Sid Vicious' last name is spelled Eudy.

Amazing card and Funk's victory was an epic capper. Can't wait to see what he does with the title.

Badd Company and The Dog Pound will be moving on to new challenges in the new year, but will be doing a bit of a victory lap while things get set up

Great to have you back, Sir Edger, and great to have you joining us, Superkix

Pacific Coast Wrestling show from the Victoria Memorial Arena, Victoria, on Pacific Super Cards, December 5th Larry Cameron vs. Mando Guerrero Cameron blocked an attempted German Suplex and countered with a leaping clothesline to get the win British Steel (Steven Regal & Robbie Brookside) vs. Jimmy Del Ray & Gary Young Randy Rose was at ringside for the Hollywood Vice Squad and liberally interfered in the match. He tripped Regal coming off the ropes, leaving him vulnerable for a knee shot to the head from Young that got the tainted victory. Bam Bam Bigelow vs. Ron Starr Bigelow won with a slingshot splash. Tellingly, Bigelow came out alone, without Nick Busick or Leo Burke. The Great Kabuki vs. Chris Adams An intense and brutal match between two hated rivals that ended when Adams managed to hit the Supekick and score the pinfall. Mike Rotundo, Al Perez & ?? vs. Jake Roberts, Nord The Barbarian & Waylon Mercy Roberts and his crew were all laughs and sneering derision as they came out to the ring, confident that they could easily take out anyone Rotunda and Perez brought in as a partner. This turned into outright mockery as Rotunda and Perez came out alone. But Rotunda looked confident and Perez was clearly ready to follow his lead, and the two were not intimidated by the Snakepit. Roberts' mockery turned to puzzlement as the arena PA started to play "La Grange" by ZZ Top, then turned to shock and panic when the ring announcer introduced … from Sweetwater, Texas … BARRY WINDHAM!!! The Snakepit immediately started scrambling when the blonde second-generation superstar rushed out, and tried to jump the other members of the Brigade before they could get to full strength. But Rotundo and Perez were having none of it, holding their own against the Snakepit until Windham joined them in the ring and decisively turned the tide. Roberts did everything he could to stay out of the ring and let Nord and Mercy do the fighting for him. But the Brigade forced him into the ring and proceeded to take out all of their frustrations on him. When Windham came off the top rope with a flying lariat that looked like it might just take Roberts' head off, that was it for the Snakepit. The Brigade had won the match and gotten some much needed revenge. Pacific Tag Team Title Match : Cabin Fever (Manny Fernandez & Grizzly Boone) © vs. Buddy Rose & Doug Somers At San Diego Battleground, Cabin Fever took the Pacific Tag Team Titles in decisive fashion, and while doing so, sent Billy Jack Haynes out on a stretcher. Haynes hasn't been seen since, so Buddy Rose brought in his Playboy Club partner Doug Somers to take back the titles. Rose and Somers are former champions as a team, and did everything they could to keep the new champions off balance. But Cabin Fever couldn't be held off for long, and came raging back, focusing a lot of their attacks on Somers. The action spilled out onto the floor, where Boone grabbed Somers and hit a powerslam into the corner, driving the Pretty Boy's back hard into the post. Somers was in agony as Boone then slammed him onto the floor, and was not able to make it back into the ring for the ten count, giving a countout victory to the champs. Somers had to be helped to the back after the match. It looks like Buddy Rose is starting to run out of allies, and possibly run out of time. Pacific Heavyweight Title Match : Eddie Gilbert © vs. Don Muraco Having withstood a challenge from Jimmy Snuka, Gilbert now must defend his title against the other half of the Pacific Warlords, Don Muraco. Gilbert certainly had his work cut out for him as the Magnificent One towered over him, and Hot Stuff wisely decided to Stick & Move with Muraco, hitting rapid fire punches and kicks to the leg before dodging out of the way. Muraco was able to hit some hard shots and slams on Gilbert and certainly made them count, but the resilient champion was always able to bounce back and keep up his attack. His efforts paid off when he was able to get Muraco down and trap him in a Figure Four Leglock. He did a lot of damage until Muraco was able to make it to the ropes. Muraco was able to battle back and get Gilbert set up for the belly to belly piledriver, but his battered leg couldn't take the strain and he tipped over to the mat with Gilbert on top. Gilbert then went up to the second turnbuckle and hit a kneedrop to Muraco's sternum that got the three count. A tough challenge for Gilbert, but one where he was ultimately triumphant.

