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

Pacific Wrestling Showcase from the Portland Sports Arena, Portland , on ESPN / TSN , October 10th Bam Bam Bigelow & Nick Busick vs. Waylon Mercy & Nord The Barbarian Bigelow and Busick have turned into a force to be reckoned with of late, with their opponents struggling to match up to their power and size. Mercy and Nord, no small fries themselves, found themselves out matched by the strength and aggression of their popular opponents. No big surprise that they turned to dirty tactics, with their mentor Jake Roberts sneaking around the ring, yanking Busick off the ringside apron and driving him head first into the ring steps. Roberts then started to put the boots to Busick until Leo Burke rushed out and ran him off before helping Busick to his feet. This caused sufficient distraction for Bigelow that he was looking the other way when Nord blind sided him with a running knee to the back. Nord followed up with a running kneedrop that got the one two three. Mercy, Nord and Roberts laughed at their ill gotten victory, while Burke and Busick were furious, and Bigelow seemed confused by what had gone down. The Southern Boys vs. Flamboyance (Lanny Poffo & Ron Starr) While Bigelow was confused by the results of the last match, it was Steve Armstrong who was confused by this one, as well as the fans. Flamboyance were the first out to the ring, preening and smug as usual. The Southern Boys were out next, but out of nowhere , Tracy went racing ahead of Armstrong, swiftly ascending the top rope and hitting a surprise Jawjacker on Starr. He then dropkicked Poffo out of the ring and went for the cover, scoring the shocking pinfall. A decisive victory for the Southern Boys, but what on earth possessed Smothers to fight it single handed. The Great Muta vs. Bret Hart For this match, Bret was joined at ringside by his Hart Foundation partner, Jim Neidhart. Neidhart had made only sporadic appearances in the past few weeks due to a shoulder injury, but looked to have made a full recovery as he paced around the ring. He was a constant source of menace to young Muta as his attention was split between both men of the Hart Foundation. Neidhart proved to be the deciding factor in the match, as when Muta went up top for the Moonsault, the Anvil shoved him hard, causing him to tumble backwards to the mat. Hart capitalized with a double leg cradle to get the three count. After the match, Hart and Neidhart continued their assault on Muta until his father, The Great Kabuki, rushed out , swinging his nunchaku, and ran them off. The Harts may have one this time, but may have bitten off more than they can chew but brining Muta's family into the fray. Buddy Rose, Billy Jack Haynes & Doug Somers vs. The Crazy Gang (Bob Orton, Manny Fernandez & Grizzly Boone) Cabin Fever, the team of Manny Fernandez and Grizzly Boone, have set their sights on the Pacific Tag Team Titles currently held by Rose and Haynes. This time out, they have brought in their Crazy Gang boss, Cowboy Bob Orton, to prove their worth against the champs and Doug Somers. Orton and Boone were particularly tough nuts for Rose's team to crack, but for this match, it would be Fernandez who left his mark. The Ragin' Bull savaged Somers, busting him open before nailing him with the Flying Burrito for the win. Rose and Haynes have been fairly dominant champions so far, but Cabin Fever could just be the team to take the belts away from them. Pacific Television Title Match : Texas Red © vs. John Tatum Tatum has been a persistent thorn in the side of the TV champ, with the other members of the Hollywood Vice Squad constantly sticking their noses in. Well, it seems like Texas Red is truly fed up with them, and this match shown that he has finally had enough. When Randy Rose and Jimmy Del Ray tried to interfere, he grabbed them by the throat and dragged them into the ring before clotheslining them both back out of the ring. He then grabbed Tatum by the hair and hit the Heart Punch , contemptuously putting his foot on his unconscious body as the ref made the three count. Tatum remained completely out of it even as Del Ray and Rose dragged him out of the ring to the locker room.

