Pacific Wrestling Showcase from the Oakland Alameda County Arena, Oakland, on ESPN / TSN, July 18^th

 

Harlem Heat vs. Jimmy Johnson & Jimmy Tarrantino

 

Last week, the three singles wrestlers of the League Of Gentlemen made a pretty definitive demonstration of their considerable firepower. This week , it would be the League's tag team to show what they were capable of. Booker T and Stevie Ray rampaged over Johnson and Tarrantino in definitive style with power moves and clubbing blows. The two rookies didn't stand a chance, and the Heat put down Tarrantino with the Harlem Hangover. The League Of Gentlemen and becoming a truly scary unit.

 

The Sons Of The Beach (Cannonball Grizz & The Sandman) vs. Jimmy Del Ray & Billy Black

 

Last week, the SoBs had a bit of a setback with a loss over their hated rivals, the Suicide Blondes. They came roaring back with a vengeance this week against the Hollywood Heartbreakers. Jim Cornette and his men certainly pulled out their fair share of dirty tricks, but the Surfing Superstars prevailed, with Sandman taking out Del Ray with a Piledriver. You just can't keep the Sons from catching that wave.

 

Shane Douglas vs. Bobby Eaton

 

Another of Cornette's men would be in action against young Shane Douglas. Douglas has been a regular and enthusiastic presence in the PCW roster for some time now, but seems determined to break through to the next level. The considerable skill of Eaton was a lot to overcome, but Douglas was patient and caught him in the Belly To Belly Suplex for the win. Shane Douglas is definitely a star on the rise.

 

Jerry Lynn vs. The Lightning Kid

 

The Hexagon and the Citadel have been swapping wins back and forth all year, showing just how determined both side is to prove themselves. Lynn is coming off a big win last week over Rob Zakowski, and now would be facing Zakowski's partner, the Lightning Kid. This led to an incredibly fast paced match, and Lynn came close to getting another win, but a reverse diving cross body block by the Kid would score the pinfall. You can bet that the war between the two sides is going to get even hotter from here.

 

Steven Regal vs. Makhan Singh

 

Ever since his return to PCW, the Monster has kept his focus locked in on Regal, but the English Lion has refused to crumble. Despite the considerable size and power of Singh, Regal kept chipping away and him, wearing him down little by little. Regal was able to clothesline Singh over the top rope. He then hit a running diving kneedrop off the ring apron on Singh, and was able to beat the count back in to score a countout. Not the definitive win that Regal wanted, perhaps, but it was no mean feat to get one up on the big man.

Pacific Coast Wrestling show from the Cow Palace , San Francisco,  on Pacific Super Cards on ESPN / TSN, July 19^th

 

Bam Bam Bigelow vs. Mike Awesome

 

The latest battle in the war between these two behemoths was evenly match for the most part, until Bam Bam exploded in a flurry of headbutts that staggered awesome. He then came off the top with a flying headbutt that gave the match to the Beast From The East.

 

David Cash & Jason Jett vs. Chris Adams & Toshiaki Kawada

 

Adams has become perfectly in synch with his newest League Of Gentlemen colleague, as they showed with the merciless drubbing they gave the Money Train rookies. They polished off Cash with a double superkick, and seemed especially arrogant about it afterwards.

 

Bret Hart, Pierre Carl Ouellet & Sgt. Slaughter vs. Buddy Rose, Scotty The Body & Brian Lee

 

A feud has sprung up between PCO and Scotty, and even though the Fighting French Canadian was fighting off Brian Lee, it was a sneak attack from Scotty that set him up for the Prime Time Slam. A dirty win for the Playboy Club, and you know PCO is not going to stand for it.

 

Pacific Tag Team Title Match : The Miracle Violence Connection © vs. The Dreamboats (Tommy Dreamer & Glamour Boy Shane)

 

The former Golden State champs put in an heroic effort, but the MVC were too much to handle, with Gordy putting down dreamer with a big Power Bomb.

