Really enjoyed catching up with PCW.  Sorry for falling behind.  It seems that some of your big factions, The Citadel and The Terror Collective are having some pretty big internal issues.  I love both of these angles as it gives you so many options with huge names.  Great booking.

Also, I am really enjoying how you are using Regal.  He could really work.

I wouldn't want to meet Iron and Steel in any type of match... scary tough

PCO sure has lit a fire under the Money Train

Sarge is pumped up for Tenryu 

Hmmmm, if I were Dibiase, I wouldn't piss off Gordy 

The Playboy is having a resurgence 

Bigelow wins but the Italian Stallion will be a future threat in PCW 

How long before Adams loses control over Kawada

Just like Rose, the Midnights are on the rise again

I'll be watching Finlay. Somethings up 

Windham and Adams will go at it again

I think Eddie's going to want a LHW title shot soon. 

Harlem Heat loses it and it costs them 

Condrey has really elevated the CA title 

Can't wait for Calgary Combat. I'm excited for the annual battle royal 

[rainmakerrtv]

Pacific Coast Wrestling Calgary Combat from the Saddledome, Calgary

 

Battle Royal for a shot at the Pacific Heavyweight Title at San Diego Battle Ground, featuring : Barry Windham, Pierre Carl Ouellet, Steve Blackman, Bret Hart, Sgt. Slaughter, Shane Douglas, Shinya Hashimoto, Rick Martel, Roddy Piper , Steven Regal, Steve Williams, Terry Gordy, Genichiro Tenryu, Chris Adams, Big Vito Lograsso, Buddy Rose, Brian Lee, Scotty The Body, Dean Malenko & Makhan Singh

 

It's time for Calgary Combat and, as usual, all eyes are on the big Battle Royal that kicks it off. Ted Dibiase has made many enemies in his reign as Pacific Heavyweight Champion, so there are plenty of people hungry for a shot at him and his title. Usually in a Battle Royal like this, there are at least a few wrestlers so focused on fighting each other that they end up eliminating themselves. This time out , it was Sgt. Slaughter and Genichiro Tenryu, who brawled so fiercely that they went right over the top to the floor. Dibiase, who has had some epic battles with Sarge, was probably breathing a bit of a sigh of relief. Makhan Singh went on a bit of an early tear, tossing out his old enemy Steven Regal, along with Steve Blackman and Dean Malenko. The other wrestlers saw this and ganged up on him, with Barry Windham , Terry Gordy, Steve Williams , Bret Hart and PCO calling a temporary truce to gang up on him and shove him over the top. After that, it was back to business as usual and they went back to fighting each other. The Playboy Club worked together to use their numbers and put Roddy Piper out of the match. But they took too long on congratulating each other, with Barry Windham surprising Brian Lee with a lariat that spelled the end of the Bulldozer's evening. Rose and Scotty bounced back to take out Hashimoto, but a double dropkick from Shane Douglas and Rick Martel eliminated Scotty. This left Buddy Rose as the last member of the Playboy Club, but he used his trickery and determination to keep himself in for quite a while and thwart multiple attempts to take him out. Big Vito impressed many, coming off a strong going deep into the match and hitting the Sicilian Smash (running forearm smash to the face) on Pierre Carl Ouellet to send out the popular French Canadian. His luck ran out when he tangled with Bret Hart , who was able to use his skill and leverage to toss out the Italian Stallion. It was now down to 8 men : Windham, Hart, Martel, Douglas, Williams, Gordy, Adams and Rose. The MVC struck first, tossing Shane Douglas and putting an end to the Pittsburgh native's solid run in the match. Bret and Martel immediately retaliated by double clotheslining Buddy Rose to the outside. Barry Windham tangled with both Williams and Gordy, which left him vulnerable to an ambush from behind. Adams hit a Superkick to the back of Windhams head that sent the big Texan flying out of the match. Adams agreed with the MVC to work together against Hart and Martel, but the two Canadians worked just as well as a team to dodge and out maneuver the opposition. The numbers caught up with Martel as Gordy and Williams overpowered him , tossing him from the ring with a  double body slam. At the other end of the ring, Adams had Bret lined up for a Superkick. The Hitman dodged the kick, and Adams was caught with his angle twisted between the ropes. Hart shoved him over the top, and with Adams dangling by his ankle from the ropes, Bret hit a sliding dropkick to finally put him out. He got back up, turned around, and was faced with Gordy and Williams, both with angry looks on their faces. The MVC had been tasked by Ted Dibiase with getting rid of the top contenders, and they were right on the precipice of completing their task. Bret did that he could , but the force of the opposition was considerable. Williams was ready to send Hart out with a mighty clothesline, but Bret ducked at the last second, back body dropping Dr. Death to the outside. It was now down to Hart vs. Gordy, and while the two had had some titanic battles with each other in the past, never before had the stakes been so high. The two brawled with everything they had in them, until Bret came off the topes and staggered Gordy with a dropkick to the midsection . He then took down Gordy with a running Bulldog Headlock, then dragged the Terror Collective member to his feet and tossed him out of the ring. He had done it. At the top of the year, the Calgary native sworn that he would be Pacific Heavyweight champion by the end of the year. Now, in front of a delirious hometown crowd, he had eliminated 4 men and outlasted the opposition to earn a shot at the title. Only one step left : San Diego Battleground and the match with Ted Dibiase.