Pacific Wrestling Showcase from the Pacific Coliseum, Vancouver, on ESPN / TSN, December 4th Tracy Smothers vs. Max Dawson After his betrayal of Steve Armstrong at San Diego Battleground, Tracy Smothers was greeted with a less than welcome response from the crowd as he made his way to the ring, not that you could tell from his broad smile. Occasionally , the façade would slip and he would snap at a fan who got too vociferous with their jeering, but the most part he kept a disingenuous grin plastered on his face as he easily dominated the rookie Dawson. He continued his false good cheer after polishing him off with the Jawjacker, but the fans were having none of it. Smothers can look forward to more hostile greetings after his turn to the dark. Nick Busick & Bam Bam Bigelow vs. Waylon Mercy & Nord The Barbarian Lately, there has been static between partners Busick and Bigelow, a situation which Jake Roberts has eagerly exploited. The Snake was in the corner of his men Mercy and Nord as they took on Nick and Bam Bam, but had to watch as his team struggled to make headway against the two power houses. It got to the point where all four men were slugging it out in the ring, and that was when Roberts decided to strike. Busick was trying to come off the ropes with a clothesline on Mercy, but Roberts yanked down the top rope, causing Busick to tumble to the outside. Roberts then swiftly grabbed Busick and drove him hard headfirst into the ringsteps. Roberts quickly scuttled away as Busick lay unconscious on the floor, while his men double teamed Bigelow. The Beast From The East was able to break away to attempt to tag out, but was distraught to find his partner was not in his corner. Their mentor, Leo Burke, soon rushed to ringside to help Busick to his feet, but when Bigelow saw this, he got even more upset that he had been left on his own. Mercy and Nord took advantage of this distraction to take him down with a double clothesline from behind, and Nord followed up with a running kneedrop for the three count. After the match, Burke and a dazed Busick got in the ring to help up Bigelow, but Bam Bam was furious with them. They tried to explain what happened, but Bigelow would hear none of it, and stalked off on his own. Could this be a permanent split between Bigelow and Busick? Interview : Frank Bonnema stands in the ring Bonnema : Folks, my next guests have taken a fair number of blows lately … Mike Rotunda and Al Perez, the Brigade! The fans cheer the two Brigade members as they head to the ring, but they don't seem to notice. Rotunda was looking furious and Perez seemed unusually subdued, his normally smiling face downcast and despondent. Bonnema : Mike Rotunda, not wanting to rub things in, but the Brigade has taken quite a tumble since its early promise. First, Terry Taylor turns his back on you. Then Dan Spivey changes his name to Mike Rotunda and betrays you to join up with Jake Roberts. Now doctors are saying that Tom Zenk will be out for at least a couple more weeks from his injuries due to the Snake's ambush. I hate to say it, but … is there any way that the Brigade can come back from this? Rotunda : Frank, I know things look bad for the Brigade, but we are determined to come back. We've taken some shots, that's for sure. But we won't give up, no matter what. We are going to take on the Snakepit tomorrow night, and even though the odds are stacked against us, we will find some way to make them pay their dues. He gets cut off by Al Perez, who has an absolutely hopeless look on his face. Perez : Mike, brother … I just don't know. You've seen what the Snake can do. He put Tommy on the shelf. He's got Bigelow and Busick at each other's throats. There's just two of us. I just … I just don't think we can overcome those numbers. Rotunda is shocked and closes his eyes, lost in thought. Then he suddenly snaps his fingers and opens his eyes. Rotunda : Al , I've got it. Do you trust me? Perez : You know I trust you, brother. Rotunda : Well, I know someone who will help. I'm going to make a call, and *chuckling to himself* Jake Roberts is going to regret crossing us. Perez follows Rotunda out of the ring, while Frank Bonnema and the fans wonder just what he has up his sleeve. Steven Regal vs. Gary Young "Gorgeous" Gary Young has made quite an impression since arriving in PCW and joining the Hollywood Vice Squad. He and the rest of the squad caused Texas Red to lose the Television Title , and the popular Texan hasn't been seen since. In his match with one half of British Steel, he had both Randy Rose and Jimmy Del Ray from the Squad in his corners, and they provided plentiful distraction in the match as Young worked in every cheap shot he could. The considerable technical skills of the young Englishman were quite the equalizer, though, and Regal looked like he was set to lock Young in the Regal Stretch (modified STF) when he was attacked by Rose and Del Ray, leading to a DQ. Regal's partner, Robbie Brookside, rushed to the ring to help him, but it was still 3 against 2, and the Hollywood Vice Squad got their licks in before they were run off by PCW security. The Vice Squad, like many groups in PCW, are taking the Strength In Numbers approach, and something needs to be done about that. Pacific Heavyweight Title Match : Eddie Gilbert © vs. Jimmy Snuka Gilbert is fresh from his victorious campaign to take the Pacific Heavyweight Title from his good friend Ricky Steamboat, and certainly couldn't ask for a tougher first challenger. The always dangerous Superfly was clearly gunning to bring the Heavyweight Title to the Pacific Warlords and went full throttle at the champion. It led to quite the battle, as Hot Stuff dug in his heels to withstand the attacks by Snuka and rally for his own counter attack. The momentum of the match went back and forth, keeping the fans on the edge of their seats, until Snuka hit a running crossbody press, only for Gilbert to counter with a rollover that got the one two three. A successful first defense, but you know that the challengers are all lining up for their shot at the champ.

