Pacific Wrestling Showcase from the Olympic Auditorium , Los Angeles , on ESPN / TSN, August 22nd Chris Hamrick vs. Sabu Hamrick and Sabu are both young contenders on the rise on the west coast. Both of them are mustard keen on keeping their momentum going, resulting in an incredibly fast paced match. Both men landed some exciting moves until Sabu knocked Hamrick out of the ring with a spinning back heel kick, then followed up with a suicide dive. The two exchanged punches and kicks until the ref counted both men out of the ring. No doubt that round two will be forthcoming. Dean Malenko vs. Bill Posely In his time in Pacific Coast Wrestling, the Iceman has held many titles and shown himself to be a master of technical excellence. He may have a big challenge ahead of him with his match with TV champ Big Bully Busick, he handily dispatched Posely with a jarring Brainbuster. Malenko may well prove to be the toughest opposition for Busick's title reign. The Thunder Dragons (Jushin Liger & Dragon Azul) vs. Art Barr & Rob Zakowski Since their recent formation in PCW, the Peach Patrol have been fighting a war on two fronts, dueling with both the Playboy Club and the Hexagon. Peaches was a vocal presence at ringside for the Thunder Dragons, as was the Sinister Minister for his men. The two teams were very familiar with each other, so the result was a tense battle with each team matching each other , move for move. It ended up going to the Hexagon, with Barr pinning Dragon with a super quick Sunset Flip. No shame in that for the Thunder Dragons, as the Light Heavyweight champ is on top of his game. Pacific Submission Title Match : Steve Blackman © vs. Eddie Guerrero Another title holder, one who has quietly maintained a secure hold on his championship, is Submission champ Steve Blackman. No matter what challengers have come knocking at his door, the Living Weapon has readily dispatched them with a cool poise. Granted, former champ Guerrero certainly have Blackman plenty to deal with, but Steve was able to take down the fiery second generation wrestler with a legsweep before forcing him to tap out to a single leg crab in the middle of the ring. The Living Weapon continues to stand tall. Interview : Don Coss stands in the ring Coss : Ladies and gentlemen, my next guest is one of the legends of the West Coast … "Rowdy" Roddy Piper! The crowd roars into cheers as "Scotland The Brave" plays over the arena PA and Hot Rod rushes out, eagerly slapping palms with the fans. Coss : Roddy, the fans sure do love you, but one person who certainly doesn't is "Bulldozer" Brian Lee. Piper : Donnie Boy, you ain't lyin'! That big hunk of machinery has been a tree that has been blocking my way for some time, and it is past due to come down. What is he, a California redwood ? A Florida Sycamore? Well I don't care, because I keep hidden in my kilt a big ole Scottish chopper, and I am ready to let it swing! (Coss looks confused) Hot Rod packs the biggest axe in the forest, and it won't be long before we hear a big TIMBERRRRRR! Lee, Phoenix Firestorm , that is where I am cutting you down to the ground! Rick Martel vs. The Lightning Kid The show closed off with Rick Martel on the verge of his biggest match since his return to the West Coast, challenging Ted Dibiase for the Pacific Heavyweight Title. Before that, he would face an incredibly game Lightning Kid. Kid proved to be quite a handful, and he did a credible job in his battle with the French Canadian legend, but Martel was ultimately able to prevail with a slingshot splash. Next stop : Phoenix Firestorm .

Pacific Coast Wrestling show from the Selland Arena, Fresno, August 17th Shane Douglas vs. Billy Black Hot on the trail of Dennis Condrey's California Title match, Douglas took down Billy Black with the Belly To Belly Suplex. Jushin Liger vs. The Lightning Kid A thrilling light heavyweight bout that went to Liger with a running Liger Bomb. Makhan Singh vs. Tommy Dreamer Steven Regal has his work cut out for him, with his Phoenix Firestorm opponent showing his dominance as he destroyed Dreamer with the Monster Mash (Front Slam). Bam Bam Bigelow vs. Stevie Ray The Beast From The East overwhelmed one half of Harlem Heat, defeating him with a slingshot splash. California Title Match : Dennis Condrey © vs. Glamour Boy Shane Leading up to his title defense against Shane Douglas, Condrey took on another Shane in one half of the Dreamboats. The Glamour Boy gave in a game effort before being defeated by an Inverted DDT. Pacific Light Heavyweight Title Match : Art Barr © vs. Dragon Azul This was an epic , long title defense where Barr finally coming out on top with a Tombstone followed by his trademark Frog Splash.

Pacific Coast Wrestling show from the Cow Palace , San Francisco, on Pacific Super Cards on ESPN / TSN, August 16th Chris Hamrick vs. Jimmy Del Ray Hamrick continued his run of impressive performances, pinning the Gigolo with the Franken-Hamrick. Pierre Carl Ouellet vs. Buddy Rose Ouellet's war with the Playboy Club rolled on. Taking on the Playboy himself, PCO had Rose lined up for the Cannonball when, once again, Tina Ferrari attempted to shove him off the turnbuckle. Ouellet caught her and proceeded to chase Ferrari around the ring before he was waylaid by Scotty The Body, who took him down with a Body Shot (DDT) on the concrete. Rose conveniently distracted the ref while all this was going on, stealing the win by countout. Barry Windham vs. Booker T Last week, Chris Adams took down one of the members of the Brigade. This week, Windham returned the favor, pinning League Of Gentlemen member Booker T following a Superplex. Fans are eagerly awaiting Windham and Adams finally going one on one. Golden State Tag Team Title Match : The Oregon Wrecking Crew (Gary Albright & David Young) © vs. Jason Jett & David Cash Young bounced back from his earlier loss by taking out Cash with the Spinebuster Slam , successfully defending the Golden State titles. Bret Hart vs. Scotty The Body The Hitman avenged his friend PCO's loss by battering Scotty from pillar to post, submitting him to the Sharpshooter. Pacific Heavyweight Title Match : Ted Dibiase © vs. Dan Severn Dibiase seemed to immediately regret signing the contract with Severn, who proved a particularly fearsome challenger. No matter what Dibiase threw at Severn, the leader of the Citadel kept raging back with weardown holds and suplexes. Dibiase tried to take the low road, pulling his loaded glove out of his trunks. His plans were thwarted by Severn kicking it out of his hands before he could put it on. Dibase desperately tried to pick it back up off the ground, but Severn savagely stomped hard on his hand. The Beast seemed to become truly enraged, stomping the hand of Means over and over again as Dibiase writhed in pain before Severn started pummeling him with his own loaded glove . This led to a DQ, but that was little comfort for Dibiase , who was clearly in agony as he left the ring . Not a great omen for his upcoming title defense against Rick Martel.

