Pacific Coast Wrestling show from the Selland Arena, Fresno, February 16th Tommy Dreamer vs. Scotty The Body These two young rivals clashed again, with Scotty pinning Tommy following the Body Shot (DDT). Bret Hart & Bam Bam Bigelow vs. Terry Gordy & Ted Dibiase Bret was so focused on defeating Gordy that he didn't spot Dibiase sneaking up behind him. The Man Of Means jacked Hart in the back of the head with his loaded black glove, allowing Gordy to pin the Hitman following a big elbow drop. Pacific Light Heavyweight Title Match : Dragon Azul © vs. David Cash Dragon continued to take on all challengers, facing "Cash Flow" David Cash in an incredibly exciting bout. The two had a fast paced match before the champ got the win with a flying Victory Roll. Sgt. Slaughter & The Force Of July (The Patriot & The Eagle) vs. Dennis Condrey & The Midnight Express Another heated bout between the two groups, with Sarge pinning Eaton following the Slaughter Cannon. Pacific Submission Title Match : Dean Malenko © vs. Steve Blackman Blackman was perhaps his most fierce that he has been in a long time, and Malenko showed what could pass for concern on his face. The two wound up going to a 20 minute draw, allowing Malenko to keep his grip on his title. California Title Match : Steven Regal © vs. Eddie Guerrero The night closed out with an incredible California Title match. Guerrero seemed to have it all wrapped up when he went up top for the Frog Splash. Regal got his knees up in time, and once the agonized Guerrero was back on his feet, Regal executed a Floating Butterfly Suplex for a remarkable victory.

Pacific Coast Wrestling show from the Cow Palace , San Francisco, on Pacific Super Cards on ESPN / TSN, February 15th Barry Windham & The Thrillseekers vs. Brian Lee & The Suicide Blondes (Chris Candido & Louie Spicolli) Last week, Windham was able to work with the Thrillseekers to get over the contingent from the Playboy Club. They continued to work well together in this match, but a mistimed move by Jericho left him vulnerable to the Prime Time Slam from Brian Lee, giving the pinfall to the Bulldozer. Even then, Lee and the Blondes tried to get in more shots on Jericho and Storm after the match, but with Windham standing in front of them like an angry bear, they thought better of it. Jason Jett & Chris Hamrick vs. Big Vito Lograsso & Billy Black Both sides were looking to come back after losses the night before, and neither was about to give an inch. The result was a fierce battle that went to a 15 minute time limit draw. Steve Austin, Pierre Carl Ouellet & Iron & Steel (Tony Atlas & Larry Cameron) vs. Chris Adams, Mike Awesome & Harlem Heat Austin and Ouellet knew they were going to need more help if they were going to have to keep on facing a full complement of the Diamond Exchange. The got impressive backup indeed in the form of Iron & Steel. Atlas and Cameron seemed particularly incensed at the new team of Harlem Heat encroaching in what they see as their territory, and the result was a crazy brawl with a piledriver from Atlas on Booker T getting the decision. Pacific Television Title Match : Shinya Hashimoto © vs. Jimmy Del Ray Jim Cornette is dead set on getting his men some gold, and is throwing the Gigolo into the fray against the TV champ. Del Ray certainly proved his worth by tricking Hash into a number of near falls, but the always tough Japanese star prevailed with a spin kick to the head. Pacific Tag Team Title Match : Phoenix Rising (Toshiaki Kawada & Kensuke Sasaki) © vs. Coast 2 Coast (John Tatum & Jack Victory) Coast 2 Coast were going all out to regain the titles that they once held, but their previous actions came to haunt them as Tommy Dreamer and Glamour Boy Shane, still battered from their attack the night before, rushed out to attack them. This led to a DQ finish, and the only way the brawl between the two teams got cooled down was from an appearance by Commissioner Dutch Savage. Savage told them that they could save their aggression for the ring, as he was signing a Golden State Tag Team Title Match between the two teams for Aloha Spectacular. He added that, if the two teams didn't stay out of each other's way until then, both teams would find themselves on the unemployment line. Pacific Heavyweight Title Match : Ricky Steamboat © vs. Buddy Rose Rose earned himself a second chance to regain the Pacific Heavyweight Title, and he certainly seemed to want to make the most of it. He went all out against the Dragon, and at points seemed terrifyingly close to wearing gold once more. It all came crashing down when he went for a running elbow smash in the corner, only for Steamboat to dodge out of the way at the last second. Steamboat then caught Rose in a double leg cradle to remain champion.

Pacific Wrestling Showcase from the Oakland Alameda County Arena, Oakland, on ESPN / TSN, February 14th Stormfront (Al Snow & Jerry Lynn) vs. Big Vito Lograsso & Billy Black The new version of Stormfront had a bit of a bumpy ride at first, but are truly starting to gel as a team. The Hollywood Heartbreakers duo of Lograsso and Black were aggressive, as one would expect of wrestlers managed by Jim Cornette. But Stormfront came back hard with some double team moves, finally putting down Black with the Storm Warning (modified double Flapjack that drives the opponent down onto his head). Stormfront are coming back hard, and the Hexagon had best watch out. Sgt. Slaughter vs. Brady Finta The arrival of Sgt. Slaughter was one of the biggest shocks of the New Years Day Celebration. Thus far, he has mostly been a leader and partner for the Force Of July. The hard nosed DI proved to be just as credible as a singles competitor, easily dispatching Finta by forcing him to tap out to the Cobra Clutch. Jim Cornette is going to need to pull out every trick in the book to counteract the patriotic veteran. Big Bully Busick & Shane Douglas vs. The Lightning Kid & Rob Zakowski Last week, the Citadel struck a major blow in their war with the Hexagon as Busick and Douglas defeated Dean Malenko and Eddie Guerrero. The Sinister Minister was eager for vengeance, immediately sending out the rookie duo of Lightning and Zakowski. They were relentless, focusing their attack on Busick, but that just meant that Douglas was always free to back up his friend. The Hexagon were so focused it led them into disaster, as Lightning ran right into the Bully Breaker (hangman neckbreaker) and a pinfall. The Man From Powerhouse Hill is proving to be the difference maker in the Citadel turning the tide against the Hexagon. Steve Austin & Pierre Carl Ouellet vs. Harlem Heat These two sides clashed last week in Eugene, with Harlem Heat stealing the win after a sneak attack by Chris Adams. The Diamond Exchange tried the same tactic again, but Austin and PCO were anticipating that. Adams was intercepted by PCO hitting a somersault dive off the ring apron, which caught Harlem Heat off guard enough for a Stun Gun from Austin to get the pinfall on Stevie Ray. Austin and Ouellet are catching on to the Diamond Exchange's tricks, but that doesn't change the fact that they are outnumbered. Steve Williams vs. Glamour Boy Shane Doctor Death has been on an absolute rampage through PCW, but Glamour Boy Shane bravely stepped into the line of fire. He did his best to hold off Williams assault, but things took a seedier turn when John Tatum and Jack Victory showed up at ringside and started hassling Trisa Hayes. Hayes wanted nothing to do with them, but Tatum's harassment grew so unbearable that she slapped his face. This enraged Tatum, who grabbed her hand and started screaming in her face. Tommy Dreamer rushed out to come to her defense , but he was facing Coast 2 Coast two on one. This led to a lapse in concentration by Shane , resulting in Williams flattening him with a clothesline and crushing him with a scoop powerslam for the win. Tatum and Victory continued their beatdown on Dreamer until PCW security came out and caused them to flee back to the locker room. Coast 2 Coast may be back, but they certainly aren't making any friends. The Money Train (Jason Jett, Chris Hamrick & David Cash) vs. Dennis Condrey & The Midnight Express Since their arrival in PCW, the Money Train's path has been entwined with that of the Hollywood Heartbreakers, but tonight, they would face Jim Cornette's senior squad. The Money Train were able to land some impressive moves on the Midnights, but when Cornette's men kicked into gear, they kept the match firmly in hand. Hamrick did try to take out Lane with a Frankenhamrick, but he was too close to the ropes, and Eaton grabbed him by the hair from the ring apron and dropped him down throat first on the top rope. He then went up top and hit a diving kneedrop on Hamrick for the win. Just goes to show that you can never take the Midnight Express for granted.

