding factor as Condrey was able to block an attempted Regal-Plex and hook Regal in an inside cradle for the one two three. Not a good omen for San Diego Battleground and British Steel may well be worried for their high stakes match. Eddie Gilbert vs. Randy Rose Gilbert has been doing battle with the Crazy Gang, most notably with "Cowboy" Bob Orton. Tonight, he would face one half of the Vice Squad in "Ravishing" Randy Rose. While Rose was quite a handful for "Hot Stuff" to deal with, the former Pacific Heavyweight Champ was ultimately able to take the win when he caught Rose coming off the ropes and hit the Hot Shot. But as he was going for the pinfall, Bob Orton came out and started jawing with Gilbert's manager Missy Hyatt. Hyatt wasn't going to take any of his guff and actually slapped his face when he went to far. An enraged Bob Orton grabbed her by the wrist , and Missy had a few moments of pure terror before her man Eddie came storming out of the ring to her rescue, chasing Orton back to the locker room. Sooner or later, these two will have to have their ultimate showdown. Badd Company & Vic Steamboat vs. The Bomb Squad (Chris Candido & Al Snow) & Jack Victory Unsurprisingly, Missy Hyatt did not join her younger charges for this match, and the effect of that showed. Badd Company seemed unfocused and off kilter in this match, only tagging with each other and failing to bring Steamboat into the match. The members of the Hollywood Knights hungrily took advantage of that during the match, and Tanaka failed to notice Snow doing a sneak tag in to Victory. Victory blindsided Tanaka with a clothesline to the back of the head , then hammered on him with lefts and rights before executing the Victory Plex for the pinfall. A disappointing result for Badd Company and Steamboat, and Tanaka and Diamond seemed particularly dejected. Steamboat tried to give them a pep talk and be supportive , but Tanaka and Diamond didn't want to hear any of it. Larry Cameron vs. Ed Gantner Two other teams locked in an epic feud are the Wild Bulls and Iron & Steel, having been locked in a war with each other for much of the year. This singles match between two members of each team was a hard hitting power battle, with the two muscular grapplers throwing everything they had at each other. Gantner was incredibly close to taking the win when he went for the Bull Hammer (running forearm smash to the face), but Cameron blocked it with a boot to the chest, then followed up with the Harlem Hammer (running double axehandle to the back of the head and neck). A hard fought win, but one gets the feeling that the final battle between these two teams is coming up fast. Battle Royal for a Pacific Heavyweight Title shot at San Diego Battleground : One Man Gang, Stan Hansen, Ron Simmons, Barry Windham, Tony St. Clair, Ed Wiskowski , Shane Douglas, Steve Blackman, Brian Knobbs , Rick Steiner, Brian Adams, Chris Adams, Vic Steamboat, Joel Deaton, Mr. Hito, Nick Busick, The Great Muta, Brickhouse Brown, Brian Pillman, Hector Guerrero The main event had incredibly high stakes, with the winner getting a shot at the Pacific Heavyweight Title at San Diego Battleground, currently held by "Playboy" Buddy Rose. Brian Adams and Chris Adams immediately went after each other, which ended up costing them as Nick Busick and Ed Wiskowski took advantage and used their focus on each other to toss them from the ring. Several wrestlers tried to gang up on the One Man Gang, trying to get him out early, but the big 747 would not go out so easy, fighting off his attackers and throwing out Steamboat and Brickhouse. Tony St. Clair had a good night, eliminating Ed Wiskowski, Rick Steiner and Brian Knobbs, but Muta caught him with a blast of the green mist to the face before spin kicking him out of the ring. An impressive elimination but he took to much time gloating over it, leading to Douglas and Blackman hitting a double dropkick to send him flying out of the ring. The two members of Black Gold worked well together, also eliminating Joel Deaton and Mr. Hito, but Stan Hansen put an end to their run with a double lariat. It eventually came down to a final four of One Man Gang, Stan Hansen , Ron Simmons and Barry Windham. Two of the biggest men in the Crazy Gang versus two of the biggest men in the Brigade. After several minutes of vicious brawling, Hansen had Simmons set up for elimination when he went for a big shoulder tackle. But Simmons was able to grab him when he was hit, and both men went tumbling out of the ring together. It was now down to Gang and Windham. Windham did his best, but the huge Gang had such an overwhelming size advantage that it was hard to make a dent in him. Gang battered the Sweetwater native and got ready for the killing blow when he whipped Windham hard into the corner and came in for an Avalanche. But Barry dodged out of the way at the last second, and Gang crashed chest first into the corner. Barry took advantage of the momentum and hurled Gang out of the ring. Barry Windham was the winner! The tall Texan was triumphant and would go on to challenge for the Pacific Heavyweight Title at San Diego Battleground. The other members of the Brigade rushed out to the ring and congratulated him as the fans cheered him on.