Pacific Coast Wrestling show from the Kelowna Memorial Arena, Kelowna, October 5th The Southern Boys vs. Flamboyance (Lanny Poffo & Ron Starr) Smothers pinned Poffo after hitting the Jawjacker Tom Zenk vs. Waylon Mercy Mercy won by countout after Jake Roberts hit a DDT on Zenk outside the ring Leo Burke vs. Mando Guerrero A very tight contest where Burke managed to pin Mando after a belly to back suplex Jerry Blackwell, Nick Busick & Bam Bam Bigelow vs. The Crazy Gang (Bob Orton, Manny Fernandez & Grizzly Boone) A wild , chaotic brawl that ended when Orton took advantage of the ref being distracted by clobbering Busick with the ring bell, allowing Boone to hit a running splash to pull out the tainted win. Badd Company , Ed Wiskowski & Doug Somers vs. The Dog Pound (Brian Knobbs & Rick Steiner), Randy Rose & Jimmy Del Ray A long and hard fought match where Wiskowski was able to score the win with a face first piledriver on Randy Rose California Title Match : Al Perez © vs. Terry Taylor The former TV champ gave Perez his toughest challenge yet, going hold for hold with the Latin Heartthrob. He went for broke when he tried to nail Perez in the corner with the Fivearm, but Perez dodged out of the way just in time, then countered with a German suplex that gave him the three count.

Pacific Coast Wrestling show from the Victoria Memorial Arena, Victoria, on Pacific Super Cards, on ESPN/TSN , October 4th Brutus Beefcake vs. Buddy Jack Roberts Beefcake won with the Final Cut (running kneelift) The Pacific Warlords (Don Muraco & Jimmy Snuka) vs, The Thundercats (Too Cold Scorpio & Norman Smiley) Muraco pinned Smiley after hitting a belly to belly piledriver Eddie Gilbert vs. John Tatum In a match between the top contender for the Heavyweight title and the top contender for the Television title, Gilbert managed to defeat Tatum with a Lou Thesz Press Larry Cameron vs. Nord The Barbarian Both men were counted out while brawling outside the ring Pacific Television Title Match : Texas Red © vs. Ron Starr Starr put up a tough fight but Red was able to successfully defend his title with the Chokeslam Leo Burke & British Steel (Steven Regal & Robbie Brookside) vs. Chavo, Hector & Mando Guerrero An intense six man that ended when Hector was able to catch Brookside in the Guerrero Clutch Pacific Heavyweight Title Match : Ricky Steamboat © vs. Bret Hart After his impressive performance in his previous challenge, Bret Hart earned himself a second shot at the champ, and followed it up by continuing his merciless attack on Steamboat's legs. He was also especially vicious with his shots, hitting particularly nasty forearms and suplexes that clearly took their toll on the champ. Steamboat was able to battle back , first using his chops to hold off Hart's assault then able to hit some suplexes of his own, gritting it out in spite of the damage done to his legs. There were many near falls and the crowd were on the edge of their seats throughout the match. Steamboat was ultimately able to hit a sunset flip out of the corner and hold Hart down for the one two three.

Pacific Wrestling Showcase from the Pacific Coliseum, Vancouver, on ESPN / TSN , October 3rd Badd Company vs. The Dog Pound (Brian Knobbs & Rick Steiner) After their loss to Diamond and Tanaka last week, Knobbs and Steiner immediately demanded a rematch as soon as possible. They came out with an even more fiery ferocity, and Badd Company were on the defensive for much of the match. Badd Company were able to come back with their rapid fire , double team moves. But right in the middle of their rally, Tanaka leapfrogged over Knobbs, only to get levelled by a massive clothesline by Steiner. Knobbs held up Diamond while Steiner got the pinfall. The Dog Pound had evened the count with Badd Company and don't look to stop there. Mike Rotunda vs. Waylon Mercy It seems like so long ago that Mercy was known as Dan Spivey and was Rotunda's best friend. So much has changed in that time and they are now the bitterest of enemies and there seemed like no trace of their friendship remained as the two tore into each other. Mercy's mentor Jake "The Snake" Roberts was at ringside, but Rotunda stayed laser focused on Mercy throughout the match, and the two waged a mighty battle indeed. Mercy was set to put Rotunda down for good with the DDT, and took a second to grin at The Snake, who nodded in approval. But Rotunda was playing possum and caught Mercy in a small package that just barely got the three count. Mercy and Roberts were both furious, but Rotunda was defiant in his victory, having clearly taken all he intended to take from the dastardly duo. Ed Wiskowski & Doug Somers vs. Cabin Fever (Manny Fernandez & Grizzly Boone) Cabin Fever have been racking up some impressive wins of late, and are gaining momentum to try to challenge for the Pacific Tag Team Titles held by Billy Jack Haynes and Buddy Rose. Rose's teammates in the Playboy Club, Wiskowski and Somers, looked to put up a road block in their progress, but the men of the Crazy Gang were having none of it. No matter what they did, they just couldn't seem to put a dent in the big Grizzly Boone. But it was Manny Fernandez who especially seemed to have a fire lit in his belly, going after Wiskowski and Somers like his raging bull namesake. He managed to bust open Somers before knocking him out with the Flying Burrito, getting the win for his team. Can anything stop Cabin Fever on their march to a title shot? Pacific Light Heavyweight Title : Too Cold Scorpio © vs. Ron Starr Too Cold Scorpio shocked many last week when he took the Light Heavyweight Title from Lanny Poffo. This week, Starr was looking to immediately bring the title back to Flamboyance, by hook or by crook. Starr is a savvy veteran, but the youth and speed of Scorpio was a lot to try and keep down, and he found himself resorting to try and punch the fight out of the new champion. This caused his concentration to lapse long enough for Scorpio to counter his attempted clothesline with a crucifix that held him down for the three count. Scorpio is clearly determined to prove himself a worthy champion, and has made a very good start on that. Brutus Beefcake vs. Terry Gordy Terry Gordy had his shot at regaining the Pacific Heavyweight Title last week, but came up short. He clearly had a chip on his shoulder from that and was looking to take out his frustration on Brutus Beefcake. Beefcake, for his part, was not about to be anybody's punching bag and kept slugging it out with big lefts and rights. The two men battled back and forth, and the ring shook from their dueling power moves. Beefcake went for broke when he had Gordy caught in the corner and came in for the Final Cut (running kneelift), but Gordy dodged at the last second and Beefcake went hard into the turnbuckle. Gordy then hit a second rope kneedrop and scored the pinfall on Beefcake. Gordy was victorious but it took a lot to get the win.