 

Dragon Azul vs. The Lightning Kid

 

After a brief break, the action returned with a big light Heavyweight match. Dragon was a former Light Heavyweight champ, and the Kid was a standout of the 1990 rookie class. The two put on a highly competitive match, and the Kid continued his roll by pinning Dragon with a Moonsault Press.

 

Jason Jett & David Cash vs. Jimmy Del Ray & Billy Black

 

PCO took advantage of the break to grab a quick shower, so he was refreshed and ready to be out to give guidance to his men, Jett and Cash. He continued to educate and inspire the members of the Money Train, and it was Cash who got the win, pinning Black following the Money Maker.

 

Stormfront (Al Snow & Jerry Lynn) vs. Sabu & Eddie Guerrero

 

Stormfront have been getting a lot of attention lately, but perhaps for not the best reasons. They have shown an increased tendency to cut corners in their matches. They were facing a fierce duo from the Hexagon, so they were in for a real fight. Things kept consistently even until Lynn took advantage of a ref distraction by going outside and sliding a metal folding chair into the ring. Unusually, he did not slide it towards Snow but towards Sabu. By sheer instinct , Sabu picked up the chair, and Snow immediately dropped to the mat, covering his head. Lynn dashed into the ring and cradled his "fallen" team mate, loudly lamenting. The ref turned around, immediately assuming that Sabu had used the chair on Snow, and disqualified the Hexagon. Sabu started jumping up and down, but Guerrero was subtly smirking, perhaps admiring the audacity of Stormfront. Snow and Lynn dashed out of their ring, laughing all the way at their ill gotten victory.

 

The Thrillseekers vs. The Midnight Express

 

The Thrillseekers have had something of an up and down year, but have never lost their boisterous good spirits or competitive approach. They would be facing the most elite team in all of PCW, the Midnight Express , who seemed more than a little dismissive of the young Canadians. Big mistake, as Jericho and Storm came ready to fight. The two teams went all out, with the Thrillseekers finding their way out of the traps of the Midnights, and Lane and Eaton just barely withstanding the daring offense of Storm and Jericho. The two sides were still going at it when the bell rang, signaling a 20 minute time limit draw, but there seemed to be a bit of grudging respect from the Midnights to the Canadian team as they left. They may not have gotten a victory, this was a true coming out party for the Thrillseekers. FERDA!