This sounds AMAZING!

If you are interested, I would love to have you come back aboard.

PCW sends Ricky Steamboat to the NWA in exchange for Barry Windham.

Pacific Coast Wrestling San Diego Battleground from the San Diego Sports Arena, November 26th The Great Kabuki & The Great Muta vs. The Hart Foundation These two factions had been battling for several weeks in increasingly heated matches, and that carried into this match. Although both teams could boast considerable technical skills, that seemed to go out the window early on in favour of knock down, drag out brawling. The ref did his best to maintain some semblance of control, but when he tried to get between Muta and Bret Hart, Muta grabbed him by both shoulders and sprayed him full in the face with the green mist. Once the ref recovered, he called for the DQ and the Harts scattered, but Kabuki stood in the ring, staring at his son. After a while, he shook his head and walked away from him, while Muta eventually left in the opposite direction, leaving behind a shocked looking Missy Hyatt. Ed Wiskowski & Doug Somers vs. Jimmy Del Ray & Randy Rose The Hollywood Vice Squad have been nursing a grudge against the Playboy Club ever since Buddy Rose and Billy Jack Haynes took the Pacific Tag Team Titles from them. This time out, it would be Buddy Rose's top lieutenants, Wiskowski and Somers, squaring off against Jimmy Del Ray and Randy Rose, who were joined at ringside by the latest member of the Vice Squad, "Gorgeous" Gary Young. Although Young loudly supported his cohorts outside, he did not get directly involved in the match, and the two teams had an evenly matched affair that could have gone either way, but Wiskowski pulled it out for his team when he caught Randy Rose coming off the ropes with a kneelift to the midsection, followed by a face first piledriver for the win. Del Ray and Rose were looking to try and get some payback after the match, but Young could be heard telling them that they would have a better chance to strike later. Stay tuned for more developments. Mike Rotunda & Tom Zenk vs. Waylon Mercy & Nord The Barbarian Ever since the former Dan Spivey turned his back on the Brigade and took on his Waylon Mercy persona, he has been firmly in the camp of Jake "The Snake" Roberts. Ever since, The Snake has been a sinister presence at all of Mercy's matches, including this one. Although Rotunda and Zenk were outsized by Mercy and Nord, they gave a very good accounting of themselves, maintaining the advantage in much of the match. Deciding to take matters into his own hands, Roberts ambushed Zenk, yanking him off the ring apron and driving him head first into the ringsteps. Nord swiftly followed up in devastating fashion by leaping out of the ring and landing on Zenk, knees first to the chest. Zenk was in agony and in no shape to continue in the match, and though Rotunda did his best, he could not overcome the overwhelming odds and went down to a DDT from Mercy. Can anything stop Jake Roberts' reign of terror? The Thundercats (Too Cold Scorpio & Norman Smiley) vs. Flamboyance (Lanny Poffo & Ron Starr) The Thundercats' fortunes took a bit of a dip after they lost the Golden State Tag Titles to the Guerrero Brothers, but they have been steadily climbing back into contention with a series of hard fought wins. In facing the more experienced members of Flamboyance, they certainly proved their mettle, matching Starr and Poffo move for move and not taking a single backward step. Smiley was able to catch Starr in a belly to belly suplex and hold him down for the three count. An impressive win for the Thundercats, who may well be challenging again soon for one of the tag titles. Brutus Beefcake & The Southern Boys vs. The Freebirds The Southern Boys have been having a lot of difficulties lately, but this was where they finally came to a boil. They seemed to be getting along for most of the match, working well with Beefcake to fight the men from Badstreet. But things all exploded when all 6 men were brawling in the ring. Steve Armstrong was trading blows with Michael Hayes when Tracy Smothers came off the top rope … and nailed Armstrong with the Jawjacker! The fans were in shock but Smothers seemed unduly pleased with himself as he left the ring and abandoned Armstrong to his fate. While Terry Gordy and Buddy Jack Roberts dogpiled on Brutus Beefcake, Michael Hayes hit a running bulldog on the unconscious Armstrong and got the pinfall. It looks like the Southern Boys have split for good. Street Fight : Badd Company vs. The Dog Pound These two teams have been warring for quite some time and tonight there would be nothing holding things back, with no time limit, no countouts and no disqualifications. Both teams threw everything but the kitchen sink at each other and all four men were a bloody mess by the end. That end came when Brian Knobbs brought a steel chair into the ring, with intent to use it on Pat Tanaka. But Tanaka thrust kicked the chair into Knobbs' face, and Paul Diamond immediately followed that up with a German Suplex that kept Knobbs' shoulders to the mat for the three count. A hard fought victory for Badd Company, and they and Missy Hyatt got a roar of approval from the crowd for their efforts. Golden State Tag Team Title Match : Chavo & Hector Guerrero © vs. British Steel (Steven Regal & Robbie Brookside) Regal and Brookside are one of the most exciting duos in wrestling today, and the young Englishmen have kept the fans spellbound with their chase for the Golden State Tag Team Titles. In this match, they were going full speed against the Guerreros, and the crowd gasped at a number of occasions when it seemed like they just might pull off the victory. It seemed that the titles were finally within their grasp when Regal caught Hector in the Regal-Plex (modified cradle suplex). Alas, it was not to be, as the ref was escorting Brookside from the ring at that point, allowing Chavo to break up the pin with a running senton on Regal. By the time the ref turned