Pacific Coast Wrestling show from McArthur Court, Eugene, October 10th Nick Busick vs. Chavo Guerrero After a tough battle, The Man From Powerhouse Hill was able to catch Chavo in a Spinebuster Slam for the win Jeff Jarrett vs. One Man Gang Jarrett had the fans solidly on his side and put up a brave fight but was overwhelmed by the big 747 who pinned him after a front layout suplex Black Tiger vs. Al Snow A fast paced and exciting bout which Tiger won with a gutwrench suplex followed by a Tombstone Piledriver Dan Severn vs. Fit Finlay Two of the toughest men in PCW threw down in a hard hitting bout that ended up in a double countout with both men slugging it out in the aisle Pacific Light Heavyweight Title Match : Chris Candido © vs. Pat Tanaka An extremely competitive bout that ended when Candido ducked a Tanaka spin kick and countered with a leg sweep, followed by a legdrop and running senton to successfully defend his title Scott Hall, Tom Magee & Brickhouse Brown vs. The Hart Foundation & TNT A very heated battle that went to the Brigade when Magee caught Neidhart with a thrust kick to the jaw California Title Match : Tracy Smothers © vs. Steven Regal Young Regal really got the crowd going and looked like he might just pull off an upset win for the title when he had Smothers set up for a Cradle Suplex. But Smothers was playing possum and lured Regal into a DDT to remain the champ

Pacific Coast Wrestling show from the Portland Memorial Coliseum , Portland , on ESPN / TSN Pacific Super Cards, October 9th Brian Adams vs. Mr. Hito Adams beat Hito with a spinning backbreaker Leo Burke vs. The Masked Avenger Burke was out for vengeance but the masked man proved to be too much power to overcome and the Avenger pinned him after an Avalanche in the corner Vic Steamboat vs. Chris Adams Adams won by DQ when Brian Adams came out and attacked him. While Steamboat was clearly not pleased with the result, after the match he gave a long talk to Brian Adams and then patted him on the back before leaving the ring. Keiichi Yamada vs. Hector Guerrero Yamada was going for a brainbuster, but Hector blocked it and was able to trap him in the Guerrero Clutch to score the pinfall Black Gold (Steve Blackman & Shane Douglas) vs. The Dog Pound (Brian Knobbs & Rick Steiner) Blackman clotheslined Steiner into a belly to back suplex by Douglas for the win Pacific Tag Team Title Match : The Midnight Express © vs. The Thundercats (Too Cold Scorpio & Norman Smiley) The Midnight Express freely used underhanded tactics throughout the match, which was no surprise. What was a surprise was that the popular Thundercats seemed just as willing to cheat back. Scorpio had Condrey's shoulders to the mat after a Sunset Flip out of the corner, but while the ref was escorting Smiley out of the ring, Bobby Eaton broke up the pin with a diving clothesline on Scorpio, then put Condrey on top to get his team the one two three. Barry Windham vs. "Mean" Mike Miller These two have had some intense battles, and this one was no exception. But Windham seemed to especially have a fire in his belly, and wound up flattening Miller with a Western lariat to pull out an impressive victory. Pacific Heavyweight Title Match : Buddy Rose © vs. Tony St. Clair Rose won by DQ when he ducked an attempted spinning forearm smash and St. Clair accidentally hit the ref. Rose was laughing when they announced the result, but stopped laughing when a furious St. Clair chased him out of the ring and back to the locker room.

