Pacific Coast Wrestling show from the Selland Arena, Fresno, March 21st Jeff Jarrett vs. Mr. Hito Jarrett caught Hito in a rollup out of the corner, but Hito reversed it with a roll through and kept Jarrett's shoulders to the mat for the one two three. Ron Simmons vs. Chavo Guerrero Chavo really put Simmons through his paces, keeping one step ahead of the All American for much of the match, until Simmons was able to catch him with the spear and score the pinfall Norman Smiley vs. "Mean" Mike Miller Miller had Joel Deaton and Percy Pringle III in his corner for this match where he defeated Smiley after an intense battle with an over the shoulder neckbreaker Vic Steamboat vs. Brian Adams The hatred between these two men ignited in a brawl that spilled out onto the outside of the ring, resulting in a no contest Scott Hall & Tom Magee vs. Iron & Steel (Tony Atlas & Larry Cameron) During the course of this match , Mike Miller and Joel Deaton made there way down to ringside and wound up pulling down the top rope, causing Hall to tumble to the outside. Hall took a nasty spill and was not able to make it back into the match. Magee did the best he could, but could not overcome the numbers and ended up going down to the Harlem Hammer (running double axehandle to the back of the head and neck) from Cameron Golden State Tag Team Title Match : The Snowbirds (Owen Hart & Brian Pillman) © vs. The Suicide Blondes (Chris Candido & Todd Morton) An incredibly fast paced match with both teams looking to prove themselves. This was a real coming out party for the Blondes, who more than held their own against the champs and only came up short when Morton came off the top rope only to be met with a dropkick to the face from Owen to give the match to the Snowbirds. Pacific Television Title Match : Bam Bam Bigelow © vs. Hector Guerrero Much like his brother earlier in the evening, Hector conducted a masterful cat and mouse campaign against the Beast From The East, coming very close to taking the title on a number of occasions. But when he went for the Guerrero Clutch, the resilient Bigelow broke out of the attempt with some mighty elbow smashes to the face, and followed up with a running splash to get the three count.

PCW picks up Jack Victory.

Pacific Coast Wrestling show from the Cow Palace , San Francisco, on Pacific Super Cards, March 20th Pacific Light Heavyweight Title Match : Too Cold Scorpio © vs. Todd Morton The newest member of the Hollywood Knight proved to be quite a handful for Scorpio to try to contain, but he was ultimately able to successfully defend his title with a diving legdrop. Tom Magee vs. Joel Deaton Deaton was accompanied by both "Mean" Mike Miller and his manager, Percy Pringle III. Deaton knocked Magee over the top rope with a clothesline, but Magee was able catch himself on the top rope. Magee was about to skin the cat back into the ring, but Miller took Pringle's walking stick and clobbered Magee in the head with it, causing Megaman to fall to the outside. Magee was unable to make the count back into the ring, giving the match to Deaton by Countout. Scott Hall came out soon afterwards, getting in the face of Miller and Pringle for what they had done to his Brigade partner. It looked like they might come to blows, before security intervened and sent them back to their separate locker rooms. Keiichi Yamada & Hiroshi Hase vs. Tracy Smothers & Dan Severn Yamada came out with tights in a similar rising sun pattern to Hase's trunks. Does this mean he is now in the Snowbirds? "Mr. Hollywood" Tracy Smothers wound up getting overconfident and ran jaw first into a running palm thrust by Yamada that gave the Japanese star the pinfall. The California Champ was riding high before, but now it looks like he is facing a serious challenge from his former partner. Scott Hall vs. Mando Guerrero Guerrero took the Gator to his limits, but Hall was able to catch him coming off the ropes with a big power slam to pull out the win Dave Taylor vs. Chris Adams This match between two tough Englishmen was just getting underway when, once again, the mystery man in the hooded grey sweatshirt made his presence felt, attacking Taylor and causing a DQ. Adams didn't seem to upset by this, and stood back laughing while the stranger put the boots to Taylor. But he then tried to congratulate the man, and the smile vanished and was replaced by a look of horror when he pulled down the hood and showed his face. The stranger then attacked Adams, knocking him to the mat and pounding him with lefts and rights. It took the full complement of PCW security to subdue the man and lead him off in handcuffs. Even then, he was bellowing all the way as they took him away. Black Gold (Shane Douglas & Steve Blackman) vs. The Midnight Express Jim Cornette looked like he was about to toss in his tennis racquet , but the ref spotted him and threatened his team with disqualification if he did. This turned out to all be a ruse on the part of the Louisville Lip, as his bodyguard, Big Bubba Rogers, took advantage of the distraction and snuck into the ring, hitting a Bubba Slam on Blackman. The ref turned around and saw Condrey covering Blackman, and made the count to give the win to the Midnights. That didn't seem to be enough for Rogers, who grabbed Douglas and looked to do some more damage. Leo Burke immediately dove into the ring, interposing himself between Big Bubba and he two young charges. Burke put his fists up, but Rogers was not about to back down, and it took Cornette and both of the Midnight Express pulling him away to keep him from going at it with Burke. Jim Duggan & Nick Busick vs. Buddy Rose & Ed Wiskowski A wild brawl that ended when Rose hit a nasty low blow from behind on Duggan, leaving him prey for a big clothesline from Easy Ed that gave the win to the Playboy Club. Pacific Tag Team Title Match : The Wild Bulls (Ed & Rick Gantner) © vs. Chavo & Hector Guerrero The Guerrero Brothers have proved to be formidable challengers to the champs, but the Gantner Brothers have shown considerable development in their ring abilities and rose to the challenge, with Rick putting down Hector with a big boot to the face Pacific Heavyweight Title Match : Eddie Gilbert © vs. The Great Muta These two had a vicious match that ended with both men brawling outside the ring, leading to a double countout decision. Clearly, this feud is showing no sign of slowing down.