around, Hector was covering Regal with a double leg takedown, and he made the three count, keeping the titles in the hands of the brothers. A disappointing loss, but the fans still cheered on British Steel, assuring them that their day would soon come. Submission Match for the California Title : Al Perez © vs. Mr. Hito The Latin Heartthrob fought long and hard to win the California Title , earning the admiration and respect of the fans. Since he became champion, his most persistent challenger has been Mr. Hito. While Perez has managed to keep his challenge at bay, the tough as nails Japanese veteran has been relentless in coming after him, leading to this match where the only way out is to surrender. Perez used his considerable technical skills to take Hito to the mat, working to try to get him in place for an armlock. But the canny Hito knew a plethora of ways to escape Perez's traps, and kept breaking free to tenderize him with blistering kicks and chops before going for his own submission holds. Perez managed to endure these attacks but it was a close thing. Perez was finally able to hoist Hito up and hit the Ally-Copter. He swiftly followed up with the Japanese Armbreaker (Wakigatame) in the middle of the ring. Try though he might, Hito could not make it to the ropes, and had no choice but to give up the match. If there was any doubt before of Perez as champion, he has certainly proved with this match that he is the real deal. Pacific Television Title Match : Texas Red © vs. Bob Orton In the time since he won the Television Title, Texas Red has had a truly epic title range, seeing off a variety of contenders with seeming ease. But of late, the cracks have been starting to show. A series of matches with various members of the Crazy Gang have taken a heavy toll on the tall Texan. A recent dastardly attack by the Hollywood Vice Squad led to a leg injury, and he was showing the effects as he limped to the ring. "Cowboy" Bob Orton was smelling blood in the water and relentlessly went after the damaged leg at every chance he got. But Texas Red was not going to be easy pickings, and fought back determinedly. It seemed as though he just might pull it off as he lined up Orton for a big lariat. But the Hollywood Vice Squad had stealthily made their way to ringside, and when he came off the ropes, Randy Rose nailed him in the leg with a folded chair, just out of sight of the referee. Orton capitalized by clobbering him in the back of the head with a running elbow smash, and Red was dazed and staggering while Orton hammered him with blows. Orton finally hit his own lariat to keep him down for the one two three, and the Cowboy was now the new Television Champ, much to the disappointment of the fans. A sad end to the popular Texan's classic title run. Pacific Tag Team Title Match : Buddy Rose & Billy Jack Haynes © vs. Cabin Fever (Grizzly Boone & Manny Fernandez) Speaking of the Crazy Gang, Cabin Fever have been bulldozing their way through the competition, leaving behind a trail of battered bodies. The combination of Boone's size and power and Fernandez' intensity and viciousness has proven very difficult to beat. They have had a few shots at the titles so far, but thus far they had eluded them. Clearly aiming to make this shot count, they jumped Rose and Haynes before the bell, bloodying them and inflicting a lot of pain. But the oddly matched pair of champs were able to bounce back and rallied to make the challengers pay some dues for the dastardly early attack. It looked like they were able to overcome the odds and prevail when Haynes was about to pull off the seeming impossible and powerslam Boone. But Fernandez dove in and took Billy Jack's legs out with a clip, causing Boone to fall on top. One two three , and the Crazy Gang were the new champs. But that was not enough for Boone and Fernandez, who tossed Rose from the ring and beat down Haynes, dragging him outside and having Boone hit not one but two big splashes on the concrete. Haynes was devastated by this attack and was taken out on a stretcher. Now all three members of the Crazy Gang have titles and anyone looking to take them off them have their work cut out for them. The Final Battle – No Time-Limit Pacific Heavyweight Title Match : Ricky Steamboat © vs. Eddie Gilbert While the evening has had a lot of thrilling matches, this was clearly the one that the fans were most excited to see. The two good friends had already has several epic battles for the title, and the announcement that this would be Gilbert's last shot at the title only heightened the interest. The knowledge that this was his last chance to win the big belt clearly steeled Gilbert's resolve and he came out hot against Steamboat, not letting their friendship slow him down. Steamboat was initially taken aback by the blazing attack of Hot Stuff , but weathered out the storm and took back control with some of his trademark arm drags. He tried to wear down Gilbert with a series of armlocks , but Gilbert fought like a tiger to escape. Gilbert managed to gain the advantage when he ducked under a Steamboat attack and counter with a clothesline, but no matter what he did to the Dragon, he kept on coming back. The match went deep and long, and towards the end both men were struggling to stand up, just laying into each other with punches and chops. Steamboat gave one last desperate attempt to put Gilbert away by coming off the ropes with a leaping karate chop. But Gilbert reflexively grabbed him around the waist and dropped him on the ropes with the Hot Shot. One … two … THREE!!!! Gilbert had pulled it off and won the Heavyweight Title! The crowd exploded in cheers and Missy Hyatt was in tears as she embraced her man. Steamboat, in a display of good sportsmanship, put the title belt around Gilbert's waist and raised his arm, and the two friends hugged in the ring, seeming to hold each other up after an epic and exhausting match. I am sure Gilbert will prove to be a great champion for a new era of Pacific Coast Wrestling.

