Control21 Posted October 31, 2023 Report Share Posted October 31, 2023 Billy Jack continues his hot streak in the run-up to his encounter with Barry Windham, and he's firing on all cylinders as he gets an impressive win over Curt Hennig. Dustin Rhodes vs Art Barr sounded like a fun match that I would probably wouldn't mind seeing in real life. Same goes for Cheetah Kid vs Chris Candido. Bob Backlund can't catch a break! Hope people living in Connecticut are taking proper precautions.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spaldoni Posted November 4, 2023 Report Share Posted November 4, 2023 Props to Spicoli for holding his own against my man St. Clair. With fresh faces, the LHW division has been elevated to an even higher level, if that's possible. Animal will be a force to reckon with in PCW. Tina isn't playing around as she gets the Playboy Club focused in a hurry. LOL, I loved this segment. Harts come up short again, thanks to the numbers game. They might need some back up. WOW, after that, Windham's got to be a little concerned. Haynes was ruthless. Portland, Can Ams and Malenkos have been tearing it up on the loops. Adams has quietly been racking up some big wins. Eddie might have his eye on a LHW title shot. Yep, Rose is focused. Dustin is finding his groove as CA champ. In a bit of a surprise, Windham panics a bit and resorts to low tactics. Haynes is definitely on his mind. Eugene, See, Regal doesn't need brass knuckles. Lee gets the biggest win of his PCW over the former dual champ. Impressive finish by Bam Bam Steamboat edges out Finlay in an excellent match up. As always, the LHW's deliver. If anybody can follow a LHW match in PCW, it's Pillman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevinmcfl Posted November 5, 2023 Report Share Posted November 5, 2023 Wow... Billy Jack is on fire and even Hennig gets to do the job to hype up the match with Windham. Really enjoy when you do the promos. They are so well done. Ferrari putting all of the Playboy Club in their place was cool.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rainmakerrtv Posted November 6, 2023 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2023 Pacific Wrestling Showcase from the Oakland Alameda County Arena, Oakland, on ESPN / TSN, November 10th  Jerry Lynn vs. Matt Quinlan  A couple of weeks ago, Jerry Lynn was badly beaten in a show of force by Buddy Rose and the Playboy Club. After taking some time off to recover, Lynn is back and set on proving that he is still ready to go on the West Coast. He made a strong go of it in this match , dominating Quinlan with high flying moves before putting him away with a Cradle Piledriver. No matter what, you can't keep the new generation down.  Brian Adams vs. Louie Spicolli  Another younger wrestler on the comeback trail is Louie Spicolli. Spicolli has earned the respect and his opponents but had a tough time picking up wins. Still, he has acquitted himself well in his matches, and stood toe to toe with the resurgent Brian Adams. "Crusher" Adams was still able to take him down with a running shoulder tackle to get the one two three, but helped Spicolli up after the match and gave him a pat on the back as a show of support.  Silver King vs. Chris Candido  The arrival of Sliver King to PCW, along with his rival Dragon Azul, has lit a fire under the already highly competitive ranks of the Light Heavyweight Division. The Mexican star has shown an ambitious streak and sought out the best opponents to prove himself as a competitor to the Cheetah Kid's crown. One couldn't have picked out a higher profile opponent than Chris Candido, the former Light Heavyweight champ. The two had a fierce battle where Silver King had to fight hard to pull out a win with a Samoan Drop. The Light Heavyweight division is rapidly becoming the shining jewel in the crown of Pacific Coast Wrestling.  Vic Steamboat & The Midnight Express vs. Buddy Rose & The Sin City Superstars (Scotty The Body & Mark Starr)  Last week, the Playboy Club seemingly ironed out their differences, and along with Tina Ferrari, they presented a united front as they came out to the ring. That was certainly not the case with Camp Cornette, as Vic Steamboat came out alone, with the Midnight Express and Jim Cornette coming out only after a conspicuous pause. They didn't show much interest in participating in the match at all, looking bored while the Playboy Club relentlessly triple teamed the Demon. When Steamboat was able to dive into the corner for a tag, Eaton and Lane immediately jumped to the floor and, with Cornette giving a wave to bring them all back to the locker room. You don't give an opening like that to the Playboy Club, who savaged Steamboat like a lion on a lamb. Starr pinned Steamboat following the Starrburst Suplex (Slingshot Suplex), but that wasn't enough for Rose's men. The Club were out to make an example of him, and continued pummeling Steamboat until Brian Adams came out with a chair and Rose and the Superstars made for a strategic retreat. The Playboy Club hay have made a statement, but they have also made an enemy of Steamboat's friend "The Crusher".  Bret Hart vs. Fit Finlay  Bret will be facing Bam Bam Bigelow in a return match at San Diego Battleground, and after losing to him at Phoenix Firestorm, is hell bent on avenging that loss. He wasn't taking an easy road back to the Beast From The East, with the Belfast Bruiser giving a ferocious battle to the Hitman. Both men were battered and bruised but it took a huge Bulldog from the second rope for Hart to put the fighting Irishman down for good. He was able to survive this war but will he be able to get his win back from Bigelow? We will find out in one week's time!  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rainmakerrtv Posted November 6, 2023 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2023 Pacific Coast Wrestling show from the Cow Palace , San Francisco, on Pacific Super Cards on ESPN / TSN, November 11th  Maxx Payne vs. The Vampire Warrior  A savage battle where a bloodied Payne was able to take out his former Neighborhood Of Evil colleague with the Payne Threshold (front layout suplex)  Owen Hart vs. Phil Lafon  A fast moving technical battle that went to the younger Hart brother with a moonsault.  Scott Hall & Brian Lee vs. The Undertaker & Curt Hennig  The war between the Brigade and the Neighborhood Of Evil continued and, while Hall and the Undertaker slugged it out on the outside, Hennig lured Lee into the Perfect-Plex to score the win.  Dragon Azul vs. Silver King  Another light heavyweight classic from these two young stars where Silver King got his second victory in two days by taking down Dragon with the Silver Kick.  