Pacific Wrestling Showcase from the Oakland Alameda County Arena, Oakland, on ESPN / TSN, March 19th Jeff Jarrett vs. Mr. Hito Making his debut tonight is Jeff Jarrett, a young third generation wrestler out of Hendersonville , Tennessee. The son of wrestling legend Jerry Jarrett and grandson of promoter Eddie Marlin, Jarrett is a friendly and enthusiastic man eager to make a good impression in his first match. His opponent is the returning Mr. Hito, the veteran Japanese superstar who is coming back to his position as enforcer for Gary Hart International. Jarrett showed considerable skill in his match with Hito, but also a fair amount of recklessness, letting himself fall into some traps set by Hito that he was only able to escape thanks to his considerable speed and athleticism. This culminated in Jarrett going up to for a missile dropkick, only for Hito to dodge out of the way, sending Jarrett crashing hard into the mat. Hito then picked up the dazed Jarrett and executed a backdrop suplex for the three count. A disappointment for Jarrett, but he showed good grace in bowing to Hito after the match and high fiving the fans on his way out. Despite the loss, one can see a bright future in the wrestling business for young Jarrett. Stan Hansen vs. Craig L'Anson Stan Hansen has been increasingly out of control, of late, mauling a series of rookies in some incredibly one sided beatings. L'Anson looked terrified to be stepping into the ring with the Madman from Borger. His misgivings were proven right when Hansen ploughed into him the moment the ring bell rang and started pounding him with merciless punches and kicks before flattening him with a mighty lariat for the pinfall that was pretty much a foregone conclusion. Once again, Hansen did not let the fun stop there, dropping huge elbow drops on the prone L'Anson and even threatening the ref when he tried to put a stop to it. It was only the threat of suspension that put a stop to him slugging the ref, and that only just seemed to hold him back. It was just this sort of behaviour that sent Hansen out of the territory in the first place, and unless somebody finds a way to rein in the master of the Lariat, his time in Pacific Coast Wrestling may well be coming to a close. Interview : Frank Bonnema stands in the ring Bonnema : Ladies and gentlemen, my next guests are a group of wrestlers who are creating a lot of waves in Pacific Coast Wrestling … the Hollywood Knights! Boos rain down as "Mr. Hollywood" Tracy Smothers, Dan Severn, Chris Candido and Todd Morton head out to the ring, but that does nothing to diminish their usual arrogance. Bonnema : My first question has to be directed at Todd Morton … last we saw you, you were part of a promising tag team with Shane Douglas, the Gold Exchange. Now you come back, and not only do you attack your former partner and friend, but you line yourself up with the Hollywood Knights. What on earth has gotten into you? Morton : Don't you tell me that Shane Douglas was my friend! We were supposed to be a team, the Gold Exchange! But we take on the Wild Bulls, and he just stands by and lets them send me out on a stretcher. I get put in a hospital , and where is Shane Douglas? Does he visit me? No! So much for his so called friendship. When I was able to make it back from PCW, I didn't bother with that backstabber. I found real friends in the Hollywood Knights, and a real partner in Chris Candido. The Gold Exchange is dead, and the Suicide Blondes are the team of the future. Bonnema : Speaking of former friends … Tracy Smothers, you have having a pretty free rein of things lately, but your old partner, Keiichi Yamada , has come back to spoil your partner. Smothers : Hey, that's no concern of mine! Yamada is just a sore sport. Mr. Hollywood has been doing just fine without him cluttering up my life. I'm the California champ, the leader of the Hollywood Knights, I've accomplished more than he could ever dream of. A murmur rumbles in the crowd as Keiichi Yamada shows up at ringside, giving Smothers a death glare. Smothers doesn’t let that break his stride. Smothers : Yeah, I'm talking to you! What have you been able to accomplish … Light Heavyweight champ? You weren't even able to hold onto that! I'm the California Champion, and I did it all without you. I don't need you, I don't need the Southern Boys … the only people I need are right here in the Hollywood Knights. The Beast, the Suicide Blondes … I sure don't need some nobody from Japan trying to sponge off my reflected glory! This is too much for Yamada, who dives into the ring and attacks Smothers. He gets in a few good shots before the rest of the Knights swarm him. Even he isn't able to overcome the overwhelming numbers, and things look very bad for Yamada until the Snowbirds (Owen Hart, Brian Pillman & Hiroshi Hase) charge in to run off the Knights. They help Yamada back up to his feet and assist him to the back. Barry Windham & Mike Rotunda vs. Bob Orton & Jimmy Del Ray Bob Orton seems to have taken the twin losses of the Television Title and the rest of the Crazy Gang particularly hard, resulting in a series of dispirited performances of late. This has been increasingly frustrating for Jimmy Del Ray, who is trying to reestablish himself in PCW but finding himself being weighed down by Orton's lack of focus. It seemed like Del Ray was determined to win this match entirely on his own, and gave a credible effort against the Brigade, but he could only do so much on his own and tried to tag Orton into the match. Orton couldn't bring himself to get much done in the ring, and eventually Del Ray demanded to be tagged back in. It was at this point that, of all people, "Mean" Mike Miller showed up at ringside, watching the proceedings with a deep, displeased scowl on his face. Del Ray did his best, but ultimately went down to a running bulldog headlock from Windham. After the match, Del Ray started shouting at Orton, who simply took it with a hangdog look on his face. It was then that Mike Miller interposed himself between the two of them, and shocked all present by slapping Orton hard across the face. The Cowboy gave him a stunned look , and Miller grabbed both men by the back of the hair and led them to the back, snarling at them all the way. Only time will tell what Miller has in mind for these two men. Steven Regal vs. Rick Steiner This match never had a chance to get started. On his way to the ring, Regal was ambushed by the mysterious man in the grey hooded sweatshirt, who clobbered Regal from behind with a huge clothesline and started stomping Regal into the aisle. Dave Taylor tried to come to the rescue of his young pupil, but was met with a jackhammer punch to the jaw that staggered him before the mystery man disappeared into the night. Who is this stranger and what does he have against Taylor and British Steel? Eddie Gilbert & Badd Company vs. The Great Muta & The Hart Foundation The long standing feud between Missy Hyatt International and Gary Hart International has moved into a new phase, with the Great Muta challenging for Gilbert's Pacific Heavyweight Title. Both teams were quite familiar with each other at this point, which led to a lot of tense showdowns and much tagging in and out. Gary Hart's team started using more and more shady tactics as the match wore on, but Gilbert and Badd Co had seen it all before from them, and just dug in deeper, determined to prevail. Hart eventually decided to pull out an equalizer, sending his bodyguard , Brian Adams, to attack Paul Diamond while Jim Neidhart held him. But Adams was yanked off the ring apron by someone who appeared out of nowhere. It was Vic Steamboat! Steamboat had not been seen in several weeks since Adams had put him on the shelf, but was clearly looking for some payback as he drove back Adams with blistering chops. Diamond then seized the advantage by reversing Neidhart with a rollup that got the three count. Muta looked like he was going to try to attack Gilbert while the champ and his teammates celebrated, but Gary Hart got in his ear and convinced him now was not the time. Regardless, Hot Stuff and the Pearl Of The Orient are headed for a collision, and it is bound to be explosive.