 

Tournament Of Lions Finals : Chris Hamrick vs. Rob Zakowski

 

After two months of matches, the final match of the 1990 Tournament Of Lions had at last arrived. In a bit of a first, both of the finalists this year were rookies, showing just how impressive this year's rookie class has been. Hamrick had PCO and the rest of the Money Train in his corner, while Zakowski was accompanied by the Sinister Minister and the Hexagon, but both sides kept to themselves and let their comrades get on with it. Hamrick and Zakowski put it all out there, living up to the fans expectations of this match. They kept escalating throughout the match, going for more daring moves to come out on top. The finish finally came when Hamrick charged in on Zakowski in the corner, only to be knocked sparko by a spin kick from the Hexagon member. Zakowski followed up with a split legged moonsault and got the one two three. An incredible victory, marking Zakowski as the valedictorian of PCW's impressive 1990 rookie class.

 

Golden State Tag Team Title Match : The Force Of July (The Patriot & The Eagle) © vs. Coast 2 Coast (John Tatum & Jack Victory)

 

The Force Of July have had a great 1990 themselves, returning to the West Coast to win the Golden State Tag Team Titles and regain their place in the hearts of the PCW fans. They were defending their belts against former champions Tatum and Victory, who certainly made the masked fan favorites work for everything. Coast 2 Coast were certainly up to their usual skullduggery, but the FoJ rallied and ultimately prevailed, with the Patriot pinning Tatum following the Uncle Slam.

 

Pacific Heavyweight Title Match : Ted Dibiase © vs. Dan Severn

 

The evening closed out with Ted Dibiase defending against one of his most persistent challengers. The Beast has been closing in on the champ, with victories in multi man matches, but now it would be one on one with the title on the line. Dibiase is , despite his nefarious tactics, acknowledged to be a high level technical wrestler, but was facing someone with truly staggering credentials as a scientific wrestler. Dibiase was on the defensive for much of the match, having to scramble to get to the ropes and escape Severn's many submission attempts. It was a long and ferocious war, with Severn constantly closing in on Dibiase only for the champ to keep wriggling free. Severn finally got Dibiase trapped in the corner and started raining down punches on him.  The ref got in between the two, which gave Dibiase a chance to pull out his infamous loaded glove. When Severn came back in on him, Dibiase clocked him with a loaded uppercut to the jaw. He fell on top of Severn with his feet on the ropes, stealing the win. A dirty victory , but a victory nonetheless. Will this work against a very hungry Bret Hart? We will find out in San Diego.

 

[ErictheDragon]

Hart lights up the hometown crowd with the opening win.

LK speeds things up and takes down the Dragon.

PCO rebound to guide the Money Trian to victory.

Eddie approves of Stormfront's tricks. I doubt Severn will though.

The Midnight's face some Thrilling competition.

Robbie Z is the Lion of PCW.

The Force fend off the former champs.

Dibiase doubles up on the cheating to retain the Pacific gold.

[ErictheDragon]

It's so cool how you're able to announce two completely filled out cards over a month in advance. 

My excitement went through the roof when I saw we're finally getting the MVC vs Iron & Steel.

[spaldoni]

You remind me of Roy Shire because you always know how to pump up your annual battle royal. Outstanding write up. Damn, Bret Hart earned this one! No doubt about it, he's ready for his shot at Dibiase. 

Lightning Kid is really coming on strong and has become a serious LHW contender 

PCO's guidance has lit a fire under the Money Train 

Ahhhh the classic fake chair shot behind the Ref's back. I've used this one also LOL. I did laugh at Eddie's response. Creative way to plant seeds. 

Props to the Thrillseekers. The Midnights have been on a roll and the Seekers took them to the limit. 

After another exciting Tournament of Lions, Rob Z wins this year's crown. Rob Z's stock just went way up. 

The FOJ have always been one of my favorites in the game. Great seeing them retain at a big event 

I liked this Dibiase/Severn program. Severn emerged as a huge threat and rattled Dibiase. The man of means finally puts an end to things and once again walks out with the title. 