 

Pacific Television Title Match : Big Bully Busick © vs. Dean Malenko

 

Malenko gave Busick his toughest challenge yet, staying out of the way of his power offense and coming close to locking in his trademark submission holds. The Man From Powerhouse Hill was able to catch the second generation star with his devastating Spinebuster Slam to come out with his title, but it was a very close escape.

 

Pacific Heavyweight Title Match : Ted Dibiase © vs. Roddy Piper

 

Dibiase is normally all poise and confidence, but the unconventional style of Piper flustered the Man Of Means to no end. Hot Rod's taunting and confusing stood him well, and he was very close to locking in the Sleeper Hold. Unfortunately that was when Brian Lee decided to intervene, attacking Piper for the DQ. Dibiase figured good enough, and bailed from the ring while the two slugged it out. A pity, as the match was a hot one before the Bulldozer stuck his nose in Rowdy Roddy's business.

[rainmakerrtv]

Pacific Coast Wrestling show from the Selland Arena, Fresno, July 20^th

 

The Thrillseekers vs. Coast 2 Coast (John Tatum & Jack Victory)

 

Last week, Tatum and Victory got a win over the Thrillseekers, but clearly wanted to get some more shots in on the younger team. Their overconfidence would cost them, as a running cross body from Jericho assisted by a schoolboy trip from Storm gave the exciting young duo the pinfall over Victory.

 

Chris Hamrick vs. Big Vito Lograsso

 

Hamrick's run of strong showings continued in his match with the Italian Stallion, knocking Vito down with an arched big boot before defeating him with the Confederate Crunch.

 

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

 

Jim Cornette's woes continued as, despite an intense effort from the Midnights , the Patriotic Pair took down Sweet Stan with a double flying clothesline and emerged triumphant.

 

Dan Severn vs. Gary Albright

 

Severn had faced Albright in a feud some years ago and came out on top. The Beast seemed caught off guard by Albright's progress since then , and the Animal's confidence from being Golden State Tag champ and a member of the Terror Collective clearly bolstered his aggression. Severn was just barely able to hold off Albright for a 20 minute time limit draw.

 

The Thunder Dragons (Jushin Liger & Dragon Azul) vs. Art Barr & Eddie Guerrero

 

The feud between these two duos has led to some spectacular matches, and this one was no different. It ended with Dragon pinning Barr after a flying victory roll, a major victory over the Light Heavyweight champ.

 

California Title Match : Dennis Condrey © vs. Al Snow

 

Cornette was determined to get his men at least one victory, and he tripped Snow attempting a springboard clothesline. This set him up for a Full Nelson Facebuster which put an end to his challenge. Snow had been doing quite well up to that point, and certainly deserves another chance at Loverboy Dennis' belt.

[rainmakerrtv]

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

[kevinmcfl]

Enjoying the build of Shane Douglas.  He has been around a while and now finding his grove.  Eaton would be a great guy to put anybody over.  Nice booking.

Busick retains over a game Malenko

Lee spoils a hot title bout. One thing's for sure, Dibiase has a long list of big name contenders to work with. 

Fresno

Coast to Coast's arrogance costs them 

The Italian Stallion has become a force, so that's a big win for Hamrick 

The FOJ get the better of their former rivals

Condrey's win gives something for Cornette to smile about this weekend 

There's definitely a storm coming to Utah!

Pacific Coast Wrestling Deseret Storm from the Salt Palace, Salt Lake City

 

Squadron Battle : The Sons Of The Beach (Cannonball Grizz & The Sandman) , Roddy Piper, Bret Hart & Pierre Carl Ouellet vs. Buddy Rose, Brian Lee, Scotty The Body & The Suicide Blondes (Chris Candido & Louie Spicolli)

 

