Yeah, I agree. I have wanted to add it for a while but got ahead in my writing, so ended up cramming it in before Aloha Spectacular. Sorry about that. 

[LowBlowPodcast]

No doubt that PCW continues to be on top of the wrestling world. Your consistency has been key for this promotion to grow into such a powerhouse and showcase the talent as well as you do. I would like to see Malenko and Chono IRL... seems like a fun clash. 

[spaldoni]

Coast to Coast are tuned up and ready for some gold

The heels in PCW better be ready for the bad good guys Iron and Steel 

Austin makes sense clearing things up

Damn will Steamboat survive against Williams? 

If there was ever a title suited for PCW, it's the trios title. The Money Train are great choices to hold the belts first. These will be some very entertaining title matches. 

LA

The way they've been working together, Windham and the Thrillseekers could be in line for a trios title shot.

Thanks to Tina's distractions, Scotty's been racking up wins

I can go for more Tenryu/Bigelow matches

I think Regal's ready for Condrey

Damn, is the Kid ok? 

Steamboat couldn't have found a better tune up for Williams. 

Santa Barbara

Hart will always give respect when deserved

Adams superkick is still one of the best finishers

Gordy bangs up Snow

Sarge wins another battle against camp Cornette

Malenko and Chono give the fans their money's worth 

Azul closes things out on another exciting note

Pacific Coast Wrestling Aloha Spectacular 1990 from the Neal S. Blaisdell Center in Honolulu, Night One

 

Pacific Trios Title Match : The Money Train (Jason Jett, Chris Hamrick & David Cash) © vs. The Hollywood Heartbreakers (Jimmy Del Ray, Big Vito Lograsso & Billy Black)

 

The first PCW Mega Show of 1990 kicks off with a title match of the newly emerging Trios Division. The Money Train and the Hollywood Heartbreakers have been exciting fans up and down the coast with some fast paced bouts, and certainly pulled out all the stops and the  big moves. Del Ray very nearly got the win with a running legdrop on Hamrick, but Jett broke up the pin and hit the Crash Landing (rolling release suplex) to get the win. One can expect big things from both of these teams in 1990.

 

Big Bully Busick & Shane Douglas vs. Dean Malenko & Eddie Guerrero

 

From the moment they formed, the Hexagon swiftly made a name for themselves as one of the most dangerous young groups in PCW. They have scored a fair number of high profile victories, including over their sworn enemies in the Citadel. Despite this success, Big Bully Busick has proved to be a nut that they have struggled to crack. The Man From Powerhouse Hill has rallied the Citadel and has held back the time of the Hexagon. Malenko and Guerrero did their best to get some sort of advantage over the Citadel, with Guerrero focusing on trying to keep Douglas in the ring while Malenko sharpshooting on Busick's legs to try and weaken him. It was all for naught, as Douglas was able to make a hot tag and Busick taking Guerrero out with the Bully Breaker (Hangman neckbreaker) for the win. A furious Sinister Minister was muttering something to Guerrero and Malenko on the way to the back, and they were scowling and nodding their heads. Something tells me that the Hexagon are going to go to drastic measures.

 

Iron & Steel (Tony Atlas & Larry Cameron) vs. The Blood Syndicate (Genichiro Tenryu & Masahiro Chono)

 

Iron & Steel have been steadily rising in the PCW Tag Team rankings ever since their return, scoring a series of high profile victories over tough competition. Tonight would be their fiercest opposition yet, taking on the Japanese legend Tenryu and his pupil Chono. The duo from Japan gave Iron & Steel a number of close calls,  but Atlas and Cameron were able to pull out the win with a Spike Piledriver on Chono. It won't be long until Iron & Steel get in solid title contention.

 

Sgt. Slaughter vs. Fit Finlay

 

Since his arrival on the West Coast, Sarge has been focused on backing up his allies in the Force Of July for their feud with the Midnight Express.  Tonight, however, he would square off an opponent who may well be as tough as the Marine DI. The Fighting Irishman went all out against Sgt. Slaughter, and the fists were flying throughout this match. Both men were a bloody mess at the end of this match, but Slaughter was able to connect with the Slaughter Cannon to pull out the win. Just goes to show, never bet against the Real American Hero.

 

Stormfront (Al Snow & Jerry Lynn) vs. The Lightning Kid & Rob Zakowski

 

Lightning Kid and Zakowski were the first to appear as members of the Hexagon on New Year's Day, and they have been lighting up arenas ever since, especially in matches with Stormfront. Both sides thrilled the crowd with their high flying action, culminating in Lightning Kid pinning Lynn following a mooonsault body press. These four young men are setting a new standard for high action matches.