Wow, I can't believe the San Diego card is already here. I know we're in for some epic blow offs. 

[rainmakerrtv]

Pacific Wrestling Showcase from the Victoria Memorial Arena, Victoria, on ESPN / TSN, Ocbtober 31^st

 

Stormfront (Al Snow & Jerry Lynn) vs. The Suicide Blondes

 

Lately , Stormfront have been pulling hard against the reins of Dan Severn and the philosophies of the Citadel. They have shown a consistent proclivity towards underhanded tactics, and this has not made the Beast happy. Snow and Lynn show no sign of caring, and were carefree in their battle with the equally unscrupulous Blondes. Although both teams cut corners, it seemed like the Blondes that took the brunt of the heat from the ref, and it was Lynn to capitalized on the chaos by pinning Spicolli following a package piledriver. Stormfront were laughing as they left the ring, but one can imagine that Dan Severn would be greatly displeased.

 

The Lightning Kid vs. Brice Johnston

 

The Lightning Kid is coming off a huge victory at Calgary Combat over former Light Heavyweight champ Dragon Azul . He has been absolutely on fire of late, and used this match to show off his skills and big moves, finally putting an end to it with a diving legdrop on Johnston. Kid has had a standout rookie year, and looks to take things to the next level in 1991.

 

David Cash vs. Fit Finlay

 

Of late, Pierre Carl Ouellet has taken the members of the Money Train under his wing , and he was there at ringside along with Jason Jett and Chris Hamrick. This seemed to especially get under Finlay's skin, and he proceeded to take this out on Cash. Cash had learned his lessons under PCO and accredited himself well, but his nerves got the better of him and he botched an attempted leapfrog by partly landing on the back of Finlay's head. This lit a blaze under Finlay, and once he recovered he really tore into Cash. Nothing the Money Train member did could slow this onslaught, and the Fighting Irishman seemed hell bent on teaching him a lesson he would not soon forget. Finlay even gave a direct look to Ouellet as he pointed at the head of the prone cash before dropping a hard knee onto his face. He then tied him in the Celtic Knot until Cash screamed out his surrender. Even that was not enough for Finlay, who refused to release the hold until Ouellet charged in and tackled him. He looked for a moment like he was about to continue to brawl with the Belfast Bruiser, but thought better of it and tended to Cash while Hamrick and Jett formed a protective wall. Finlay was bristling with rage as he left the ring. It looks like the Money Train have acquired a nemesis as quickly as they have acquired a mentor.

 

Shane Douglas vs. Billy Black

 

Douglas comes in buoyed by the announcement that he will be getting his rematch with Dennis Condrey for the California Title. Shane was all enthusiasm as he took on the Redneck Casanova, and though Jim Cornette was pushing Black to do more damage, Douglas could not be stopped. He pinned Black following the Belly To Belly Suplex, and the crowd loudly cheered. Douglas is riding the road to glory, but a fearsome opponent lies at the end of it in Condrey.

 

Bret Hart vs. David Young

 

Hart is another competitor with a big title shot ahead of him, having won the Battle Royal at Calgary Combat to face Ted Dibiase at San Diego Battleground for the Pacific Heavyweight Title. Young was representing the Terror Collective, and it would be easy to believe that he had been given orders to soften up Hart. Young seemed more self interested, taking it to Hart to prove himself as a viable singles competitor. Young certainly took the fight to the Hitman, avoiding all attempts to trap him in the Sharpshooter and  landing his fair share of shots. Bret bided his time and outlasted the OWC member, taking him down with a running bulldog headlock and wrapping him up in a double leg cradle for the win. A tough test, but Hart remains focused on his goal.

 

[rainmakerrtv]

Pacific Coast Wrestling show from the Pacific Coliseum, Vancouver on Pacific Super Cards on ESPN / TSN , November 1^st

 

Steven Regal vs. Scotty The Body

 

The English Lion outclassed the Body, forcing him to give up to the Regal Stretch.