The Playboy Club have never had a shortage of enemies, and Deseret Storm got off to a roaring start with an assortment of their most high profile foes lining up to take a shot at them. The SoBs and the Blondes were quick to go after each other, and they tore into each other for much of the match. Sandman was able to eliminate Candido with a swinging neckbreaker, and a running cross body from Grizz was too much for Spicolli to overcome. That removed the Suicide Blondes from the equation. PCO was determined to go after Scotty The Body, but Scotty kept tagging in Brian Lee to do his dirty work. Ouellet was still game and fought hard with the Bulldozer, but when attempting a package piledriver on the big man, Scotty snuck in the ring and laid him low with a low blow from behind. Lee then hit the Prime Time Slam to eliminate the Fighting French Canadian. The Body and the Playboy to let Lee do much of the heavy lifting, particularly as he wore down Bret Hart, but Scotty tagged in to get the elimination himself. Bret was playing possum , and countered an attempted Body Shot (DDT) with a small package that got the one two three. Lee kept battling, but the odds were against him. Hart dropkicked him into a belly to back suplex by Piper, and it was all down to Buddy Rose. The Playboy looked across the ring and saw 4 men against his one and decided it wasn't worth it, running back to the locker room with Tina Ferrari and taking the countout loss.

 

Survivors : The Sons Of The Beach (Cannonball Grizz & The Sandman), Roddy Piper & Bret Hart

 

Squadron Battle : Steven Regal, Sgt. Slaughter & The Thrillseekers vs. Coast 2 Coast (John Tatum & Jack Victory), Makhan Singh & Fit Finlay

 

A bit of a feud has sprung up between the Thrillseekers and Coast 2 Coast, and that formed the backbone of this matchup. The first throwdown was between Sarge and Finlay, with two of the toughest men in PCW throwing big haymakers at each other. Finlay was pounding on Slaughter in the corner, but the double tough DI came roaring out of the blocks with the Slaughter Cannon, then followed up with a second rope kneedrop for the pinfall. Much of the next section was a tag duel between the Thrillseekers and Coast 2 Coast, but Tatum and Victory got Singh to tip the balance, with an attempted cross body by Storm ending up in a Monster Mash (front slam) by Singh to eliminate the young Canadian. Jericho did his bet, but kept being double teamed by Tatum and Victory, and a California Kick put Jericho down for the count. Coast 2 Coast were now up in numbers but not for long . The Monster couldn't stay away from Regal and kept going after him. Regal fired back with a series of vicious forearm smashes, knocking Singh out of the ring. When Singh tried to crawl back in, Regal nailed him with a Knee Trembler to the side of the head to knock him back out, and the Monster was unable to make the count. It was now a battle of the experience of Slaughter and the technical skill of Regal against the tag team coordination of Tatum and Victory. They battled it out for quite some time until Slaughter trapped Victory in the Cobra Clutch , forcing him to tap out. Regal was then able to pin Tatum with the Regal Plex , and he and Slaughter stood tall in victory.

 

Survivors : Steven Regal & Sgt. Slaughter

 

Squadron Battle : Jushin Liger, Dragon Azul, Stormwatch (Al Snow & Jerry Lynn) , Too Cold Scorpio & Big Bully Busick vs. Art Barr, Eddie Guerrero, Dean Malenko, Rob Zakowski, The Lightning Kid & Sabu

 

The next match had members of Citadel joining forces with Too Cold Scorpio and the Thunder Dragons to face the Hexagon. The Sinister Minister's men have had their ups and downs but are always a threat, and drew first blood when a slingshot Legdrop from Sabu eliminated Jerry Lynn. Al Snow avenged his partner with a Snow Bomb on Lightning Kid, and the Citadel's side got one up in the numbers when Busick put down Sabu with his always devastating Spinebuster Slam. The advantage did not last long and ended in shocking fashion. After a bruising exchange of shots, Busick attempted a standing armbar on Malenko, only for Dean to counter it with a backslide. He held the TV champs shoulders to the mat for a three count to send him out of the match. The Hexagon went back into the lead by way of a Frog Splash by Barr on Scorpio, but not long after that, Liger caught the Light Heavyweight Champ with a running palm thrust to the jaw, ending the night for Barr. Snow was the next one out, by way of a Split Legged Moonsault by Zakowski, and a Tornado DDT from Guerrero took out Dragon Azul. It was now Jushin Liger against three men. The masked man held out for as long as possible, but a Brainbuster from Malenko finally put him down, leaving the Hexagon standing triumphant.