Pacific Coast Wrestling show from McArthur Court, Eugene, February 9th Steve Austin & Pierre Carl Ouellet vs. Harlem Heat Austin and Ouellet held their own against DDP's new duo until Chris Adams took advantage of a ref distraction and snuck in the ring , hitting the Superkick on Austin. Booker T covered the felled Stunning Steve and stole the victory for the Diamond Exchange. Stormfront (Al Snow & Jerry Lynn) vs. The Can-Am Express The new iteration of Stormfront pulled off a huge victory when Lynn pinned Lafon following a Cradle Piledriver. Sgt. Slaughter & The Force Of July vs. Dennis Condrey & The Midnight Express This war was a lot for the ref to manage, and Cornette's men eagerly took advantage of this. When the Patriot started heading up to hit the Patriot Missile , Lane clobbered him from behind with Cornette's loaded racquet. Condrey then hit the Full Nelson Facebuster to give the duke to the Midnights. Dan Severn vs. Chris Adams Adams' background in judo and amateur wrestling stood him well against the leader of the Citadel, but it ultimately proved irrelevant when Steve Austin rushed into the ring and attacked him. The ref had no choice but to declare the match a DQ win for Adams. Pacific Light Heavyweight Title Match : Dragon Azul © vs. Art Barr Emboldened by his attack on Roddy Piper the night before, Barr went all out against Dragon, who was forced to fight a defensive battle. The champ was able to hold off Barr long enough to go to a 20 minute time limit draw, but you can be certain that the Hexagon member will be wanting another crack at it. California Title Match : Steven Regal © vs. Rob Zakowski The match closed off with another title match as the English Lion defended against another member of the Hexagon. Regal hasn't ducked anyone in his time as California Champion, and seemed eager to take on this ferocious young contender. Zakowski did managed to execute some spectacular moves on the champ, but Regal held steady, flattening him with a spinning forearm smash before pinning him with the Regal-Plex.

Pacific Coast Wrestling show from the Portland Memorial Coliseum , Portland , on Pacific Super Cards on ESPN / TSN, February 8th David Cash vs. Erin O'Grady Two of the young and rising stars of PCW had a fast paced, high flying match that went to David Cash with the Money Maker (double underhook piledriver) Billy Gunn vs. Scotty The Body Both men were very determined to get one up on the other, and Scotty used some underhanded tactics to gain the advantage. This advantage dissolved when Roddy Piper showed up at ringside and started taunting Tina Ferrari with a broom. This resulted in a shouting match between the two , which provided sufficient distraction that led to Scotty walking right into a Sidewinder (spinning side suplex). The ref made the three count, giving the bout to Gunn. Chris Hamrick vs. The Lightning Kid Another exciting and close match between two rookies, with Lighning Kid coming out on top with the Lightning Strike (Tombstone piledriver). Bret Hart, Shinya Hashimoto & Phoenix Rising (Toshiaki Kawada & Kensuke Sasaki) vs. The Miracle Violence Combination & The Oregon Wrecking Crew (Gary Albright & David Young) The Hitman, along with his Japanese friends, went to war with the Terror Collective, and this was a titanic battle indeed. There were some ferocious exchanges between Bret and Gordy, but the decision went to Steve Williams when he flattened Sasaki with the Doctor Bomb. Golden State Tag Team Title Match : The Dreamboats (Tommy Dreamer & Glamour Boy Shane) © vs. The Hollywood Heartbreakers (Jimmy Del Ray & Billy Black) The Hollywood Heartbreakers were set on making the most of their first tag title shot, and provided a fierce challenge to the Dreamboats before Shane hit the Casting Call (Rocker Dropper) on Black to successfully defend the titles. Pacific Heavyweight Title Match : Ricky Steamboat © vs. Buddy Rose The Playboy played his traditionally wily game to try to regain the title he held multiple times, until, right on schedule, Roddy Piper started sneaking down to ringside. Whatever the Hot Scot had in mind, it was interrupted when he was attacked from behind by the suddenly appearing Art Barr. The two started brawling, and this time, it was Rose who took advantage of the distraction by rolling up Steamboat and using a fistful of trunks as leverage. He nearly stole the title, but Steamboat kicked out just before the ref's hand hit the mat for the third time. Later in the match, however, the action spilled outside the ring. Steamboat had just nearly made it back into the ring by the 10 count, but Rose gabbed his legs, delaying him just enough to cause a double countout result.