Enjoying the stories that are developing. Can't wait to see how things play out with Lisa Moretti, she might end up getting over confident facing the less experienced wrestlers.

Pacific Coast Wrestling show from McArthur Court, Eugene, March 14th Black Gold (Shane Douglas & Steve Blackman) vs. The Hart Foundation The Suicide Blondes snuck down to ringside and pulled down the ropes when Douglas was running the ropes, causing him to take a hard tumble to the outside. With Douglas dazed and the Blondes scurrying off into the night, the Harts used their 2 on 1 advantage to hit the Hart Attack on Blackman and win the match. Ron Simmons vs. Jimmy Del Ray Once again, Del Ray would square off with a member of the Brigade, and continued to give a good accounting of himself, keeping out of range of a lot of Simmons strength based moves and doing his best to wear down the All American. In the end, Simmons unleashed his sudden explosive power to nail Del Ray with a running spear and get the victory. The Thundercats (Too Cold Scorpio & Norman Smiley) vs. The Midnight Express After the previous evening's match, the Thundercats were determined not to lose because of a foreign object provided by managers, so when Jim Cornette tossed in his tennis racquet , Scorpio intercepted it and used it to clobber Bobby Eaton. Unfortunately, the ref caught him and gave the DQ win to the Midnight Express, but the Thundercats still got in several good shots on Eaton and Condrey, clearly working off a lot of frustration. Barry Windham & Mike Rotunda vs. Iron & Steel (Tony Atlas & Larry Cameron) In this rematch from Aloha Spectacular, these four hosses really put each other through the ringer. Ultimately, Windham was finally able to put Cameron down with a running bulldog headlock, but it clearly took the Brigade everything it had to pull out this win. California Title Match : Tracy Smothers © vs. Hiroshi Hase While Smothers came out with his Hollywood Knights cohort , Dan Severn, but Hase was joined by the newly returned Keiichi Yamada. While the menacing presence of Severn made sure that Yamada didn't take any direct hand in the match, but Yamada was clearly seething with rage at Smothers throughout the match. Hase and Smothers were fairly evenly balanced throughout the match, with Hase trying to finish off Smothers with a Northern Lights Suplex, but Smothers blocking it and countering with a rollup, grabbing a fistful of trunks to get the one two three. Smothers held onto his title, but his former friend now enemy doesn't look to be going away any time soon. Golden State Tag Team Title Match : The Snowbirds (Owen Hart & Brian Pillman) © vs. The Suicide Blondes (Chris Candido & Todd Morton) The new team of Candido and Morton have created enough of a buzz that they were able to score this Golden State Tag Team Title match right out of the gates and have a fast paced and exciting match with the popular Snowbirds. Unfortunately for them, they have also quickly made enemies, with Black Gold coming out to jaw with the Suicide Blondes. This provided enough of a distraction for Hart and Pillman to dropkick Candido and Morton out of the ring. Black Gold and the Blondes started slugging it out at ringside, but then the Hart Foundation charged into the ring and attack the Snowbirds, and the resulting four way brawl left the ref with no choice but to declare a No Contest. Pacific Heavyweight Title Match : Eddie Gilbert © vs. Bob Orton Bob Orton has been rather listless since Aloha Spectacular, but seemed to be making a conscious effort in this match where he got a shot at the big belt. He landed some serious shots on Gilbert and it took Gilbert coming off the top rope with an elbow smash to the head to put down the Cowboy for good. Time will tell if this will do anything to reignite the fire in the Ace.