Pacific Coast Wrestling Show from the UCSB Event Center, Santa Barbara, September 28th Mike Rotunda vs. Jake Roberts Rotunda won by DQ when Jake DDTed the ref The Great Kabuki vs. Chris Adams While Gary Hart caused a distraction, Adams blindsided Kabuki with a superkick to the back of the head for the win Brutus Beefcake vs. Mando Guerrero Beefcake won with the Final Cut (running knee lift) The Thundercats (Too Cold Scorpio & Norman Smiley) vs. Flamboyance (Lanny Poffo & Ron Starr) Flamboyance, Poffo in particular, went hard after Scorpio , looking for revenge for him taking Poffo's Light Heavyweight Title, but Scorpio was always able to come out on top. Nonetheless, Poffo managed to hit the Skydrop (short range moonsault) on Smiley for the victory The Great Muta vs. Terry Taylor Muta ducked under the Fivearm and came back with a spin kick to the jaw to score the pinfall California Title Match : Al Perez © vs. Mr. Hito Both men went to a 20 minute time limit draw Pacific Television Title Match : Texas Red © vs. John Tatum Tatum managed to wear down the champ by digging deep into his bag of dirty tricks, but the champ ultimately prevailed by catching him off the ropes with a Western Lariat

Pacific Coast Wrestling show from the LA Sports Arena, Los Angeles, on ESPN / TSN Pacific Super Cards, September 27th The Southern Boys vs. Cabin Fever (Manny Fernandez & Grizzly Boone) The Freebirds snuck in the ring while the ref was distracted and Michael Hayes took Armstrong down with a running bulldog , making him easy prey for a running splash by Boone that gave the win to Cabin Fever Nick Busick & Bam Bam Bigelow vs. Randy Rose & Jimmy Del Ray No matter what underhanded tactics they tried, the former tag champs could not corral Busick and Bigelow for long , and Bigelow crushed Rose with a slingshot splash for the victory Leo Burke vs. Bob Orton A hard hitting match between two tough veterans that ended when Orton caught Burke in a running lariat and was just barely able to keep him down for the one two three. British Steel (Steven Regal & Robbie Brookside) vs. The Pacific Warlord (Don Muraco & Jimmy Snuka) British Steel used cat and mouse tactics to keep a step ahead of the Shiekh's men and gave a very good accounting of themselves, but in the end, the size and experience of Snuka and Muraco proved to be too much to overcome, and Muraco pinned Brookside after a belly to belly piledriver Pacific Tag Team Title Match : Billy Jack Haynes & Buddy Rose © vs. The Freebirds (Michael Hayes & Buddy Jack Roberts) The Freebirds were determined to cheat their way to the Tag Team Titles , and might just have pulled it off too. But Steve Armstrong showed up at ringside and started chasing Buddy Jack around the ring. While the ref was distracted by this, Hayes had Rose set up for a running bulldog, but Tracy Smothers came off the top rope and hit Hayes with a jawjacker. He then put Rose on top of Hayes and dove out of the ring. The ref turned around and made the count, giving the victory to the champs. Pacific Heavyweight Title Match : Ricky Steamboat © vs. Terry Gordy For this long awaited rematch, Gordy was clearly in no mood to trifle, wasting no time in going after Steamboat. The big Freebird landed some hellacious blows on Steamboat, and for a while it seemed like the Dragon's title reign might well be a short one. But Steamboat weathered out the storm and came back with fire in his eyes, hitting his trademark armdrags and working to neutralize the Asiatic Spike. This war went back and forth for a long time, with the fans on the edge of their seats for most of it, until Steamboat was able to make his way to the top rope and come off with a flying cross body press. He was able to keep Gordy covered for the vital three count and kept his hold on the title with a hard fought victory.