Pacific Wrestling Showcase from the Oakland Alameda County Arena, Oakland, on ESPN / TSN, August 15th Rob Zakowski vs. Matt Quinlan One of the many high points of PCW's 1990 rookie class has been young Rob Zakowski. While he is affiliated with the sinister Hexagon, the Michigan native has gathered a bit of a cult following for his daredevil style and death defying moves. Zakowski completely overwhelmed Quinlan before polishing him off with a spectacular Split Legged Moonsault. It looks like the sky is the limit for young Zakowski. The Thrillseekers vs. The Midnight Express In their long history with PCW, the Midnight Express have consistently been either champions or contenders for any titles they set their mind to. In spite of their unscrupulous tactics and Jim Cornette's big mouth, there is no denying that they are an incredibly skilled team who have taken on all challengers. Currently two thirds of the Pacific Trios champs, Lane and Eaton took on a duo of hungry young contenders in the Thrillseekers. The younger members of the Brigade were eager to show that they had what it takes, and gave a good accounting of themselves. There was no getting around the teamwork of the Express, taking down Storm with a double goozle. No doubt about it, the Midnight Express remain the benchmark for tag team excellence. Pacific Television Title Match : Big Bully Busick © vs. Eddie Guerrero At Deseret Storm, Dean Malenko pulled off a major upset by pinning dominant TV champ Big Bully Busick. Malenko will get his shot at the title at Phoenix Firestorm, but first Busick will face Malenko's partner, Eddie Guerrero. The second generation wrestler gave a concerted effort , keeping the beloved champion on his toes with his bold offense. In the end, he got too bold, running straight into a devastating Spinebuster Slam. Time will tell if Busick can pull this off against the Iceman. Steven Regal vs. John Tatum Months ago, John Tatum brought Makhan Singh into PCW to terrorize all and sundry. The man determined to put a stop to his rampage is the English Lion himself, Steven Regal. Before he would face Singh at Phoenix Firestorm, Regal would square off with the Monster's Boss, Hollywood John. Tatum tried his usual tricks and treachery, but Regal was having none of it, flattening Tatum with a spinning forearm smash before forcing him to tap out to the Regal Stretch. No doubt about it, Regal is coming into Phoenix Firestorm at full speed. Rick Martel vs. David Young Rick Martel is gunning hard for Ted Dibiase and his Pacific Heavyweight Title. The Man Of Means certainly knows this could well be his toughest challenge yet, so he is sending the youngest member of the Terror Collective in as a road block. Young landed some hard shots and did all he could, but Martel had a considerable experience advantage and was riding incredible momentum. Martel was able to catch Young in a sunset flip and held him down for the three count. Martel is clearly primed and ready for his big title shot.

Batten down the hatches, OMG vs Bad News is going to be a hell of a match.

Pacific Coast Wrestling Phoenix Firestorm from Arizona Veterans Memorial Coliseum, Phoenix, Night Two The Dreamboats (Tommy Dreamer & Glamour Boy Shane) vs. The Midnight Express Shinya Hashimoto vs. Toshiaki Kawada The Sons Of The Beach (Cannonball Grizz & The Sandman) vs. The Suicide Blondes Fit Finlay vs. Big Vito Lograsso Jushin Liger vs. Eddie Guerrero Steven Regal vs. Makhan Singh Al Snow vs. Sabu Roddy Piper vs. Brian Lee Bam Bam Bigelow vs. Mike Awesome Pacific Tag Team Title Match : The Miracle Violence Combination © vs. Dan Severn & Steve Blackman Pacific Television Title Match : Big Bully Busick © vs. Dean Malenko Pacific Heavyweight Title Match : Ted Dibiase © vs. Rick Martel

We are a few weeks away from the next great PCW Mega Show, Phoenix Firestorm, but we just can't wait any longer to reveal the full lineup. Lot of great matchups in store, bound to be several PCW classics. Pacific Coast Wrestling Phoenix Firestorm from Arizona Veterans Memorial Coliseum, Phoenix, Night One The Thrillseekers vs. Coast 2 Coast Barry Windham vs. Chris Adams David Cash & Jason Jett vs. Jimmy Del Ray & Billy Black Sgt. Slaughter vs. Genichiro Tenryu Chris Hamrick vs. Rob Zakowski Jerry Lynn vs. The Lightning Kid Bret Hart & Pierre Carl Ouellet vs. Buddy Rose & Scotty The Body Iron & Steel (Tony Atlas & Larry Cameron) vs. Harlem Heat California Title Match : Dennis Condrey © vs. Shane Douglas Golden State Tag Team Title Match : The Oregon Wrecking Crew (Gary Albright & David Young) © vs. The Force Of July (The Patriot & The Eagle) Pacific Light Heavyweight Title Match : Art Barr © vs. Too Cold Scorpio

