I love seeing that the "Sons of the Beach" carried on in PCW after my short lived Florida promotion folded. Fun match with News/Sandman facing Scotty the Body/Chris Candido (a fan team I never knew I needed until now)

 

 

I hope that is alright, I thought it was too great an idea to let die. 

[spaldoni]

Since his rebranding, Ultimo is quickly approaching a LHW title shot 

I can see more bangers ahead between the Sons and FBI 

Hmmmm has Fit found an ally 

What a way to introduce Scotty and Richards. It all clicked. Right time, right place. Man this makes total sense. Very creative thinking 

I would say Awesome is tuned up and ready for Sarge

Midnights win a battle but this war is far from over 

Sabu loses it but be careful messing with the Bully 

Portland 

Stormfront prove that their methods work 

The Hexagon have a stable full of young go getters ready to make their mark 

The Man of Means buys another ace but watch out when a healthy Gordy comes back with Williams 

Damn, can anybody stop Kawada 

Busick bounces back with the Spinebuster Slam 

Even though he lost the CA title, Condrey is still having the run of his career as he takes the champ to the limit 

Eugene

Yep, Finlay's got some back up now 

Guido's fights but Scorpio's too much to handle 

Coast to Coast shows Fastball experience is a factor 

Adams keeps his streak going 

Another action packed LHW tag match to keep the fans on the edge of their seats 

Well, Snow's methods didn't work against Douglas

Pacific Wrestling Showcase from the Oakland Alameda County Arena, Oakland, on ESPN / TSN, January 16^th, 1991

 

Fastball (Robert Thompson & Bobby Horne) vs. Scotty The Body & Stevie Richards

 

This would be Scotty's first teaming with his new apprentice Stevie Richards , taking on the Two Man Party of Fastball. Richards came dancing out to "Holy Roller" by Mother Love Bone, and kept on busting a move to Fastball's music " Man On The Corner" by Urban Dance Squad. Scotty tried to get Richards to maintain a more professional demeanor in the ring, which was at least better than the look of sheer disgust that Tina Ferrari was giving the Dancing Fool. Scotty had his work cut out for him, as Richards kept on winking and grinning at Fastball's manager Trisa Hayes, who responded by looking at Richards as though he was something that crawled out from under the fridge. Richards did get off some good moves, but ended up flattened by a jarring DDT by Horne that gave the match to Fastball. Scotty was clearly encouraging Richards as they left the ring, but Tina could be heard muttering, "I knew this was a bad idea."

 

Michael Modest vs. Robb Zbacnik

 

No surprise after last week that Modest came out accompanied by not just the other Serial Thrillaz but also Fit Finlay. The Belfast Bruiser is clearly taking the Thrillaz under his wing, giving the equalizer he needs in his feud with PCO and the Money Train while molding them to his methods. Modest showed admirable technical abilities for such a young wrestler, but was now adding an edge of viciousness that showed the influence of Finlay. Modest pinned Zbacnik with a Fisherman Suplex, and the rest of the Serial Thrillaz joined him in standing over his prone opponent. Finlay seemed to be falling behind in his feud, but this move has definitely put him back in the game.

 

Tommy Dreamer vs. Chris Adams

 

Adams is a wrestler with ambitions, determined to guide the League Of Gentlemen to the top of PCW. He was facing keen opposition in Tommy Dreamer, and , while the former Dreamboat gave him a lot to handle, the Superkick scored another victory for the Englishman. Adams is clearly dead set on rocketing himself to the number one contender's position.

 

The FBI vs. Ryan Aiken & Daniel Lue

 

Although Little Guido may not look like the typical PCW wrestler, his cousin Big Vito clearly takes considerable pride in his first steps in his wrestling career. The two paisanos completely dominated Aiken and Lue, and it was Guido who forced Lue to tap out to the Sicilian Necktie (guillotine choke), all while Jim Cornette gloated from ringside. The Louisville Lip may well be right to gloat, as between the FBI and the Midnight Express, he finds himself with a Royal Flush in his hands.