Pacific Wrestling Showcase from the Portland Sports Arena, Portland , on ESPN / TSN , October 8th TNT vs. Matt Dyson Last week, Brian Adams found himself kicked out of Gary Hart International and subsequently attacked by a mysterious facepainted man. This week , Gary Hart came out and introduced that man as his newest protégé, the Puerto Rican firebrand known as TNT. Young Matt Dyson was probably wishing that he was making his debut on a different week, as TNT brutally and effectively dismantled him with a series of chops and kicks before putting him down for good with a whalloping spin kick. An impressive debut, but he had best be on his guard, because you know that big Brian Adams is going to be out for vengeance. Brian Pillman vs. Mando Guerrero The former Cincinnati Bengal has had several exciting matches with Hector Guerrero, but tonight he would be facing another Guerrero, Mando. Mando did everything he could to ground Flyin' Brian with some takedowns and submission holds. But Pillman has learned a lot in his short time and was able to roll through or break out of these holds, and it didn't take long for him to take to the sky. He peppered Mando with his trademark aerial moves before pinning him following the Air Pillman. A satisfying win for Pillman, however you know he is looking for just one more match with Hector Guerrero. Pacific Television Title Match : Big Bubba Rogers © vs. Brickhouse Brown Ever since his controversial win over Bam Bam Bigelow for the Pacific TV Title, Big Bubba Rogers has been an unstoppable juggernaut. No one has come close to taking the belt from him. The popular Brickhouse did his best, but Rogers would not be denied, catching him with a Big Bubba Slam for another dominating victory. After the match , he and Jim Cornette , along with the Midnight Express, gathered in the ring. Frank Bonnema joined them. Bonnema : Well, Jim Cornette, you certainly seem to be full of yourself today. Cornette : Well, Freewheelin' Frank, I have every right to be. The Midnight Express are the Pacific Tag Team Champs, my man Big Bubba is the TV champ, and no one is even close to taking the gold from us. Camp Cornette is on top of the world and no one can stop us n- … Cornette is cut off by the sound of "Living After Midnight" by Judas Priest. playing over the arena PA. Cornette and his men are initially furious, but then start laughing when they see Robbie Brookside and Steven Regal, the members of British Steel, come to the ring, looking mad as hell and not about to take it anymore. Cornette : Well, well , well … if it isn't George and Andrew, fresh from guesting with Elton John at Live Aid! How can we help you, boys? If there is something bugging you, Big Bubba will gladly wake you up before you go go! Brookside : Jim Cornette, every time we get close to winning the Pacific Tag Titles, you send this big clot *pointing at Big Bubba* into the ring to pull your fat out of the fire. Well, at San Diego Battleground, that comes to an end! We have request in with the PCW board of directors to get us a title match, and Big Bubba will be banned from ringside. The Midnight Express immediately seem anxious, with Big Bubba remaining his usual impassive self, but Cornette calms them down and turns to British Steel. Cornette : Now, now, boys, we both know that will go nowhere. My mother's lawyers will have that injunction tied up until hell freezes over. I need Big Bubba for my own personal protection from these yahoos in the audience. But I am feeling generous, so I will make a little deal with you. I am sick of looking at you , week in and week out, and I never want to see you again. And I don't want you going to some other territory and crying about how the big , mean Midnight Express cheated you out of the titles. I want your team done for good. So I will agree to your conditions. We will defend the titles and Big Bubba will stay back at the locker room … on one condition. If you lose the match, whichever one of you loses the fall … will be gone from Pacific Coast Wrestling! British Steel will be no more! One of you will have to go somewhere else, while the other one will be forced to stay behind and live with the shame of their failure! What do you say, boys? There follows some intense discussion between Brookside and Regal before they make their reply. Regal : Well, Jim Cornette, we will accept your conditions, but only with one condition of our own. Your stipulation will also apply to your own team. If the Midnight Express lose, the loser of the