 

Bret Hart vs. Terry Gordy

 

It didn't take long for this straightforward feud to boil over into a raging inferno of hatred. Early on, Bret busted Gordy open with an elbow to the face, which caused Gordy to see red, literally and figuratively. Gordy dragged Bret to the outside and drove him face first into a corner post, so the claret was flowing with both men. The two kept tearing at each other until they were both a bloody mess, leaving the ref with no choice to declare a no contest. Both wanted to keep going, and it took Bam Bam Bigelow and Ted Dibiase to keep the two apart and back to the locker room. No way is this the last we see of these two facing each other.

 

Steve Austin vs. Chris Adams

 

"Stunning" Steve has had a target on his blonde head ever since cutting ties with the Diamond Exchange. His most persistent pursuer has been the "English Gentleman" Chris Adams, who has been relentless in attacking the young Texan, determined to get the proverbial pound of flesh for Diamond Dallas Page. Adams went after Austin hard, but Stunning Steve used his considerable athleticism to keep one step ahead. Austin was able to dodge an attempted Superkick and counter with a rollup for a 2 count. He then followed up with the Stun Gun, but before he could go for the cover, DDP jumped on the ring apron and clobbered him with his diamond handled cane. This didn't do much more than annoy Austin, but as he grabbed Page, he was ambushed from behind by Mike Awesome, appearing out of nowhere. Awesome hit a crushing Awesome Bomb, and he , Adams and DDP continued to attack the prone Austin until Pierre Carl Ouellet charged in with a chair to run them off. Looks like the war with the Diamond Exchange is about to ascend to a new level.

 

California Title Match : Steven Regal © vs. Dennis Condrey

 

Regal has an incredible run as California Champion, seeing off a host of top rank challengers with his head held high. One challenger who just won't go away is "Loverboy" Dennis Condrey. Jim Cornette has been persistent in getting his man's title shot and focused on brining gold back to Camp Cornette. Interestingly, Cornette was relatively hands off in this match, constantly nattering at ringside but otherwise remaining uninvolved in the action. Condrey let his actions speak for themselves , putting in a ferocious challenge to the English Lion. Regal had faced the veteran before, but this seemed to be his most focused challenge yet, resulting in a gripping match. Regal tried to put him away with the Regal Plex, but was too close to the ropes, and Condrey was able to grab them to block the move. Quick as a flash, he turned it around into the Full Nelson Facebuster, and just like that, it was all over. Condrey was now California champ, and Jim Cornette was ecstatic.

 

Golden State Tag Team Title Match : The Dreamboats (Tommy Dreamer & Glamour Boy Shane) © vs. Coast 2 Coast (John Tatum & Jack Victory)

 

No doubt about it, these two sides utterly despise each other. Trisa Hayes was giving John Tatum a particularly acidic look at Tatum while the teams faced each other before the opening bell, but once that bell rang, it was game on. The Dreamboats at least tried to make a semblance of a sporting match, using their quick tags to try to befuddle the former Pacific Tag Champs. Coast 2 Coast instead went with a strategy of cheat, cheat, and if that doesn't work, cheat some more. The challengers thought the titles would be theirs when Victory held Shane for Tatum to hit the California Kick. Shane was able to dodge out of the way and Victory was just barely able to catch Tatum's foot to avoid being kicked. However, this left Tatum vulnerable to being rolled up by Dreamer while Shane held off Victory, and this got the champs the victory. It took a lot of work , but the Dreamboats were able to hold onto their titles.

 

Pacific Television Title Match : Shinya Hashimoto © vs. Scotty The Body

 

Hashimoto has had a long and incredible TV title reign, one which Scotty The Body has set out to end. Scotty was able to use his guile and speed to keep in the match, but he wasn't really able to make much of a dent in the Japanese star. That took a drastic turn as Tina Ferrari took matters into her own hands, yanking down the top rope as Hashimoto was running, sending him tumbling out of the ring. Scotty took immediate advantage, tossing Hashimoto into the corner post and the barricades before bringing him back into the ring. Scotty had the upper hand for a while before Hashimoto. Hash started lacing into Scotty with kicks, and it looked like he would keep the title reign going for a big longer, but Scotty nailed him with a low blow kick, cutting the comeback short. He swiftly hit the Body Shot (DDT), and the ref counted to three. Night One closed out with a new champion. Lets see what Night Two brings.

[rainmakerrtv]

Pacific Coast Wrestling Aloha Spectacular 1990 from the Neal S. Blaisdell Center in Honolulu, Night Two

 

The Thrillseekers vs. The Suicide Blondes

 

As hinted by their name, the Thrillseekers have been provided plenty of thrills to their fans. The Canadian duo emerged at the top of the year as immediate crowd pleasers, and the PCW audience have supported them through wins and losses thanks to their gregarious personalities and daredevil style. They were taking on tough opposition in their first ever Mega Show appearance, as the Suicide Blondes had gained a considerable edge to their behavior since joining the Playboy Club. The Blondes certainly put them through the ringer with their ruthless tactics, but Jericho and Storm kept bouncing back with more high flying moves, ultimately taking down Candido with a springboard double dropkick for the win. Further proof that PCW's tag team division is on fire.