Pacific Wrestling Showcase from the Olympic Auditorium , Los Angeles , on ESPN / TSN, September 26th Badd Company vs. The Dog Pound (Brian Knobbs & Rick Steiner) Pat Tanaka and Paul Diamond are on a bit of a high, coming off a high profile victory over the Hart Foundation. Knobbs and Steiner, meanwhile, are looking to bounce back after some tough losses at the hands of the Playboy Club. Knobbs and Steiner had a fair sized chip on their shoulders and were extremely aggressive with Badd Company. Missy Hyatt's men have been seasoned by some intense feuds so were not fazed by this, but no matter what they threw at them, the Dog Pound just kept coming. Knobbs looked like he was going to put them away when he got Tanaka over his shoulder for a running powerslam, but Takana was able to escape with a slide down his back and a roll up that just barely held his shoulders down for the three count. Badd Company came out on top in this one but you can bet that the Dog Pound will keep coming after them. Larry Cameron vs. Nord The Barbarian Cameron gave a very good accounting of himself in a recent match with the former Pacific Heavyweight Champion Terry Gordy, but still ended up coming out on the short end of that bout. Looking for redemption, he is taking on one of the biggest men in PCW, Nord The Barbarian. Nord was certainly not about to roll over for Cameron, and the two mastodons went at it with an unrelenting fury that had the ref looking like he wanted no part of the match. The ring shuddered and shook with all of the big slams and power moves that each man threw at each other, but neither would stay down for long. Cameron tried to take a moment to regroup, but Nord dove through the ropes at him with a huge flying tackle that sent them both crashing into the barricade. When they were able to get to their feet, they threw lefts and rights until the ref called for a double countout. A brutal battle that ended up in a stalemate … for now. Steven Regal vs. Chavo Guerrero The Guerrero brothers initially didn't seem to think much of the challenge presented by British Steel to their Golden State Tag Team Titles , but after a hard fought recent 2/3 falls match, the champions are taking the contenders much more seriously now. Regal lost a close contest last week to Hector Guerrero, but wasted no time in immediately throwing the gauntlet down for Chavo. Regal definitely had some fire in his eye as he not only swapped move for move with Chavo, but every time Guerrero tried to sneak in a cheap shot, Regal fired back with blistering punches. Chavo really didn't know what to do with the young British firebrand. Regal's temper wound up getting the better of him as he started laying down punches when he caught Chavo in the corner, and he responded to the ref's attempts to separate the two by shoving the official to the mat. The ref had no choice but to disqualify Regal, a result that disappointed both Regal and the fans. Regardless, the Guerreros will have to face the fact that this challenge from British Steel will not be going away any time soon. Pacific Light Heavyweight Title Match : Lanny Poffo © vs. Too Cold Scorpio The Thundercats have been on a bit of a slide since losing the Golden State Tag Titles to the Guerreros, and Flamboyance haven't made things easy on them, coming out on top in several recent matches with Scorpio and Norman Smiley. That hasn't stopped the determination of the rookie team, and Too Cold Scorpio has boldly challenged Lanny Poffo for his Light Heavyweight title, with neither Smiley nor Poffo's partner Ron Starr to be present. Poffo arrogantly accepted the challenge, figuring he could beat Scorpio just as easily in a singles match as in tag action. While Scorpio managed to land a number of impressive moves on Poffo, for the most part Leaping Lanny's confidence seemed justified, with the champ keeping just one step ahead of the champion for much of the match. When he took down Scorpio with a dropkick and then went up top for the Skydrop, that seemed to be it for the match. But Scorpio pulled up his knees at the last second and Poffo landed hard. Scorpio managed to make it up back to his feet, climbed up top and hit a flying legdrop on the prone Poffo. One … two … THREE!!!! The crowd was jubilant as Scorpio took the Light Heavyweight belt and raised it above his head. Ricky Steamboat & The Southern Boys vs. The Freebirds Steamboat took the title from Freebird Terry Gordy in what some have called the greatest match in PCW history. Ever since then, Gordy has been extremely vocal in his demand for a rematch. In this match, Gordy kept insisting that he be tagged in , and directed his aggression to Steamboat whether he was in the ring or not. Armstrong and Smothers did their best to hold him off, but Gordy was not in the mood and flattened Armstrong with a lariat and followed up with a huge piledriver that took the match for the Freebirds. Gordy's efforts paid off for him as it was announced that he would get his rematch at the LA Sports Arena card.