Pacific Wrestling Showcase Battleground Countdown Show from the Portland Sports Arena, November 20th The Southern Boys vs. Michael Hayes & Buddy Jack Roberts Tracy Smothers and Steve Armstrong have had a lot of difficulty seeing eye to eye of late. Smothers has been to blame for much of it, but Armstrong's increasing sense of frustration with his partner has certainly not been helping things. In this match with the Freebirds, they seemed to keep it together for the most part, tagging in and out and hitting some impressive double teams. But things seemed to fall apart at the end, when all four men started slugging it out. Armstrong had caught Hayes in a rollup, but Hayes reversed it with a fistful of trunks. Smothers had just dumped Buddy Jack to the outside, but when he saw Hayes pinning Armstrong, he just shrugged and did nothing to break up the pinfall. The Freebirds got the win and Smothers simply strolled away from the ring. Not a good omen of things to come. Pacific Light Heavyweight Title Match : Too Cold Scorpio © vs. Lanny Poffo The Thundercats and Flamboyance are scheduled for a tag team match at San Diego Battleground, but tonight Lanny Poffo gets a rematch to try to win back the Light Heavyweight Title. He certainly went all out, with an exciting and fast paced match that had the fans going throughout. Poffo finally slipped up when he went for a dropkick, but Scorpio caught himself on the ropes and Leaping Lanny hit nothing but air before crashing to the mat. Scorpio capitalized with a running elbow drop and followed up with a top rope legdrop that got the one two three. Scorpio has proved to be a more than capable champion and will now move on to new challengers. Buddy Rose vs. Grizzly Boone Grizzly Boone has ben waging a campaign of terror through PCW and, right before he and Manny Fernandez challenge for the Pacific Tag Belts, he and "Playboy" Buddy Rose would square off in a singles match. The Playboy certainly new better than to try and face the big mountain man head on, trying to dodge and weave while tiring out Boone. For the most part, his tactics were successful, keeping him mostly out of reach of Boone's offense. But when the big Grizzly did land, he made it count, unleashing some harsh punishment on Rose. Things eventually spilled outside, with the two slugging it out until the bell rang for a double countout. Rose made it through this one, but he and Haynes will have to face both members of Cabin Fever at San Diego Battleground. Pacific Television Title Match : Texas Red © vs. Jimmy Del Ray While Texas Red has been mostly focused on his upcoming TV Title defense against "Cowboy" Bob Orton, the Hollywood Vice Squad have been seeking vengeance on him after he sent "Hollywood" John Tatum out of PCW with a Heart Punch. Randy Rose was in Del Ray's corner for this match, but Texas Red paid him no mind. That said, Red was looking a bit slower from some punishing matches with various members of the Crazy Gang. Jimmy Del Ray exploited this and was able to get some good shots in on the champ and get him in some pinning predicaments. Texas Red rallied , though , and started nailing his trademark big moves on Del Ray. This prompted Randy Rose to enter the fray, but Red caught him by the throat, and for a moment, he had both members of the Hollywood Vice Squad at his mercy, of which he has none. Then, out of nowhere, somebody charged into the ring and viciously clipped his knee from behind, taking him down. He and the Vice Squad then started savagely attacking his knee while the ref called for the DQ. It was "Gorgeous" Gary Young!!! He was making his PCW debut by joining the Hollywood Vice Squad. The three men kept on ganging up on the downed champion until the members of British Steel rushed to the ring, causing them to scatter. Steven Regal and Robbie Brookside helped Texas Red from the ring, but he was visibly limping as he headed back to the locker room. Things aren't looking good for the champ going into San Diego Battleground. Pacific Heavyweight Title Match : Ricky Steamboat © vs. Don Muraco Steamboat is heading into the biggest match of his time in Pacific Coast Wrestling, but tonight he must first survive the challenge of one of his biggest rivals, "The Magnificent One" himself, Don Muraco. The big Hawaiian was determined to grab the title for himself, and put the champ through the wringer with his crushing power offense. Steamboat maintained his poise and was soon firing back, taking Muraco over with some armdrags and doing everything he could to shut him down. This was an epic struggle, with Muraco doing everything he could to beat the champ. In the end, Steamboat was able to get to the top rope and his a flying cross body press to score the pinfall. Steamboat has a lot of momentum going into San Diego Battleground, but will it be enough to finally put down the challenge of "Hot Stuff" Eddie Gilbert?