 

The Dreamboats (Tommy Dreamer & Glamour Boy Shane) vs. Harlem Heat

 

The Dreamboats put up quite a fight, but Stevie Ray tipped the balance in their favour by clobbering Shane on the back of the neck with his slapjack. This left him vulnerable to a Scissor Kick from Booker T that gave the Heat the victory. After the match, Shane was clutching the back of his neck, and may well be seriously hurt.

 

Rick Martel vs. Brian Lee

 

This was an intense battle that went back and forth. Martel was just able to hit a reverse diving body press to barely hold Lee's shoulders down for the three count.

 

Shinya Hashimoto vs. Makhan Singh

 

The Monster was able to catch Hash in the corner with the Karachi Crunch (Avalanche) for the win.

 

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

 

The Man From Powerhouse Hill faced one of his most tenacious challengers in a rematch, and Malenko gave him quite a battle indeed before Busick hit his always devastating Spinebuster Slam to remain TV champ.

 

Pacific Heavyweight Title Match : Ted Dibiase © vs. Steve Blackman

 

Having survived the challenge of Dan Severn, Dibiase faced off with the Beast's teammate and good friend Steve Blackman. This former submission champ really put the champ through the wringer, but the Man Of Means ducked an attempted Running Bicycle Kick and later caught the Living Weapon coming off the ropes with a Powerslam to successfully defend his title.

 

[rainmakerrtv]

Pacific Coast Wrestling show from the Kelowna Memorial Arena, Kelowna,  November 2^nd

 

Chris Hamrick & Jason Jett vs. The Suicide Blondes

 

After what Fit Finlay had done a couple of nights ago, Hamrick and Jett were clearly out to do it for David, and sent a message to Finlay by defeating the Blondes, with Jett taking down Spicolli with the Crash Landing (rolling release suplex).

 

Lance Storm vs. Chris Adams

 

Adams was able to put down the upstart Storm with a Superkick.

 

Iron & Steel (Tony Atlas & Larry Cameron) vs. Coast 2 Coast (John Tatum & Jack Victory)

 

I&S are heading towards a big challenge for the Pacific Tag Team Titles, but faced a considerable roadblock in the form of the former champs. The result was a titanic battle where Atlas was just barely able to put down Victory with the Piledriver.

 

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

 

It's always a party with the SoBs , and they kept the good times rolling with a victory by way of Beach Break (stuff power bomb) on Del Ray.

 

Pacific Light Heavyweight Title Match : Art Barr © vs. Chris Jericho

 

Jericho proved to be quite a handful for Barr but the champ held strong and took him down with a Tombstone, followed by a Frog Splash for the win.

 

California Title Match : Dennis Condrey © vs. Pierre Carl Ouellet

 

PCO came in incredibly fired up himself, and the result was a ferocious battle that went to a 30 minute time limit draw.

 

[Control21]

Bret Hart vs Ted DiBiase should be a very interesting match. Bret seems like he is ready for primetime, but can he get past DiBiase? The Blackman/Severn vs Kawada/Awesome match might be a showstealer. 

Speaking of Bret, he looks ready for the big match after dispatching David Young. I think the highlight of this week was Art Barr vs Chris Jericho. Chris Jericho is making a name for himself in PCW so far.

 

[ErictheDragon]

Stormfront out cheat the Blondes.

Kid is rolling ahead of his title shot.

Finlay is a bad enemy to have.

I don't think anything is going to stop Douglas from getting that CA title

Vancouver,

Regal's on another roll. Big win over the former TV champ

Speaking of game over. Nobody gets up from the Spinebuster Slam!

Iron and Steel vs. the MVC is the money match I've been waiting for. Can't wait! 

SOB continue to ride that wave of fun 

Barr's been rock'n that LHW title

PCO takes Condrey to the limit. I wonder if these kinds of title defenses will finally catch up when he meets Douglas. 