 

Roddy Piper vs. Art Barr

 

Alongside his feud with the Playboy Club, Piper has been trying to teach Art Barr a bit of respect, but Barr doesn't seem to have much respect for anyone. This was an especially chaotic brawl, with nary a lockup or drop toehold to be seen. Things completely broke down when Buddy Rose and Scotty The Body showed up at ringside, leading to Piper brawling with them outside. This only served to further annoy Barr, who did a spectacular dive out of the ring onto all three men. By the time they got to the ring, Piper and Barr kept slugging it out until the ref called for a double countout. As they left the ring, Barr and the Sinister Minister were glowering at both Piper and the Playboy Club.

 

Pierre Carl Ouellette vs. Sabu

 

The Sinister Minister brought that anger to the next match, with him seeming to give orders to Sabu to make an example of PCO. The Fighting French Canadian certainly wasn't the example making type, and refused to give an inch as he fought back with equal fury. This was a mighty struggle indeed, but in the end, Sabu would not be denied as he hit a moonsault to the skies to score the one two three. A bit win for Sabu, but PCO made him work for every bit of it.

 

Dan Severn & Steve Blackman vs. The Oregon Wrecking Crew (Gary Albright & David Young)

 

The OWC started out in the Terror Collective as the junior members, but there could be no denying that they are carrying their share of the load now. They would be facing the more experienced Citadel duo of Severn and Blackman, and while the Citadel certainly acquitted themselves well, Young catching Blackman in the Spinebuster Slam gave the win to the OWC. Do the Terror Collective have any weak spots?

 

Billy Gunn vs. Mike Awesome

 

After his ambush of Steve Austin the night before, Awesome was drawing a huge amount of boos from the crowd. Billy Gunn gave a valiant effort and held off Awesome for as long as he good, but it was only a matter of time before the end came via the Awesome Bomb. A convincing win, but let's see how well he does now that he has made an enemy of Steve Austin.

 

The Force Of July (The Patriot & The Eagle) vs. Harlem Heat

 

The match was further proof of the depth of the PCW tag team division, with the beloved patriotic duo of the Patriot and the Eagle squaring off against DDP's new duo of Booker T and Stevie Ray. Despite some powerful moves from Harlem Heat, it looked like the FOJ were headed for victory. Just as the Patriot was headed up top for the Patriot Missile, Jim Cornette and the Midnight Express snuck up from behind and shoved him off the top turnbuckle. This left the masked man prey for a spin kick from Booker, giving the win to Harlem Heat . Something tells me it won't be long before the FOJ come looking for payback.

 

Bam Bam Bigelow vs. Buddy Rose

 

Rose and Tina Ferrari came out to their usual chorus of boos. After that, Bam Bam came out, but then stopped in the aisle , turned back to the locker room, and gave a beckoning motion with his hand. It wasn't long before Roddy Piper came out, making a beeline for Rose, but Bigelow changed his hand to a halting gesture, and Piper stood staring at him in surprise. Bigelow leaned in and whispered something in his ear, Piper seemed to respond agitatedly but Bigelow held him by the shoulders and said something close to his face. Piper stared for a long pause, then nodded and headed back to the locker room. After that strange prologue , the match got down to business. Rose was wily as ever, but the boundless enthusiasm of Bigelow was the real story of the match. The Beast From The East showed incredible quickness during this match, especially for such a big man, and none of the Playboy's tricks were able to slow him down for long. Bigelow hit the slingshot splash, and defeated the former 2 time Pacific Heavyweight champ for the New Jersey Fireball's highest profile victory yet.

 

Barry Windham vs. Brian Lee

 

Windham and Lee have been going at it fist and fire ever since the Bulldozer abandoned Barry and the rest of the Brigade. These two tore into each other with a fury born of resentment and betrayal. Lee, for his part, has continued to take a hard line with his opponents since joining the Playboy Club, much like the Suicide Blondes. Windham was able to keep Lee from hitting the Prime Time Slam, but in turn, Lee was able to dodge the Western Lariat. Windham was finally able to catch Lee in a Waistlock Suplex to just barely hold him down for a three count, but even after the bell, Lee blindsided Windham with a forearm smash to the back of the head. He was soon joined by Scotty The Body and the Suicide Blondes, to put the boots to Windham, but Billy Gunn and the Thrillseekers quickly came out to run them off. It seems the well of resentment runs deep with Brian Lee.