Pacific Coast Wrestling show from the Kelowna Memorial Arena, Kelowna, November 1st British Steel (Steven Regal & Robbie Brookside) vs. Flamboyance (Lanny Poffo & Ron Starr) Regal caught Starr in the Regal Suplex (modified cradle suplex) to give the win to British Steel Bob Orton vs. Doug Somers Orton won with a Superplex Mike Rotunda & Tom Zenk vs. The Dog Pound (Brian Knobbs & Rick Steiner) These two teams went at it, fist and fire, and the Dog Pound proved hard to put down, but in the end, Rotunda scored the victory for the Brigade after catching Steiner with a Samoan Drop Bam Bam Bigelow & Nick Busick vs. Jimmy Del Ray & Randy Rose Although relations between Bigelow and Busick seemed a bit frosty, they still prevailed over the Hollywood Vice Squad after Bigelow hit the Slingshot Splash on Rose Golden State Tag Team Title Match : Chavo & Hector Guerrero © vs. The Thundercats (Too Cold Scorpio & Norman Smiley) The Thundercats really gave the champs a run for their money, but Chavo was ultimately able to take down Smiley with a German Suplex and hold onto the titles Pacific Tag Team Title Match : Billy Jack Haynes & Buddy Rose © vs. The Pacific Warlords (Don Muraco & Jimmy Snuka) The champions had really been put through the wringer the night before, and the Warlords sought to take advantage of that. For a while, it looked like they might pull it off, but the champs held on with grit and determination, and Haynes caught Snuka coming off the ropes with a powerslam that was just barely able to hold him down for the three count. Pacific Television Title Match : Texas Red © vs. Manny Fernandez Also feeling the effects of the previous night was Texas Red, and Manny Fernandez was certainly not about to go easy on him. Both men were busted open during this match, but a weary Texas Red put him down with a desperation chokeslam to score the one two three