 

[rainmakerrtv]

Pacific Wrestling Showcase from the Portland Sports Arena, Portland , on ESPN / TSN, November 7^th

 

Chris Hamrick vs. Fit Finlay

 

Last week, Finlay took no prisoners as he brutalized David Cash. This time out, Cash's friend and teammate Chris Hamrick was out to get a measure of revenge. Pierre Carl Ouellet and Jason Jett were there to have Hamrick's back, but Finlay kept his attention laser focused on Confederate Currency. Chris was coming off making it all the way to the finals of the Tournament Of Lions, and he showed that was no fluke as he stood his ground with the Belfast Bruiser. He had the fans thinking he might just pull of the upset, but that came crashing down when he went for a high risk move and was caught in thin air. Finlay hoisted him up in a Canadian Backbreaker then rammed him chest first into the corner turnbuckle. He then dropped Hamrick on his head with a Tombstone and got the three count. Finlay looked set to do more damage, but PCO and Jett swept in like avenging angels, ready to protect their friend. Finlay gave them an evil grin and stalked off, feeling he had made his point … for now.

 

Rob Zakowski vs. Cliff Robinson

 

The man who beat Hamrick in the Tournament Of Lions was one Rob Zakowski. Although arrogant and aligned with the Sinister Minister's villainous Hexagon, Zakowski has a bit of a cult following, what with his sensational moves and style. Both were on full display in this match, as Zakowski put on a dazzling display before polishing off Robinson with a leaping spin kick to the jaw. Zakowski has had quite the rookie year, and looks to continue that trajectory into the New Year.

 

Too Cold Scorpio vs. Jimmy Del Ray

 

Too Cold Scorpio is a big favorite with the fans and always a threat to regain the Light Heavyweight Title that he once held with such distinction. Facing one of the members of the Hollywood Heartbreakers, Scorpio used it as an opportunity to display just what he was capable of. With moves to rival those of Rob Zakowski, he easily polished off Del Ray with the Scorpio Splash. Clearly , you don't want to take Too Cold lightly, as the Gigolo found out to his chagrin.

 

Glamour Boy Shane vs. Jack Victory

 

After the match the Dreamboats had with Harlem Heat last week, Shane came in clearly with problems in his neck. The Big V zeroed in on that weakness and was all over him like a leopard on a lamb, pounding on the back of his neck with elbow smashes. Shane couldn't withstand that for long, and a Victory Plex on the back of his head put him down for good. He was clearly badly hurt and Tommy Dreamer had to help him to the back of the ring.

 

Rick Martel vs. David Young

 

Following his challenge for Ted Dibiase's Pacific Heavyweight Title, Martel has found himself at a bit of loose ends. Despite that, the fans love him as much as ever, and were solidly behind him as he faced one half of the Oregon Wrecking Crew. Young has been coming into his own of late, and was quite pugnacious as he went toe to toe with the French Canadian legend. Martel was able to defeat him with a rollup out of the corner. It certainly won't be long before Martel is back at the forefront of PCW.

[rainmakerrtv]

Pacific Coast Wrestling show from the Portland Memorial Coliseum , Portland , on Pacific Super Cards on ESPN / TSN, November 8^th

 

Steven Blackman & Stormfront (Al Snow & Jerry Lynn) vs. Scotty The Body & The Suicide Blondes

 

This 6 man tag match was more of a 4 man tag. Continuing the fractures in the Citadel, Snow and Lynn basically ignored Blackman through much of the match, while Scotty seemed to be afflicted by the same ennui that has afflicted a few PCW stars of late, and basically stood on the ring apron throughout. Despite that, Stormfront and the Suicide Blondes put on an entertaining match, with Snow defeating Spicolli with the Snowman Splash.

 

Barry Windham vs. Brian Lee

 

Gearing up for a showdown with his nemesis Chris Adams, Windham squares off with his former friend Brian Lee. The two had a real donnybrook before Windham was able to nail Lee with the Western Lariat for the victory.