 

Pacific Light Heavyweight Title Match : Dragon Azul © vs. Erin O'Grady

 

Since its inception, the Pacific Light Heavyweight Title has been setting the standard for hot action and classic matches. Dragon Azul has been having an incredible title run, with plenty of great matches against top flight opponents. The Leprechaun proved to be quite a handful for the masked star, and the match was all go from the opening bell. After a tightly contested bout, Dragon pinned O'Grady with a flying victory roll, continuing his run of great title defenses.

 

Pacific Tag Team Title Match : Phoenix Rising (Toshiaki Kawada & Kensuke Sasaki) ©  vs. The Midnight Express

 

In their time on the West Coast, the Midnight Express have held both the Pacific and Golden State Tag Team Titles multiple times. Undoubtably the most decorated tag team in PCW history, Jim Cornette's men have earned a shot at another run with the belts , and they were looking to make the most of it. All of their tricks, combination moves, and double team tactics came into play as they did all they could to get back the belts they have always seen as theirs. The champs fought back with a steely determination, forged in the fires of a brutally tough title reign. Cornette seemed to feel that his men needed just one last touch to put it over the top, and got set to toss in his loaded tennis racquet. He was startled to have his hand be grabbed by Sgt. Slaughter, with the Patriot and the Eagle in tow, all clearly unimpressed by his earlier interference in the Force Of July's match. Cornette's panicking at ringside caused a lapse in concentration for the Midnight Express, and Lane was caught by Sasuke with an Iponzei. This was swiftly followed by a Strangle Hold Gamma which forced Lane to tap out. Cornette and the MX are finding out that actions have consequences.

 

Pacific Heavyweight Title Match : Ricky Steamboat © vs. Steve Williams (with Ted Dibiase)

 

At the end of two big nights of action, at last came the main event. Ricky Steamboat had been running the gauntlet of the heavy hitters from the Terror Collective, but was facing perhaps the biggest gun of them all. Doctor Death has been destroying everyone in his path, and was looking at the Dragon as though he was a particularly tempting snack. Steamboat was looking, well, not afraid, but definitely with considerable concern and apprehension. The moment the bell rang, Williams exploded out of the blocks and charged at Steamboat. Steamboat had this spotted and dodged out of the way. This continued for a while, with Steamboat acting the matador to Williams' enraged bull. Steamboat's luck ran out when Williams caught him with a clothesline and bowled him over. Williams then laid in some brutal shots at the champ before some crushing slams and throws. Steamboat was able to fight his way back, but seemed to be on the back foot for much of this match. He did all he could to wear Williams down, but Doctor Death seemed to have a lot in the tank. Williams went for the kill when he got Steamboat set for an Oklahoma Stampede into the turnbuckle, but at the last second, the champ escaped with a slide down and Williams went chest first into the corner. Steamboat then used Williams momentum to get him over for a belly to back suplex, but could only keep him down for a two count. He then started blistering him with chops, and by this point, Williams was clearly groggy. Steamboat then got him down with a running face slam into the mat, and ascended to the top turnbuckle. He had enough time to give a hard stare to Williams, then came off the top with a diving cross body press. One … two … THREE!!! Steamboat had pulled it off and survived his sternest test yet. He didn't have long to celebrate, though. Ted Dibiase, who had been at ringside for the whole match, came in the ring, checked on Williams, then confidently walked over to Steamboat. He pointed to Steamboat, then pointed to himself. He then pointed at the Pacific Title belt, then pointed to his own waist. He collected Williams and walked back to the locker room. It looks like, sooner rather than later, Steamboat is going to have to contend with the Man Of Means .

[LowBlowPodcast]

You've got a ton of intriguing matchups... I'd personally like to see how Condrey does as a singles.... Bam Bam vs Buddy Rose is something I'd like to check out... Kawada and Sasaki v the Midnights...  and then... to top it off... Steamboat... the ultimate underdog against the man who sees fear in no man... Dr. Death. PCW is always good for a mix and mash of some of the biggest what ifs or what could have beens in our game.

Awesome show!

Pacific Wrestling Showcase from the Victoria Memorial Arena, Victoria, on ESPN / TSN, March 7^th

 

Mike Awesome vs. Ibrehem Rahman

 

Awesome came out feeling full of himself, looking smug after both defeating Billy Gunn and ambushing Steve Austin. DDP was bragging at ringside as well, while Awesome completely dismantled poor Rahman in the ring before putting the last nail in the coffin with the Awesome Bomb. If he really has taken out Austin for good, that is a truly impressive claim on Awesome's resume.

 

Big Bully Busick & Shane Douglas vs. Eddie Guerrero & Dean Malenko

 

While the Hexagon still have a lot of momentum, a consistent stumbling block for them has been Big Bully Busick. No matter what they have thrown at him, the man in the derby hat has always been able to come out on top. One more time, they did all they could to keep away from him and focus their attack on Douglas. It was all for naught, as Shane was able to make a rolling tag and Busick swiftly put away Malenko with his dreaded Spinebuster Slam. The Hexagon were silent as they left the ring, but they both looked at the Sinister Minister, nodded, and he nodded back to the end . Sinister doings are clearly afoot.