Pacific Coast Wrestling show from the Portland Memorial Coliseum , Portland , on ESPN / TSN Pacific Super Cards, March 13th The Thundercats (Too Cold Scorpio & Norman Smiley) vs. Mike Miller & Joel Deaton Interestingly, whenever he was on the ring apron, "Mean" Mike Miller seemed to be deep in conversation with Percy Pringle III, Deaton's manager. After a tense struggle, Smiley managed to get Deaton in the Norman Conquest (Crossface Chicken Wing), but while the ref was escorting Scorpio out of the ring, Miller came in with Pringle's walking stick and used it to clobber Smiley in the back of the head. When the ref turned around, he saw Deaton covering Smiley and made the count for Deaton and Miller. Scott Hall & Tom Magee vs. Bob Orton & Jimmy Del Ray Orton has seemed to have lost some focus since losing the TV title along with the rest of the Crazy Gang, and Del Ray was getting more than a little frustrated with the Cowboy during this match. That said, Del Ray put in a game effort against Gator and the Megaman, and while he ended up taking the fall when Hall hit the Gator Breaker (fallaway slam) on him, he made the Brigade work hard for their win. British Steel (Steve Regal & Robbie Brookside) vs. The Dog Pound (Brian Knobbs & Rick Steiner) This match took a strange turn when someone in a grey sweatshirt with the hood pulled over their head came out of the audience, pulled Brookside off the ring apron and slammed him hard head first into the corner post. He then gave several hard kicks to Brookside before running off, chased by Dave Taylor. The Dog Pound took advantage of this distraction by double teaming Regal, with Steiner taking him down with a hard clothesline before Knobbs got him with a running powerslam for the win. Pacific Television Title Match : Bam Bam Bigelow © vs. Mando Guerrero The veteran Guerrero gave the Beast From The East an incredibly tough challenge, dodging a lot of his big power moves and wearing him down with a lot of submission holds. It looked like he might just pull it off when he locked Bigelow in a Sleeper Hold, but Bigelow was able to break out by driving him back first into the corner, then hit the Slingshot Splash for the pin. Pacific Tag Team Title Match : The Wild Bulls (Ed & Rick Gantner) © vs. Chavo & Hector Guerrero After losing the Golden Stat Tag Team Titles at the Aloha Spectacular, the Guerreros have been determined to prove that they are still top contenders. They went all out against the champs and pulled off a major upset when Chavo hit a running dive to the outside on both of the Gantner Brothers, then was able to make it back into the ring in time to get a win by countout. The Wild Bulls still kept the titles, but the Guerreros proved they are still a force to be reckoned with. Jim Duggan & Nick Busick vs. Buddy Rose & Ed Wiskowski A hard hitting match where Duggan and Busick were able to keep Wiskowski down after hitting a double running tackle. Eddie Gilbert & Badd Company vs. The Great Muta , Chris Adams & Brian Adams A wild match where Hyatt International continued their all out war with Hart International. After a long battle, the match came to a sudden end when Muta caught Diamond with a spin kick then raced up the ropes to hit the Moonsault for the win. Muta is certainly cinching his claim to be the top challenger for Gilbert's Pacific Heavyweight Title.

Fit Finlay and Jeff Jarrett have already been picked up by PCW.