Pacific Wrestling Showcase from the Portland Sports Arena, Portland , on ESPN / TSN, February 7th Barry Windham & The Thrillseekers vs. Brian Lee & The Suicide Blondes (Chris Candido & Louie Spicolli) Barry Windham may not have had much luck so far in recruiting new members of the Brigade, but he has slowly but surely rebuilt his reputation with several wins over top level opponents. After a double DQ finish with Brian Lee last week, Windham was determined to immediately give it another shot. For this match, he would be teaming with the upcoming duo of the Thrillseekers, and despite their inexperience, the gelled quite well with the Sweetwater native. They assisted Windham on a slingshot lariat that flattened Candido and gave them the win over the Playboy Club. A major victory that shows that Windham is back on the right track. Jason Jett vs. Dennis Condrey Jim Cornette has gotten his enforcer, Dennis Condrey, a string of shots at various titles, and Condrey has in turned managed a series of hard fought time limit draws. While that is impressive, you know that neither Cornette nor Condrey will be satisfied until there is gold around his waist. He seemed to be making a show of force with young Jason Jett of the Money Train, and while Jett certainly put up a fight, Condry wound up putting him down with authority, hitting the Full Nelson Facebuster to claim the victory. Nicely done, but it remains to be seen if he can seal the deal in a title match. Steve Blackman vs. Big Vito Lograsso Cornette's contract signing efforts don't end with the senior members of his team, as he continues to find high level opponents for his newest acquisitions, the Hollywood Heartbreakers. This time would be a singles match for "The Italian Stallion" Big Vito Lograsso, facing off with "The Lethal Weapon" Steve Blackman. A tall order, given that the members of the Citadel have been newly energized by their feud with the Hexagon, but Lograsso was going to give it a go. Vito gave a good accounting of himself, landing some big haymakers on Blackman while Steve fought back with blistering kicks. Lograsso even managed to get Blackman down on the mat and started raining down punches, only for Blackman to turn it around by twisting his arm and trapping him in a Cross Armbreaker. Despite his best efforts, Lograsso could not escape and was forced to tap out. Nonetheless, a good showing for the rookie. Iron & Steel (Tony Atlas & Larry Cameron) vs. Brook Geraghty & John Palyok There have been many up and coming teams that have been fighting to make their mark in PCW, but Iron & Steel have been in another league entirely. Ever since their return to the west coast, Atlas and Cameron have been tearing through the opposition, as Geraghty and Palyok discovered to their dismay. Iron & Steel battered and bludgeoned the rookies before Cameron polished off Palyok with the Harlem Hammer (running double axe handle to the back of the head) . Iron & Steel won't be satisfied until they sink their teeth into some top level competition. Shane Douglas & Big Bully Busick vs. Dean Malenko & Eddie Guerrero As mentioned before, the Citadel have been feuding with the Hexagon, and thus far, the Hexagon have generally had the upper hand. Two of the newest members of the Citadel, Douglas and Busick, were still going to give it their best go against two of the most experienced members of the Hexagon. Guerrero and Malenko certainly went all out with a well coordinated attack on the Citadel members. But it didn't take long for Douglas and Busick to find their rhythm, with the Big Bully in particular rocking the Hexagon with big power moves. The Hexagon didn't seem prepared for that, and the Man From Powerhouse Hill crushed Malenko with a Spinebuster Slam as Douglas held off Guerrero, giving the Citadel a major victory. Busick is proving to be possibly the biggest gun in the Citadel's arsenal. Bam Bam Bigelow vs. Fit Finlay Bam Bam Bigelow's quest to establish himself as his own man in PCW continues with him taking on one of the toughest men in the territory. The Fighting Irishman really took it to the Best From The East , with both men sporting bloody noses by the end of the match. But the power and athleticism of Bigelow were enough to carry the tide of battle, and Bigelow scored the pinfall with the Slingshot Splash.

Pacific Coast Wrestling show from the Kelowna Memorial Arena, Kelowna, February 2nd David Cash vs. Jimmy Del Ray Another battle between the Money Train and the Hollywood Heartbreakers, this time in singles match. Cash still seemed a bit shaken up from his match with Sabu earlier in the weekend, and despite a game effort on his part, Del Ray came out on top with the Moonsault Body Press. Steve Austin & Pierre Carl Ouellette vs. Chris Adams & Mike Awesome Ouellette came out with a black eye and taped ribs from the assault from Terry Gordy, but that didn't stop him from going fist and fire with the Diamond Exchange. It took a huge Awesome Bomb from Awesome to finally put him down for good. Dan Severn, Steve Blackman & Al Snow vs. Dean Malenko, Eddie Guerrero & Art Barr The hatred between the Citadel and the Hexagon was palpable in this blistering match. Though the Hexgon got the duke after a Frog Splash from Barr on Snow, both sides kept going after the bell, having to have security come out to separate the two sides. Golden State Tag Team Title Match : The Dreamboats (Tommy Dreamer & Glamour Boy Shane) © vs. The Fighting Irish (Fit Finlay & Erin O'Grady) Another successful defense for the Dreamboats, with Dreamer hitting a DDT on Finlay for the win. California Title Match : Steven Regal © vs. David Young Young is proving himself to be an absolute workhorse, having his second match this weekend against a top level opponent. Regal prevailed, but Young really made him work for it, with the Regal-Plex proving to be the difference maker.

Pacific Coast Wrestling show from the Pacific Coliseum, Vancouver on Pacific Super Cards on ESPN / TSN , February 1st Jerry Lynn vs. Rob Zakowski These two young stars in the making had a short but exciting match, with Zakowski coming out on top with the Split Legged Moonsault. Barry Windham vs. Brian Lee These two former teammates had a furious battle that went to a DQ win for Windham after Lee hit the Prime Time Slam on the ref when he tried to get between the two. Sgt. Slaughter & The Force Of July (The Patriot & The Eagle) vs. Dennis Condrey & The Midnight Express The war between these two sides raged on as the Eagle hit the Screaming Eagle (top rope missile dropkick) on Lane to give the result to Sarge and the FoJ. Shane Douglas vs. Steve Williams Williams crushed Douglas in dominant fashion with the Oklahoma Stampede. Pacific Tag Team Title Match : Phoenix Rising (Toshiaki Kawada & Kensuke Sasaki) © vs. Harlem Heat DDP's new team got their first title shot and presented a tough challenge to the Japanese team, but Phoenix Rising gutted it out and came out on top after Kawada put down Booker T with a Brainbuster. Pacific Heavyweight Title Match : Ricky Steamboat © vs. Gary Albright The members of the Terror Collective have been lining up to take their shots at the champ, and Albright presented a fearsome threat to his title reign, hitting some absolutely jarring suplexes on the Dragon. Steamboat was able to outlast Albright and take the match to a 30 minute time limit draw.