 

Interview : Don Coss stands in the ring

 

Coss : Ladies and gentlemen, my next guests are one of the most popular factions on the West Coast … the Brigade!

 

The fans warmly greet the two athletic Texans. Barry Windham and Billy Gunn amiably high five the hands of the fans as they make their way to the ring.

 

Coss : A warm welcome as always from the fans, gentlemen!

 

Windham : And it is always appreciated, Don. But we'll cut straight to the chase. It is still just the two of us, and while Billy here is an amazing partner, a duo doesn't make for much of a Brigade. But we're being patient. Roddy Piper gave us some good advice, and we're sure that, when the right candidates appear, they will come to us …

 

He is cut off as "Rock America" plays over the arena PA. The Canadian fans know what is coming next, and loudly cheer as their countrymen, the Thrillseekers, dash to the ring, slapping palms along the way.

 

Chris Jericho : Wait no longer, boys, because here we are! Face it … you need us, and we need you. You need two talented , handsome young studs to make the Brigade whole … and here we are! What we need is leadership. We need to learn from the best to become the best, and let's face it … the Brigade are the best. We will bring it for the Brigade, night after night, and we won't stop. We will be completely dedicated to the Brigade, and everything we do will be for the Boys!

 

Lance Storm : Ferda Boys!

 

Together : FERDA!!!!!!

 

Billy Gunn : (puzzled look) Barry, these guys are kind of weird … but they're not wrong. We've both teamed with him, and you've got to admit, the chemistry is there. I think we've found the winners here. What do you say?

 

Windham : Well, what else is there to say , but … welcome to the Brigade, boys!

 

Chris Hamrick vs. Big Vito Lograsso

 

These two helped kick off Aloha Spectacular with an absolute barnstormer of a Trios Title Match. Tonight, they would be squaring off in singles action. Both Big Vito and his manager, Jim Cornette, were set on avenging the earlier loss, and Vito was particularly ferocious in his offense. Hamrick did all he could to hold back the tide, but wound up overwhelmed when Vito hit the Sicilian Smash (running forearm smash to the face). Vito got the three count, and Cornette was crowing as they headed back to the locker room.

 

Interview : Don Coss stands in the ring

 

Coss : Ladies and gentlemen …. Errrr, the Terror Collective!

 

The crow explodes in boos, while Ted Dibiase leads his men (Terry Gordy, Steve Williams, Gary Albright, David Young) to the ring. Dibiase is looking like the proverbial cat that ate the canary.

 

Coss : Mr. Dibiase, ummm, with all due respect, sir … you seem all confidence, but in the time you have been in Pacific Coast Wrestling, you have not yet won a single title.

 

Dibiase : All part of the plan, Coss. You see, it wouldn't do the Collective any good to just walk over a bunch of cream puffs. We deliberately went to Pacific Coast Wrestling because it is the most prestigious promotion in all of wrestling and has the toughest competition. We've sent our very best against Ricky Steamboat, and he still has the title, but that will only make it so much sweeter when we inevitably do win. Credit where it is due, Steamboat, you are a great champion. But we are persistent, and your time is coming to a close. In fact, it won't be too long before everyone in the Terror Collective has a title. And Bret Hart … Terry here has something to say to you.

 

Gordy : Bret Hart! Daddy's Boy! You just got a taste of what is coming for you when we fought at Aloha Spectacular! You were lucky to make it out, but I ain't through with you by a damned sight! Gonna send you running back to your pappy with your tail between your legs, make no mistake!

 

Bret Hart vs. Fit Finlay

 

Well , after that interview, Bret Hart may well have been keeping an eye out for Terry Gordy in his match. Gordy didn't make an appearance, but the Hitman had his hands full with the Belfast Bruiser. The pugnacious Irishman refused to take any backwards steps, resulting in a hard hitting bout where Bret took every thot that Finlay dished out, and Finlay evaded the Sharpshooter but went down to a diving bulldog Headlock. A hard fought win, with the threat of Terry Gordy still looming over Bret Hart's head.

