Vic Steamboat, sorry for the delay

Texas All Star is up, followed by WWF.

Replacing Jim Powers with Jim Powers?

Ouch, was hoping no one else would be looking at Doug Gilbert. Oh well.

Rick Gantner AKA Bull Pain

Pacific Coast Wrestling Show from the UCSB Event Center, Santa Barbara, October 25th Leo Burke vs. Terry Taylor Taylor won with the Fivearm The Thundercats (Too Cold Scorpio & Norman Smiley) vs. Flamboyance (Lanny Poffo & Ron Starr) Smiley pinned Starr after a rollup out of the corner Nick Busick & Bam Bam Bigelow vs. Waylon Mercy & Nord The Barbarian This was a wild match with all four men in the ring at a number of occasions. During one such instances, Busick was about to come off the ropes, but Jake Roberts pulled down the top rope, sending Busick tumbling to the outside. Mercy and Nord double teamed Bigelow, but when Bam Bam broke free and went for a tag, Busick was not in the corner, and Nord blindsided the Beast From The East with a boot to the head. Nord followed up with a running kneedrop for the pinfall. After the match, Bigelow was clearly upset with Busick Larry Cameron vs. Jimmy Del Ray Cameron took down Del Ray with a leaping clothesline for the victory Golden State Tag Team Title Match : Chavo & Hector Guerrero © vs. British Steel (Steven Regal & Robbie Brookside) British Steel went all out in their attempts to finally take the Golden State Tag Team Titles , and came close on several occasions to pull out the win, but Hector was eventually able catch Regal in the Guerrero Clutch and score the pinfall The Brigade (Mike Rotunda, Al Perez & Tom Zenk) vs. The Freebirds In what some consider a major upset, Rotunda surprised Hayes with a Samoan Drop and get the one two three. After the match, the Brigade were jubilant at their win over the men from Badstreet, USA, as were the fans.

Pacific Coast Wrestling show from the LA Sports Arena, Los Angeles, on ESPN / TSN Pacific Super Cards, October 24th Badd Company vs. The Dog Pound (Brian Knobbs & Rick Steiner) Another wild, knock down, drag out fight between these two teams where Knobbs was going for a power slam on Tanaka, but Diamond dropkicked them over with Tanaka on top to get the win for Badd Company Brutus Beefcake, The Great Muta & The Great Kabuki vs. Chris Adams & The Hart Foundation Adams hit a sneak attack Superkick to the back of Kabuki's head to score the pinfall for his team "Crusher" Jerry Blackwell vs. Randy Rose Blackwell won with a powerslam Texas Red & The Southern Boys vs. The Crazy Gang (Bob Orton, Manny Fernandez & Grizzly Boone) Orton executed a Superplex on Armstrong, followed by a running splash by Boone for the victory. Smothers remained on the ring apron for the entire match Pacific Tag Team Title Match : Billy Jack Haynes & Buddy Rose © vs. The Pacific Warlords (Don Muraco & Jimmy Snuka) Snuka had Rose lined up for the Superfly Splash, but Rose got his knees up and Snuka landed hard. Rose was then able to execute the Inside Out Backbreaker to successfully defend their titles Pacific Heavyweight Title Match : Ricky Steamboat © vs. Eddie Gilbert Although these two men are good friends, that has not diminished the intensity of their matches for the Pacific Heavyweight Title. This started out with an exchange of holds and matwork, but little by little, both men got more aggressive, with Gilbert determined he was a worthy contender to the title and Steamboat equally determined to maintain his grip on the title. The fans were spellbound as the two had an epic battle for the belt, with it seeming at many points like the title could change hands. Gilbert tried to put Steamboat away with a figure four leglock, but Steamboat countered with an inside cradle. Gilbert reversed it with his own inside cradle but only got a two count, and right after that the ring bell sounded, signaling a 60 minute time limit draw. Both men were exhausted but helped each other up and shook hands as the fans gave them and the match a standing ovation.