Pacific Coast Wrestling show from McArthur Court, Eugene, August 10th Pacific Trios Title Match : The Midnight Express © vs. David Cash, Chris Hamrick & Jason Jett The Money Train put in a game effort to regain the Trios Titles, but the experience of Cornette’s men spelled the difference, as Condrey took down Cash with an Inverted DDT. Bam Bam Bigelow vs. Jack Victory Bigelow overwhelmed the Big V, pinning his fellow New Jersey native with a slingshot splash. The Dreamboats (Tommy Dreamer & Glamour Boy Shane) vs. Sabu & Rob Zakowski The Hexagon duo showed they were another team to watch against the former Golden State Tag Team champs, taking out Shane with the Rolling Thunder. Shane Douglas vs. John Tatum Shane Douglas continued his rise, prevailing over Hollywood John by pinning him with the Belly To Belly Suplex. Golden State Tag Team Title Match : The Oregon Wrecking Crew (Gary Albright & David Young) © vs. The Force Of July (The Patriot & The Eagle) The patriotic pairing put quite a scare into the champs, getting several near falls over the OWC. Albright and Young took the cheap way out, double teaming the Eagle and slugging the ref when he intervened, earning a DQ finish. Art Barr, Eddie Guerrero & Dean Malenko vs. Jushin Liger, Dragon Azul & Too Cold Scorpio The evening closed with a long and exciting Light Heavyweight six man. There were plenty of high points in the match, but the final decision went to Liger, who pinned Art Barr with a running Liger Bomb.

Pacific Coast Wrestling show from the Portland Memorial Coliseum , Portland , on Pacific Super Cards on ESPN / TSN, August 9th Lance Storm vs. Toshiaki Kawada Kawada continued his leader’s path of viciousness, brutalizing Storm before forcing him to tap out to the Kawada Crab. Dan Severn & Steve Blackman vs. The Suicide Blondes Severn and Blackman showed their tag team efficacy, with Blackman flattening Candido with the running bicycle kick for the win. Sgt. Slaughter vs. Genichiro Tenryu Well, it didn’t take long for Slaughter to find a new rival. Slaughter and Tenryu had a ferocious battle that ended when Slaughter hit a Slaughter Cannon that sent them both flying out of the ring. They continued to brawl outside the ring until the ref counted them both out. Pacific Tag Team Title Match : The Miracle Violence Combination © vs. The Sons Of The Beach (Cannonball Grizz & The Sandman) The Surfing Superstars have risen rapidly in the Pacific Tag Team ranks, and quickly earned a shot at the champs. They certainly gave it their all, keeping the MVC off balance for a fair stretch of the match, but the sheer power of the Champions proved too much to overcome. Steve Williams pinned Grizz following an incredible Oklahoma Stampede. A disappointing result, but the SoBs certainly acquitted themselves well in their first shot at the big belts. Pacific Television Title Match : Big Bully Busick © vs. Fit Finlay As could be imagined , this was a hard hitting match, with Busick ultimately putting the Belfast Bruiser down with the Bully Breaker (Hangman neckbreaker). Pacific Heavyweight Title Match : Ted Dibiase © vs. Barry Windham Windham put in an incredible effort to regain the title he had held twice before. It looked like he might just pull it off when he clipped Dibiase with a lariat that knocked him out of the ring. While the ref made the count, Chris Adams snuck into the ring and blindsided Windham with a Superkick . When Dibiase made it back into ring , he found Windham laid out, and smugly got the cover. Once again, Dibiase sneaks away with his title intact.

Pacific Wrestling Showcase from the Portland Sports Arena, Portland , on ESPN / TSN, August 8th Stormfront (Al Snow & Jerry Lynn) vs. Jimmy Del Ray & Billy Black After some time in the middle of the pack in the PCW Tag Team decision, Stormfront have been putting in some impressive efforts to show they were a storm to be reckoned with. Despite Jim Cornette’s men’s attempts to take the low road, Stormfront prevailed with Lynn taking Del Ray down with a package piledriver. The competing tag teams had best not overlook the Citadel duo. Sgt. Slaughter vs. Mark Caruso The American Hero got a huge response from the Portland fans, as well he should. The double tough Marine DI is a legend in the ring, and he proceeded to run roughshod over Caruso. It didn’t take long for Slaughter to dispatch Caruso, forcing him to tap out to the Slaughter Cannon. The fans can’t wait to see who would be the next rival for Slaughter to go to war with. Roddy Piper & Pierre Carl Ouellet vs. Buddy Rose & Scotty The Body Both Piper and PCO have been having their own war with the Playboy Club. The two sides had a fierce battle, but it was only a matter of time before Brian Lee stuck his nose in. The Bulldozer yanked Piper off the ring apron, and while the two slugged it out at ringside, the rest of the Playboy Club double teamed Ouellet until Scotty took him out with the Body Shot (DDT) . The Club continued to use their numbers after the match to beat down Piper and Ouellet until Bret Hart came out swinging a metal chair to run them off. Bret Hart vs. The Lightning Kid Bret didn’t have much time to catch his breath, as he would be in the very next match, facing a young up and comer. The Lightning Kid may be young, but he certainly proved to be quite a handful for the Hitman. Bret had to work hard to overcome the Kid’s speed and high flying moves, but was ultimately able to put a stop to him with the Sharpshooter. After the match, Hart offered a handshake of respect, which the Kid begrudgingly accepted. Chris Jericho vs. Chris Adams Adams has been gunning hard for Barry Windham, but would have to settle for his Brigade comrade Chris Jericho. Jericho put in an enthusiastic effort to which Adams responded with sheer brutality. Adams seemed to particularly relish nailing Jericho with a Superkick to the head. Adams has certainly made his mark in reestablishing the group he renamed the League Of Gentlemen.

Sayama vs. Fujinami and Maeda vs. Takada are top flight matches for sure, but I am most keen to see how Karelin vs. Backlund shakes down.