 

Steven Regal vs. John Tatum

 

Regal is coming off the hard loss of his California Title to Dennis Condrey, but is coming back to show he is still a contender. His opponent, John Tatum, may be best known in PCW as a tag team wrestler, but also has a considerable history in singles action, and was canny enough to avoid some of Regal's moves, but it seemed like the English Lion was starting to catch up with him when things took a strange turn. Jack Victory, Tatum's Coast 2 Coast partner, started slowly walking down the aisle towards the ring. This led to Trisa Hayes and the Dreamboats to come out to block his way. An argument started between the two sides, the ref left the ring to break things up. Behind him in the ring, a huge and cowled figure dashed in out of the crowd and attacked Regal from behind. He ambushed Regal with a brutal clothesline, then power slammed him and hit a crushing sitting splash before dodging out of the ring. When the ref got back to the ring, all he could see was Tatum covering Regal, and had no choice to make the three count. After the match, while the Dreamboats were checking on Regal, Tatum and Victory were joined by the mystery man, who took off his cowl and revealed ….. "The Monster" Makhan Singh! Singh had a brief but impactful run in PCW some years ago, and had now returned to align with Coast 2 Coast. A dangerous new element to bring into their feud with the Dreamboats, but is it worth drawing the ire of Steven Regal?

 

[rainmakerrtv]

Pacific Coast Wrestling show from the Pacific Coliseum, Vancouver on Pacific Super Cards on ESPN / TSN , March 8^th

 

David Cash vs. Billy Black

 

In the second singles battle this weekend between members of the Money Train and the Hollywood Heartbreakers, Billy Black and Jim Cornette were looking to keep the momentum going. However, despite some impactful moves from the Redneck Casanova, Cash hit a spectacular Hurricanrana from the top rope to even the weekend score for the Money Train.

 

Barry Windham, Billy Gunn & The Thrillseekers vs. Brian Lee, Scotty The Body & The Suicide Blondes

 

This would be the first official match for the new lineup of the Brigade. Lee went after Windham hard, but the Thrillseekers pulled the match out with a double top rope dropkick on Spicolli .

 

Bam Bam Bigelow vs. Genichiro Tenryu

 

Two weeks ago, these two went to an exciting double countout draw. Tonight, they once again went to a hard fought draw, this time due to the 20 minute time limit running out.

 

Pierre Carl Ouellet vs. Chris Adams

 

PCO dodged the Superkick and hit a package piledriver to get something of an upset win. The Canadian fans were ecstatic for this major victory for the Fighting French Canadian.

 

Ricky Steamboat, Bret Hart & Shinya Hashimoto vs. Ted Dibiase & The Miracle Violence Combination

 

In a long and ferocious war, Dibiase jacked Steamboat in the back of the head with a loaded black glove to steal the win.

 

[rainmakerrtv]

Pacific Coast Wrestling show from the Kelowna Memorial Arena, Kelowna, March 9^th

 

Jason Jett vs. Jimmy Del Ray

 

This would be the rubber match for the weekend series between the Money Train and the Hollywood Heartbreakers, and while it could have gone either way, Jett finally took the match and series for the Money Train with the Crash Landing (rolling release suplex)

 

The Force Of July (The Patriot & The Eagle) vs. The Midnight Express

 

The war between these two teams kept raging with the Express taking this round with Eaton hitting the Alabama Jam on the Eagle.

 

Sgt. Slaughter vs. Jack Victory

 

Perhaps it was looking to make up for the FoJ's earlier loss, perhaps he took umbrage at what Victory helped do to Steven Regal earlier in the weekend. Whatever it was, Slaughter made an example of Victory, tossing him about the ring before forcing him to surrender to the Cobra Clutch.

 

Art Barr vs. Jerry Lynn

 

Ever since the coalition of the Hexagon, Barr has been going to a whole new dangerous gear, and went all out to defeat Lynn with a Frog Splash.

 

Golden State Tag Team Title Match : The Dreamboats (Tommy Dreamer & Glamour Boy Shane) © vs. The Fighting Irish (Fit Finlay & Erin O'Grady)

 

In a tough bout, the Dreamboats successfully defended their titles when Shane executed the Glamour Profession (top rope elbow drop) on O'Grady.

 

California Title Match : Dennis Condrey © vs. Steve Blackman

 

This would be Condrey's first defense of his newly won title, and he proved that his win was no fluke as he defeated a game Blackman with the reverse DDT.

For the boys = Ferda boys = FERDA!

It's from a Canadian series called Letterkenny. For a while, I had been toying with the idea of modeling some of my writing of the Thrillseekers on two characters from the show, Reilly and Jonesy, two dim witted but good natured hockey players. I felt Jericho and Storm kind of came off this way in their intro videos to SMW.

[spaldoni]

Awesome is on a rampage but I don't think we've seen the last of Austin 

Hmmmmm what's up with the Minister? 

Finally the Brigade get some help. Ferda lol I'm glad you explained that 

Vito makes Cornette proud

Dibiase's gunning for Steamboat while Gordy has plans for Hart

Hart tunes up well for Gordy

Makhan is back in the game! 

Vancouver,

Cash chalks one up for the Money Train

The Brigade is at full strength 

Bigelow and Tenryu are tearing it up 

Yea, I would call that an upset. Big confidence booster for PCO 

It's on now! Dibiase and Steamboat, bring it on! 