 

Dan Severn vs. Jerry Lynn

 

The split between Stormfront and their past colleagues continues to not be amicable. Al Snow and Jerry Lynn continue to scrap with their former friends, and continue to flaunt their disinterest in following any rules. Snow was at ringside for this match, taking the occasional potshot at Severn, leading to Steve Blackman coming out to watch his friend's back. Severn managed to get Lynn down after a takeover suplex, but Snow broke up the pin by diving into the ring and attacking the Beast. Blackman immediately entered the ring, but Stormfront ran off, cackling all the way to the back. A DQ win for the Citadel, but I don't think that is going to satisfy either side.

 

Non-Title Match : Bret Hart & The Thrillseekers vs. The Midnight Express

 

This match would not be for the Express' Trios Titles, but was still highly anticipated, particularly after Condrey went the distance with the champ last week. Bret Hart was certainly out to put down the challenge of "Loverboy" Dennis, no matter what type of match it is in. There were certainly some merciless exchanges between Bret and Condrey, along with spectacular tag team action between the Thrillseekers and the other Midnights. But things took quite a turn when Bret Hart was attempting to put the Sharpshooter on Condrey. While Storm and Jericho held off Eaton and Lane, Chris Adams snuck into the ring and blasted Hart in the back of the head with a Superkick. As Adams scarpered from the ring, Condrey pulled up Hart and hit the Full Nelson Facebuster for the three count. It looks like Adams doesn't want to wait in line for his shot at the Hitman, but Condrey is still going to face Hart first.

Pacific Coast Wrestling show from the Cow Palace , San Francisco,  on Pacific Super Cards on ESPN / TSN, January 17^th 1991

 

The Patriot vs. Jack Victory

 

The Patriot was able to take down The Big V with a flying shoulder block.

 

Steve Williams vs. Brian Lee

 

Dr. Death squared off with the newest member of the Terror Collective, looking to get revenge for the ambush last week. Once again, the Collective could not keep it one on one, with Ted Dibiase interfering and causing the DQ. As Dibiase and Lee double teamed Williams, someone ran out to the ring swinging a chair. It was Terry Gordy! Lee and Dibiase scattered as Gordy and Williams stood tall in the ring. Gordy had taken time off to tend to his injuries, but now he is back, and the Terror Collective will have to deal with the Miracle Violence Connection at full strength.

 

Pierre Carl Ouellet, David Cash & Jason Jett vs. Fit Finlay & The Serial Thrillaz

 

Out of nowhere, the Serial Thrillaz have eagerly leapt into the fray and joined Finlay in his feud with PCO and the Money Train. With Finlay and PCO running their respective sides, this was a long match with a lot of big moves that ended with the Thrillaz pinning Jett with the Thrill Killer (Mike Maverick Gorilla Press slams Shane Helms onto a prone opponent).

 

Roddy Piper vs. Chris Candido

 

With Candido seeking to prove himself, this was a crazy brawl that ended in a double countout, with both men slugging it out at ringside.

 

Big Bully Busick & Shane Douglas vs. Rob Van Dam & Sabu

 

As crazy a match as you can imagine that went to Sabu when he and Van Dam hit the Rolling Thunder on Shane.

 

Pacific Tag Team Title Match : Iron & Steel (Tony Atlas & Larry Cameron) © vs. The Oregon Wrecking Crew (David Young & Gary Albright)

 

A hard hitting match with the champs successfully defending their titles after a Spike Piledriver on Young.

The Eagle vs. John Tatum

 

Hollywood John took down the Eagle with the California Kick.

 

Too Cold Scorpio vs. Little Guido Maritato

 

Scorpio put young Guido through his paces, coming out on top in a battle of rollups for the win.

 

Steven Regal vs. Alex Wright

 

Das Wunderkind seemed to give a lot of attention to Trisa Hayes, greatly annoying both her and Regal. The English Lion was able to put him away with the Regal-Plex, but one gets the feeling he wished he could do more damage to the German rookie.

 

Chris Hamrick vs. Michael Modest

 

Modest closed out a busy but successful weekend by defeating Hamrick with the Reality Check (over the shoulder belly to back piledriver).

 

Non-Title Match : Bam Bam Bigelow vs. Toshiaki Kawada

 

In something of a surprising result, Kawada knocked out Bigelow with the Gamengiri for the win.