Pacific Coast Wrestling show from the Kelowna Memorial Arena, Kelowna, August 3rd The Force Of July (The Patriot & The Eagle) vs. Coast 2 Coast (John Tatum & Jack Victory) The patriotic duo came out on top over the former champs, with the Patriot hitting the Uncle Slam on Tatum. David Cash vs. Toshiaki Kawada Kawada continued his rampage, taking out Cash with a sheer fall brainbuster. Dan Severn vs. Jimmy Del Ray The Beast showed his considerable technical expertise as he defeated the Gigolo with a backdrop suplex. Jason Jett vs. Sabu Young Jett put in a feisty effort against Sabu, but the Bombay Madman was too much to overcome, hitting a slingshot legdrop for the win. Jushin Liger vs. The Lightning Kid Liger came back hard after Deseret Storm, taking down the Kid with a running palm thrust to the jaw. California Title Match : Dennis Condrey © vs. Shinya Hashimoto Condrey faced his toughest challenger yet in the person of the former TV champ. Hashimoto really took it to the champ, and Condrey had to dig into his resourcefulness to go to a 20 minute time limit draw. The Loverboy may still be the champ, but he just barely survived this match.

Pacific Coast Wrestling show from the Pacific Coliseum, Vancouver on Pacific Super Cards on ESPN / TSN , August 2nd The Sons Of The Beach (The Sandman & Cannonball Grizz) vs. Big Vito Lograsso & Billy Black The SoBs are coming off a great showing at Deseret Storm and rode that wave right into this match, topping the Hollywood Heartbreakers duo when Sandman hit a swinging neckbreaker on Black. The Thrillseekers vs. The Midnight Express Jericho and Storm were carrying some of the damage at the hands of the League Of Gentlemen into this match. You never want to give the Midnight Express any kind of advantage, and Cornette's men capitalized with the Veg-O-Matic on Jericho. Pierre Carl Ouellet vs. Scotty The Body These two continued their feud with PCO coming out on top with the Cannonball, to the great pleasure of the Canadian fans. Roddy Piper & Bam Bam Bigelow vs. Mike Awesome & Brian Lee The monsters of the League Of Gentlemen and the Playboy Club joined up to take on two big fan favorites, and the result was chaos, with the ref ultimately declaring a No Contest while all four men brawled in the ring. Pacific Television Title Match : Big Bully Busick © vs. Rob Zakowski Zakowski, the young firebrand of the Hexagon, impressed many in this match with his big moves and intensity, but Busick stayed the course and put an end to his challenge with the Spinebuster Slam. Rick Martel & Bret Hart vs. Ted Dibiase & Buddy Rose The evening closed out with the leaders of two of the main factions in PCW facing off against two Canadian favorites. The huge egos of Dibiase and Rose worked surprisingly well together, doing and incredible job of holding the line against the Canadian duo. In the end, Martel and Hart proved to be the superior team, with Martel dropkicking Dibiase into a Crucifix by Hart, giving the Hitman a win over the Pacific Champ.

Pacific Wrestling Showcase from the Victoria Memorial Arena, Victoria, on ESPN / TSN, August 1st Chris Hamrick vs. Tyrone Davis Chris Hamrick is less than a year into his career, but has developed something of a cult following among the fans. The scrappy Southerner has always given his best and even pulled out some underdog wins, and showed his colourful personality and fun moves in this showcase against Davis. Hamrick put Davis away with the Franken-Hamrick, to the great cheers of the fans. He may be young, but Confederate Currency definitely has a place in the hearts of the PCW fandom. Tommy Dreamer vs. Toshiaki Kawada Toshiaki Kawada has always been a tough competitor, but lately he has gotten sadistic to the point of scary. Tommy Dreamer was the latest to get in the path of the Japanese Nightmare. The former Golden State tag champ put up a struggle but was chewed up by the sheer viciousness of Kawada's offense. He could not escape the Kawada Crab, and Kawada was once again triumphant. The latest member of the League Of Gentlemen is certainly proving to be the man to beat. Shane Douglas vs. Jimmy Del Ray Although he ended up going down to the Midnight Express at Deseret Storm, Shane Douglas pulled off something of a coup in the same match by pinning California champ Dennis Condrey. Jim Cornette is clearly determined to nip this challenge in the bud, sending out Gigolo Jimmy to sanction the up and comer. Del Ray fought a dirty game, but Douglas was able to fight his way through it, pinning him after the Belly To Belly Suplex. Sooner of later, Condrey will have to face off with Douglas. Golden State Tag Team Title Match : The Oregon Wrecking Crew (Gary Albright & David Young) © vs. Stormfront (Al Snow & Jerry Lynn) Speaking of up and comers, the OWC are a fairly young team, but have clearly proved themselves worthy of their spot in the Terror Collective by fiercely defending the Golden State Tag Titles against all comers. That said, Stormfront are former champs themselves and were out to show that they were not a team to overlook. They put a real scare into the champs, and while Albright was able to put down Snow with a German Suplex, they got a real scare from the Citadel duo. Yes, the OWC have proved themselves, but they are going to need to keep on proving themselves to maintain their grip on the titles. Barry Windham & The Thrillseekers vs. Chris Adams & Harlem Heat At Deseret Storm, Barry Windham went down to the Superkick of Chris Adams. The big Texan was not going to let that go unanswered, and brought in his Brigade partners to take another shot at Adams and the League Of Gentlemen. Adams and Heat landed some hard shots against Jericho and Storm, but the Canadians kept bouncing back, and when they got their leader in, Windham started collecting some dues. The two time former Pacific champ landed some heavy blows, and was able to dodge the Superkick before leveling Stevie Ray with a Western Lariat for the victory. A big win, but you just know that Windham is going to want to get his hands on Adams again.