Billy Jack Haynes & The Southern Boys vs. Gary Albright, Joe Malenko & Dean Malenko  Just a week out from challenging for the Pacific Heavyweight Title , Haynes wound up once again butting heads with Gary Albright. Billy Jack and the Animal fought each other to a standstill, and while Haynes wound up forcing Joe to submit to the Full Nelson, he and Albright were giving each other very direct looks after the match  Pacific Heavyweight Title Match : Barry Windham © vs. Leo Burke  In his last defense before San Diego Battleground, Windham faced a considerable challenge from the Canadian legend. Windham fought out of several attempts to trap him in the Sleeper hold and was able to put him up for the Superplex to maintain his grip on the title.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rainmakerrtv Posted November 6, 2023 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2023 Pacific Coast Wrestling show from the Selland Arena, Fresno,  November 12th  Art Barr vs. Robbie Brookside  Barr's odd Beetlejuice character seemed to rile up Brookside, but it was his considerable skill that proved the difference, hitting a Frog Splash on the Englishman for the win  Black Tiger vs. Steven Regal  Regal was able to force the former Light Heavyweight champ to tap out to the Regal Stretch  Eddie Guerrero vs. Chris Adams  Guerrero proved to be quite a handful for Adams to contend with, but Adams' Superkick proved to be the difference maker and get the win for the Diamond Exchange member  Jim Neidhart vs. Bob Backlund  The Anvil seemed especially keyed up in this match with his former leader from the Knights Templar, and was able to pull out a big win with a running powerslam. After the match, Neidhart got on the microphone and announce that this would be his last match for PCW in Fresno, as he would be leaving the territory at the end of the year. He said to the fans that it was an honor to fight for them in his home town , and that he would never forget them.  Stormfront (Al Snow & Alex Porteau) vs. The Destruction Crew  Two of the fastest rising teams in PCW had a titanic battle, with the Destruction Crew finally pulling out the victory with a double clothesline on Porteau  Pacific Television Title Match : Brian Pillman © vs. Tony St. Clair  Flyin' Brian continued his string of impressive title defenses, surviving a ferocious challenge from "Tough" Tony to get the win with the Air Pillman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spaldoni Posted November 11, 2023 Report Share Posted November 11, 2023 Lynn wants to prove he can hang in Pacific. Adams gets the win but Spicoli gets his respect. Silver King is rapidly rising the LHW rankings. Well, it was inevitable but Corny and the Midnights finally leave Vic hanging. However, looks like we're going to get a Rainbow Warriors reunion. Hart passes a tough test but Bigelow awaits. Cow Palace, Payne gets a sweet and satisfying win. Owen puts his technical skills to work. NOE have some momentum going against the Brigade. Yea, Silver King's a serious contender now. I hope Haynes stays focused on Windham and keeps away from Albright for now. Because Windham is looking 100% focused. Fresno, That crazy Barr opens things up with a win. Regal scores an impressive win over a former champ. Adams scores the victory over an always game Eddie. Oh man, sad news as Anvil announces he's leaving. I'll say this, he had the best hometown record I've ever seen. DDP has the Destruction Crew in top forum. Once again, Pillman closes the show with another successful title win, this time over a former TV champ. Pillman has become a huge star here. Bring on San Diego Battleground!!!   Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rainmakerrtv Posted November 12, 2023 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2023 Pacific Coast Wrestling San Diego Battleground Night One from the San Diego Sports Arena, San Diego  Dragon Azul vs. Robbie Brookside  It's been a great year for Pacific Coast Wrestling, and one of the highlights has been the action in the Light Heavyweight division. What better way to kick off the last Mega Show of the year than with an exciting Light Heavyweight bout between two of the top contenders in the division? Brookside got a taste of the gold with a brief championship reign earlier in the year, and you can bet that he is hungry for another shot at the title. But he would be facing one of the fastest rising contenders in the division, the sensational Japanese star named Dragon Azul. These two got the night going at a wicked pace, putting on a dazzling display of wrestling excellence that went to Dragon when he pinned the young Englishman with La Magistral. After an epic year like 1988, 1989 is looking to become legendary for the Light Heavyweight division.  Tony St. Clair vs. Gary Albright  Gary Albright made quite a splash in his brief run in PCW earlier in the year, but has been on an absolute rampage since returning. He has dominated nearly every opponent he has faced (with only Billy Jack Haynes being a notable exception) and has made a big impression on the West Coast fans. "Tough" Tony St. Clair was no pushover and certainly wasn't about to knuckle under to the big Montana native. But for all that he put up a fierce fight, the British veteran still went down to the Dragon suplex. It looks like the sky is the limit for the Animal in 1989.  Leo Burke vs. Fit Finlay  Upon his return to the West Coast, Fit Finlay immediately started bullying the younger wrestlers on the roster. Leo Burke was certainly not about to stand for that, and this has led to several inconclusive brawls between the two. They didn't wait for the bell tonight as they immediately started tearing into each other. Both men were a bloody mess as the match wore on , with neither man giving an inch to the other. Burke tried to put him away with his Sleeper Hold, but Finlay fought his way out with some brutal elbows to the face. He then dropped Burke on his head with a belly to back suplex, then put the final stamp on it with a jumping piledriver. The Fighting Irishman's campaign of terror rolls on, and the question is not when he's going to stop, but who is going to stop him.  Jerry Lynn vs. Silver King  This match featured another pair of Light Heavyweight stars looking to move up the ranks. The arrival of Silver King and Dragon Azul have kicked the action in the division into a whole new gear, and Jerry Lynn was certainly intent on making his own mark. The young high flyer gave it his all, and Silver King had to dig deep to withstand Lynn's offense. He was able to put Lynn when he caught him coming off the ropes and hit the Silver Crash (diving Samoan Drop) but Lynn had certainly proved himself in this match.  