Pacific Coast Wrestling show from the Oakland Alameda County Arena, Oakland, on Pacific Super Cards, September 20th The Thundercats (Too Cold Scorpio & Norman Smiley) vs. Flamboyance (Lanny Poffo & Ron Starr) Starr pinned Smiley after catching him coming off the ropes with an elbow to the face Ed Wiskowski & Doug Somers vs. Jimmy Del Ray & Randy Rose Wiskowski hit the face first piledriver on Rose to score the victory Badd Company vs. Chris Adams & Terry Taylor Adams blindsided Tanaka with a Superkick to the back of the head to get the win Bam Bam Bigelow vs. Manny Fernandez Bigelow won with a slingshot splash Leo Burke vs. Bob Orton Orton won after a backbreaker Nick Busick vs. Grizzly Boone Busick managed to catch Boone in a Spinebuster Slam in a move that got a gasp from the audience, but Fernandez and Orton immediately rushed in before he could go for the pin, leading to a DQ. Leo Burke and Bam Bam Bigelow swiftly followed and the two sides battled until security came out and forced them to return to the locker room. Pacific Tag Team Title Match : Buddy Rose & Billy Jack Haynes © vs. The Pacific Warlords (Don Muraco & Jimmy Snuka) A crazy match that ended in a no contest with both teams brawling in the ring. Pacific Heavyweight Title Match : Ricky Steamboat © vs. Bret Hart Hart really took it to Steamboat, focusing in particular on his legs and keeping him in a figure four leglock for a very long stretch. Steamboat was able to find his way out of it, and when Hart tried to re-apply it, Steamboat snared him in an inside cradle and just barely hold his shoulders down for the three count. Steamboat came out with his title intact but the young upstart had given him a very stiff challenge.