Pacific Coast Wrestling show from the Victoria Memorial Arena, Victoria, on Pacific Super Cards, October 31st The Great Kabuki & The Great Muta vs. The Hart Foundation Kabuki and Muta took down Neidhart with a double thrust kick to the jaw Brutus Beefcake vs. Waylon Mercy Mercy pinned Beefcake after a DDT The Thundercats (Too Cold Scorpio & Norman Smiley) vs. Flamboyance (Lanny Poffo & Ron Starr) Smiley made Poffo surrender to the Norman Conquest (Cross Face Chicken Wing) Larry Cameron vs. Terry Taylor Cameron won with the Harlem Hammer (running double axehandle to the back of the head and neck) Billy Jack Haynes, Buddy Rose & Texas Red vs. The Crazy Gang (Bob Orton, Grizzly Boone & Manny Fernandez) A chaotic bout that started with the Crazy Gang ambushing Texas Red and Grizzly Boone crushing him with a running splash on the concrete. It was quite a while before Texas Red was able to make his way back into the match and, even then, he was in a lot of pain throughout. The Crazy Gang pressed their advantage until Orton caught Rose in a huge lariat to get the pinfall. Pacific Heavyweight Title Match : Ricky Steamboat © vs. Chris Adams Adams was coming in hot from the previous night's tag match and went in hard on Steamboat. He might have been living off his reputation for dirty tricks for the past while, but Adams is and incredibly skilled wrestler, and he and Steamboat had one for the ages. Steamboat found himself in a number of dangerous predicaments at a number of points in the match, but always figured a way out, and Adams was never able to fully land the Superkick before the bell rang signaling a 30 minute time limit draw. Adams kept bumping chests after the match with Steamboat, daring him to keep the match going, but the PCW officials eventually separated the two.