Ricky Steamboat vs. Curt Hennig  One of the biggest stories in PCW in the past few months has been the return of The Dragon himself, Ricky Steamboat. The former Pacific Heavyweight champion wasted no time in getting right into the thick of the action, and faced one of the most accomplished members of the feared Neighborhood Of Evil. These two had a spectacular match, and the fans were on the edge of their seats as to who would come out on top. It looked like it would go to Mr. Perfect as he had the Dragon set up for the Perfect Plex. But this was all a ruse by Steamboat, who was luring Hennig into an inside cradle that got the one two three. With this victory over another former Heavyweight champion, the Dragon just rocketed himself to the head of the list of top contenders.  Pacific Submission Title Match : Dan Severn © vs. Steven Regal  1988 has been a year of transformation for Steven Regal. Since cutting ties with Tony St. Clair and turning his back on the fans, the once popular Englishman has morphed from a genial tag team wrestler to a ruthless singles competitor. To give credit where it is due, his change of attitude has garnered impressive results, earning him a shot at Dan Severn's Pacific Submission Title. The Beast has been a dominant champion, but Regal would not be intimidated, hitting hard and more than holding his own when it came to dueling matwork. This one was a real nailbiter, with Severn just barely able to escape some submission holds from Regal. In the end, it was Severn's finely honed instincts that spelled the difference, as Regal's attempt at a cravate was blocked and turned into a single arm takedown by Severn. Severn then swiftly applied the Fujiwara Armbar, forcing Regal to tap out. A tough loss for Regal, but it's only a matter of time before he comes back from this.  Loser Leaves Town Match : Owen Hart vs. Chris Adams  Chris Adams has come roaring back into PCW with a vengeance, being right in the thick of the Diamond Exchange's campaign to unseat the Hart Family from what they feel is a position of privilege. The youngest member of the Hart Family has been the focus of the Englishman's ire, and the two have battled back and forth until the only thing that would satisfy them both would be this Loser Leaves Town match. With so much at stake, this match was truly ferocious, with both men kicking out from shots that would have sent other wrestlers down for the count. Adams pulled out a lot of cheap shots to try and get the advantage, but Owen was relentless. It seemed like Owen was rallying to overcome the odds, but when he was coming off the ropes, Diamond Dallas reached in and snagged his leg. It tripped Owen just for a moment, but that moment was enough for Adams to hit his dreaded Superkick. Adams got the one two three, and Owen was now gone from PCW , to the clear heartbreak of the fans.  Golden State Tag Team Title Match : The Midnight Express © vs. The Hollywood Vampires (The Vampire Warrior & Jimmie Lee)  When the Midnight Express beat the Wild Things for the Golden State Tag Titles, they had the fans solidly behind them. Since then, though, Jim Cornette's men have gone down a darker path, and the fans have been more reluctant to support them. Facing the dastardly Neighborhood Of Evil, though, the Midnights seemed to be the lesser of two evils, if only slightly, and the fans were hoping they would put the Vampire and the Grave Digger in their place. The rulebook went out the window right away, with both teams bringing out their absolutely dirtiest tactics to bear. The Vampires must have thought that the titles were theirs when Jimmie Lee brought in his shovel to use it on Stan Lane. But Bobby Eaton came off the top rope and clobbered Lee in the back of the head with the loaded tennis racquet. Lane savate kicked Vampire Warrior out of the ring, then he and Eaton executed the Rocket Launcher on Lee to successfully defend their titles.  Four Way Tag Team Elimination Match : The Footloose vs. Joe & Dean Malenko vs. Stormfront (Al Snow & Alex Porteau) vs. The Can-Am Express  One thing that PCW has been known for has been high level tag team action, and 1988 has seen several exciting tag teams emerge on the scene. This match would feature four such teams all at once and would be a showcase for how far the tag division has come. This match went a long time before the first elimination as all four teams played the proverbial game of human chess, with plentiful double teams, fast tags and near falls. Dean Malenko finally got the first fall as a Brainbuster took out Ricky Fuyuki, taking the Footloose out of the match. The Malenkos and the Can-Ams seemed to be targeting the members of Stormfront, but the resurgent team was able to weather out the storm (ironically) and eliminate Joe Malenko with a Stuff Snowbomb. It was all down to Stormfront and the Can-Ams, and after a long duel between the two teams, Furnas caught Porteau in a bearhug. This set up a flying clothesline from Lafon, and while Furnas held off Snow, Lafon got the three count to prevail in this tag team classic.  Pacific Light Heavyweight Title Match : The Cheetah Kid © vs. Brian Christopher  Back in May, Brian Christopher challenged the Cheetah Kid for his Light Heavyweight Title in May in what was a sensational match. The Kid came out on top in that match, but since then, Christopher, encouraged by his mentor Jim Cornette, as assumed a much more ruthless demeanor . This was clear in the gutter level tactics he used in this match, including unlacing the champ's mask and twisting it sideways, so that Kid was unable to see for much of the match. Even when his eyesight was restored, Christopher unleashed a barrage of cheapshots and low blows. The Cheetah Kid was not about to go down easy, but when Christopher yanked his mask off completely, he reflexively covered up his face. This left him prey for the Chris Cross, and that was it for him. Dirty pool, Christopher, even if it did get him the title.  