Pacific Coast Wrestling Deseret Storm from the Salt Palace, Salt Lake City Squadron Battle : The Sons Of The Beach (Cannonball Grizz & The Sandman) , Roddy Piper, Bret Hart & Pierre Carl Ouellet vs. Buddy Rose, Brian Lee, Scotty The Body & The Suicide Blondes (Chris Candido & Louie Spicolli) The Playboy Club have never had a shortage of enemies, and Deseret Storm got off to a roaring start with an assortment of their most high profile foes lining up to take a shot at them. The SoBs and the Blondes were quick to go after each other, and they tore into each other for much of the match. Sandman was able to eliminate Candido with a swinging neckbreaker, and a running cross body from Grizz was too much for Spicolli to overcome. That removed the Suicide Blondes from the equation. PCO was determined to go after Scotty The Body, but Scotty kept tagging in Brian Lee to do his dirty work. Ouellet was still game and fought hard with the Bulldozer, but when attempting a package piledriver on the big man, Scotty snuck in the ring and laid him low with a low blow from behind. Lee then hit the Prime Time Slam to eliminate the Fighting French Canadian. The Body and the Playboy to let Lee do much of the heavy lifting, particularly as he wore down Bret Hart, but Scotty tagged in to get the elimination himself. Bret was playing possum , and countered an attempted Body Shot (DDT) with a small package that got the one two three. Lee kept battling, but the odds were against him. Hart dropkicked him into a belly to back suplex by Piper, and it was all down to Buddy Rose. The Playboy looked across the ring and saw 4 men against his one and decided it wasn't worth it, running back to the locker room with Tina Ferrari and taking the countout loss. Survivors : The Sons Of The Beach (Cannonball Grizz & The Sandman), Roddy Piper & Bret Hart Squadron Battle : Steven Regal, Sgt. Slaughter & The Thrillseekers vs. Coast 2 Coast (John Tatum & Jack Victory), Makhan Singh & Fit Finlay A bit of a feud has sprung up between the Thrillseekers and Coast 2 Coast, and that formed the backbone of this matchup. The first throwdown was between Sarge and Finlay, with two of the toughest men in PCW throwing big haymakers at each other. Finlay was pounding on Slaughter in the corner, but the double tough DI came roaring out of the blocks with the Slaughter Cannon, then followed up with a second rope kneedrop for the pinfall. Much of the next section was a tag duel between the Thrillseekers and Coast 2 Coast, but Tatum and Victory got Singh to tip the balance, with an attempted cross body by Storm ending up in a Monster Mash (front slam) by Singh to eliminate the young Canadian. Jericho did his bet, but kept being double teamed by Tatum and Victory, and a California Kick put Jericho down for the count. Coast 2 Coast were now up in numbers but not for long . The Monster couldn't stay away from Regal and kept going after him. Regal fired back with a series of vicious forearm smashes, knocking Singh out of the ring. When Singh tried to crawl back in, Regal nailed him with a Knee Trembler to the side of the head to knock him back out, and the Monster was unable to make the count. It was now a battle of the experience of Slaughter and the technical skill of Regal against the tag team coordination of Tatum and Victory. They battled it out for quite some time until Slaughter trapped Victory in the Cobra Clutch , forcing him to tap out. Regal was then able to pin Tatum with the Regal Plex , and he and Slaughter stood tall in victory. Survivors : Steven Regal & Sgt. Slaughter Squadron Battle : Jushin Liger, Dragon Azul, Stormwatch (Al Snow & Jerry Lynn) , Too Cold Scorpio & Big Bully Busick vs. Art Barr, Eddie Guerrero, Dean Malenko, Rob Zakowski, The Lightning Kid & Sabu The next match had members of Citadel joining forces with Too Cold Scorpio and the Thunder Dragons to face the Hexagon. The Sinister Minister's men have had their ups and downs but are always a threat, and drew first blood when a slingshot Legdrop from Sabu eliminated Jerry Lynn. Al Snow avenged his partner with a Snow Bomb on Lightning Kid, and the Citadel's side got one up in the numbers when Busick put down Sabu with his always devastating Spinebuster Slam. The advantage did not last long and ended in shocking fashion. After a bruising exchange of shots, Busick attempted a standing armbar on Malenko, only for Dean to counter it with a backslide. He held the TV champs shoulders to the mat for a three count to send him out of the match. The Hexagon went back into the lead by way of a Frog Splash by Barr on Scorpio, but not long after that, Liger caught the Light Heavyweight Champ with a running palm thrust to the jaw, ending the night for Barr. Snow was the next one out, by way of a Split Legged Moonsault by Zakowski, and a Tornado DDT from Guerrero took out Dragon Azul. It was now Jushin Liger against three men. The masked man held out for as long as possible, but a Brainbuster from Malenko finally put him down, leaving the Hexagon standing triumphant. Survivors : Dean Malenko, Eddie Guerrero & Rob Zakowski Squadron Battle : Bam Bam Bigelow, Barry Windham, Shinya Hashimoto & The Dreamboats (Tommy Dreamer & Glamour Boy Shane) vs. Chris Adams, Toshiaki Kawada, Mike Awesome & Harlem Heat Another faction that has been coming on strong lately would be Chris Adams' League Of Gentlemen. Rising from the ashes of the Diamond Exchange, the League have been getting impressive victories over top talent, and would be facing a team of several former champions. The League were the first on the board with Harlem Heat eliminating Shane with the Harlem Hangover . Windham balanced the books by beating Stevie Ray with the Western Lariat, and Bam Bam removed Harlem Heat from the equation with a Slingshot Splash on Booker T. Awesome then made his impact, pinning Dreamer with the Awesome Bomb. A Superkick from Adams eliminated Hashimoto. It was three on two, but Bigelow and Windham proved to be a tough nut to crack, with the pair tagging in and out and knocking the League about the ring. It was then that Awesome made the sacrifice play. He torpedoed Bigelow with a crushing spear, sending them both out of the ring. He kept slugging it out with Bam Bam, not even bothering to try to get back in the ring, and both men were counted out. Adams and Kawada ganged up on Windham, lacing into him with vicious kicks, but the 2 time former Pacific Champ rallied. He nearly nailed Adams with a lariat, but Adams ducked at the last seconds, and when he came back of the ropes, Kawada ambushed him with a spin kick to the back of the head. Windham staggered right into a Superkick from Adams that struck him flush on the jaw, and that was that. Survivors : Chris Adams & Toshiaki Kawada Squadron Battle : Shane Douglas, Steve Blackman, Dan Severn & The Money Train (David Cash, Jason Jett & Chris Hamrick) vs. The Midnight Express, Dennis Condrey & The Hollywood Heartbreakers (Big Vito Lograsso, Billy Black & Jimmy Del Ray) Jim Cornette came out with a bit of a bug in his bonnet, and given his crew's recent frustrations, it was certainly understandable. Camp Cornette came out hot, with Big Vito taking out Cash with the Sicilian Smash (running forearm smash to the face). Jett was the next to go, by way of a Rocket Launcher from the Midnight Express. While Cornette's men got pretty arrogant at this point, their opposition struck back when Blackman forced Black to tap out by way of the Cross Armbreaker. Vito was very keen to avenge his loss last week and relentlessly went after Chris Hamrick, but his aggression caught up with him when the Redneck Casanova caught him coming off the ropes with a Franken-Hamrick to send him out of the mat. Hamrick didn't have long to celebrate his win, as Condrey immediately nailed him with the Inverted DDT for the next elimination. Severn evened things up with a bridging back suplex on Del Ray, but no sooner had the ref's hand come down for the count of three than Eaton came off the top with the Alabama Jam and took out the Beast. A double goozle from the Midnights on Blackman made it three to One. The Midnights were relentless in tormenting Douglas, but he fought back hard. Condrey made the mistake of walking right into a belly to belly suplex, and Douglas had taken out the California Champ. Douglas put in a valiant effort, but the Midnight Express finally put an end to his heroic run with the Veg-O-Matic. Cornette came out on top, and was just as insufferable as you could imagine. Survivors : The Midnight Express Squadron Battle : Rick Martel, Iron & Steel (Tony Atlas & Larry Cameron), & The Force Of July (The Patriot & The Eagle) vs. Ted Dibiase, Steve Williams, Terry Gordy & The Oregon Wrecking Crew (Gary Albright & David Young) The evening closed off with the Terror Collective squaring off against a murderer's row of top contenders. The Force Of July struck first against their rivals with a flying double shoulder tackle on Young. Albright came raging back, eliminating the Eagle with a huge German Suplex. In an intense power duel, Willams Oklahoma Stampeded the Patriot out of the match. Iron & Steel showed their effectiveness with Cameron sending out Albright by way of the the Harlem Hammer (running double axe handle to the back of the head) . Things got down to the Nitty Gritty with the 6 remaining men battling it out with no eliminations for a long while. Just like that, it went down to one on one as the MVC and Iron & Steel got into an out of control brawl until the ref finally had no choice but to Disqualify both teams. It was now Dibiase vs. Martel, the Pacific champ against the top contender. It was a long technical duel between the two, which Dibiase tried to subvert with his dreaded black glove, only for Martel to kick it out of his hand. Martel went up top and feinted at a Diving Cross Body Press, but when Dibiase ducked, Martel shifted into a top rope Sunset Flip. One … two … THREE !!!!! Martel had beaten the Pacific Heavyweight Champion! Dibiase will have no choice but to give him a rematch now! Survivor : Rick Martel