Pacific Wrestling Showcase from the Victoria Memorial Arena, Victoria, on ESPN / TSN, January 31st The Thrillseekers vs. The Suicide Blondes (Chris Candido & Louie Spicolli) For the past few weeks, the Thrillseekers have been thrilling the TV fans facing rookie teams, but this would be their first TV match against more experienced opposition. Considerable opposition indeed, as they would be facing two of the newest members of the Playboy Club, and the Blondes were full of dirty tricks that they unleashed against Jericho and Storm. The Thrillseekers were able to outlast Spicolli and Candido, taking down Candido with a double thrust kick for the win. Coast 2 Coast (John Tatum & Jack Victory) vs. Rory Freeman & Jonathan Libby After their shocking return at a house show last weekend, Tatum and Victory are clearly out to maintain the same winning standards they had maintained in their first run in PCW. The former Pacific Tag Team champs eagerly dismantled their opposition, putting down Libby with the Coastal Crunch (bridging back suplex by Victory into a bionic elbow by Tatum). Clearly, they are ravenous to hold gold again. David Cash vs. Sabu It didn't take long after the return of Sabu for him to gain a reputation as the Most Dangerous Man In Wrestling, and it wouldn't be hard to imagine wrestlers quaking in their boots at the thought of facing him. Young David Cash went against that and was quite eager to put his name on the bottom line of a contract, eager to prove himself by facing some top opposition. The Money Train member certainly gave in a sterling effort, refusing to back down and landing some exciting moves against the Bombay Madman. The ferocity of Sabu proved to much to overcome, however, and Sabu got the win after a slingshot somersault legdrop. Despite the loss, Cash was still able to shine in the eyes of the fans. Pierre Carl Ouellette vs. Terry Gordy Gordy finished off 1989 challenging for the Pacific Heavyweight Title, and while he was not able to regain the title he once held in such a dominant fashion, he is still one of the most feared wrestlers in PCW. Pierre Carl Ouellette didn't seem to have gotten that memo, as he took the fight right to the Terror Collective member, even giving him a bloody nose with a hard right cross. This caused Gordy to see red, both literally and figuratively, and he absolutely unloaded on PCO before finishing him off with a piledriver. Gordy's anger was still not abated, and he continued to put the boots to Ouellette until Bret Hart ran out with a chair. Hart managed to catch Gordy with a chair shot across the shoulders before Gordy bailed from the ring, but the former Freebird was clearly fuming as he went back to the locker room. Ouellette refused Harts assistance in getting up, but instead reached out to the ropes and got back to his feet by his own strength. This earned the Fighting French Canadian a high five from Hart and a big cheer from the fans. Jason Jett & Chris Hamrick vs. Big Vito Lograsso & Billy Black Ever since their arrival in Pacific Coast Wrestling, the paths of the Money Train and the Hollywood Heartbreakers have been intertwined. The two groups of young newcomers have had a series of exciting, fast paced matches. The bout went to the Money Train, with Hamrick catching Black in a Frankenhamrick for the victory, but you know this will just drive Jim Cornette's men to go after the Money Train even harder. Pacific Television Title Match : Shinya Hashimoto © vs. The Lightning Kid With all of the new factions and wrestlers showing up on the West Coast, possibly the one that has turned the most heads has been the Hexagon. With their feud with the Citadel and bold in ring style, the Sinister Minister's men have lit up arenas up and down the coast. The Lighting Kid engaged in a brutal showdown of kicks with the TV champ, and while the experience of Hashimoto was too much for the Kid to overcome, the Minnesota native got plenty of his own shots in before going down to the Leaping Spike DDT. A great showing for the Kid, with no doubt many more to come. Bret Hart vs. David Young While he is the youngest member of the Terror Collective, David Young has shown an eagerness to throw himself right into the fray, taking point in many of the Collective's battles. Tonight, he went toe to toe with the beloved Canadian star Bret Hart, and neither men held anything back. Unfortunately, as the match really started to get rolling, Terry Gordy rushed out to the ring and attacked Hart. Gordy was no doubt still stewing over Hart's intervention in his post match beatdown of Pierre Carl Ouellete, and Young joined him in his assault on the Hitman as the ref called for the DQ. Oullette and Shinya Hashimoto charged in to the defense of Hart, and Gordy and Young beat a hasty retreat, but something tells me that this is far from over.

Hogan and the Soul Patrol vs the Commission has all the potential to be an explosive feud.

Jimmy Golden vs. Leo Burke is a feud that just screams awesome.

Wow, Vader's arrival is a gamechanger! Warrior bounces back big time from the loss earlier in the evening to win the whole thing. Will this get him a shot at Rude?

Pacific Coast Wrestling Show from the UCSB Event Center, Santa Barbara, January 26th The Thrillseekers vs. The Fighting Irish (Fit Finlay & Erin O'Grady) The Thrillseekers avenged their loss to the Irish from two weeks before, hitting a double thrust kick on Finlay to score and impressive win. Billy Gunn vs. Dennis Condrey Both of these men are fighting to get into title contention, and ended up going to a 15 minute time limit draw. Barry Windham vs. Buddy Rose Despite the dirty tactics of the conniving Rose, his train completely derailed with an appearance at ringside of Roddy Piper. The distraction led to Windham nailing him with the Western Lariat and getting the win. The Money Train (Jason Jett, Chris Hamrick & David Cash) vs. The Hollywood Heartbreakers (Jimmy Del Ray, Big Vito Lograsso & Billy Black) Another thrilling match between these two sides, with Del Ray coming back from his loss earlier in the weekend and pinning Cash after a Moonsault body press Al Snow vs. Sabu A ferocious battle between these two that ended in complete chaos, with the ref declaring a no Contest 2/3 Falls Golden State Tag Team Title Match : The Dreamboats (Tommy Dreamer & Glamour Boy Shane) © vs. ?? ?? There was a lot of anticipation going into this title match, which had originally been slated to feature the Can-Am Express before their recent departure from the territory. There was plenty of buzz among the fans, given that the only thing announced about the challengers was that, like the Can-Ams, they would be former Pacific Tag Team champs. But even with that much of a hint, the crowd was caught off guard when out through the curtains rushed … John Tatum and Jack Victory, Coast 2 Coast! This duo had an incredible run as Pacific title holders during their last run in the territory, and seemed dead set on gaining more gold the moment they returned. They were incredibly aggressive with the Dreamboats, and after a brutal opening fall, shocked the fans by getting the first pinfall on Dreamer with the Coastal Crunch (high angle belly to back suplex by Victory into a Bionic Elbow Drop by Tatum). Their early success seemed to go to their heads, as they spent much of the next fall showboating. Tatum was directing much of his preening at Trisa Hayes, who was having none of it. This braggadocio would cost them, as it left Tatum so preoccupied that Dreamer was able to catch him by surprise with a backslide to even up the match. Coast 2 Coast got back down to business and redoubled their efforts to take the match, while the Dreamboats were equally determined to put an end to their challenge. The result wound up being a 45 minute time limit draw , with the teams finishing with one fall apiece. The fans left agog, not just at the great match but this major shakeup of the already highly competitive tag team division.