Pacific Television Title Match : Brian Pillman © vs. Buddy Rose  Night two closed off with a match for the Pacific Television Title. Brian Pillman has been having an incredible title reign, but would be facing a Playboy with something to prove. Rose has been showing new resolve to prove himself as still the legend of the Pacific Coast, and with Pillman proving himself to be tough as a coffin nail himself, this was a ferocious battle. Both men were busted open during the match, and the mat was stained red by the war these two men waged. Rose fought hard and nearly got his dreaded Inside Out Backbreaker. But Pillman was able to flip out of it and catch Rose in a roll up, just barely keeping his shoulders to the mat for the count of three. Even then, Rose nailed him with an elbow shot to the face afterwards, and the two kept on slugging it out until security intervened. Pillman may have won this round, but I don't think he is done with Rose by a long chalk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rainmakerrtv Posted November 12, 2023 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2023 Pacific Coast Wrestling San Diego Battleground Night Two from the San Diego Sports Arena, San Diego  Black Tiger vs. Chris Candido  The second night of San Diego Battleground kicks off with another hot Light Heavyweight match. Since Black Tiger's return to PCW, Chris Candido has been looking to avenge losing the Light Heavyweight title to the masked man. He came up short in his previous match but was determined not to let that happen again. This was a showdown of the skill and experience of the Tiger versus the energy and enthusiasm of Candido. It seemed like everything Candido threw at Tiger, Tiger had a response, but there was no keeping Candido down. Tiger looked to put him away with the Black Tiger Bomb, but Candido flipped out of it and rolled him up with a Sunset Flip. Tiger kicked out at 2, but when they got to their feet, Candido took him down with a back heel kick. He then raced up to the top rope and hit the New Jersey Jam to get the victory. Candido may not have been what one would call a fan favorite up to this point, but the fans were certainly cheering his big win.  Brian Lee vs. Cactus Jack  In his first year in PCW, Brian Lee has undergone quite the trial by fire, both from the Neighborhood Of Evil, and from possibly the craziest wrestler in PCW, Cactus Jack. Their feud came to a peak with this match, and both men came out guns blazing. There wasn't a whole lot of scientific wrestling in this match, mostly wild kicks and flying fists. It didn't take long for the match to spill out of the ring, and the battle raged up and down the aisles and all around the ring. Cactus tried to execute the Double Arm DDT on the concrete, but Lee powered out with a backdrop. He then hit the Prime Time Slam before dragging Cactus back in the ring for the three count. Lee just put a decisive stamp on proving himself as someone to watch in 1989.  Jim Neidhart vs. Masahiro Chono  One of the more significant changes in PCW in 1988 was the influx of several high profile Japanese wrestlers, and perhaps it was the Blood Syndicate that had the biggest impact. Leader Genichiro Tenryu has torn through the roster like a force of nature, but his young pupil Masahiro Chono has made a considerable name for himself. The Anvil was certainly a tough nut for Chono to crack, laying in some heavy shots on the Japanese star, but an inverted DDT from Chono was enough to put him away. The Blood Syndicate are just rolling through the opposition in PCW.  The Rainbow Warriors (Brian Adams & Vic Steamboat) vs. The Sin City Superstars (Scotty The Body & Mark Starr)  In a recent match with the Playboy Club, the Demon found himself abandoned by his erstwhile colleagues in Camp Cornette, resulting in Steamboat being badly beaten by Buddy Rose and the Sin City Superstars . Someone who didn't abandon him, though, was his good friend "The Crusher" Brian Adams, and the Rainbow Warriors reunited to get back at the Sin City Superstars. They fell into an easy familiarity right from the top of this match, tagging in and out like there had been no interruption in their partnership. But the Superstars were no slouches themselves, recently galvanized by Tina Ferrari into new competitive fury, and used their considerable guile to make a tense and fraught battle between the two teams. The momentum of the match swung between the two team, and it wasn't until all four men were scrapping in the ring that the match came to it's conclusion. Adams was able to hit a crushing Spinning Backbreaker on Starr and Steamboat was able to hold off Scotty long enough for the ref to count to three. The Superstars kept the battle going even after the bell rang, it was all that the PCW officials could do to get order restored. Even though they came out on the short end of their matches, the members of the Playboy Club are clearly just as dangerous as ever.  Maxx Payne vs. Louie Spicolli  Louie Spicolli has come out on the short end of most of his recent matches, but he hasn't let that get him down, and little by little, the fans have gotten behind this scrappy underdog. He was facing a pretty intimidating prospect in big Maxx Payne, but Spicolli was not about to take a backward step. He went toe to toe with the man from the State Of Euphoria and held his own, fighting out of every attempt to get him in the Payne Killer. Spicolli ultimately fell prey to the Payne Threshold (front layout suplex) and that gave the win to Maxx Payne. Payne still helped Spicolli up afterwards and gave him an encouraging pat on the back. Something tells me that the sun is going to shine on young Louie Spicolli, sooner or later.  The Force Of July (The Patriot & The Eagle) vs. Art Barr & Eddie Guerrero  With their colourful gear, athletic physiques and high impact style, the Force Of July have captured the imaginations of the Pacific Coast fans. Barr and Guerrero, on the other hand, have become increasingly distant since losing the Golden State Tag Team Titles. Barr has descended further and further into his bizarre Beetlejuice persona, which has led to Guerrero feeling at a loss as to just what to make of his partner. The Wild Things pair could not get on the same page in this match, and the masked team overwhelmed the former champions, taking Barr down for good with a double flying shoulder tackle. Barr and Guerrero argued after the match, and left the ring separately. It looks like this was their last match as a duo.  Bret Hart vs. Bam Bam Bigelow  Bret Hart has had a few months to gear up for this rematch, looking to get his win back from the Beast From The East, and was clearly ready to go from the moment he came out. Bigelow was just as game, and they quickly got down to business. Bigelow was looking even more aggressive in this match, hitting some truly impressive dropkicks that sent Hart flying across the ring. But the Hitman was not intimidate, and fired back with hammering blows. Both men went all out, and the mat shook with every slam and blow. Bret did manage to get to the second rope and hit an elevated Bulldog on Bigelow, just barely keeping his shoulders down for the count. Bigelow wanted to get another piece of Hart, but DDP held him back. Regardless, the Hitman had gotten his revenge.  