 

Survivors : Dean Malenko, Eddie Guerrero & Rob Zakowski

 

Squadron Battle : Bam Bam Bigelow, Barry Windham, Shinya Hashimoto & The Dreamboats (Tommy Dreamer & Glamour Boy Shane) vs. Chris Adams, Toshiaki Kawada, Mike Awesome & Harlem Heat

 

Another faction that has been coming on strong lately would be Chris Adams' League Of Gentlemen. Rising from the ashes of the Diamond Exchange, the League have been getting impressive victories over top talent, and would be facing a team of several former champions. The League were the first on the board with Harlem Heat eliminating Shane with the Harlem Hangover . Windham balanced the books by beating Stevie Ray with the Western Lariat, and Bam Bam removed Harlem Heat from the equation with a Slingshot Splash on Booker T. Awesome then made his impact, pinning Dreamer with the Awesome Bomb. A Superkick from Adams eliminated Hashimoto. It was three on two, but Bigelow and Windham proved to be a tough nut to crack, with the pair tagging in and out and knocking the League about the ring. It was then that Awesome made the sacrifice play. He torpedoed Bigelow with a crushing spear, sending them both out of the ring. He kept slugging it out with Bam Bam, not even bothering to try to get back in the ring, and both men were counted out. Adams and Kawada ganged up on Windham, lacing into him with vicious kicks, but the 2 time former Pacific Champ rallied. He nearly nailed Adams with a lariat, but Adams ducked at the last seconds, and when he came back of the ropes, Kawada ambushed him with a spin kick to the back of the head. Windham staggered right into a Superkick from Adams that struck him flush on the jaw, and that was that.

 

Survivors : Chris Adams & Toshiaki Kawada

 

Squadron Battle : Shane Douglas, Steve Blackman, Dan Severn & The Money Train (David Cash, Jason Jett & Chris Hamrick) vs. The Midnight Express, Dennis Condrey & The Hollywood Heartbreakers (Big Vito Lograsso, Billy Black & Jimmy Del Ray)

 

Jim Cornette came out with a bit of a bug in his bonnet, and given his crew's recent frustrations, it was certainly understandable. Camp Cornette came out hot, with Big Vito taking out Cash with the Sicilian Smash (running forearm smash to the face). Jett was the next to go, by way of a Rocket Launcher from the Midnight Express. While Cornette's men got pretty arrogant at this point, their opposition struck back when Blackman forced Black to tap out by way of the Cross Armbreaker. Vito was very keen to avenge his loss last week and relentlessly went after Chris Hamrick, but his aggression caught up with him when the Redneck Casanova caught him coming off the ropes with a Franken-Hamrick to send him out of the mat. Hamrick didn't have long to celebrate his win, as Condrey immediately nailed him with the Inverted DDT for the next elimination. Severn evened things up with a bridging back suplex on Del Ray, but no sooner had the ref's hand come down for the count of three than Eaton came off the top with the Alabama Jam and took out the Beast. A double goozle from the Midnights on Blackman made it three to One. The Midnights were relentless in tormenting Douglas, but he fought back hard. Condrey made the mistake of walking right into a belly to belly suplex, and Douglas had taken out the California Champ. Douglas put in a valiant effort, but the Midnight Express finally put an end to his heroic run with the Veg-O-Matic.  Cornette came out on top, and was just as insufferable as you could imagine.

 

Survivors : The Midnight Express

 

Squadron Battle : Rick Martel, Iron & Steel (Tony Atlas & Larry Cameron), & The Force Of July (The Patriot & The Eagle) vs. Ted Dibiase, Steve Williams, Terry Gordy & The Oregon Wrecking Crew (Gary Albright & David Young)

 