Pacific Wrestling Showcase from the Portland Sports Arena, Portland , on ESPN / TSN , Tom Magee vs. Jimmy Del Ray Last week, Tom Magee made his debut in PCW as a new member of the Brigade. Tonight, he was having his first match against the returning Jimmy Del Ray. Del Ray had not been seen in several months but was determined to not be shown up by the youngster. Both men gave a good accounting of themselves, with Magee executing some spectacular backflips that went into hard hitting power moves. Del Ray held his own, showing the canny counter wrestling and execution that had previously brought him the Pacific Tag Team Titles. The two went at it until Del Ray got reckless and ended up running into a thrust kick to the jaw that got Magee the three count. A solid first match that showed both that Magee had arrived and that Del Ray was back and meant business. The Suicide Blondes (Chris Candido & Todd Morton) vs. Barry Lea & Rohan MacLaren The Suicide Blondes are the new pairing of Chris Candido and Todd Morton. Morton made a shocking return last week, attacking his former Gold Exchange partner Shane Douglas. As yet, it is unknown why he has turned on Douglas, but it is clear that he is now solidly in the camp of the Hollywood Knights. He and Candido have definitely gelled as a team, swiftly tagging in and out and hitting combination moves including a double dropkick that put away MacLaren. Another talented new team has joined the busy PCW tag team ranks, but the question remains : what has gotten into Todd Morton? Scott Hall vs. Bob Orton The other newest member of the Brigade had his first PCW match, taking on the veteran "Cowboy" Bob Orton. Orton was coming off the twin losses of the Pacific Television Title and the rest of the Crazy Gang, and seemed a bit off kilter for much of the match. Hall kept nailing him with huge clothelines and slams, and Orton seemed to have difficulty getting it together. Hall finally hit the Gator Breaker (fallway slam) for the pinfall, Hall's fortunes are on the rise in PCW, but will Orton be able to pull it together and stop his own descent? Joel Deaton vs. Andrew Torrens Another new star making his debut in PCW is "Outlaw" Joel Deaton, a big galoot from Texas, along with his rather, err, eccentric manager, Percy Pringle III . Pringle was certainly a bizarre presence at ringside, cackling and giggling throughout the match. Deaton himself was all business, manhandling the rookie Torrens with ease before dispatching him with a big boot to the head. Definitely an impressive debut for Deaton and Pringle, but they certainly have their work cut out for them, making their own mark in the tumultuous Pacific Coast scene. Nick Busick vs. Ted Wiskowski This was a battle between not just two world class mustaches but two of the hardest hitting heavyweights in Pacific Coast. Busick was looking for revenge on the Polish Prince after their match in Kelowna, but once again, Easy Ed had "Playboy" Buddy Rose in his corner, providing plentiful distraction. Regardless, these two went at it fist and fire in a high impact match. The pendulum of momentum swung back and forth in this match, but it looked like the balance had tipped in favor of Busick when he got Wiskowski set up for the Busick Bender (stump puller). But just like in Kelowna, Rose broke it up by entering the ring and clobbering Busick with a set of brass knuckles to cause a DQ finish. He and Wiskowski continued attacking Busick until "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan charged in, and he and Busick rallied to run off Rose and Wiskowski. Duggan has been outnumbered in his feud with the Playboy Club, but may have found just the equalizer he needs in The Man From Powerhouse Hill. California Title Match : Tracy Smothers © vs. Brian Pillman This was another rematch from Kelowna, with Pillman having given such a good accounting of himself in the earlier match to earn himself a second shot at the title. Mr. Hollywood had clearly scouted Pillman in the previous match, and was a lot more prepared for him. But the dynamic young Cincinnati native still gave the champ quite a fight, with Smothers going to increasingly dirty tactics to try to keep his grip on the title. This reached a peak when Pillman attempted hit a DDT on Smothers, only for Smothers to cut it off with a low blow kick. Smothers then further staggered Pillman with several elbow smashes before coming off the top with the Jawjacker for the victory. A tainted win, but Smothers celebrated like it was an epic triumph … until a gasp came up from the audience and Smothers noticed someone standing at ringside, staring at him. It was Keiichi Yamada! Smothers former friend and partner had returned to PCW and was staring daggers at Mr. Hollywood. Smothers was clearly shocked at the Japanese superstar's reappearance, and the show closed with them staring each other down.

Going to grab a few more from Free Agency : Mr. Hito, Jeff Jarrett, Percy Pringle (manager).

Thinking of a reality competition named Top Shot. One of the competitors in the first season was a retired British soldier named Ian. There was a scene when everyone was stuck inside the house during a rainstorm. Cue Ian standing on the front porch : "*grin* I'm an Englishman who moved to Oregon. Do you think I mind a little rain?" I figure the British and Irish wrestlers are an ideal fit for the Pacific Northwest climate.