California Title Match : Dustin Rhodes © vs. Bob Backlund  Dustin Rhodes has a substantial claim to being the PCW Rookie Of The Year for 1988. The son of the Son Of A Plumber has had a banner year, culminating in him winning the California Title from Buddy Rose. He would face his toughest title defense yet in the leader of the Knights Templar. Backlund was , of course, a former World Champion, as well as a former dual champion in Pacific Coast Wrestling, and did everything he could to get back the California title that he once held. Backlund tried to wrench Dustin's arms nine ways from Sunday to set him up for the Cross Face Chicken Wing, but the rangy Texan used his long limbs to get to the ropes and escape. He showed the fire and gumption that is his family's stock and trade, not knuckling under to Backlund and paying him back in kind. Backlund tried to tie him up in the Backlund Bridge, but Rhodes blocked it and rolled through with a Schoolboy Rollup, keeping his shoulders down for the three count. Backlund was clearly disgruntled by this result, but then, what else is new?  Shinya Hashimoto vs. Genichiro Tenryu  As mentioned earlier, 1988 saw several top level Japanese stars come to the Pacific Coast. Undoubtably the two most feared competitors from this group have been the legendary Genichiro Tenryu and fast rising prospect Shinya Hashimoto. The two have been circling each other for some time but now they would be facing each other one on one. This was definitely one of the hardest hitting matches of the show, with both men's chests being livid with welts from their brutal chops. Hashimoto tried to hit his Leaping Spike DDT, while Tenryu was going for his deadly Brainbuster, and while neither man was able to execute those moves, there was no limit to the unspeakable violence of the other moves they inflicted on each other. Both men chipped away at each other until Tenryu finally sent Hashimoto to the mat with an Enzuigiri. Even then , Hashimoto was able to stagger back to his feet in a Herculean effort. Tenryu seemed momentarily ago at this display of perseverance, but then hit another Enzuigiri to put him down one more time. He then swiftly leapt on Hashimoto and folded him up with a Power Bomb and that was that. Tenryu continues to be an unstoppable force.  Pacific Tag Team Title Match : The Southern Boys © vs. The Destruction Crew  The Destruction Crew started well at the beginning of the year, then seemed to drift a bit for the middle of the year. Lately, though , they have been galvanized under the leadership of Diamond Dallas Page and fought their way up to a shot at the Pacific Tag Team Titles. The Southern Boys have had their own incredible year, winning the Lonnie Mayne Memorial Tag Team Tournament on their way to taking the titles, and were not going to give up the belts without a fight. This was a down and dirty fight, with the Southern Boys holding the line against the furious assault of the Crew. Armstrong and Smothers withstood everything Bloom and Enos gave them and threw it right back in their faces. It got to the point where all four men were in the ring at once, which was when DDP decided to make his presence felt. He slid the sledgehammer into the ring, but when Bloom picked it up, Armstrong grabbed it at the same time. While the two men engaged in a tug of war, Enos clobbered Armstrong from behind with a clothesline to the back of the head. As the ref was distracted escorting Smothers from the ring, Enos slid the sledgehammer back to DDP while Bloom hit an elbow drop before covering. The ref came back in time to make the count and just like that, the Diamond Exchange had won their first gold.  Scott Hall vs. The Undertaker  The feud between the Brigade and the Neighborhood Of Evil has dominated much of the action on the West Coast for 1988. With the high profile defections of Barry Windham and Curt Hennig early in the year, Scott Hall has bravely taken point in this war, and his biggest enemy has become the nigh unstoppable Undertaker.  This feud set the stage for an epic match between the two. The two laid into each other with huge shots that threatened to break the ring. It seemed like nothing Hall did to the Undertaker would get him off his feet, but he just kept pounding away. A running boot to the chest finally took him down, but Undertaker just got back up again. Hall got him down again with a big bodyslam then followed up with a running Bombs Away kneedrop, only for Undertaker to dramatically sit up and stare at him. Hall did his best to show no fear, but was clearly concerned as to just what he would need to keep this man down. When the Undertaker went on the attack, he tried to choke Hall into unconscious, but the Gator was able to fight his away out of it. The match went back and forth, with both men tearing into each other with unrelenting ferocity. It looked like it was all over when the Undertaker got Hall by the throat in the middle of the ring, clearly setting him up for his dreaded Heart Punch. Hall fought courageously and was able to break the chokehold with a hard elbow, then brought the Dead Man to the mat with a swift power slam. He immediately followed up with a series of kneedrops and legdrops, not giving the Undertaker a moment's respite. He finally hoisted the Undertaker up and, with a mighty effort, hit the Gator Breaker (Fallaway Slam). One …. Two … THREE! Hall had managed the seemingly impossible and defeated the Undertaker! The crowd exploded in cheers as Hall celebrated his greatest victory yet.  Pacific Heavyweight Title Match : Barry Windham © vs. Billy Jack Haynes  And now, the much anticipated Main Event. Barry Windham has faced many tough challengers in his second run as Pacific Heavyweight Champ, but has always prevailed with his title intact. Now he was facing perhaps his most formidable opponent yet, the big man from Oregon Billy Jack Haynes . Billy Jack outlasted 19 other guys to earn his shot, and has been on an absolute rampage on the road to San Diego Battleground. Billy Jack was snarling and snorting like a bull seeing red on his way to the ring, and Sunshine didn't really seem to know what to make of her man, and was walking a few paces behind him. Once the bell rang, the two went at it, fist and fire. As could be imagined, this was far from a scientific showdown. It was an out and out, down and dirty fight. These two mauled each other like wildcats, with both men getting progressively more bloody, battered and bruised as the match kept grinding on. Billy Jack was able to dodge the Western Lariat from Windham, but was also unable to get him up in the Shoulder Breaker. Windham tried to get Haynes up top for the Superplex, but Haynes fought him off , first with forearm smashes and then a big boot that sent Windham sprawling back. Haynes stood in the corner, huffing and puffing, then exploded out of the blocks and levelled Windham with