 

Iron & Steel (Tony Atlas & Larry Cameron) vs. Harlem Heat

 

This was another knock down, drag out fight, and it came close to descending into complete chaos at several points before Atlas and Cameron took down Stevie Ray with a Spike Piledriver.

 

Pacific Television Title Match : Big Bully Busick © vs. Gary Albright

 

In all his time as TV champ, Busick has yet to face someone as big and intimidating as Albright. The Animal lived up to his reputation, giving the Big Bully a fair amount of bruises and landed some crushing slams and suplexes. Busick, in turn, showed what he was made of, battling back and just barely hitting his Spinebuster, just barely holding his shoulders down for the one two three.

 

Pacific Tag Team Title Match : The Miracle Violence Connection © vs. The Dreamboats

 

Glamour Boy showed up wearing a support collar on his neck. With him recently being hurt in his past couple of matches, the Dreamboats asked if this match could instead be a singles match and, in an unusual show of sportsmanship, the champs agreed. Williams went in the ring on behalf of the MVC, and he and Dreamer had a competitive match until Dr. Death kicked it into a higher gear and planted him with the Doctor Bomb for the win.

 

Pacific Heavyweight Title Match : Ted Dibiase © vs. Buddy Rose

 

Ric Flair calls himself the dirtiest player in the game, and with good reason. This match, however, featured two strong contenders for that most dubious of crowns. Rose cut every corner he  could, but still had the cheers of most of the crowd (likely thinking "he may be a bastard, but at least he is our bastard"). Dibiase got just as far down deep in the gutter as the playboy, and it was a match full of stooging, falling, and dirty tactics. Dibiase seemed about to close the trap with the Million Dollar Means, but at that point, the Suicide Blondes rushed out to pull Rose's fat out of the fire. The Oregon Wrecking Crew were soon to follow, and the two sides brawled until the ref declared it a No Contest. The moment he did, Rose pulled his men from the ring and retreated to the ring. The Playboy might not have won the title, but he certainly made his presence felt in what he surely sees as his town.

 

[rainmakerrtv]

Pacific Coast Wrestling show from McArthur Court, Eugene, November 9^th

 

Jason Jett vs. Big Vito Lograsso

 

PCO was in Jett's corner and Jason gave a very good accounting of himself, keeping the Italian Stallion on the back foot before Vito finally took him down with the Sicilian Smash (running forearm smash to the face).

 

Lance Storm vs. Bobby Eaton

 

A fast paced match that went to Eaton by way of the Alabama Jam.

 

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

 

The Surfing Superstars continued their upward trajectory, taking down Black with the Beach Break (Stuff Power Bomb).

 

Chris Jericho vs. Stan Lane

 

Jericho evened things up with the Midnights by hitting a precision springboard dropkick for the win.

 

Jushin Liger vs. Eddie Guerrero

 

This was a Light Heavyweight classic that went right up close to the time limit with Liger just barely catching Guerrero in a flying victory roll to just barely get the pinfall.

 

California Title Match : Dennis Condrey © vs. Pierre Carl Ouellet

 

Condrey once again faced Pierre Carl Ouellet in a hard fought battle. Ouellet was going up top to put it away with the Cannonball Splash, only for Cornette to knock him off with the tennis racquet. A DQ win for PCO, but that doesn't get him the title.

PCW’s been on fire lately. Bret Hart’s Battle Royal win in Calgary was the kind of big hometown moment that sets the tone, and Dibiase’s been ducking danger ever since. Stormfront’s leaning hard into their heel run, Finlay’s tearing through the Money Train, and the Thrillseekers, Jericho, and Liger are lighting up the Light Heavyweight scene. Iron & Steel look ready for a major push, and even the undercard feels hot. Everything’s building perfectly toward San Diego Battleground — Bret vs. Dibiase is can’t-miss.