Pacific Coast Wrestling show from the LA Sports Arena, Los Angeles, on Pacific Super Cards on ESPN / TSN, January 25th Steve Austin vs. Stevie Ray "Stunning" Steve Austin clearly has a target on his back, and DDP took aim at it tonight with half of his new tag team Harlem Heat. Stevie Ray did his best to punish Austin, but Stunning Steve took it in stride and caught Ray in the Stun Gun for the win. Pierre Carl Ouellet vs. Ted Dibiase The always scrappy Fighting French-Canadian put up a considerable fight, but Dibiase scored the win with the Power Driver Fistdrop. Toshiaki Kawada vs. Mike Awesome Awesome overwhelmed one half of the Pacific Tag Team champs , scoring a dominant victory with the Awesome Bomb. Dan Severn , Shane Douglas & Big Bully Busick vs. Dean Malenko , Eddie Guerrero & Art Barr The war between the Citadel and the Hexagon continued in a pitched battle that ended with Busick putting down Guerrero with the Spinebuster Slam. Steve Blackman vs. Steve Williams Doctor Death has been on an absolute tear of late, and while the Lethal Weapon Steve Blackman did not go down easy, he did go down to the Oklahoma Stampede. Pacific Heavyweight Title Match : Ricky Steamboat © vs. Scotty The Body Scotty continued to present a considerable challenge to the Pacific Heavyweight Champion, but Steamboat ended the match standing tall after the Diving Cross Body Press.

Pacific Wrestling Showcase from the Olympic Auditorium , Los Angeles , on ESPN / TSN, January 24th The Patriot vs. Bobby Eaton The feud between the Force Of July and the Midnight Express has been heating up as the weeks go by. Not only was Jim Cornette in the corner of Eaton, but his teammates Stan Lane and Dennis Condrey, leading to Sgt. Slaughter and The Eagle to come out and back up the Patriot. This ended up being a very heated match that the Patriot was just barely able to take with the Patriot Missile. Things nearly blew up post match between the sides, but Cornette and Slaughter were able to hold back their men. It's bound to be explosive the next time all six men are in the ring together. The Oregon Wrecking Crew (Gary Albright & David Young) vs. Shawn Cohen & Osten Taylor The junior members of the Terror Collective have been coming on strong of late. They used this match as a show of strength, brutalizing their rookie opposition and beating them from pillar to post until Albright absolutely crushed Taylor with a German Suplex. More and more, it seems like the Terror Collective don't have any weak spots. Interview : Don Coss stands in the ring Coss : Ladies and gentlemen, my next guest has turned the world upside down since his return to PCW … "Rowdy" Roddy Piper! The crowd explodes in cheers as the Hot Scot charges out, a cheeky grin on his face and accompanied by the sound of bagpipes playing "Scotland The Brave". Coss : Roddy, while the fans certainly love you, you have also have made a fair number of enemies. Not only have you tormented "Playboy" Buddy Rose and the Playboy Club, but you seem to have upset Art Barr of the Hexagon. Piper : Awwww, it's just a little thing that Jellyroll and I do! He'd never admit it, but he loves my little shenanigans. They make his day, he gets that lovely colour in his cheeks … As for Artie, well, that's a special case. You see, I remember Little Artie, he was such a cute kid. His dad has always been a big part of this promotion, and Artie was always running around the locker room … it's a shame to see how he grew up. Didn't start out that way. Even when he was running around dressed as Michael Keaton … hey , I figured it was just a phase, and at least it gave him some personality. But now … running around with some Fez cult, like he is some Shriner, keeping bad company. Well, I am here to keep things real for him, remind him of where he comes from. In time, I hope …. He is interrupted as Barry Windham and Billy Gunn come through the entrance way and head to the ring. Piper seems unsurprised and in fact , is laughing when they enter the ring. Piper : Hoo boy, right on time! Let me guess … sorry to interrupt, the Brigade are recruiting, like the strut of my stuff, would I like to sign up? You must be desperate if you are looking to bring in this old bag of bones. Coss : Ummm, Roddy, you're only thirty five. Piper : Not the point, Donnie! Boys, boys, boys … this is beneath you! I know you've been taking some shots, but begging in the streets is not the way to go about it. Let your uncle Roddy give you some advice, free of charge. You guys have taken some shots, sure. We all have our low points. Hell, did you see Hell Comes To Frogtown? Windham : Ummm, no. Piper : Of course you didn't , nobody did! My point, and I do have one, is this. No matter what you have gone through, you are the Brigade. You are the best of the best. Just keep showing what you've got, and sooner or later, the right wrestlers will come to you. It's just a matter of time. Bam Bam Bigelow vs. Masahiro Chono The Beast From The East continues his quest to make 1990 his own by taking on the always intimidating junior half of the Blood Syndicate. Chono proved to be as fierce a competitor as could be imagined, and laid in some hellacious shots on the big New Jersey native. Bigelow withstood the onslaught, then came back with his own power moves before finishing off Chono by going up top and hitting the Nuclear Splash. Bigelow continues to be one to watch on the West Coast. Jason Jett & Chris Hamrick vs. The Lightning Kid & Rob Zakowski This match would be a showcase for some of the incredible young talent on the rise here in Pacific Coast Wrestling. The Money Train and the Hexagon have been generating a lot of buzz with their daredevil style and moves, and put on a brilliant display of high flying action. Jason Jett came incredibly close with the Crash Landing (rolling release suplex) on Zakowski, but it would be a top rope flying legdrop from the heavens by Lightning Kid on Hamrick that would take the match. The future of PCW definitely looks to be in good hands with these young rookies. California Title Match : Steven Regal © vs. Jimmy Del Ray The show closed off with a California Title match between champion Steven Regal and the recently returned Jimmy Del Ray. Del Ray, encouraged by his manager Jim Cornette, went all in on Regal with cheap shots and aggressive moved, doing a fair amount of damage. But Regal hasn't been a dominant champion by rolling over for anyone, and started laying in his own heavy shots on Del Ray, finally prevailing with the Regal-Plex. If Cornette wants to get the California Title into Camp Cornette , it will take a hell of a lot of effort.

PCW sends Doug Furnas and Phil Lafon to the AWA to make room for Tatum and Victory.