Thanks. I made an edit that left a fragment, have cleaned that up.

Pacific Coast Wrestling show from the Selland Arena, Fresno, July 20th The Thrillseekers vs. Coast 2 Coast (John Tatum & Jack Victory) Last week, Tatum and Victory got a win over the Thrillseekers, but clearly wanted to get some more shots in on the younger team. Their overconfidence would cost them, as a running cross body from Jericho assisted by a schoolboy trip from Storm gave the exciting young duo the pinfall over Victory. Chris Hamrick vs. Big Vito Lograsso Hamrick's run of strong showings continued in his match with the Italian Stallion, knocking Vito down with an arched big boot before defeating him with the Confederate Crunch. The Force Of July (The Eagle & The Patriot) vs. The Midnight Express Jim Cornette's woes continued as, despite an intense effort from the Midnights , the Patriotic Pair took down Sweet Stan with a double flying clothesline and emerged triumphant. Dan Severn vs. Gary Albright Severn had faced Albright in a feud some years ago and came out on top. The Beast seemed caught off guard by Albright's progress since then , and the Animal's confidence from being Golden State Tag champ and a member of the Terror Collective clearly bolstered his aggression. Severn was just barely able to hold off Albright for a 20 minute time limit draw. The Thunder Dragons (Jushin Liger & Dragon Azul) vs. Art Barr & Eddie Guerrero The feud between these two duos has led to some spectacular matches, and this one was no different. It ended with Dragon pinning Barr after a flying victory roll, a major victory over the Light Heavyweight champ. California Title Match : Dennis Condrey © vs. Al Snow Cornette was determined to get his men at least one victory, and he tripped Snow attempting a springboard clothesline. This set him up for a Full Nelson Facebuster which put an end to his challenge. Snow had been doing quite well up to that point, and certainly deserves another chance at Loverboy Dennis' belt.