Pacific Wrestling Showcase from the Pacific Coliseum, Vancouver, on ESPN / TSN, October 30th The Southern Boys vs. Flamboyance (Lanny Poffo & Ron Starr) The Southern Boys really don't seem to be on the same page lately. Tracy Smothers has either been completely monopolizing their matches or standing idle on the ring apron and leaving Steve Armstrong to fend for himself. In this match with Flamboyance, it seemed to be much of the former, with Smothers continually shaking off attempted tags and telling Armstrong that he had the match well in hand. Eventually, Armstrong got so fed up with Smothers that he got in his face and started shouting at each him. Smothers responded with a shrug and tagged into the match, and from there on, they seemed to be their normal selves, tagging in and out and hitting their trademark combination moves. That is, until the end, when Armstrong was facing off with Poffo and, out of nowhere, Smothers came off the top with the Jawjacker on Lanny Poffo. A confused Armstrong still made the cover for the win, but even though Smothers was all smiles after the match, Armstrong was clearly livid with his partner. Tom Zenk vs. Jake Roberts The Snake and his crew have been waging a war on two fronts these days. On one side, they have been battling Bam Bam Bigelow and Nick Busick, to the extent of stirring up friction between the two partners. On the other side, they have fought with the young men of the Brigade. A dangerous game, but one they have been successful at so far, using subterfuge to keep both factions in confusion, never knowing what is coming next. Zenk was taking no chances, bringing out his Brigade brothers Mike Rotunda and Al Perez to counter Waylon Mercy and Nord The Barbarian. Roberts seemed quite annoyed at this, and looked determined to punish Zenk for daring to bring out backup, opening up with an eye gouge and working in plentiful cheap shots from there. But Zenk quickly recovered and seemed to be one step ahead of the Snake , able to shut down his offense with dropkicks and bouncing him all over the ring. He managed to trap Roberts in a Sleeper Hold, but Nord and Mercy charged into the ring to break it up, leading to a DQ win for Zenk. Perez and Rotunda swiftly leapt into the fray and ran the Snakepit off, but Roberts left swearing that he was going to make Zenk pay. The Great Muta vs. Bret Hart These two squared off a few weeks ago in a match that ended in DQ caused by the return of Jim Neidhart. This time out, Muta was backed up by his father , the Great Muta, as well as Missy Hyatt, while Hart was accompanied by Neidhart and his manager, Gary Hart. Kabuki clearly had his eye on Neidhart throughout the match, determined to shut down any attempt at interference before it happened . This came to a head when Neidhart tried to climb into the ring, but was pulled out by Kabuki. As the two slugged it out, Missy Hyatt and Gary Hart let their feelings be known from the sidelines. As the ref went over to try to break that up, Bret Hart tried to take advantage of the distraction by attacking Muta with a set of brass knuckles that Gary Hart had handed him earlier, but was met with a face full of the green mist from Muta. Muta then hit the blinded Hart with a spin kick and got the one two three. Missy seemed shocked at the tactics Muta used to get the victory, but Kabuki was stoic as he led his son from the ring. Pacific Television Title Match : Texas Red © vs. Grizzly Boone Before the match, PCW Commissioner Dutch Savage announced that, due to the excessive interference in the previous two matches, any other members of the Crazy Gang were banned from ringside for this match. While Boone might not have had Bob Orton or Manny Fernandez in his corner, the big mountain man was not intimidated by the champ, and managed to do a lot of damage to the popular Texan. While Red has been a very dominant champion in his long reign, he was facing someone much too big and powerful for a lot of his power offense. Things spilled to the outside and Boone attempted an avalanche on Red in the corner, but Texas Red was able to dodge out of the way and Boone went hard into the ringpost. Red was able to make it back into the ring and win by countout. He had successfully defended his title, but seemed much the worse for wear from the effort. Ricky Steamboat & Eddie Gilbert vs. Chris Adams & Terry Taylor While Steamboat and Gilbert are scheduled for a big showdown for the Pacific Heavyweight Title at San Diego Battleground , they were still firm friends and allies as they took on Adams and Taylor. Steamboat knew he was going to be facing Adams in an upcoming title match, and Gilbert was someone he could trust to watch his back. Adams was extremely aggressive in this match, taking Steamboat down with some high impact throws and suplexes as well as coming close on a number of occasions to landing the dreaded Superkick. But Steamboat was right to trust Gilbert, who broke up a number of possible double teams and eagerly jumped into the fray any chance he could. It ultimately came down to Taylor attempting the Fivearm on Steamboat, which Steamboat cut off with a running cross body that just barely got the three count. They had pulled out the victory, but Adams clearly had his eye on Steamboat.

Whoops, realized I messed up a couple of the matches, have now fixed them.

I get it I have a lot of relatives in my circuit going into the new year ... good ole fashioned family wrestling!

I had Ricky Gibson before and he went out from a Heart Punch by Texas Red. No one who takes his Heart Punch is ever seen in PCW again.

I don't know if it comes off in my writing, but Badd Company vs. The Dog Pound has become one of my favorite tag feuds I have going. It started off as a sort of random, "What do I do net with these guys?" pairing, but they wound up having great chemistry in my head, and I really look forward to any chance I can get for them to square off.

I just noticed that the AWA's 2nd round pick is showing as Chris Candido. Candido was one of my 1st round picks (listed correctly). The AWA's pick should be listed as Jeff Jarrett.

Consider it done, my next pick is Todd Morton and I am also done. Over to Gene and Scarlet.

Works for me.