Called it (as did JRH)

Pacific Coast Wrestling show from the Selland Arena, Fresno, January 19th The Thrillseekers vs. The Suicide Blondes (Chris Candido & Louie Spicolli) The Thrillseekers showed their inexperience when they fell victim to the subterfuge of the Blondes, with Spicolli torpedoing Jericho from behind and setting him up for a running splash from Candido. The Money Train (Jason Jett, Chris Hamrick & David Cash) vs. The Hollywood Heartbreakers (Jimmy Del Ray, Big Vito Lograsso & Billy Black) Another fun match between these two trios, with Cash pinning Black following the Bankruptcy (elevated cradle neckbreaker) Toshiaki Kawada vs. Terry Gordy Like his partner Steve Williams the day before, Gordy soundly defeated a member of Phoenix Rising, this time with a Power Bomb. Steve Blackman vs. Brian Lee Despite Blackman putting up a good fight, the Bulldozer took him down with the Prime Time Slam. Golden State Tag Team Title Match : The Dreamboats (Tommy Dreamer & Glamour Boy Shane) © vs. The Lightning Kid & Rob Zakowski It didn't take long for the rookie team from the Hexagon to get themselves a title shot, and while they were a lot for the Dreamboats to handle, Dreamer caught Lightning Kid in the Tomikaze to successfully defend their titles. Pacific Light Heavyweight Title Match : Dragon Azul © vs. Eddie Guerrero The weekend closed out with an incredible Light Heavyweight Title match with Dragon just barely able to pull out the win with the Asai Moonsault

Pacific Coast Wrestling show from the Cow Palace , San Francisco, on Pacific Super Cards on ESPN / TSN, January 18th Big Bully Busick & Shane Douglas vs. Dean Malenko & Art Barr The war between the Citadel and the Hexagon raged on, with Malenko hitting a brainbuster on Douglas to set him up for a Frog Splash from Barr, giving the win to the Sinister Minister's men. Bam Bam Bigelow vs. David Young Bigelow showed his resolve in this fierce bout with the tough rising young star of the Terror Collective, pinning Young with a Slingshot Splash. Kensuke Sasaki vs. Steve Williams Williams continued to roll over the opposition, crushing one half of the Pacific Tag Team champions with the Oklahoma Stampede. Billy Gunn vs. Buddy Rose Rose was constantly off balance in this match, regularly looking around for Roddy Piper. Sure enough, Piper made an appearance at the back of the arena, waving to Rose. This proved enough of a distraction that Gunn caught the Playboy in a Schoolboy Rollup and got the one two three. Steve Austin, Steven Regal & Pierre Carl Ouellet vs. Chris Adams & Harlem Heat As if the interview the day before wasn't confirmation enough, Diamond Dallas Page sent his men after Steve Austin to punish him for leaving their ranks. This led to an incredibly heated match which went to the Diamond Exchange with Adams nailing PCO with a superkick to the back of the head. Pacific Heavyweight Title Match : Ricky Steamboat © vs. Scotty The Body At the start of the year, Buddy Rose declared Scotty The Body a superstar of the future, and his young charge lived up to his faith in him, going the distance in a 30 minute Time Limit Draw with the Pacific Heavyweight champ.

Pacific Wrestling Showcase from the Oakland Alameda County Arena, Oakland, on ESPN / TSN, January 17th Stan Lane vs. The Eagle Pretty much from the moment they reunited in PCW, the Force Of July have had a fierce rivalry with Jim Cornette's Midnight Express. Some early defeats have sent the Midnights scrambling, and for this singles match, Lane took every short cut that he could to get the best of the Eagle. Even that was not enough, and it took Jim Cornette hitting the Eagle coming off the ropes with his loaded tennis racquet, which set the Eagle up for a Savate kick from Lane, to steal away the win. That got the Midnight Express on the scoreboard, but you can be certain the FOJ won't take this lying down. The Thrillseekers vs. Roger Sexton & Ryan Shoulders It didn't take long for the Thrillseekers to become major fan favorites in PCW. Pretty much upon their arrival on the West Coast, the good natured duo have been embraced by the fans, both for their high flying action inside the ring and their happy go lucky attitudes outside the ring. They provided their traditional thrill ride in this match, with a dazzling double dropkick on Shoulders leading to Jericho forcing him to tap out to the Walls Of Jericho. The Thrillseekers are clearly riding high. Interview : Don Coss stands in the ring Coss : Ladies and gentlemen, my next guest is one of the leading lights of the new era of Pacific Coast Wrestling … "Stunning" Steve Austin! The crowd cheers as Austin heads out, bearing his traditional smirk as he idly slaps palms along the way. Coss : Well, Steve, I would never have believed it as early as a few months ago, but the fans certainly have taken to you. Austin : Well, that's good for them, I guess. I don't think I have changed that much, I don't look out ways to make them like me. But I've got to admit, it does feel pretty good … Austin is interrupted by a hubbub from the crowd. Just like last week, Barry Windham and Billy Gunn come through the entrance way and head for the interview area. Austin initially looks irritated, but composes himself before they reach him. Windham : Real sorry to interrupt you, Steve, but wanted to speak to you while we had the chance. I'm sure you know the deal, we won't waste more of your time than we have to. The Brigade is recruiting, and we like the cut of your jib. What do you say? Austin : Well, you were blunt with me, so I will do the same. When I first came to PCW, people saw me as Bret Hart's boy. It took a lot, but he and I came to an understanding. Then I started working with Diamond Dallas Page, but he started treating me like I was his boy. That's why I told him to hit the road. I'm nobody's boy, I am a grown ass man. And I am my own man. I am not about to join any group. So, while I appreciate the offer, I've got to say no. Stormfront (Al Snow & Jerry Lynn) vs. The Fighting Irish (Fit Finlay & Erin O'Grady) They had a bit of a rough start last week int heir first outing as a team, but the new version of Stormfront are back and ready to go. The Fighting Irish were as pugnacious as always, but Snow and Lynn were well in synch, and were able to pin O'Grady following the Storm Warning (modified double Flapjack that drives the opponent down onto his head). It looks like Stormfront are razor keen to get back in the fray with the Hexagon. Roddy Piper vs. Art Barr Speaking of the Hexagon, one of their members would be taking on a PCW legend, former Pacific Heavyweight champ "Rowdy" Roddy Piper. Piper seemed to delight in taunting and tormenting Barr as much as he did the Playboy Club, but despite his clear agitation (for which the Sinister Minister had to call him over a few times to calm him down), Barr worked hard to retain focus and actually held his own against the Hot Scot. Despite that, the match descended into chaos when the Playboy Club charged into the ring to attack Piper, leading to a DQ finish. Piper swiftly dodged out of the ring and ran out to the locker room, cackling all the way. Art Barr was clearly furious, but whether it was with the Playboy Club or Piper remains to be seen. Chris Hamrick vs. Sabu In their short time in PCW, the members of the Money Train have jumped straight into the deep end of action and sought out some of the toughest opposition. "Confederate Currency" Chris Hamrick would be facing another member of the Hexagon, the always sadistic Sabu. Hamrick put in a brave effort, withstanding Sabu's offense while getting shots of his own. But the Madman From Bombay ultimately proved to be too much, finishing off Hamrick with the Moonsault. Good showing nonetheless, Chris. Pacific Television Title Match : Shinya Hashimoto © vs. Dennis Condrey Condrey has been a major game changer for Camp Cornette since his return, and the Louisville Lip has shown his appreciation by putting "Loverboy" Dennis in the forefront for as many title shots as he can get. Last week, Condrey went the distance with California champ Steven Regal, and once again, Condrey fought his way to a 20 minute time limit draw with TV title holder Shinya Hashimoto. An impressive showing. But does he have what it takes to finally take the gold?