Pacific Coast Wrestling show from the Cow Palace , San Francisco, on Pacific Super Cards on ESPN / TSN, July 19th Bam Bam Bigelow vs. Mike Awesome The latest battle in the war between these two behemoths was evenly match for the most part, until Bam Bam exploded in a flurry of headbutts that staggered awesome. He then came off the top with a flying headbutt that gave the match to the Beast From The East. David Cash & Jason Jett vs. Chris Adams & Toshiaki Kawada Adams has become perfectly in synch with his newest League Of Gentlemen colleague, as they showed with the merciless drubbing they gave the Money Train rookies. They polished off Cash with a double superkick, and seemed especially arrogant about it afterwards. Bret Hart, Pierre Carl Ouellet & Sgt. Slaughter vs. Buddy Rose, Scotty The Body & Brian Lee A feud has sprung up between PCO and Scotty, and even though the Fighting French Canadian was fighting off Brian Lee, it was a sneak attack from Scotty that set him up for the Prime Time Slam. A dirty win for the Playboy Club, and you know PCO is not going to stand for it. Pacific Tag Team Title Match : The Miracle Violence Connection © vs. The Dreamboats (Tommy Dreamer & Glamour Boy Shane) The former Golden State champs put in an heroic effort, but the MVC were too much to handle, with Gordy putting down dreamer with a big Power Bomb. Pacific Television Title Match : Big Bully Busick © vs. Dean Malenko Malenko gave Busick his toughest challenge yet, staying out of the way of his power offense and coming close to locking in his trademark submission holds. The Man From Powerhouse Hill was able to catch the second generation star with his devastating Spinebuster Slam to come out with his title, but it was a very close escape. Pacific Heavyweight Title Match : Ted Dibiase © vs. Roddy Piper Dibiase is normally all poise and confidence, but the unconventional style of Piper flustered the Man Of Means to no end. Hot Rod's taunting and confusing stood him well, and he was very close to locking in the Sleeper Hold. Unfortunately that was when Brian Lee decided to intervene, attacking Piper for the DQ. Dibiase figured good enough, and bailed from the ring while the two slugged it out. A pity, as the match was a hot one before the Bulldozer stuck his nose in Rowdy Roddy's business.

Pacific Wrestling Showcase from the Oakland Alameda County Arena, Oakland, on ESPN / TSN, July 18th Harlem Heat vs. Jimmy Johnson & Jimmy Tarrantino Last week, the three singles wrestlers of the League Of Gentlemen made a pretty definitive demonstration of their considerable firepower. This week , it would be the League's tag team to show what they were capable of. Booker T and Stevie Ray rampaged over Johnson and Tarrantino in definitive style with power moves and clubbing blows. The two rookies didn't stand a chance, and the Heat put down Tarrantino with the Harlem Hangover. The League Of Gentlemen and becoming a truly scary unit. The Sons Of The Beach (Cannonball Grizz & The Sandman) vs. Jimmy Del Ray & Billy Black Last week, the SoBs had a bit of a setback with a loss over their hated rivals, the Suicide Blondes. They came roaring back with a vengeance this week against the Hollywood Heartbreakers. Jim Cornette and his men certainly pulled out their fair share of dirty tricks, but the Surfing Superstars prevailed, with Sandman taking out Del Ray with a Piledriver. You just can't keep the Sons from catching that wave. Shane Douglas vs. Bobby Eaton Another of Cornette's men would be in action against young Shane Douglas. Douglas has been a regular and enthusiastic presence in the PCW roster for some time now, but seems determined to break through to the next level. The considerable skill of Eaton was a lot to overcome, but Douglas was patient and caught him in the Belly To Belly Suplex for the win. Shane Douglas is definitely a star on the rise. Jerry Lynn vs. The Lightning Kid The Hexagon and the Citadel have been swapping wins back and forth all year, showing just how determined both side is to prove themselves. Lynn is coming off a big win last week over Rob Zakowski, and now would be facing Zakowski's partner, the Lightning Kid. This led to an incredibly fast paced match, and Lynn came close to getting another win, but a reverse diving cross body block by the Kid would score the pinfall. You can bet that the war between the two sides is going to get even hotter from here. Steven Regal vs. Makhan Singh Ever since his return to PCW, the Monster has kept his focus locked in on Regal, but the English Lion has refused to crumble. Despite the considerable size and power of Singh, Regal kept chipping away and him, wearing him down little by little. Regal was able to clothesline Singh over the top rope. He then hit a running diving kneedrop off the ring apron on Singh, and was able to beat the count back in to score a countout. Not the definitive win that Regal wanted, perhaps, but it was no mean feat to get one up on the big man.

Pacific Coast Wrestling show from McArthur Court, Eugene, July 13th Stormfront (Al Snow & Jeryr Lynn) vs. Sabu & Rob Zakowski Another furious battle between these two sides, with Snow hitting a spectacular Snow-Sault on Sabu for the hard fought win. The Thunder Dragons (Jushin Liger & Dragon Azul) vs. Art Barr & Eddie Guerrero The Hexagon came back with a victory after Barr pinned Dragon following a Tombstone Piledriver. Dan Severn vs. Big Vito Lograsso The enforcer for Camp Cornette gave Severn a considerable amount of bruises, but the Beast came roaring back, taking the wind out of the Italian Stallion's sails with a takeover suplex before forcing him to tap out to the Body Scissors Sleeper. Golden State Tag Team Title Match : The Oregon Wrecking Crew (Gary Albright & David Young) © vs. The Dreamboats (Tommy Dreamer & Glamour Boy Shane) The OWC successfully defended their titles against the former champs, with David Young pinning Dreamer following his feared Spinebuster Slam. Shinya Hashimoto vs. Scotty The Body Hashimoto took out his old rival with a Brainbuster. California Title Match : Dennis Condrey © vs. Chris Hamrick Confederate Currency's hard work paid off with a shot at the California title. Hamrick certainly showed what he had, putting a scare in Condrey at several points. Ultimately, the experience of the champ spelled the difference as he put a stop to Hamrick's challenge with an Inverted DDT. A disappointing result for the challenger, but Hamrick should be proud of his effort in his first major turn in the singles spotlight.