The evening closed off with the Terror Collective squaring off against a murderer's row of top contenders. The Force Of July struck first against their rivals with a flying double shoulder tackle on Young. Albright came raging back, eliminating the Eagle with a huge German Suplex. In an intense power duel, Willams Oklahoma Stampeded the Patriot out of the match. Iron & Steel showed their effectiveness with Cameron sending out Albright by way of the the Harlem Hammer (running double axe handle to the back of the head) . Things got down to the Nitty Gritty with the 6 remaining men battling it out with no eliminations for a long while. Just like that, it went down to one on one as the MVC and Iron & Steel got into an out of control brawl until the ref finally had no choice but to Disqualify both teams. It was now Dibiase vs. Martel, the Pacific champ against the top contender. It was a long technical duel between the two, which Dibiase tried to subvert with his dreaded black glove, only for Martel to kick it out of his hand. Martel went up top and feinted at a Diving Cross Body Press, but when Dibiase ducked, Martel shifted into a top rope Sunset Flip. One … two … THREE !!!!! Martel had beaten the Pacific Heavyweight Champion! Dibiase will have no choice but to give him a rematch now!

 

Survivor : Rick Martel

[Autistic Dragon]

The Club takes the easy way out. No surprise there.

Regal & Sarge show solid teamwork.

The Hexagon vanquish the infidels.

Adams & Kawada bring victory to the League.

Beautiful Bobby & Sweet Stan prove their the aces of Camp Cornette.

Martel ends the night as the last man standing.

[kevinmcfl]

This is the perfect format for your territory.  You do such a good job of having these faction feuds that this Squadron Battle is perfect!

[LowBlowPodcast]

Desert Storm at the Salt Palace was a wild ride! The opening Squadron Battle was pure chaos, with the Sons of the Beach and Bret Hart outlasting the Playboy Club after Buddy Rose bailed like a coward. Regal and Slaughter’s teamwork took down Coast 2 Coast in a gritty fight, with that Cobra Clutch on Victory being a highlight. The Hexagon’s win over Liger’s squad was intense, with Malenko’s Brainbuster sealing it. Bigelow and Windham put up a hell of a fight, but Adams and Kawada’s kicks were too much. Cornette’s Midnight Express ran through Douglas’ team like a steamroller, and that Veg-O-Matic finish was brutal. Martel stealing the win over Dibiase with that slick Sunset Flip was awesome!

[spaldoni]

I agree with Kev, this is the perfect event for your promotion. 

Loved the finish to the first match with Rose just looking across at 4 men and bailing. 

Regal and Slaughter get to showcase their finishers as they stand strong at the end. 

Liger put in a valiant effort but I think the Hexagon needed this big win. 

Awesome way to wrap things up as Adams and Kawada work in sync to take Windham out. 

Just when you think Cornette is down and out, his Midnights pull out the big win and give him reason to celebrate. 

Huge way to end the show with a barnburner of a match. Martel sends the fans home happy and guarantees himself a rematch for the title. 

Great job! Exciting show

Pacific Wrestling Showcase from the Victoria Memorial Arena, Victoria, on ESPN / TSN, August 1^st

 

Chris Hamrick vs. Tyrone Davis

 

Chris Hamrick is less than a year into his career, but has developed something of a cult following among the fans. The scrappy Southerner has always given his best and even pulled out some underdog wins, and showed his colourful personality and fun moves in this showcase against Davis. Hamrick put Davis away with the Franken-Hamrick, to the great cheers of the fans. He may be young, but Confederate Currency definitely has a place in the hearts of the PCW fandom.

 

Tommy Dreamer vs. Toshiaki Kawada

 

Toshiaki Kawada has always been a tough competitor, but lately he has gotten sadistic to the point of scary. Tommy Dreamer was the latest to get in the path of the Japanese Nightmare. The former Golden State tag champ put up a struggle but was chewed up by the sheer viciousness of Kawada's offense. He could not escape the Kawada Crab, and Kawada was once again triumphant. The latest member of the League Of Gentlemen is certainly proving to be the man to beat.

 

Shane Douglas vs. Jimmy Del Ray

 

Although he ended up going down to the Midnight Express at Deseret Storm, Shane Douglas pulled off something of a coup in the same match by pinning California champ Dennis Condrey. Jim Cornette is clearly determined to nip this challenge in the bud, sending out Gigolo Jimmy to sanction the up and comer. Del Ray fought a dirty game, but Douglas was able to fight his way through it, pinning him after the Belly To Belly Suplex. Sooner of later, Condrey will have to face off with Douglas.