Can't wait to see what 1990 brings to the AWA! Love the Swords Of Light but super keen to see what the Mavericks do.

Pacific Coast Wrestling show from McArthur Court, Eugene, January 12th The Thrillseekers vs. The Fighting Irish (Fit Finlay & Erin O'Grady) The Thrillseekers dazzled the crowd with their high flying moves, but Finlay's toughness and experience was too much to overcome, and the Belfast Bruiser took the win with the Rolling Hills on Jericho. Pierre Carl Ouellet vs. Mike Awesome Awesome was not able to roll over Ouellet like he had much of his other opponents, and the Fighting French-Canadian was even able to bloody the big man's nose with a wild swinging haymaker. Ultimately, though, the sheer power of Awesome got the win with the Awesome Bomb. The Money Train (Jason Jett, Chris Hamrick & David Cash) vs. The Hollywood Heartbreakers (Jimmy Del Ray, Big Vito Lograsso & Billy Black) Another exciting battle between these two trios that went to the Money Train, with Hamrick catching Del Ray in a Frankenhamrick. California Title Match : Steven Regal © vs. Dennis Condrey Jim Cornette's enforcer took the California champ to a 20 minute time limit draw. Bam Bam Bigelow vs. David Young The Beast From East took on the youngest member of the Terror Collective, and while Young showed incredible ferocity, Bigelow came out on top with a Slingshot Splash. Pacific Light Heavyweight Title Match : Dragon Azul © vs. Phil Lafon The evening closed out with a great Light Heavyweight match, with Dragon breaking out the Cancun Tornado to defend his title.

Pacific Coast Wrestling show from the Portland Memorial Coliseum , Portland , on Pacific Super Cards on ESPN / TSN, January 11th Steve Williams vs. Doug Furnas Commerce, Oklahoma native Furnas locked up with Oklahoma Sooner Williams in a smash mouth match that Williams took with a crushing Doctor Bomb on Furnas. Billy Gunn & The Dreamboats (Tommy Dreamer & Glamour Boy Shane) vs. Buddy Rose, Scotty The Body & Brian Lee The Playboy Club were taking a particularly hard line with their opposition, with some especially fiery exchanges between Lee and Gunn. Then the crowd started buzzing as Roddy Piper appeared at ringside. Tina Ferrari immediately started getting in his face, but this only made Hot Rod laugh even more. Ultimately , his presence proved enough of a distraction that Buddy Rose started jawing with Rowdy Roddy from inside the ring. Big mistake, as Billy Gunn dropkicked him from behind and sent him flying out of the ring. When Rose recovered, he tried to chase after Piper, but Piper nimbly dashed out of the ring, and Gunn and the Dreamboats got the win by countout. The Force Of July (The Patriot & The Eagle) vs. The Midnight Express The returning Force Of July were truly fired up for this match, and despite the attempted skullduggery of Jim Cornette and his men, the FOJ got the win with a mighty double flying shoulderblock on Lane. The Citadel (Dan Severn, Steve Blackman, Al Snow, Jerry Lynn, Shane Douglas & Big Bully Busick) vs. The Hexagon (The Lightning Kid, Rob Zakowski, Art Barr, Eddie Guerrero, Dean Malenko & ?? ??) There was much anticipation for this match, both as the first appearance in the ring of the new Citadel and the revelation of the sixth corner of the Hexagon. The Citadel came out first, looking wary but ready for battle. The Hexagon came out next, the Sinister Minister leading followed by all six men wearing hooded cloaks. When they got to the ring, the five known members removed their cloaks. The Sinister Minister raised both hands with six fingers extended and started nodding his head. He then snapped his fingers and the last cloak dropped revealing …. SABU! The Bombay Madman was making his return to the West Coast in the ranks of the Hexagon! The match quickly got down to brass tacks. The Hexagon got in an early lead, with their ferocity and flashy offense. But the Citadel dug in and showed what they were made of. Busick got in some big power moves, and Severn's technical mastery was clear as he held his own with both Malenko and Guerrero. Meanwhile, Snow and Lynn showed instant chemistry as the new version of Stormfront, having some fast paced exchanges with Zakowski and Lighting Kid. The match ended with all 12 wrestlers in the ring, and Sabu managing to hit a quick Moonsault on Lynn to get the pinfall. Regardless, both sides kept going after the bell, and it took considerable effort from the PCW officials to get things back under control. Given Commissioner Dutch Savage's recent penchant for firings, Dan Severn and the Sinister Minister got their respective teams in line and got them back to the locker rooms. The Hexagon may have won this battle, but the war is only just beginning. Pacific Tag Team Title Match : Phoenix Rising (Toshiaki Kawada & Kensuke Sasake) © vs. The Suicide Blondes (Chris Candido & Louie Spicolli) The Blondes showed their renewed contest as they gave the champs a real run for their money, and while Kawada was able to pin Spicolli with a Tiger Suplex, it was an incredibly close call. Pacific Heavyweight Title Match : Ricky Steamboat © vs. Chris Adams Adams got a rematch from the previous week, and while he tore into the champ with a mix of technical moves and dirty tactics, the Dragon hit a diving cross body block to successfully defend his title.

