The Italian Stallion's finisher always does the job 

Scotty didn't have much of a chance against a focused Hart 

Not even the Playboy could come up with a defense against the Spinebuster slam

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

 

The Sons Of The Beach have been surfing a wave of good feeling and positive vibes ever since their arrival on the West Coast. That seemed to come crashing into the shore with this match. It started innocently enough, with the duo seemingly dominating Billy Black. Once Big Vito got in the ring, however, things drastically changed. Something just sparked when the Italian Stallion was in the ring with the Sandman, and they fell into instant hate with each other. The two kept tearing at each other, no matter who was supposed to be the legal man in the ring. Even after Grizz took out Black with a Belly To Belly Suplex, they could not be kept apart. Their managers , Jim Cornette and Peaches, didn't help , shouting insults at each other, and it was up to their partners to pry the two apart. It didn't take much for these two teams to get under each other's skins.

 

Chris Adams vs. Dale Wentworth

 

Adams has had quite the tumultuous year, taking charge of the group he renamed the League Of Gentlemen and reemerging as one of the most dangerous competitors on the West Coast. He easily dominated Wentworth, knocking him about the ring before Superkicking him into the middle of next week. Barry Windham certainly has his work cut out for him in his match with the English Gentleman next week at San Diego Battleground.

 

Interview : Don Coss stands in the ring

 

Coss : Ladies and gentlemen, my next guests are one of the premiere factions in Pacific Coast Wrestling … the Citadel!

 

The fans warmly cheer, but there is a bit of reservation for some of them. Al Snow and Jerry Lynn are smirking, but Dan Severn, Steve Blackman, Big Bully Busick and Shane Douglas have grim expressions on their faces.

 

Severn : I am sorry, Don, I need to take things from here. (Coss obliges by handing him the microphone and stepping back) I think we all know what is coming, no sense in putting it off. Al, Jerry … some weeks ago, we had a public talk. We discussed your increasing tendency to cross the line in your matches. I had hoped that would be the end of it, but all we got for it was a week of lip service and working to rule, then you went right back to what you were doing before. The Citadel is based on high athletic standards and discipline, with no room for cutting corners. Al, you saw what happened last year, you were a part of it. You and Alex couldn't keep yourselves under control, and that got Alex sent out of the territory. Now you seem to be leading Jerry down the same path. What do you have to say for yourself?

 

Snow : Well, Danny Boy, I don't think the situations are the same at all. I haven't heard anything from the Commish about sending us out of PCW. In fact, we haven't had any DQs blemishing our record at all. Sure, we may colour outside the lines a bit, but it is just getting us wins and back into title contention. I don't see you challenging for any titles. In fact, it's been some time since you have had a belt around your waist at all.

 

Busick : Hold up there, buddy. (pointing to his own title belt) In case you hadn't noticed, I am still TV champ, and Shane here has a shot at the California title next week. And we got all of this by doing things the Citadel way, hard work and integrity.

 

Snow : All of that is true, but I am talking about Beastie Boy here (Severn clouds up) It's been some time since you and, for that matter, Blackman held the …. Submission Title, was it? Do they still have that belt? You got some shots at the tag team titles, but you fell short. Our way is working , and your way isn't. Accept it.

 

Severn : I think we have said all that can be said. I hate that this has come to this, but it seems the time has come to part ways. I wish that it could have been any other way.

 

Snow : Well, Danny, I guess that is the way it is. But you will find out soon enough how right I truly am.

 

Pacific Submission Title Match : Terry Gordy © vs. Shinya Hashimoto

 

Despite Snow's dismissive comments, the Pacific Submission Title is a major and hotly contested title, held by no less than Terry "Bamm Bamm" Gordy. Tonight, the Japanese star Shinya Hashimoto put in a concerted effort to get that belt from around Gordy's waist, mercilessly targeting Bamm Bamm's compromised right arm with brutal twists and armlocks. Gordy was able to overcome this by stunning Hash with a jarring chokeslam , then locking him in the Asiatic Spike to force him to tap out. A hard fought victory, but Gordy is in rough shape going into his Pacific Tag Team Title defense next week.

 

Roddy Piper vs. Louie Spicolli

 

Ever since his return to the West Coast, Hot Rod has spent much of the year merrily tormenting the various members of the Playboy Club. This has caused much grief for Buddy Rose, but increasingly the other members of the Club have clearly had a belly full of Piper's antics. Chris Candido was at ringside for this match, and Spicolli did all he could to overpower the Hot Scot.  But when Candido got on the ring apron in an attempt to interfere, Piper whipped Spicolli into him, forcing a collision . Rowdy Roddy capitalized on the chaos by rolling up Spicolli for the three count, and then dashed out of the ring, cackling all the way. Candido was clearly fuming after the match, and while Spicolli was trying to calm him down, the New Jersey native was swearing vengeance at Piper.

 

Bret Hart vs. Gary Albright

 

In one week, Bret Hart will challenge Ted Dibiase for the Pacific Heavyweight Title. Dibiase has been sending every obstacle he can to compromise the Hitman before the match, and his last obstacle was a formidable one indeed. The Animal is coming off a dominant run as one half of the Golden State Tag Team champs , and used his size and skill to try and crush Hart. Bret used his own considerable savvy to deflect as much of the damage he could, but no matter what, he couldn't get Albright down for the Sharpshooter. Albright tried to crush him with an Avalanche, but Bret dodged out of the way at the last second. Hart went up top and took Albright down with a top rope Bulldog, then followed up with a second rope elbow drop. Not taking any chances, Hart wrapped him up in a double leg rollup to get the three count. Next stop : San Diego and the Man Of Means.