 

Golden State Tag Team Title Match : The Oregon Wrecking Crew (Gary Albright & David Young) © vs. Stormfront (Al Snow & Jerry Lynn)

 

Speaking of up and comers, the OWC are a fairly young team, but have clearly proved themselves worthy of their spot in the Terror Collective by fiercely defending the Golden State Tag Titles against all comers. That said, Stormfront are former champs themselves and were out to show that they were not a team to overlook. They put a real scare into the champs, and while Albright was able to put down Snow with a German Suplex, they got a real scare from the Citadel duo. Yes, the OWC have proved themselves, but they are going to need to keep on proving themselves to maintain their grip on the titles.

 

Barry Windham & The Thrillseekers vs. Chris Adams & Harlem Heat

 

At Deseret Storm, Barry Windham went down to the Superkick of Chris Adams. The big Texan was not going to let that go unanswered, and brought in his Brigade partners to take another shot at Adams and the League Of Gentlemen. Adams and Heat landed some hard shots against Jericho and Storm, but the Canadians kept bouncing back, and when they got their leader in, Windham started collecting some dues. The two time former Pacific champ landed some heavy blows, and was able to dodge the Superkick before leveling Stevie Ray with a Western Lariat for the victory. A big win, but you just know that Windham is going to want to get his hands on Adams again.

[rainmakerrtv]

Pacific Coast Wrestling show from the Pacific Coliseum, Vancouver on Pacific Super Cards on ESPN / TSN , August 2^nd

 

The Sons Of The Beach (The Sandman & Cannonball Grizz) vs. Big Vito Lograsso & Billy Black

 

The SoBs are coming off a great showing at Deseret Storm and rode that wave right into this match, topping the Hollywood Heartbreakers  duo when Sandman hit a swinging neckbreaker on Black.

 

The Thrillseekers vs. The Midnight Express

 

Jericho and Storm were carrying some of the damage at the hands of the League Of Gentlemen into this match. You never want to give the Midnight Express any kind of advantage, and Cornette's men capitalized with the Veg-O-Matic on Jericho.

 

Pierre Carl Ouellet vs. Scotty The Body

 

These two continued their feud with PCO coming out on top with the Cannonball, to the great pleasure of the Canadian fans.

 

Roddy Piper & Bam Bam Bigelow vs. Mike Awesome & Brian Lee

 

The monsters of the League Of Gentlemen and the Playboy Club joined up to take on two big fan favorites, and the result was chaos, with the ref ultimately declaring a No Contest while all four men brawled in the ring.

 

Pacific Television Title Match : Big Bully Busick © vs. Rob Zakowski

 

Zakowski, the young firebrand of the Hexagon, impressed many in this match with his big moves and intensity, but Busick stayed the course and put an end to his challenge with the Spinebuster Slam.

 

Rick Martel & Bret Hart vs. Ted Dibiase & Buddy Rose

 

The evening closed out with the leaders of two of the main factions in PCW facing off against two Canadian favorites. The huge egos of Dibiase and Rose worked surprisingly well together, doing and incredible job of holding the line against the Canadian duo. In the end, Martel and Hart proved to be the superior team, with Martel dropkicking Dibiase into a Crucifix by Hart, giving the Hitman a win over the Pacific Champ.

[rainmakerrtv]

Pacific Coast Wrestling show from the Kelowna Memorial Arena, Kelowna, August 3^rd

 

The Force Of July (The Patriot & The Eagle) vs. Coast 2 Coast (John Tatum & Jack Victory)

 

The patriotic duo came out on top over the former champs, with the Patriot hitting the Uncle Slam on Tatum.

 

David Cash vs. Toshiaki Kawada

 

Kawada continued his rampage, taking out Cash with a sheer fall brainbuster.

 

Dan Severn vs. Jimmy Del Ray

 

The Beast showed his considerable technical expertise as he defeated the Gigolo with a backdrop suplex.

 

Jason Jett vs. Sabu

 

Young Jett put in a feisty effort against Sabu, but the Bombay Madman was too much to overcome, hitting a slingshot legdrop for the win.