Pacific Wrestling Showcase from the Olympic Auditorium , Los Angeles , on ESPN / TSN, October 23rd Doug Somers vs. Waylon Mercy After a fashion, Somers is partly responsible for Mercy's reign of terror in PCW, as it was the taunting of the Playboy Club that led to the man then known as Dan Spivey to turn to his Mercy persona. Whether Mercy was looking for revenge in this match or just acting out his own sadistic nature, he certainly seemed to be enjoying himself as he had a sly grin on his face as he took Somers apart. The Pretty Boy did his best but just couldn't make a dent in the huge madman. Mercy planted him to the mat with a DDT and put his foot on Somers' chest for the cover. A decisive victory that Mercy clearly relished. Brutus Beefcake vs. Bob Orton Although Orton may have recently lost the California Title, he has not let that slow down his ambitions, and he has let it be known that he is aiming for the Pacific Television Title, currently held by Texas Red. Looking to stake his claim at a title shot, he clearly sought to make short work of Brutus Beefcake. But Beefcake was no pushover, bouncing back after Orton's initial flurry of offense and retaliating with his high impact power offense. Things swung back and forth until Orton unleashed a huge lariat that was finally able to put Beefcake down for good. A hard fought win that cemented the Cowboy's position as a top contender. Nick Busick vs. Jake Roberts The man from Powerhouse Hill has been growing increasingly more angry with the Snake and his crew after several sneak attacks. He clearly was working out a lot of his pent up aggression as he finally had Jake Roberts in his sights. Although the Snake did his best to stall and avoid grappling Busick for as long as possible, Busick would not be denied and once he got his hands on Roberts, he unleashed a crushing series of slams and drops on him. Determined to make him pay for everything he had done to him, Busick locked Roberts in the Busick Bender (stump puller) , but before the Snake gave up, his allies Waylon Mercy and Nord The Barbarian charged out and attacked Busick, leading to a DQ win for him. The three didn't get a chance to do much damage as Leo Burke and Bam Bam Bigelow swiftly came to rescue Busick, but he was clearly furious, and I doubt we have seen the last of this feud. Street Fight : Billy Jack Haynes vs. Manny Fernandez Cabin Fever have been presenting a considerable challenge to the Pacific Tag Team Champs Billy Jack Haynes and Buddy Rose, leading to this Street Fight. The other members of the Crazy Gang were banned from ringside for this match, as were Buddy Rose and the rest of the Playboy Club, leading to a hard hitting one-on-one showdown with no rules and no holding back. Both men tore into each other and were a bloody mess by the end of the match, having thrown pretty much everything in their respective arsenals at each other. Billy Jack was ultimately able to catch Fernandez in a powerslam off the ropes to score the three count, but the Ragin' Bull had left his mark on him, and Cabin Fever remain a considerable threat to the Pacific Tag Team Champions. Ricky Steamboat & Eddie Gilbert vs. The Hart Foundation These two teams squared off a few weeks ago, with Jim Neidhart being hampered by a shoulder injury. This time, with Neidhart back to full strength, the Harts were determined to avenge their earlier loss. The result was a very intense tag battle, with the Hart Foundation unleashing their array of double team moves and sneak attacks against Steamboat and Gilbert, who fought back with their own blend of skill and resilience. The Hart Foundation came close on several occasions to taking the win, but Steamboat was eventually able to reverse a cross body by Hart with a rollover to get the three count. A hard fought win, but one that everything Hot Stuff and the Heavyweight Champ had to pull off.

Ed "The Bull" Gantner . The AWA is now up with 2 picks.

Clearly, MACW is investing in the future

My 2nd round pick of Brian Adams has not yet been updated on the board.

Brian Adams

Should have figured Furnas would be too good to last. WWF will be an excellent home for him. PCW takes Chris Candido.

Right here.

I had been just giving the names of made up tag teams when they were introduced and not afterwards, but from comments I realized that wasn't always clear for people reading later. Now, any time I mention something I made up, either a tag team or stable or finisher, I give clarification in parentheses.

Pacific Coast Wrestling show from the Selland Arena, Fresno , October 18th Mike Rotunda vs. Waylon Mercy Mercy was going for a DDT, but Rotunda blocked it then countered with a Samoan Drop for the pinfall Tom Zenk vs. Chris Adams Adams hit the Superkick for the win Nick Busick & Bam Bam Bigelow vs. The Pacific Warlords (Don Muraco & Jimmy Snuka) Bigelow pinned Snuka after the Slingshot Splash The Freebirds vs. The Thundercats (Too Cold Scorpio, Norman Smiley & Larry Cameron) Gordy scored the victory after a Piledriver on Scorpio The Great Kabuki & The Great Muta vs. The Hart Foundation Muta got the pinfall on Neidhart after a Moonsault Pacific Television Title Match : Texas Red © vs. Bob Orton Both men went to a 30 minute time limit draw Pacific Tag Team Title Match : Buddy Rose & Billy Jack Haynes © vs. The Dog Pound (Brian Knobbs & Rick Steiner) The Dog Pound have really been feeling their oats of late and were certainly determined to make the most of their shot at the Tag Team Titles. They went all out against the champs and clearly did a lot of damage. Buddy Rose did eventually manage to catch Knobbs in the Inside Out Back Breaker to successfully defend the titles, but afterwards, you could definitely tell that the champs had been in a , errrr, dog fight.