a clothesline. Unfortunately, the ref was standing right behind Windham and got taken down too. Haynes went for the cover, but the ref was not able to make the count. After a long wait, Haynes picked up Windham and hit a belly to back suplex and went for the pin again. This time, the ref dragged himself over and tapped Haynes on the shoulder. Billy Jack leapt to his feet, triumphant, convinced he had just won the Pacific Heavyweight Title. But the ref told him no, Windham was the winner, Billy Jack was disqualified for striking the ref. Billy Jack was livid, grabbed the ref by the collar and demanded that he change the decision. The ref was clearly terrified but refused, so Billy Jack locked him in the Full Nelson and started shaking him. Sunshine was pleading with him to let the ref go, but Billy Jack was beyond listening. It fell to Commissioner Dutch Savage to come out, clearly furious, and get on the ringside microphone, telling Haynes that he was already getting a substantial fine, but if he didn't release the ref immediately, he would be permanently suspended. Billy Jack finally let the ref go, dropping him hard to the mat, then stalked out of the ring, not to the locker room but right out of the arena. Sunshine stood in the ring with a look of confusion and horror before the Southern Boys came out and accompanied her back to the locker room. PCW officials had to come out with a stretcher to take the ref out of the ring and the fans were in shock as San Diego Battleground came to a close.   Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Control21 Posted November 12, 2023 Report Share Posted November 12, 2023 Two great shows back to back. A bit of a schmoz with the main event between Windham and Haynes, but it leaves you looking forward to more. First night in particular was the highlight for me with all of those matches like Hennig vs Steamboat and Rose vs Pillman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Autistic Dragon Posted November 12, 2023 Report Share Posted November 12, 2023 San Diego Battleground is here! Night 1. A win by Azul in a Light Heavyweight showcase definitely gets the fans fired up. The Animal takes down Tough Tony. Finlay makes a statement against the General. Silver shows Lynn why when you take a shot at the King you better not miss. Steamboat with the Perfect counter to Hennig's finisher. Regal brings the fight but the Beast still PCW' premier submission specialist. DDP and Adams may have just become the biggest heels in the Pacific by screwing Owen out of a job. The Midnights prove themselves the better cheaters against the Vampires. The Can-Am Express certainly put themselves at the top of the tag team contention by beating three other top pairs. Christopher with an act of ultimate disrespect to capture the Light Heavyweight Title. Rose shows he's still got a lot left in his tank but not enough to dethrone Pillman. Night 2. Candido comes out on top in a clash of former champions. Lee wins in a Wild brawl. Chono claims victory in the name of the Blood Syndicate. The Rainbow Warriors reunion is a success. There is going to be such a pop when Spicoli finally gets a win. Looks like Eddie and Barr are done as a duo. Wonder if this leads to either leaving the Wild Things. Bret gets his win back and some payback for his brother. Rhodes with a marque title defense. Tenryu can not be stopped. The DC are holding gold again. Hall is undoubtedly a made man in PCW. PCW tends to keep things simple so the ending of night 2 stands out all the more. A Dusty finish leads to Haynes snapping and poor Sunshine doesn't know what to do.

spaldoni Posted November 18, 2023 Report Share Posted November 18, 2023 Battleground, let's do this! Azul has been a highlight in the LHW division, smart move showcasing him to kick things off. Albright's rampage continues as he takes down one tough customer. Finlay blows his feud off with Burke, but man did he have to fight for it. Like Azul, King has added more fuel to the LHW's divisions fire. Nice move by Steamboat to counter Hennig. I believe we have the next serious contender. Severn gets another impressive defense but Regal proves he's more than a credible contender. Owen went out like a pro. DDP has a gem in Adams. Only the Midnights could out heel the heels. I always like Furnas and Lefon and it looks like they're in line for a title shot. Wow, Christopher pulls out the dirtiest tactics to win the LHW title. Talk about heat. Rose looks like his old self and takes Pillman to the limit but the always resilient Pillman finds a way to retain. Night 2! Candido shines bright tonight. Lee out brawls Cactus. I actually think both men will have a big year in 1989. Beating Anvil definitely elevates Chono. The Warriors have a successful reunion but the SCS will be back for more. Spicoli goes down in another game effort but his day is coming. Looks like Eddie has had enough of Barr's antics. It was great seeing the FOJ rack up another high profile win. Bret finally gets his revenge but I don't think Bam Bam is done with this fight. I believe young Dustin has solidified his right to be champion. Damn, Tenyru is a beast! Props to the Southern Boys for a fantastic run. I have to admit, I'm looking forward to a Destruction Crew reign. WHOA! Hall gets a tremendous career boost win over the Undertaker. Great feud, The ending to this show will be talked about for years to come. I was not expecting Haynes to snap like that. I mean he went off the deep end. I'm sure Windham was glad he got out of there. Can't say the same for the poor Ref. I can't wait to see the follow up. This show had it all and there was something for every kind of wrestling fan. Outstanding job! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rainmakerrtv Posted November 20, 2023 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2023 Pacific Wrestling Showcase from the Victoria Memorial Arena, Victoria, on ESPN / TSN, November 24th  Jim Neidhart vs. Jimmie Lee  There was a buzz among the crowd for this match, as it was known that it would be the Anvil's last match in the territory before moving on. Neidhart had strong ties to Canada, both for his history in Stampede and his connections with the Hart Family, so many fans were there to wish him well. He certainly rose to the occasion, battering the Grave Digger and escaping attempts to hit the Spinal Grinder. He was able to wear down Lee and lock him in the Anvilizer (modified Cobra Clutch) to get the win by Submission. Neidhart got on the ringside microphone and thanked the fans for their support, assuring them he would never forget them.  