Pacific Coast Wrestling show from the Pacific Coliseum, Vancouver on Pacific Super Cards on ESPN / TSN , March 6th Norman Smiley vs. "Mean" Mike Miller Miller won with an over the shoulder neckbreaker Vic Steamboat vs. Bret Hart After an closely fought match, it looked like Steamboat would win when he wrapped up Hart in a Figure Four Leglock. Hart's partner, Jim Neidhart jumped on the apron to try to help his partner get to the ropes, but the ref ordered him back down to the floor. As Neidhart and Gary Hart argued with the ref, it was revealed that this was all a deliberate distraction as Brian Adams, Gary Hart's bodyguard, snuck in the ring and hit a legdrop on Steamboat. When the ref turned around, he saw Bret Hart covering Steamboat and made the three count. But this was not enough for Adams, who was clearly smarting from his loss to Steamboat at Aloha Spectacular and kept up the attack. Hart and Neidhart held Steamboat up by either arm and Adams administered a vicious beatdown on the helpless Hawaiian until Eddie Gilbert and Badd Company ran them off. They then helped Steamboat to the back, but he had taken a brutal beating. Steve Blackman vs. Chris Candido Once again, Todd Morton interfered in the match, but Shane Douglas charged in and evened the sides. The resulting brawl led to the ref declaring a no contest Barry Windham vs. Bob Orton A tight contest between Windham and the former TV champ that Windham was able to take with a flying lariat Badd Company vs. Iron & Steel (Tony Atlas and Larry Cameron) Iron & Steel were looking to come back after their Aloha Spectacular loss to the Brigade. But Badd Company were no pushovers and fought an effective cat and mouse campaign, using their speed and teamwork to stymie the much bigger team. The end came when Tanaka leapfrogged Atlas, only to get nailed by the Harlem Hammer (running double axehandle to the back of the head and neck) by Cameron that gave the win to Iron & Steel Dave Taylor vs. Jim Neidhart Neidhart went for a running shoulder block on Taylor when he was trapped in the corner, but Taylor dodged out of the way and hit a rollup to get the one two three. Pacific Tag Team Title Match : The Wild Bulls (Ed & Rick Gantner) © vs. Chavo & Hector Guerrero Thus far, for the most part, the Gantner Brothers were used to rolling right over their opponents. The former Golden State Tag Champs, however, were seasoned veterans who gave the Wild Bulls a real run for their money. Chavo tried to finish off Ed Gantner with a German Suplex, but Gantner broke out of it with a series of elbowsmashes, then followed up with the Bull Hammer (running forearm smash to the face) to successfully defend their belts. An impressive win, but it showed that the new champs will face pretty stiff competition if they want to maintain their grip on the belts. Pacific Heavyweight Title Match : Eddie Gilbert © vs. Chris Adams In this rematch from Aloha Spectacular, Adams cranked up the intensity in his attempts to take the title. Gilbert was able to weather out the storm and counter a lariat with the Hot Shot and came out on top. But he didn't have long to celebrate his victory, as right after his hand was raised in victory, the arena lights went out. After a few seconds of confusion, they came back on, and The Great Muta was standing in the ring and blasted him with the green mist. He then savagely attacked Gilbert until the rest of Missy Hyatt International came out for the rescue. It looks like Gilbert might have just gone from the frying pan into the fire.

Fricking basketball, man!

I'd be good with that.