 

Jushin Liger vs. The Lightning Kid

 

Liger came back hard after Deseret Storm, taking down the Kid with a running palm thrust to the jaw.

 

California Title Match : Dennis Condrey © vs. Shinya Hashimoto

 

Condrey faced his toughest challenger yet in the person of the former TV champ. Hashimoto really took it to the champ, and Condrey had to dig into his resourcefulness to go to a 20 minute time limit draw. The Loverboy may still be the champ, but he just barely survived this match.

[Autistic Dragon]

Victoria.

Hamrick gets some shine.

Kawada and Douglas both with solid wins.

The Golden State tag titles aren't going anywhere.

[rainmakerrtv]

Pacific Wrestling Showcase from the Portland Sports Arena, Portland , on ESPN / TSN, August 8^th

 

Stormfront (Al Snow & Jerry Lynn) vs. Jimmy Del Ray & Billy Black

 

After some time in the middle of the pack in the PCW Tag Team decision, Stormfront have been putting in some impressive efforts to show they were a storm to be reckoned with. Despite Jim Cornette’s men’s attempts to take the low road, Stormfront prevailed with Lynn taking Del Ray down with a package piledriver. The competing tag teams had best not overlook the Citadel duo.

 

Sgt. Slaughter vs. Mark Caruso

 

The American Hero got a huge response from the Portland fans, as well he should. The double tough Marine DI is a legend in the ring, and he proceeded to run roughshod over Caruso. It didn’t take long for Slaughter to dispatch Caruso, forcing him to tap out to the Slaughter Cannon. The fans can’t wait to see who would be the next rival for Slaughter to go to war with.

 

Roddy Piper & Pierre Carl Ouellet vs. Buddy Rose & Scotty The Body

 

Both Piper and PCO have been having their own war with the Playboy Club. The two sides had a fierce battle, but it was only a matter of time before Brian Lee stuck his nose in. The Bulldozer yanked Piper off the ring apron, and while the two slugged it out at ringside, the rest of the Playboy Club double teamed Ouellet until Scotty took him out with the Body Shot (DDT) . The Club continued to use their numbers after the match to beat down Piper and Ouellet until Bret Hart came out swinging a metal chair to run them off.

 

Bret Hart vs. The Lightning Kid

 

Bret didn’t have much time to catch his breath, as he would be in the very next match, facing a young up and comer. The Lightning Kid may be young, but he certainly proved to be quite a handful for the Hitman. Bret had to work hard to overcome the Kid’s speed and high flying moves, but was ultimately able to put a stop to him with the Sharpshooter. After the match, Hart offered a handshake of respect, which the Kid begrudgingly accepted.

 

Chris Jericho vs. Chris Adams

 

Adams has been gunning hard for Barry Windham, but would have to settle for his Brigade comrade Chris Jericho. Jericho put in an enthusiastic effort to which Adams responded with sheer brutality. Adams seemed to particularly relish nailing Jericho with a Superkick to the head. Adams has certainly made his mark in reestablishing the group he renamed the League Of Gentlemen.

Pacific Tag Team Title Match : The Miracle Violence Combination © vs. The Sons Of The Beach (Cannonball Grizz & The Sandman)

 

The Surfing Superstars have risen rapidly in the Pacific Tag Team ranks, and quickly earned a shot at the champs. They certainly gave it their all, keeping the MVC off balance for a fair stretch of the match, but the sheer power of the Champions proved too much to overcome. Steve Williams pinned Grizz following an incredible Oklahoma Stampede. A disappointing result, but the SoBs certainly acquitted themselves well in their first shot at the big belts.

Pacific Heavyweight Title Match : Ted Dibiase © vs. Barry Windham

 

Windham put in an incredible effort to regain the title he had held twice before. It looked like he might just pull it off when he clipped Dibiase with a lariat that knocked him out of the ring. While the ref made the count, Chris Adams snuck into the ring and blindsided Windham with a Superkick . When Dibiase made it back into ring , he found Windham laid out, and smugly got the cover. Once again, Dibiase sneaks away with his title intact.