Pacific Coast Wrestling show from the Portland Memorial Coliseum , Portland , on Pacific Super Cards on ESPN / TSN, July 12th Pacific Submission Title Match : Steve Blackman © vs. Dean Malenko Blackman has been focusing lately on tag team action, but he is still the Submission champ and he is still the standard to which other submission wrestlers must aspire. The evening opened with an intense defense against former champ Malenko. The two put on a technical showcase where Blackman ultimately took Malenko down and got him in a Wakigatame Armbar to maintain his grip on the title belt. Larry Cameron vs. Steve Williams Members of the Miracle Violence Combination and Iron & Steel faced off in singles action in a bruising power duel that went to Dr. Death with a brutal Backdrop Driver on Cameron. Pacific Television Title Match : Big Bully Busick © vs. Jimmy Del Ray The Man From Powerhouse Hill continued his acclaimed and popular title reign, forcing the Gigolo to give up to the Bully Bender. Tony Atlas vs. Terry Gordy Atlas avenged his partner's earlier loss, fighting his way out of an attempted Asiatic Spike and taking down Gordy with a huge piledriver to even the score with the MVC. Bret Hart & Roddy Piper vs. Buddy Rose & Brian Lee As crazy a match as you can imagine, culminating in Bret dropkicking Lee into a belly to back suplex by Piper to get the win over the Playboy Club. Pacific Heavyweight Title Match : Ted Dibiase © vs. Barry Windham It looked like Dibiase was caught off guard by the intensity of Windham's challenge, as he was backpedaling for much of the match. Not matter what roadblocks the champ threw in front of him, the big Texan would power right through them. Dibiase wound up resorting to pulling the ref into the path of a Western Lariat. Windham followed up with a waistlock suplex, but the ref didn't make the count when he recovered, instead disqualifying Dibiase. That will likely cost Dibiase some money, but the Man Of Means hardly cares about so long as he keeps his title.

Pacific Wrestling Showcase from the Portland Sports Arena, Portland , on ESPN / TSN, July 11th Chris Adams, Mike Awesome & Toshiaki Kawada vs. Ben Browning, Russell Swann & Shannon Elkins From the ashes of the Diamond Exchange has risen the League Of Gentlemen. Along with Harlem Heat, Adams has helped shape Awesome and Dangerous K into serious contenders, and this match showed why. They really went to town on their young opponents, with Adams and Kawada battering Browning bloody with brutal kicks, before Awesome put the final stamp on it by crushing Elkins with an Awesome Bomb. With the various factions fighting for dominance in PCW, the League are coming out of nowhere to become a dangerous new element. The Thrillseekers vs. Coast 2 Coast (John Tatum & Jack Victory) If one thing can be said about Coast 2 Coast, it is that they have a distinct distaste for pretty young tag teams. Their previous feud with the Dreamboats was steeped in hatred, and in this match, they clearly didn't like the Thrillseekers any more. For their part, Jericho and Storm were not intimidated, and fired back at Tatum and Victory with equal intensity. The battle raged back and forth, and it just barely went to the former champs when Jericho attempted a springboard clothesline on Tatum, only to be met with a California Kick. Victory held off Storm just long enough to get the three count, but you can bet that Coast 2 Coast are not done with the Thrillseekers just yet. Chris Hamrick vs. Billy Black Little by little, Chris Hamrick has been rising above the crop of promising young rookies and proving himself to be an exciting new talent. "Confederate Currency" went toe to toe with the "Redneck Casanova", and in spite of several attempts at interference by Jim Cornette, Hamrick caught Black coming off the ropes with the Franken-Hamrick and got the one two three. Hamrick looks to have a bright future ahead of him on the West Coast. Shane Douglas vs. David Young Two more young contenders are Shane Douglas and David Young, with Douglas being a rallying point of the Citadel and Young being one half of the Golden State Tag Team champs. They certainly proved their mettle tonight in a tightly contested bout that ended when Young attempted his deadly Spinebuster Slam, only to have it blocked by a boot to the face. Douglas followed up with the Belly To Belly Suplex and that was that. With these young contenders coming into their own, it looks like the future of PCW is in good hands. The Sons Of The Beach (The Sandman & Cannonball Grizz) vs. The Suicide Blondes The evening closed out with another chapter in the heated rivalry between the SoBs and the Blondes. Much of their matches have fallen into the hands of the Surfing Superstars, but the Blondes were dead set on getting back on the board. It was a chaotic match, as one would imagine, but the Sandman was set to put it away with a top rope legdrop on Spicolli . Tina Ferrari swiftly jumped on the ring apron and shoved Sandman off the top turnbuckle, sending him crashing to the mat. Peaches tackled Tina, but the damage had been done, and Candido nailed a running legdrop on Sandman to score the pinfall. The Blondes had stolen the win, but that isn't going to hold back the SoBs for long.

Wow, Christopher sure is earning his keep with the pounding he just took. Huge win for the Bossman and the mystery of Lawler's enemy deepens.

Pacific Coast Wrestling show from the Kelowna Memorial Arena, Kelowna, July 6th Chris Hamrick vs. Stan Lane "Confederate Currency" scored a huge upset over "Sweet Stan", taking him down with an arched big boot and defeating him with the Dixie Drop. The Thrillseekers vs. Harlem Heat The beloved rookies played cat and mouse with the much bigger team and kept one step ahead of them for much of the match until Booker T caught Storm with the Bookend, giving the win to Harlem Heat . Jason Jett & David Cash vs. The Midnight Express Interestingly, this would be the Eaton and Condrey configuration of the MX, and they showed they had not lost a step, putting down a game Money Train duo, with Condrey taking down Jett with a lariat followed by Eaton's Alabama Jam. Jushin Liger vs. Edddie Guerrero A thrilling light heavyweight bout that went to Liger with a shooting star press. Pierre Carl Ouellet vs. Scotty The Body Scotty was out for revenge from the earlier pinfall loss to the Fighting French Canadian , but PCO blocked the Body Shot (DDT) and countered with a choke slam for the win. Pacific Light Heavyweight Title Match : Art Barr © vs. Dragon Azul These two had another classic as Dragon fought hard to regain the title, with Barr hitting a spectacular dropkick and then landing the Frog Splash to successfully defend his title.