Pacific Wrestling Showcase from the Cow Palace , San Francisco , on ESPN / TSN, September 19th California Title Match : Al Perez © vs. Mr. Hito Al Perez worked had to climb the ranks of Pacific Coast Wrestling, and that work paid off when he won the California Title from Bob Orton. But that prize came at a price, with everyone now coming after him for their own shot at the title. Mr. Hito, the assassin of Gary Hart International, clearly had serious designs on taking the belt for himself, opening up strong and lacing into Perez's legs with vicious kicks before taking him to the mat for leglocks. Perez dug deep into his well of technical skills to work his way out of the hold, but Hito was back on him and the two struggled to get the other to submit. The two battled back and forth, but neither was able to take the advantage long enough to put the other one out, and the bell rang signaling a 15 minute time limit draw. Perez certainly has his work cut out for him to survive this formidable challenge. Ed Wiskowski vs. Randy Rose Having beaten the Dog Pound at Phoenix Firestorm, Wiskowski and Doug Somers are now looking for revenge on the rest of the Hollywood Vice Squad, with Randy Rose and Jimmy Del Ray stepping right into the line of fire. Both men's partners were in their corners as they slugged it out, and it was all the ref could do to keep control both inside of the ring and outside. At one point, Rose sought to take advantage of the ref's distraction by nailing Wiskowski with a low blow kick, but the Polish Prince blocked it and then levelled him with a big lariat. He then followed up with a Face First Piledriver that put the Ravishing One down for good. A big victory, but I don't think the men of the Playboy Club have seen the last of the Hollywood Vice Squad. Grizzly Boone vs. Nick Busick Nick Busick has scored some impressive victories and really gotten the fans behind him in his short time in PCW, but he has never met a challenge as big and ornery as Grizzly Boone. Boone was an incredibly tough nut for Busick to crack, being too big for many of his power moves and tough enough to absorb a lot of Busick's punches and clotheslines, firing back with interest. Busick was still able to get the big man off his feat with a body slam, an impressive display of strength that was only able to get a 2 count. He tried to wear him down with a bearhug, but wasn't able to get his arms around the massive Grizzly, and his attempts were interrupted by an attack by Boone's Cabin Fever teammate Manny Fernandez. The ref called for the DQ while the two double teamed the man from Powerhouse Hill, but they headed for the hills when Bam Bam Bigelow ran out. If these two teams are going to war, nobody is going to want to get caught in the crossfire. Steven Regal vs. Hector Guerrero The young gentlemen of British Steel have started to challenge for the Golden State Tag Team Titles held by Chavo and Hector Guerrero, and while the Guerreros have prevailed so far, there has been a sense that the Englishmen have been steadily gaining on them. Steven Regal certainly seemed out to prove himself in this singles match with Hector Guerrero, and to his credit, he managed to keep Hector on the defensive for much of the match. The more experienced Guerrero was gradually able to get back control , luring him into the corner and catching him in the Guerrero Clutch to score the pinfall. Hector actually seemed somewhat impressed and tousled his hair in a playful manner by way of congratulations, but Regal was in no mood to be condescended to and swatted his hand away. If the Guerreros keep making British Steel madder, they may come to regret their smugness. Ricky Steamboat & Eddie Gilbert vs. The Hart Foundation While Gilbert has let it be known that he is still looking to challenge his friend Ricky Steamboat for the Heavyweight Title, the two have found a common group of enemies in Gary Hart International. For this match, Jim Neidhart came out with his shoulder heavily bandaged from injuring it the week before, so Bret Hart carried much of the match for his team. He provided many of the surprises of the match as he went after Steamboat with a vengeance, scoring a number of near falls on the champ and doing a lot of damage. The two were battling on the outside when Neidhart started bowling Gilbert over with crushing tackles, but Gilbert was ultimately able to catch him with a hot shot and score the pinfall. Gilbert and Steamboat prevailed, but the Hart Foundation had certainly made their mark, and after the match it was announced that Bret Hart would get his own shot at the championship in Oakland.

Pacific Coast Wrestling show from the Portland Memorial Coliseum , Portland , on Pacific Super Cards, September 13th The Southern Boys vs. Michael Hayes & Buddy Roberts After their victory over the Southern Boys at Phoenix Firestorm, the Freebirds seemed particularly dismissive of the young tag team in this rematch. That would cost them, as the Southern Boys were determined to get redemption for the loss and gave the Freebirds a very tough challenge. Hayes had Smothers set up for a Bulldog Headlock, but Smothers blocked it and countered with a belly to back suplex. Smothers then tagged in Armstrong who hit a flying clothesline for the victory. The Great Kabuki vs. Terry Taylor While Gary Hart distracted the ref, Chris Adams snuck in the ring and hit Kabuki with a Superkick. Taylor followed up with the Fivearm to get the tainted win. Badd Company vs. The Hart Foundation Jim Neidhart came in with his shoulder bandaged from the injury he suffered in his match with Eddie Gilbert. Diamond and Tanaka worked over his arm every chance they got, and as a result, Bret Hart spent most of the time in the ring for his team. Hart thought he had it wrapped up when he caught Tanaka in a sunset flip, but Diamond nailed him with a clothesline and Tanaka got his shoulders to the mat for the one two three. The Harts protested, but the decision stood, and Missy Hyatt and her men were jubilant as they celebrated their big win. Larry Cameron vs. Terry Gordy Gordy was coming in with a considerable chip on his shoulder after losing the Heavyweight Title at Phoenix Firestorm, and was looking to take out his frustrations on Larry Cameron. Cameron was having none of it, and gave back as good as he got, but ultimately Gordy was able to hit a big Freebird Piledriver and pull out the victory.

Brutus Beefcake and Badd Company rushed in to help clear the ring, but Gilbert was clearly disappointed and frustrated at the result of his first title challenge.