 

Pacific Light Heavyweight Title Match : Jushin Liger © vs. The Lightning Kid

 

The weekend closed out with a spectacular Light Heavyweight title match, with Liger coming out on top following a top rope Frankensteiner.

[kevinmcfl]

Nice job getting the rookies involved in their "training" right away.  I love have quickly you get them involved in angles like Stevie RIchards already in a tag team and Little Guido being brought in by his relative.  While the matches might not be as smooth in the ring, the fans don't always see that and are more interested in the "story" that is being told.  Nice job.  

[spaldoni]

Hopefully Scotty can prove everyone wrong and get Richards to focus 

Finlay's found himself some good help 

I agree, Adam's stock is skyrocketing 

The FBI gives Cornette reason to celebrate 

Stormfront really wants to get the better of Severn and Blackman 

Hart has some serious challenges ahead with Condrey and Adams

Pacific Wrestling Showcase from the Olympic Auditorium , Los Angeles , on ESPN / TSN, January 23^rd , 1991

 

David Cash vs. Big Vito LoGrasso

 

Cash, like the other members of the Money Train, has been somewhat rattled by the emergence of the Serial Thrillaz in their feud with Fit Finlay. Nonetheless, Cash did his best to bear down and focus on his match with the Powerhouse Paisano, and was able to get his shots in and land some impressive moves. In the end, Vito, accompanied by his manager Jim Cornette and his cousin Little Guido, wore cash down and flattened him with the Sicilian Smash (running forearm smash to the face) for the win. A tough loss for Cash, but he still has more fierce battles ahead of him.

 

Fastball (Robert Thompson & Bobby Horne) vs. Roger Sexton & Ryan Shoulders

 

With their magnetic attitudes, it didn't take long for the Two Man Party to win over the hearts of the PCW fans. Dancing out to the ring with Tris Hayes to the sound of "Man On The Corner" by Urban Dance Squad, they eagerly shook hands and slapped palms with the audience before locking up with their opposition. Thompson and Horne were all over their opponents, tossing them about the ring before hitting the Fastball Special (Rocket Launcher) for the win. Fastball are clearly bringing good times to the West Coast.

 

Steven Regal vs. Dean Malenko

 

These two had several matches in 1990 with no decisive result. Malenko did get a recent win, but that was due to the interference of Alex Wright. Wright was at ringside for this match, along with the Sinister Minister, but they were balanced by the presence of Tommy Dreamer and Trisa Hayes in the corner of Regal. Hayes wound up drawing a lot of attention from Wright in a way she absolutely did not find flattering. Regal looked to be on the verge of taking the match when he had Malenko set up for the Regal Stretch, but Wright leapt into the ring and attacked him, causing the DQ. Dreamer soon followed, and after a brief tussle, the ref ordered them back to their locker rooms. A win for Regal, but a frustrating one.

 

Brian Lee vs. Shawn Cohen

 

The big Bulldozer has been one of the hottest prospects in PCW, starting out in the Brigade before abandoning them for the Playboy Club. Lee now finds himself a prized member of the Terror Collective, and Ted Dibiase was at ringside to watch his new acquisition dismantle Cohen. Lee didn't even break a sweat as he planted Cohen with the Prime Time Slam for the victory. The Man Of Means has clearly invested well.

 

Pacific Television Title Match : Big Bully Busick © vs. Stan Lane

 

Busick has prided himself on being a fighting champion, facing all challenges head on. His is currently looking towards a challenge from the Bombay Madman, Sabu. Tonight, though, we must cope with his former employer, Jim Cornette, who is sending Stan Lane after the Big Bully. The Man With Educated Feet certainly presented a fierce challenge, landing some hard kicks and shots on the champ. He seemed to be chipping away at Busick's defenses until the Bully exploded out of the blocks and took him down with a crushing tackle. He then hit a series of power moves before flattening Lane with his devastating Spinebuster Slam for the win. An important victory, but he can't rest on his laurels, not with Sabu hot on his trail.