Pacific Wrestling Showcase from the Victoria Memorial Arena, Victoria, on ESPN / TSN, March 5th "Mean" Mike Miller vs. Evan Jones The first PCW match after the Aloha Spectacular featured the return of a face that hadn't been seen in the Pacific Northwest in quite some time. "Mean" Mike Miller was an ornery cuss who came to the ring with a leather vest and biker cap as well as a bandana tied around his neck. The fans booed him as he stepped into the ring, but apart from a deep scowl he didn't seem to pay it any mind. He simply waited for the bell to ring and then got to work. He savagely pummeled Jones and battered him like Jones owed him money. Hard punches and knee shots beat down Jones, and it was a nasty over the shoulder neckbreaker put him away. A dominant win in his return, but it remains to be seen if Miller will be able to find his place in the new PCW. Interview : Frank Bonnema stands in the ring Bonnema : Ladies and gentlemen, my next guests are no strangers to my interview segment … the Brigade! The crowd cheers enthusiastically as the beloved trio head to the ring. Windham and Rotunda are all smiles as they soak up the adulation of the fans, and while Simmons has his trademark stoic demeanor, he took time to shake hands and high five the young fans who reached out to him. Bonnema : Mike Rotunda, quite often when I have spoken to the Brigade, you have had to talk out some sort of trouble. But right now, you are on quite the high. Rotunda : That's right, Frank. We promised that 1986 would be the year that the Brigade breaks out, and I feel we are delivering. Tony Atlas and Larry Cameron are tough customers and gave Barry and I the fight of our lives, but we gave it our all and came out on top. And Ron here has just been storming through every wrestler they have put in front of him. It's not ego speaking when I say we are on the verge of big things. But it's a bittersweet moment for the Brigade. As you can see, there are some faces missing. Tom Zenk and Al Perez have accepted new opportunities and are moving on from the Brigade. Tom is headed to Montreal and Al will be calling Texas his new home. They brought gold, glory and good times to the Brigade. They are great guys and great friends, no matter where they go, and we wish them the best. But , as the old saying goes, when one door closes, another door opens. We are bringing two new members into the Brigade, and we are sure the fans will love them as much as they loved Tom and Al. The first will be the first Canadian member of the Brigade. *a cheer goes up from the Victoria fans* He can do things that will amaze all of the PCW viewers. From Winnipeg, Manitoba … "Megaman" Tom Magee! The crowd cheers on the handsome, well sculpted youngster as he heads out, then gasps in amazement as he goes up top and backflips into the ring. He joins the Brigade among high fives and hugs. Rotunda : The next new member is someone we have been wanting to work with for a long time. He's a big hoss, one of the strongest men in wrestling, and we are so glad to have him in the Brigade. From Chuluota, Florida … "Gator" Scott Hall! Again, the fans warmly great the newest member of the Brigade, who takes a moment to flex before joining his teammates in the ring. Hall : Frank Bonnema, Tom and I are psyched to be here ! There is nowhere better to wrestle than Pacific Coast Wrestling, and no group I would rather be with than the Brigade. The Brigade is breaking out, and the Megaman and the Gator are going to be a big part of that! Stan Hansen vs. Peter Fiegehen The Mad Man from Borger was in an even more surly mood than usual as he charged out to the ring. Clearly furious at his recent loss at the hands of Nick Busick at Aloha Spectacular, he didn't even wait for the bell to ring, instead just grabbing Fiegehen and slugging him hard in the face. The poor rookie was knocked from pillar to post by Hansen before being finished off with a massive lariat. But that was not enough for Hansen, who picked up Fiegehen after the ref counted to three, whipped him into the ropes, and nailed him with another lariat. The ref told him to head back to the locker room, and Hansen looked like he was about to punch him before he grabbed his bullrope and left. It was this sort of behaviour that got Hansen kicked out of PCW the first time, and he had best watch his step if he doesn't want a repeat. Shane Douglas vs. Chris Candido A couple of weeks ago, it was interference from Chris Candido that led to a loss for Douglas at the hands of the Hollywood Knights. Looking for revenge, young Douglas demanded this match with the youngest member of the Knights. Candido came out alone, with none of the other Hollywood Knights by his side, so Douglas came out on his own as well. In spite of his reputation for stalling and ill temper, Candido immediately locked up with Douglas, then swiftly took him down with an arm drag. Douglas was able to rapidly recover and came back with a dropkick that knocked down Candido. The two got down to it in a very fast paced match that got the fans up and roaring with every big move. At different points, it looked like either man might take it, but when Douglas took down Candido with a powerslam and headed to the corner for a high flying move, it looked like he would take the day. But that was when things took a strange turn. While the ref had his back turned and was checking on Candido, a man in a hooded sweatshirt came out of the crowd, leapt up on the ring apron and pulled Douglas down throat first onto the top rope. Douglas staggered back, and when Candido had recovered, he grabbed Douglas and hit a piledriver that got him the pinfall. The mystery man came into the ring and pulled down his hood. It was Todd Morton! Douglas' former partner in the Gold Exchange had not been seen in over a month since going out on a stretcher. Now he ran into the ring and started putting the boots to Douglas until Steve Blackman and Leo Burke raced out and ran them off. Why has Morton returned and what possessed him to betray his one time partner? Pacific Television Title Match : Bob Orton © vs. Bam Bam Bigelow At Aloha Spectacular, Orton went the distance with Dave Taylor, just barely coming out with his television title intact. A lot has changed in the week since then. His partners, Manny Fernandez and Grizzly Boone of Cabin Fever, have lost the Pacific Tag Team Titles and left the territory, and the Cowboy stands as the last remaining member of the Crazy Gang. He came out alone to face the Beast From The East, and he certainly had his work cut out for him. The New Jersey fireball was coming off a big win at Aloha Spectacular, and was hungry for his first PCW gold. Orton was not about to go down without a fight, and the veteran managed to hit a lot of big shots on Bigelow. But he was not able to knock him off his feet, and any attempts to get him up for the Superplex were stymied by Bigelow's considerable size. Bigelow finally grabbed him by the shoulders and started hammering Orton with huge headbutts. Orton was on rubberleg street and Bigelow tossed him into the ropes then planted him with a crushing powerslam. To put the final stamp on the match, he went up top and hit the Nuclear Splash. One … two … THREE! Bigelow had won the Television title! His partners in the Five Man Army (Nick Busick, Leo Burke, Steve Blackman and Shane Douglas) all came out and congratulated him as the crowd roared their approval. After an exciting run in Pacific Coast Wrestling, at last, Bam Bam Bigelow was now a champion!

Stud Stable vs. The Fabs just seems like a natural fit. Funk vs. Rhodes is bound to be explosive. Gotta love the mask vs. mask feud.

Brilliant opening interview. Can't wait to see what you do with "Luscious" Lanny Poffo. Exciting main event, schmozz ending signalling the start of great things.