Pacific Coast Wrestling show from the Oakland Alameda County Arena, Oakland, on Pacific Super Cards, October 17th Badd Company vs. The Dog Pound (Brian Knobs & Rick Steiner) Pat Tanaka ducked under a clothesline from Steiner and, when Steiner whirled around to retaliate, nailed him in the jaw with a bicycle kick to get the three count. Bob Orton vs. Leo Burke A very tightly contested battle that Orton won with a backbreaker The Thundercats (Too Cold Scorpio & Norman Smiley) vs. Flamboyance (Lanny Poffo & Ron Starr) Scorpio pinned Starr after a top rope legdrop Nick Busick vs. Nord The Barbarian Busick won by countout after hitting the spinebuster slam on the outside California Title Match : Al Perez © vs. Mr. Hito An intense struggle where Perez ultimately prevailed with the Ally-Copter Chavo, Hector & Mando Guerrero vs. British Steel (Steven Regal & Robbie Brookside) & Tom Zenk Chavo pinned Regal with a German suplex after a fast paced and exciting bout Pacific Heavyweight Title Match : Ricky Steamboat © vs. Terry Taylor On the back of his nearly winning the California Title from Al Perez, Taylor managed to parlay that into a shot at the Pacific Title. He proceeded to show that he was worthy of that shot, giving Steamboat one of the toughest challenges of his title run, coming very close on several occasion to pinning the champ's shoulders for the three count. Taylor tried to put Steamboat down for good with a reverse neckbreaker, but Steamboat blocked it and reversed with a backslide that just barely got the one two three. Steamboat offered a handshake to the challenger after the match, which Taylor just barely accepted.

I see that Fumihiro Niikura is available for this draft, likely for his work in Calgary as the Silver Fox of the Viet Cong Express. If that is the case, would that not also make the Golden Grappler, Hiroshi Hase, also available?

Pacific Wrestling Showcase from the Cow Palace , San Francisco , on ESPN / TSN, October 16th Pat Tanaka vs. Rick Steiner Badd Company and the Dog Pound have been having some intense battles of late that have kept the fans spellbound. This singles match would continue the feud and pit the power and tenacity of Steiner, representing the Dog Pound, against the speed and skill of Tanka from Badd Company. Tanaka did his best to dodge Steiner's power offense, peppering him with quick kicks and shots, slowly chipping away at him. But when Steiner landed, he landed hard, hitting some crushing slams and clothelines. The end came with Steiner attempting a belly to back suplex, but Tanaka flipped over him and landed on his feet. Steiner retaliated by whirling around and levelling him with a huge clothesline that kept Tanaka down for the pinfall. A tough loss for Tanaka, but this tag feud shows no sign of stopping. The Southern Boys vs. Jimmy Del Ray & Randy Rose Last week, the Southern Boys' match took a bit of an odd turn, with Tracy Smothers wrestling the whole match and leaving Steve Armstrong completely out of the action. This time out, they seemed to be back on track, tagging in and out and hitting their signature combination moves against the former Tag Team champs. But late in the match, things went bizarre again when Armstrong and Rose were battling in the ring. The ref was in the process of escorting Del Ray out of the ring and Smothers took advantage of the distraction by going up top and blindsiding Rose with a Jawjacker. A confused Armstrong made the cover and got the one two three, but seemed clearly displeased with the smiling Smothers as they left the ring. Lanny Poffo vs. Norman Smiley "Leaping" Lanny Poffo has been out for revenge ever since losing the Light Heavyweight Title to Too Cold Scorpio. Looking to prove he is still a contender, the former champ took on Scorpio's partner in the Thundercats, Norman Smiley. But if he thought Smiley was going to be easy pickings, he was in for a rude awakening, as Smiley kept catching him in a variety of wear down holds and submission traps that took all of Poffo's considerable ingenuity to escape. Poffo was able to bust out on an attempt at the Norman Conquest (crossface chicken wing) and take Smiley down with a dropkick before hitting the Skydrop (short range Moonsault) to put an end to things. If there was any doubt before that the Thundercats meant business, this singles match surely put that to rest. Larry Cameron vs. Buddy Jack Roberts Speaking of the Thundercats, "Lethal" Larry Cameron has been conspicuously absent of late from the side of his teammates, focusing instead on singles matches. While he has had some impressive matches, he has seemed to be spinning his wheels and with no real forward momentum in his career. Looking to get back on track, he agreed to this match with the wily member of the Freebirds. While Roberts certainly showed no reluctance to dig into his bag of dirty tricks to get any advantage he could, Cameron did prevail, seemingly on sheer willpower, hitting the Harlem Hammer (running double axehandle to the back of the head and neck) to put the Freebird down for the count. Hopefully, his will help get things back on track for the big former football player. Pacific Tag Team Title Match : Buddy Rose & Billy Jack Haynes © vs. Cabin Fever (Manny Fernandez & Grizzly Boone) Cabin Fever have been gunning hard for the Pacific Tag Team Titles, looking to bring them back to the Crazy Gang. Thus far, Buddy Rose and Billy Jack Haynes have been able to hold back their challenge, but it has increasingly seemed like the Ragin' Bull and the Grizzly have been wearing down the champs. This match had an aura of barely restrained mayhem throughout, always one step away from complete breakdown. That finally happened when Billy Jack caught Fernandez in a big bear hug , and Boone came in to rescue his partner. The ref tried to send him out, but Boone knocked him to the ground, leading to a DQ win for the champs. That didn't stop Boone and Fernandez from double teaming Haynes until Rose came in with a chair to run them off. Can the champions hold off these wild men for much longer?

