The Sandman vs. Little Guido

 

Seemingly out of nowhere, a fierce feud has erupted between the surfing superstars and the pugnacious paisanos, particularly between the Sandman and Big Vito. In this match, it would be Little Guido fighting Sandman, but that didn't diminish the fury on either side. Initially, the young rookie Guido was able to capitalize on Sandman's anger, keeping his focus to tie up the Son Of The Beach and came close to trapping him into some submission holds. In the end, though the power and anger of the Sandman was too much to cope with, and Sandman came out on top with a Flying Legdrop. One can bet it won't be long before Big Vito has some sort of response.

 

Mike Maverick & Shane Helms vs. Rory Freeman & Jonathan Libby

 

The Serial Thrillaz came exploding out of the blocks and made an immediate impression as a team to keep an eye on, gaining a patron in Fit Finlay and rivals in the Money Train. The duo of Maverick and Helms (with Finlay and Michael Modest in their corner) showcased their high flying and combination moves before pinning Libby with the Thrill Killer (Mike Maverick Gorilla Press slams Shane Helms onto a prone opponent).  A convincing win, and you know they can't wait to get their hands on the Money Train.

 

Steven Regal vs. Alex Wright

 

While both Regal and the young Wright are very strong scientific wrestlers, that seemed to go right out the window the moment they stepped foot in the ring together. These two just threw down immediately, not even waiting for the bell, and never stopped. Dean Malenko eventually rushed out to try and tip the balance in Wright's favour, but found himself intercepted by Tommy Dreamer. Regal finally put Wright down with a swinging neckbreaker, but that is highly unlikely to be the end of things.

 

Chris Hamrick vs. Michael Modest

 

Well, that didn't take long. Modest took the fight right to Hamrick, but Hamrick had come of a very strong 1990, going all the way to the finals of the Tournament Of Lions, and refused to give an inch to the newcomer. Despite the best efforts from Confederate Currency, Modest was ultimately able to put him down with the Reality Check. Regardless, this feud clearly has legs, and it won't be too long before we see these two square off again.

 

Bam Bam Bigelow vs. Jeff Wilson

 

While still in the upper reaches of the PCW standings, the Beast From The East has come off some tough losses recently, and so was looking to show that he still had what it took. He bounced Wilson all over the ring, easily dominating him with power moves before squashing him from up top with the Nuclear Splash. Despite recent tough luck, Bigelow is clearly not someone to be underestimated.

 

Sgt. Slaughter vs. Chris Adams

 

Just before this match, it was announce that, in two weeks, Chris Adams would be appearing in one of the main events at Aloha Spectacular, challenging Bret Hart for the Pacific Heavyweight Title. Before he got there, though , he would have to get through the double tough DI Sgt. Slaughter. Sarge gave Adams a real battering, and while Adams gave as good as he got, Slaughter proved to be a big bear to try to contain. The tide turned when Mike Awesome came to ringside, and while Slaughter did his best to focus, Awesome proved enough of a distraction that Adams was able to sneak in the Superkick to get the win. He had survived, but would now have to face Hart, a champion at the top of his gang.

Tommy Dreamer vs. Dean Malenko

 

As could be imagined from the day before, this was a furious battle that disintegrated into a no contest.

 

The Miracle Violence Connection vs. The Oregon Wrecking Crew (Gary Albright & David Young)

 

The MVC faced down their former allies and, despite a tough effort from the OWC, Gordy overpowered Young with a Power Bomb.

 

Cannonball Grizz vs. Big Vito

 

Vito evened the score with the SoBs, taking down Grizz with the Sicilian Smash (running forearm smash to the face).

 

Chris Jericho vs. Dennis Condrey

 

Condrey overcame a game Jericho with the Full Nelson Facebuster.

 

Roddy Piper & Iron & Steel (Tony Atlas & Larry Cameron) vs. Chris Candido, Scotty The Body & Stevie Richards

 

An excess of zeal on the part of Stevie Richards cost him, as he left himself vulnerable to a belly to back suplex from Piper that gave the win to the Hot Scot.

 

Pacific Television Title Match : Big Bully Busick © vs. Buddy Rose

 

The Playboy used his considerable cunning to manage to stay even with the Big Bully. Unfortunately for him, Stevie Richards tried to tip the scales by entering the ring and attempting to hit Busick with the Stevie Kick. Busick dodged it , and Richards hit the ref instead , leading to Rose being disqualified. The Playboy was clearly furious as he left the ring.

Pierre Carl Ouellet & Chris Hamrick vs. Fit Finlay & Michael Modest

 

Well, that didn't take long (again). Hamrick made the most of his second shot at Modest, getting the pinfall with the Franken-Hamrick.

 

Too Cold Scorpio vs. Little Guido

 

After several matches with Scorpio, Guido had his best result yet, taking him to a 15 minute time limit draw.

 

Fastball (Bobby Horne & Robert Thompson) vs. The Midnight Express

 

In spite of the considerable enthusiasm of Fastball, the Midnights got the win with the Double Goozle on Horne.

 

David Cash & Jason Jett vs. Coast 2 Coast (John Tatum & Jack Victory)

 

The Money Train gave it their best shot, but Coast 2 Coast were able to take out Jett with the Coastal Crunch (high angle belly to back suplex by Victory into a Bionic Elbow Drop by Tatum).