fall will be forced to leave Pacific Coast Wrestling! Some more frantic chatter among the Midnight Express before Cornette responds. Cornette : You drive a hard bargain. But it is worth it to me just so I don't have to see your stupid faces again. I have full confidence in my men that there is no chance of you winning. You're on! Eddie Gilbert & Vic Steamboat vs. Bob Orton & Joel Deaton Gilbert and Steamboat have fought hard against the men from the Crazy Gang and have just gotten the word that they would be facing Orton and Deaton, respectively, in singles matches at San Diego Battleground. Neither team wanted to look weak before their high profile battles, so they both went all out in this match, and it seemed at different points like either team could take the match. It came down to skullduggery on the part of the Crazy Gang, as they took advantage of a distraction of the referee to blindside Steamboat with a double lariat to take the win. A tough loss for Missy Hyatt International, but they are focused on getting the win back at San Diego Battleground. Pacific Heavyweight Title Match : Buddy Rose © vs. Shane Douglas Shane Douglas has learned a lot in his time in the Pacific Coast, both from his mentor Leo Burke and his partner Steve Blackman. Tonight, all that education would be put to the test as he got his shot at the Playboy's Pacific Heavyweight Title, and he was determined to make the most of that opportunity. He was very aggressive with the champ, and Rose seemed somewhat caught off guard by the fighting spirit of the young Pennsylvania native. Rose certainly knew how to cut off some of Douglas' offense by digging into his considerable bag of tricks, but Douglas just kept battling back. Shane's youthful high spirits got the better of hi when he went for a running cross body on Rose, only for the Playboy to counter with a rollover and, with his feet on the ropes, get the tainted pinfall. While Douglas may not have won the title, he certainly had won a new level of respect from the fans.

Pacific Coast Wrestling show from the Kelowna Memorial Arena, Kelowna, October 3rd Dan Severn & Jeff Jarrett vs. The Vice Squad (Jimmy Del Ray & Randy Rose) Severn beat Rose with a takeover suplex Ron Simmons vs. "Mean" Mike Miller Simmons won with a running spear Barry Windham, Tom Magee & Scott Hall vs. The Hart Foundation & The Great Muta The highlight of this match was a long exchange between Windham and Bret Hart. Hart ultimately won the match for his team when he countered an attempted neckbreaker by Magee with a lightning quick Russian Legsweep. Eddie Gilbert vs. Bob Orton Gilbert caught Orton coming off the ropes with a Hot Shot for the victory Pacific Television Title Match : Big Bubba Rogers © vs. Mike Rotunda Rotunda was still showing the effects of the earlier attack by One Man Gang, but put in a valiant effort before being pinned by the champ after an Avalanche in the corner Iron & Steel (Tony Atlas & Larry Cameron) vs. The Wild Bulls (Ed & Rick Gantner) Another hard hitting bout between these two heated rivals that ended when Cameron went for the Harlem Hammer (running double axehandle to the back of the head and neck) on Ed Gantner, only for the Wild Bull to duck and come back with the Bull Hammer (running forearm smash to the face) to get the win California Title Match : Tracy Smothers © vs. Owen Hart Owen hit a flying cross body off the top rope to the outside on Smothers, then was able to make it back into the ring to beat the count and get the win by countout. Smothers remained California champ.

Chris Adams and Gary Hart were berating Brian Adams the whole time, but the American Ninja put in a game effort against the former Golden State Tag champs, up until Chris Adams finally came into the ring, only to hit his own partner with a Superkick, right into a rollup by Smiley for a Thundercats win. Chris Adams and Gary Hart continued to verbally abuse Brian Adams even after the end of the match, until Brian had enough and grabbed them both by the throat. Unfortunately for him, at this point a mysterious man in face paint charged the ring and nailed Brian with a crescent kick. He, Chris Adams and Gary Hart proceeded to put the boots to Adams. When this happened, the Thundercats bailed out of the ring, leaving Brian to his fate, but soon Vic Steamboat, Shane Douglas and Steve Blackman ran out to rescue the big Hawaiian, sending Chris Adams, Gary Hart and the mystery man running out of the ring. Who is this strange new cohort to Gary Hart International.