Would be interested in trading Brutus Beefcake and Great Kabuki for 1st round draft picks.

The first round picks of USWA and MACW have both been traded to Pacific Coast.

If someone drafts a wrestler from the former Houston roster, would they be available before January 1st, given that they are currently active wrestlers? I am good either way, looking more at rookies, just wondering.

Pacific Coast Wrestling show from McArthur Court, Eugene, October 12th Bam Bam Bigelow & Nick Busick vs. The Pacific Warlords (Don Muraco & Jimmy Snuka) Busick was trying to get Snuka in the Busick Bender (stump puller) when Jake Roberts snuck in the ring and executed a DDT, then put Snuka on top of Busick to give the win to the Pacific Warlords Brutus Beefcake vs. Mando Guerrero Brutus won with the Final Cut (running kneelift) Badd Company vs. The Dog Pound (Brian Knobbs & Rick Steiner) This match went to a no contest with all four men brawling in the ring at the same time The Southern Boys vs. The Freebirds (Michael Hayes & Buddy Jack Roberts) Hayes pinned Armstrong after hitting a running Bulldog Mike Rotunda, Tom Zenk & Al Perez vs. Jake Roberts, Waylon Mercy & Nord The Barbarian This was an intense match with a lot of hatred going into it that ended when Nick Busick charged into the ring when the ref was distracted and hit a massive Spinebuster Slam on Jake Roberts. Rotunda then rolled up the Snake to get the win for his team. Golden State Tag Team Title Match : Chavo & Hector Guerrero © vs. British Steel (Steven Regal & Robbie Brookside) A long and gripping match that had the fans rocking and rolling throughout. The young Englishmen put up an incredible challenge to the Guerreros for their titles, but in the end the brothers prevailed when Hector was finally able to put Brookside away with a butterfly suplex

Pacific Coast Wrestling show from the Portland Memorial Coliseum , Portland , on ESPN / TSN Pacific Super Cards, October 11th The Great Kabuki & The Great Muta vs. The Hart Foundation The Hart Foundation were just barely able to pull out the win with the Hart Attack on Kabuki Larry Cameron vs. Randy Rose Cameron won with the Harlem Hammer (running double axehandle to the back of the head) Doug Somers vs. Bob Orton Orton pinned Somers after the Superplex Leo Burke vs. Chris Adams Burke gave Adams a hell of a fight but ultimately went down to the Superkick Pacific Tag Team Title Match : Buddy Rose & Billy Jack Haynes © vs. Cabin Fever (Manny Fernandez & Grizzly Boone) A crazy, out of control match that the champs won by DQ when the ref got caught in the middle of an Avalanche by Boone on Rose Pacific Television Title Match : Texas Red © vs. Jimmy Del Ray Red successfully defended his title with a chokeslam 2/3 Falls Pacific Heavyweight Title Match : Ricky Steamboat © vs. Eddie Gilbert 1st Fall : Steamboat pinned Gilbert with an inside cradle 2nd Fall : Gilbert pinned Steamboat with a victory roll out of the corner 3rd Fall : Both men went to a 45 minute time limit draw Final Result : Draw