Kelowna,

Money Train wins the weekend series 

The Midnights win a battle, but the FOJ will live to fight another day 

Poor Victory felt the wrath of Slaughter 

Sinister really has Barr on a whole new level 

Dreamboats keep their dream title reign going

Condrey's been killing it

Makhan Singh vs. Bobby John Drinkard

 

Last week, "The Monster" Makhan Singh made his shocking return to PCW with a dastardly attack on Steven Regal. Drinkard was no doubt one of many who were wishing he had not returned. John Tatum and Jack Victory were both at ringside, smirking while their new ally pounded the living daylights out of Drinkard before finishing him off with the Monster Mash (front slam). They might not be smiling so much when Regal comes after them for revenge.

 

Roddy Piper vs. Chris Candido

 

This was … strange. Once again, the Playboy Club were gunning for Piper, sending one half of the Suicide Blondes after him. Piper certainly used his experience and guile against Candido, but the former Light Heavyweight champ was no pushover, and gave as good as he got. The bizarre part came when Candido's partner, Louie Spicolli, came running out, looking to tip the balance of the match. He didn't get more than a few steps out of the entrance when, out of nowhere, he was torpedoed to the ground by Art Barr with a vicious spear. Barr didn't do more afterwards than give Spicolli a baleful glare before disappearing back into the crowd. Candido was so caught off guard by these events that he was an easy mark for Piper's belly to back suplex that got the win for the Hot Scot. The three way drama between Piper, Barr and the Playboy Club continues to be one of the more unusual stories on the West Coast.

 

 

Interview : Don Coss stands in the Crow's Nest

 

Coss : Ladies and gentlemen, my next guest continues to make waves up and down the west coast … Bam Bam Bigelow!

 

The crowd cheers as the Beast From The East, sporting his usual amiable gap toothed grin, makes his way to the Crow's Nest.

 

Coss : Bam Bam, you are coming off one of the biggest wins of your career, defeating the former 2 time Pacific Heavyweight Champ "Playboy" Buddy Rose at Aloha Spectacular. A lot of folks are wondering about the interaction you had with "Rowdy" Roddy Piper, who we just saw. Care to fill us in?

 

Bigelow : Sure thing, Don. You see, Roddy has his own beef with Rose. Figures, Rose gets under the skin of a lot of people. He was so mad, he wanted to get his own shot at Buddy. I just asked him if he could do me a big favor and turn back around. I wanted to get my win my own way, entirely my own doing. Roddy is a man among men and knew what I was talking about. He turned around and let me take care of business. And I did!

 

Coss : It was an impressive win , that's for sure. Now you seem to be having a bit of a feud with Genichiro Tenryu.

 

Bigelow : That's right, Don. Like I said at the start of the year, I am set on breaking out in a big way this year. The only way I can do that is taking on the very best. Tenryu's a legend, one of the toughest guys in wrestling. If I can beat him, I can beat anyone! And once I do that, I am going right up to the top of PCW!

 

Big Bully Busick vs. Rob Zakowski

 

For the past several weeks, Big Bully Busick has proved to be the kryptonite to the Hexagon in their war with the Citadel. No matter what they have tried, the Man From Powerhouse Hill has always come out on top. Tonight, they are throwing out one of their biggest aces in the thrilling high flyers, Rob Zakowski. Busick made sure to have his good friend Shane Douglas in his corner to watch his back. Zakowski was able to land some impressive flying kicks but they didn't seem to make much of a dent in Busick. Things took a turn when Dean Malenko and Eddie Guerrero started walking down the runway to the ring. Douglas went out to intercept them, but this proved to just be a diversion from the real attack. Someone rushed out of the crowd, brandishing a steel chair, (a lot of people hiding in the crowd these days) and attacked Busick in the ring. It was Sabu! While Guerrero and Malenko double teamed Douglas, Sabu and Zakowski ganged up on Busick, with Sabu hitting a slingshot legdrop assisted by the chair. Malenko and Guerrero came into the ring and held Busick prone while Sabu hit some brutal chair shots before they all scattered back to the locker room. It looks like the Hexagon have taken the nuclear option in dealing with Busick.

 

Big Vito Lograsso vs. Jim Lynch

 

While Big Vito has mostly been in six man tag team action, "The Italian Stallion" has also had some standout performances in singles matches. Jim Cornette's recruit made a show of force in easily dominating Lynch before finishing him off with the Sicilian Smash (running forearm smash to the face). Camp Cornette remains a force to be reckoned with in Pacific Coast Wrestling.