Dragon Azul vs. Black Tiger  Dragon Azul has established himself as one of the fastest rising stars in the Light Heavyweight division, and he certainly proved that at San Diego Battleground with a big victory over Robbie Brookside. Tonight, he would be facing another Light Heavyweight champ in Black Tiger, and the two masked men had a taught and highly competitive matchup. Dragon fought of attempts at both the kneeling piledriver and the Black Tiger Bomb before hitting his own piledriver on Black Tiger. He followed up with the Asai Moonsault and got the one two three. Dragon Azul is certainly set up for a big year in 1989.  Eddie Guerrero vs. Art Barr  At San Diego Battleground, Guerrero finally had enough of Art Barr's bizarre "Beetlejuice" persona, making his departure from both his partner and from the Wild Things. No surprise that this match was quickly signed, and while the two had many infamous battles before they teamed up, for this one Barr would have Cactus Jack in his corner. Guerrero seemed a bit wary about locking up with his former partner, but Barr showed no such reluctance, and it wasn't long before the two were scrapping with their old familiar fury. The turning point of the match came when Cactus Jack jumped on the ringside apron to interfere, but the ref caught him and ordered him to go back to the floor. Then, out of nowhere, a man in a green bodysuit and strange green mask rushed into the ring and clobbered Guerrero from behind with a running forearm smash to the back of the head. He then dove out of the ring and disappeared through the back of the arena, cackling all the way. Barr seemed as surprised as anyone else, but that didn't stop him from going up to the top rope and, when the ref finally turned back to the action in the ring, Barr came off the top rope for the Frog Splash and got the win. After the match, Cactus seemed unusually concerned over this strange man who interfered, but Barr seemed more bemused. That said, the question remains : who is this mysterious stranger? Interview : Don Coss stands in the ring  Coss : Ladies and gentlemen, my next guests have requested this time to make a special announcement … Sunshine and the Southern Boys! The crowd cheers as Sunshine, Tracy Smothers and Steve Armstrong head out to the ring. Smothers and Armstrong stay close by their manager, and while Sunshine is smiling, there is still a bit of a sad look on her face.  Coss : It is always good to see you, Sunshine, but I can't help noticing that Billy Jack Haynes is conspicuous by his absence.  Sunshine : Ummmmm, yeah, I actually haven't seen Billy Jack since San Diego. That's too bad, because I really would have loved to have him here for what I have to say. But I've got my boys here and I guess I'll just have to do the best I can. Don, I've really enjoyed being on the West Coast. I feel I have accomplished a lot in my time in the wrestling business. I was especially proud to see Steve and Tracy win the Pacific Tag Team Titles. I am satisfied with my career, but I feel that it is time to bring it to a close and do something else. This is incredibly hard to say, but I have decided to retire from the wrestling business. (The crowd gasps, but Steve and Tracy sadly nod) I have had a great time in wrestling, especially in PCW, and feel this is the point to wrap things up.  Smothers : Sunshine, we just want to say that we have been incredibly lucky to have you as a manager.  Armstrong : That's right, and we are going to win back the Tag Team titles and dedicate them to you. We swear that we are going to make you proud of us, boss.  Sunshine : You already have and always do, boys.  The crowd cheers as the three hug in the ring, giving a fond farewell to Sunshine.  Louie Spicolli vs. Bob Backlund  In his first run in PCW, Louie Spicolli was part of Bob Backlund's Knights Templar, forming a tag team with Chris Candido called the Suicide Blondes. Since his return, though, he has gotten nothing but a cold shoulder from the Knights and has been forced to go it alone. It has been a rough road for Spicolli, but one he has travelled with good humour and determination, earning him the affection of the fans as a lovable underdog. Backlund himself has had rather a tough time of it lately, and brought Candido to the ring with him, set on making an example of Spicolli in front of him. It seemed like Backlund brought to much of his own frustrations to the match, making more and more mistakes and getting progressively angrier as the match wore on. He was trying to put Spicolli in the dreaded Cross Face Chicken Wing, with Spicolli tenaciously doing everything to get out of it. Then, miraculously, Spicolli was able to hoist Backlund up on his shoulders then drive him down with the Samoan Drop. One … Two … THREE!!!!! The crowd exploded it as Spicolli pulled off this incredible upset. Backlund was livid , demanding that the ref reverse the decision. When the ref stood firm, Backlund took a swing at Spicolli, only for the younger man to shove him back. Backlund nearly had a conniption fit, then demanded Candido go after Spicolli. Candido gave a helpless look to his former partner and friend, then back to Backlund, then back to Spicolli … and then Candido and Backlund double dropkicked Backlund out of the ring! Backlund turned beet red then stalked back to the locker room. Candido and Spicolli high fived and left the ring together, their friendship apparently restored.  Bret Hart vs. Chris Adams  San Diego Battleground was bittersweet for Bret Hart . The Hitman managed to get back his win from Bam Bam Bigelow, but his brother Owen lost a Loser Leaves Town match to Chris Adams and was now gone from PCW. Determined to avenge his brother, Bret tore into Adams in this match, and both men were battered and bruised from the damage they inflicted on each other. Bret had gotten Adams in the corner and was firing punches at him when he was attacked from behind. It was Bam Bam Bigelow, who knocked him down to the mat. As the ref called for the DQ, Bigelow and Adams put the boots to Hart, and it looked like the Hitman was going to end up getting very badly hurt. It was at this point that Jim Neidhart charged into the ring to the rescue, swinging a metal chair and scattering the Diamond Exchange. He then helped up Bret and the two embraced, all while the fans cheered on the Hart Foundation in the ring together for possibly the last time. Bret may be standing tall now, but he certainly has a hard row to hoe in 1989, with Neidhart leaving PCW and his brother already gone. Here's hoping that Bret makes some new friends very soon.