 

Roddy Piper vs. Chris Candido

 

Candido certainly didn't appreciate being called out by Piper a few weeks ago , and came out swinging when the Hot Scot entered the ring. This was a wild and tumultuous brawl, with scarcely any technical holds or moved to be seen until Candido dove into Piper when he was in the corner. Piper ducked out of the way at the last second, sending Candido face first into the turnbuckle. Piper followed up with a belly to back suplex that barely held Candido's shoulders down for the three count. Piper got the win, but Candido came after him after the bell and the two kept slugging it out down the aisle all the way back to the locker room. Piper may not have swayed Candido to his way of thinking, but he has definitely lit a fire under the New Jersey native.

Steven Regal & Tommy Dreamer vs. Dean Malenko & Alex Wright

 

Things were even more heated in this rematch from a couple of weeks ago, and Wright's harassment of Trisa Hayes didn't help things. He may well have regretted arousing the ire of Dreamer, given the ferocity of Dreamer's offense , leading to Wright being planted with a DDT . This scored the three count to Trisa's men, but this feud is just getting underway.

 

Chris Jericho vs. Chris Adams

 

Adams continued to stake his claim for a shot at the Pacific Heavyweight Title, taking down Jericho with a Superkick.

 

The Sons Of The Beach (Cannonball Grizz & The Sandman) vs. Stormfront (Al Snow & Jerry Lynn)

 

Stormfront attempted their usual corner cutting and cheap tactics, but the SoBs were having none of it, planting Snow with the Beach Break (stuff power bomb).

 

Pacific Light Heavyweight Title Match : Jushin Liger © vs. Eddie Guerrero

 

Light Heavyweight Title Matches tend to take place on the smaller market shows, but this one was given a showcase in LA. Liger and Guerrero took advantage of the spotlight to put on a full on classic, with a long match that ended with Liger flipping out of an attempt at a brainbuster, then countering with a Dragon Suplex for the win.

 

Terry Gordy & Steve Williams vs. Ted Dibiase & Brian Lee

 

In an evening of crazy matches, this one was pure havoc, with all four men in the ring for most of the match and the ref eventually declaring a no contest.

 

2/3 Falls Pacific Heavyweight Title Match : Bret Hart © vs. Dennis Condrey

 

After several previous showdowns, Hart and Condrey would now face off in a 2/3 falls war.  Knowing they would be going a long way, the match started slow, with both sides trying to find a weakness. They eventually opened up their offense more, and the match rapidly picked up momentum from there. Hart got the first fall with a diving clothesline. Condrey came back from that and started to grind the Hitman down, evening the score with an inverted DDT. That's when the two started taking more and more risks. Condrey tried to take out Hart with a running Bombs Away kneedrop, but Bret rolled away at the last second. He then locked him in the Sharpshooter, and Loverboy Dennis was forced to give up the match. The fans still had energy to enthusiastically cheer Bret as he raised the belt over his head.

Pierre Carl Ouellet & The Money Train (David Cash, Jason Jett & Chris Hamrick) vs. Fit Finlay & The Serial Thrillaz (Shane Helms, Mike Maverick & Michael Modest)

 

With this feud truly starting to catch fire, PCO rallied his troops and fought back, with Jett pinning Helms following the Crash Landing (rolling release suplex).

 

Too Cold Scorpio vs. Little Guido Maritato

 

Guido caught Scorpio with a Sunset Flip out of the corner, but Scorpio rolled through it and followed up with a double leg rollup to get the win.

 

Fastback (Robert Thompson & Bobby Horne) vs. The Oregon Wrecking Crew (Gary Albright & David Young)

 

Fastback brought the good times , but the OWC brought the aggression, and that spelled the difference as Young pinned Horne following the Spinebuster Slam.

 

Sgt. Slaughter vs. Mike Awesome

 

Slaughter and Awesome wound up both being counted out as they kept brawling around ringside, throwing everything they could grab at each other.

 

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

 

A down and dirty fight that went to the champs when they were finally able to flatten Tatum with a double flying shoulder block.

 

California Title Match : Shane Douglas © vs. Bobby Eaton

 

Douglas held off a concerted challenge from Beautiful Bobby when he was able to pin Eaton with a top rope flying Sunset Flip.