 

Sgt. Slaughter vs. Booker T

 

Another tag wrestler trying his hand at singles action this week is Booker T, one half of DDP's powerful new team of Harlem Heat. He certainly had his work cut out for him with his opponent, the All American hero Sgt. Slaughter. Booker did manage to get some power moves in, but the double tough Marine DI proved to be too much, taking Booker down with the Slaughter Cannon. Just goes to show, it would take a lot to put Sarge down.

 

Pacific Television Title Match : Scotty The Body © vs. Al Snow

 

While the Playboy Club have had their hands full with the likes of Roddy Piper, the Brigade, and possibly even Art Barr, Scotty The Body has been keeping their profile high with his holding the Pacific TV Title. He was confident as always as he faced Al Snow, and while the Snowman gave him a few scares, Scotty was able to hit the Body Shot (DDT) to keep the title firmly in his possession. Scotty clearly has no intention of letting go of the title any time soon.

Pacific Coast Wrestling show from the Portland Memorial Coliseum , Portland , on Pacific Super Cards on ESPN / TSN, March 15^th

 

Pierre Carl Ouellet vs. Chris Adams

 

Last week, PCO scored an upset with a win over Adams. Tonight, Adams was looking to avenge that loss and had a distinct fury as he went after the Fighting French Canadian. Despite his best efforts, Adams was unable to land the Superkick and Ouellet pinned him with the PCOsault.

 

Jerry Lynn vs. Mike Awesome

 

Awesome continued his bullying ways as he towered over Lynn and beat him with the Awesome Bomb.

 

The Brigade (Barry Windham, Billy Gunn & The Thrillseekers) vs. Buddy Rose, Brian Lee & The Suicide Blondes

 

The Brigade have broken out of the doldrums at last, as their new recruits The Thrillseekers took out Spicolli as a Schoolboy Trip from Jericho set up a running cross body press from Storm.

 

Bret Hart & Iron & Steel (Tony Atlas & Larry Cameron) vs. Terry Gordy & The Oregon Wrecking Crew (Gary Albright & David Young)

 

Hart brought in some big guns to take on the Terror Collective. While Hart had some truly ferocious exchanges with Gordy, and in the end Atlas and Cameron were able to hold back Gordy and Cameron long enough for Hart to hit a diving clothesline on Young for the victory.

 

Shinya Hashimoto vs. Ted Dibiase

 

Dibiase seems to be taking the "Iron sharpens iron" approach to gear up to challenge for the Pacific Heavyweight Title. Facing no less than the former Pacific Television Champion, Dibiase hit hard and often, finally overcoming Hashimoto with the Clean Sweep (Cobra Clutch into a Russian Legsweep).

 

Pacific Heavyweight Title Match : Ricky Steamboat © vs. Steve Williams

 

Williams got another shot at the Pacific Heavyweight Title in this bruising battle. Williams punished Steamboat throughout the match, but the champ ultimately prevailed, countering an attempted lariat with a crucifix that just barely held Dr. Death's shoulders down for a three count.

Pacific Coast Wrestling show from McArthur Court, Eugene, March 16^th

 

2/3 Falls Pacific Trios Title Match : The Money Train (Jason Jett, David Cash & Chris Hamrick) © vs. The Hollywood Heartbreakers (Jimmy Del Ray, Big Vito Lograsso & Billy Black)

 

The Money Train came fast out of the blocks with the first fall being taken by Hamrick pinning Del Ray with the FrankenHamrick. The Heartbreakers came roaring back when Vito took out Cash with the Sicilian Smash (running forearm smash to the face). Jett scored the final fall with the Crash Landing (rolling release suplex) on Black to win the match.

 

Glamour Boy Shane vs. Jack Victory

 

The Dreamboats faced their hated rivals Coast 2 Coast in singles action for this match. Makhan Singh was at ringside for Victory in the match and clobbered Shane coming off the ropes, allowing Victory to hit the Victory-Plex and steal the win.

 

The Force Of July (The Patriot & The Eagle) vs. The Midnight Express

 

The FoJ evened the score from last week's match, with the Eagle hitting the Screaming Eagle (top rope missile dropkick) on Bobby Eaton for the victory.

 

Tommy Dreamer vs. John Tatum

 

The ref ordered Makhan Singh back to the locker room before he would start the match. With this element of outside interference removed from play, Dreamer went at it Fist And Fire with Tatum and executed a Piledriver to defeat "California" John.

 

Pacific Submission Title Match : Dean Malenko © vs. Steve Blackman

 

Blackman worked hard and almost caught Malenko in several armbreaker attempts, but close only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades, and while Malenko was never able to cinch in the Texas Cloverleaf, trapping Blackman in a Half Crab proved enough to do the trick.

 

Pacific Light Heavyweight Title Match : Dragon Azul © vs. Art Barr

 

Barr put in one of his strongest performances yet, taking the Light Heavyweight Champion to a thrilling 30 minute time limit draw.