rainmakerrtv Posted November 20, 2023 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2023 Pacific Coast Wrestling show from the Pacific Coliseum, Vancouver on Pacific Super Cards on ESPN / TSN , November 25th  Stormfront (Al Snow & Alex Porteau) vs. Joe & Dean Malenko  The last Vancouver show of 1988 kicked off with an action packed tag team match that went to Stormfront when they hit the Storm Warning (modified double Flapjack that drives the opponent down onto his head) on Joe.  Scott Hall vs. Curt Hennig  Both men were coming off big matches at San Diego Battleground, and while Hall was still showing signs of damage from his victory over the Undertaker, he still went to a 20 minute time limit draw with Mr. Perfect. The two seemed willing to still go after the match ended, so it seems like the two former friends are likely to cross paths again.  The Footloose vs. The Can-Am Express  Another furious tag team battle that ended when Furnas pinned Fuyuki with a German Suplex.  Tracy Smothers vs. Buddy Rose  Rose had a taught battle with the double tough Smothers but pulled out the victory with the Inside Out Backbreaker  California Title Match : Dustin Rhodes © vs. The Vampire Warrior  The Fanged One proved himself a very dangerous competitor in this match, busting open Rhodes early on and mauling him throughout the match. Nonetheless, the resilient Texan champion outlasted this assault and came back to pin him following a Running Bulldog Headlock.  Pacific Heavyweight Title Match : Barry Windham © vs. Brian Lee  Both men were coming off big victories at San Diego Battleground, and while they had both taken considerable damage in those matches, they were set on going all out in this Heavyweight Title Match. The young Bulldozer seemed to surprise Windham with how close he came on several occasions to scoring a decisive pinfall, the champion was able to take him down with a top rope flying lariat to successfully defend his title.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rainmakerrtv Posted November 20, 2023 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2023 Pacific Coast Wrestling show from the Kelowna Memorial Arena, Kelowna, November 26th  Steve Armstrong vs. Steven Regal  Two tough young competitors had a hard hitting match that went to the Englishman with the Regal Plex  Shinya Hashimoto vs. Cactus Jack  Once again, the man in the green mask made his presence felt , ambushing Hashimoto from behind outside the ring then scurrying off into the night. This led to a confused Cactus Jack getting the win by countout.  Leo Burke vs. Masahiro Chono  The Young Wolf Chono forced Burke to tap out to the STF  Pacific Tag Team Title Match : The Destruction Crew © vs. The Force Of July (The Patriot & The Eagle)  The Destruction Crew's first defense as Tag Team champs was a wild one. This was a crazy match between DDP's men and the popular masked duo that ended in a No Contest with both teams swinging sledge hammers at each other in the ring.  Silver King & The Rainbow Warriors (Vic Steamboat & Brian Adams) vs. Brian Christopher & The Midnight Express  As could be imagined , much of the action centred on Steamboat and Adams doing battle with the Midnights. But the finish came, perhaps a bit surprisingly, when Silver King hit the Silver Crash (rolling Fireman's Carry Slam) on Christopher and got the pinfall. This has to put Silver King in line for a shot at Christopher's Light Heavyweight Title in the New Year.  Pacific Television Title Match : Brian Pillman © vs. Fit Finlay  Brian Pillman has truly come into his own in 1988, winning the TV title and defending it against a host of top challengers. For his final defense of 1988, he couldn't have picked a tougher contender than the notorious Belfast Bruiser, Fit Finlay. Finlay certainly lived up to his sobriquet, battering Pillman with hard shots and jarring moves. But Pillman was made of pretty stern stuff himself, battling back and more than holding his own against the Fighting Irishman. The two had an epic battle that finally went to the champion when he levelled Finlay with the Air Pillman and got the one two three. And with that, Pacific Coast Wrestling closes out 1988. We will be back in 1989 with lots of new faces and great matches!  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Autistic Dragon Posted November 20, 2023 Report Share Posted November 20, 2023 Victoria. The Anvil goes out on a high note. The Dragon slays the Tiger, or at least a Cat. Looks like the Wild Things have someone angling for a spot. The Sun shall no longer shine on PCW. Spicoli finally gets a win and gets his friend Candido back. Hart heads into 1989 triumphant but alone. Â Vancouver. The Stormfront start the show with a big win. Hall continues his roll over Hennig. The Express & Rose with a pair of solid victories. Rhode and Windham close the show with a back to back successful defenses. Kelowna. Â Regal opens the night by getting that W. The masked man strikes again to Jack's confusion. Chono taps out the General. The Force show that DC they know how to wield a hammer. Silver King leads his team to victory and likely nets himself a title shot in the process. Pillman fends off Finlay to carry the TV title into 1989. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LastStopTour Posted November 20, 2023 Report Share Posted November 20, 2023 1988 comes to a close on the West Coast a month early, so we will all be expecting big things in '89 when it returns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rainmakerrtv Posted November 21, 2023 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2023 Pacific Coast Wrestling is taking it's traditional December break while the roster goes on vacation in Hawaii, and while the boys and girls of PCW enjoy the sunshine on Ikiki Beach, we will keep things interesting with a few promos here and there for upcoming new stars. Meanwhile, as a teaser, there is an advance announcement for the new year. On January 1st, the PCW New Years Day show will be its own special, coming from the Northlands Colisseum in Edmonton, Alberta. There will be many debuts taking place at that show, but we can already announce the main event for the show : Pacific Heavyweight Title Match : Barry Windham (c) vs. Scott Hall  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Autistic Dragon Posted November 21, 2023 Report Share Posted November 21, 2023 PCW is starting 89 with a bang! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Control21 Posted November 22, 2023 Report Share Posted November 22, 2023 Who's the mysterious green man? That should be a very interesting question going into 1989. As always, great shows and a fitting conclusion to 1988 for PCW. Bret Hart going at it alone should also be interesting, but perhaps this is what he needs to boost his career... Scott Hall vs Barry Windham is a great match on paper. Can Scott Hall make a statement or will Windham put away another young hot shot?