Pacific Wrestling Showcase from the Portland Sports Arena, Portland , on ESPN / TSN, January 10th The Thrillseekers vs. Jed Hildebrand & Robb Zbacnik The young team of the Thrillseekers have been rapidly gaining a lot of support from the fanbase with their good natured charm and high flying moves. They dazzled the crowd with lightning quick offense, as Lance Storm forced Zbacnik to tap out to the rolling Canadian Maple Leaf. They are only a few weeks into their career, but the Thrillseekers are clearly on the road to big things. Interview : Don Coss stands in the Crow's Nest Coss : Ladies and gentlemen, my next guest is none other than the Beast From The East himself … Bam Bam Bigelow! The crowd cheers as Bigelow, bearing his usual gap toothed grin, high fives them on his way to the Crow's Nest. Coss : Well, Bam Bam, you certainly seem to be in a good mood today. Bigelow : What can I say, Don? Life's been pretty good to me. I get to do what I love in front of the best fans in the world, and I … He is interrupted as Barry Windham and Billy Gunn appear and head out to the Crow's Nest. Bigelow is quite attentive as the two approach him. Windham : Bam Bam, we are so sorry to interrupt your time here, but we really wanted to speak to you and didn't want to miss the opportunity. As everybody knows, the Brigade are coming off a pretty tough year. We took some blows and are down a few men. We are looking to regroup and reorganize, and we think you are ideal to be a member. What do you say? Bigelow : Guys … all respect, really. Let me tell you about my last year. I thought I had a pretty good year, and ended it at San Diego Battleground. I was in my boy Bret's corner for his cage match with Steve Austin. It was a hell of a match, and he came out on top. I was so psyched. But things changed when we got back to the locker room. Bret took me aside and told me that he didn't want to see me in his corner ever again. I was stunned, and actually pretty hurt. But then he explained. He told me that I was one of the best wrestlers in all of PCW, and I didn't even have a match of my own at the biggest show of the year. He said he always appreciated my support, but I was way too good to be anybody's cheerleader. It was time for me to stand out on my own and to show everyone how great I am. I realized … he was right. Sometimes, a good friend will be one who gives you a kick in the butt. Motivates you to go out on your own. I was a member of the Army. I was part of the Diamond Exchange. Then I was Bret's buddy. He and I are still friends, but I need to be my own man. If you need a friend, if you ever need a hand, hey, my door is open. But I can't accept your offer. The Money Train (Jason Jett, Chris Hamrick & David Cash) vs. Ted Dibiase & The Oregon Wrecking Crew (Gary Albright & David Young) The Money Train made a big impression in their debut match at the New Years Day Celebration, turning a lot of heads with their moves and enthusiasm. Tonight, they would experience a trial by fire, being thrown into the proverbial lion's den against the Terror Collective. They acquitted themselves well, frustrating their opposition with hit and run tactics and quickly tagging in and out. That came crashing down when Dibiase took control, ordering his men to get more ruthless and taking the win with a powerslam off the ropes on Hamrick. In spite of the loss, the Money Train still showed considerable promise, and certainly have nothing to feel embarrassed about in their efforts. Interview : Don Coss stands in the Crow's Nest Coss : Ladies and gentlemen, my next guests are experiencing a lot of changes already in the New Year … the Citadel! The fans cheer them on as Dan Severn, Steve Blackman and Al Snow head out to the Crow's Nest. Severn is his usual stoic self, but Blackman and Snow have worried looks on their faces. Blackman : Don, if it's alright, we can take things from here. * Coss graciously steps back * Al, got to say, we are concerned. I know losing Alex as your partner was a major shakeup. These creeps in the Hexagon ganging up on you is a lot to deal with. But when you had to take them on is a six man tag, you went to Malenko and Guerrero, and they all ambushed you. Why didn't you turn to us? We would have gladly backed you up. Look, if you need a partner, we are here for you . You and I can recreate the Lethal Weapons, just like the good old days. Snow : No, Steve , I won't let you do that. You and Dan have been doing so well in singles matches … it was my fault that Stormfront fell apart, and it was my fault I was tricked by the Hexagon. I just wanted to show that I could contribute to the Citadel too. I'll figure it out on my own, find a new partner … He gets cut off as, once again, someone else appears and heads to the Crow's Nest. It's Shane Douglas, accompanied by Big Bully Busick and Jerry Lynn. Douglas : My sincere apologies, gentlemen, but I believe we can be of some help. We all know each other. At different times, we have been part of Leo Burke's Army. Leo has moved on to new challenges, but I think we have all learned vital lessons. One I remember is that, if a friend needs help, you help them. I know you guys are facing a big twelve man tag match with the Hexagon tomorrow night. Bad enough you need to find three more guys, but you still don't know who their sixth man is going to be. Well, look no further. Al … Jerry here is a top flight wrestler and an incredible partner. Accept us into the Citadel, and he can help Stormfront fly again. And if you have to face the unknown, there is nobody better to have watching your back than the Big Bully here. Busick : That's right. I made some mistakes when I came back to PCW. Jim Cornette turned me into the Big Bully. I know I can't turn back the clock, but I can move forward. Now I am the Big Bully who bullies other bullies! I didn't like the Hexagon ganging up on you, Al , and I hated that Malenko and Guerrero lied to you and stabbed you in the back. Let me at them and I will make them regret they ever showed their faces on the West Coast. What do you say? Severn : Well, what I say is … welcome to the Citadel! Harlem Heat vs. Ryan Aiken & Daniel Lue Another team quickly making their mark on the PCW tag division are Diamond Dallas Page's duo of Booker T and Stevie Ray . Harlem Heat barely let Aiken and Lue a chance to breathe. They tossed the rookies from pillar to post with seeming ease, Booker T polishing off Lue with the Bookend. DDP is certainly not about to fade into the background. Steve Austin vs. Pierre Carl Ouellet Someone who seems to wish that Page would fade into the background, or even disappear entirely, is Steve Austin. Despite his clear desire to distance himself from the Diamond Exchange, Stunning Steve keeps having DDP show up during his matches. This time, he showed up before the match even got underway, with Ouellet standing patiently in his corner while Austin and Page jawed at each other. Austin even left the ring to, ahem, encourage Page to return to the locker room, only for Chris Adams and Harlem Heat to rush out and attack Austin at the behest of their manager. They only got in a few shots before Ouellet grabbed a steel chair from ringside and brandished it, causing them to retreat back to the locker room. It looks like the separation of Austin from the Diamond Exchange is turning into an ugly divorce. Roddy Piper vs. Chris Candido Since Roddy Piper's return to the west coast, he has made it his personal goal to bedevil Buddy Rose and the Playboy Club. In his first in ring appearance of the comeback, he finds himself facing one of the young guns of the Club, who was determined to nip Piper's threat in the bud. He came at Piper quite aggressively, but Piper's cat and mouse tactics were able to keep Candido rattled and off kilter. That said, when Candido was able to land one of his big moves, they had impact, and Piper seemed to become impressed by the Suicide Blonde. Candido looked to be trying to put Piper down with a running bulldog headlock, but the Hot Scot countered it with a belly to back suplex and held his shoulders down for the three count. The Playboy Club then ran out to waylay him, but Hot Rod swiftly bailed out of the ring and scampered off into the night. Pacific Television Title Match : Shinya Hashimoto © vs. Big Vito Lograsso Shinya Hashimoto has had an incredible TV title reign, seeing off a host of top flight contenders and still stands proud as champion. Big Vito is very new to PCW, but between his own toughness and his manager Jim Cornette's power and influence, he got his own shot at the champ. While Hashimoto's skill and experience kept the match well in hand, the Italian Stallion did land some heavy blows and got out of some narrow scrapes before Hashimoto took him down for good with a Brainbuster. A foregone conclusion, perhaps, but a good showing nonetheless for the rookie.
