Adams sends a message that he wants another shot 

Wright has the talent but his arrogant attitude might be his downfall 

Thanks to Snow, Severn's snapped

I don't see an end in sight with the Money Train and Thrillaz 

WOW! I didn't think anybody could stop Kawada's reign but Regal steps up and does it. This title fits Regal well and I have a feeling Kawada's going to be even more dangerous, if that's possible

Chris Hamrick vs. Toshiaki Kawada

 

Last week, in something of a shocker, Toshiaki Kawada lost the Pacific Submission Title to Steven Regal. He was clearly infuriated by that result, and the comment was made that one felt sorry for whoever was the next person to face Kawada in the ring. Unfortunately for Hamrick, he would be that poor soul. Confederate Currency has always been a game and determined competitor, but found himself overwhelmed by the Japanese star, who blasted him with chops, kicks and suplexes. Kawada forced him to tap out to the Stretch Plum, but refused to release the hold until Pierre Carl Ouellet and the other members of the Money Train swarmed the ring to rescue their comrade. Chris Adams had better put a leash on Kawada before he does some permanent damage.

 

Fastball (Robert Thompson & Bobby Horne) vs. Stormfront (Al Snow & Jerry Lynn)

 

Fastball have wasted no time in establishing themselves as the Good Times team of the West Coast. Wherever Trisa Hayes and her team go, smiles and fun are sure to follow. Though Snow and Lynn tried to spoil the fun with their usual dirty tricks, Horne took Snow down hard with a DDT, followed by a running splash from Thompson for the win. It's no wonder why the fans have come to love this young team.

 

Interview : Don Coss stands in the Crow's Nest

 

Coss : Ladies and gentlemen … I am getting the heck out of here!

 

Coss carefully places the microphone on the floor and makes his egress. The Playboy Club comes out and the mood, to say the least, is mixed. Scotty The Body looks defiant while Stevie Richards looked like he was about to cry. Both Tina Ferrari and Chris Candido have a distinctly sour countenance. But Playboy Buddy was clearly boiling mad as he came in and grabbed the microphone from the floor .

 

Rose : Alright, we are going to get this settled once and for all. YOU TWO!!! *pointing to Scotty and Stevie* You are being called out on carpet once and for all. Scotty, when this idiot *abashed look from Stevie* shows up, I figure to give him the bum's rush. But you swear to me that he is a diamond in the rough and you think you can make something of him. You were pretty down at the time and it looked like this might lift your spirits, so I say sure. I take your word for it that he is Playboy Club material. So I let him in. And what is the result? Disaster! First of all, he can't beat the janitor. But then he starts costing the rest of us matches. He keeps Candido from getting a pinfall over Piper at Aloha Spectacular. The next match, he blows it against Fastball. He even distracts me in the following match, costing me a win over Rick Martel . But worst of all, last week, he Stevie Kicks me in my match with Bret Hart, costing me my shot at the Pacific Heavyweight Title. I've had enough! I'm a looking to kick somebody to the curb, and I am tempted to make it both of you!

 

Richards : Listen, I know I've made some mistakes, but …

 

Tina : No, you listen! I publicly said that I only associate with winners, and that is why I joined this group. Well, you are a loser! Worse, you are making us into losers. You don't belong in the Playboy Club, and the sooner you are gone, the better! (In the background, Candido shrugs and nods in agreement)

 

Scotty : Look, even though …

 

Stevie : *sadly* It's alright , Scotty, I'll just …

 

Out of nowhere, Scotty backhands Stevie in the face, dropping him to the floor of the Crow's Nest. The rest of the Playboy Club look on in shock and the sudden outburst of violence. Scotty grabs Stevie by the hair and drags him to his feet.

 

Scotty : Several weeks ago, Bam Bam Bigelow bounced you all over the ring and squashed you like a bug. Did you quit?

 

Stevie : No, Scotty!

 

Scotty slaps him in the face, hard enough to cause his mouth to redden and his nose to swell.

 

Scotty : Roddy Piper made you look like a fool in front of a nationwide audience. Did you quit?

 

Stevie : No, Scotty!

 

Scotty slaps him again, now causing a trickle of blood from his mouth and nose.

 

Scotty : *pointing at Buddy Rose* That man hates you. They all hate you. They all think you are worthless. I don't much like you myself right now. But I see something in you. Do you want to quit?

 

Stevie : No, Scotty?

 

Scotty : *pulling him close until they are face to face* Do you want to quit?

 

Stevie : No, Scotty!

 

Scotty : Do you swear do follow my every order, do exactly as I say and nothing else?

 

Stevie : I swear, Scotty!

 

Scotty : DO YOU SWEAR?

 

Stevie : I SWEAR, SCOTTY!

 

Scotty eases back and puts a protective arm around Stevie. He turns to Buddy Rose.

 

Scotty : This kid doesn't have any quit in him. I know this is a low point, but he will get there. I will get him there, I stake my life on it.

 

Rose : Don't make promises, Scotty, I will expect you to keep them. Okay, never let it be said that I am not a fair man. I'm giving you a reprieve. Just barely. But make no mistake about it, boys. You are both on final notice, and if you give me the slightest excuse, I am dropping the hammer on both of you.

 

Chris Candido vs. Blake Towsley

 

After the drama of the previous segment, Candido was clearly nervous coming out, and the chants of "Crybaby!" weren't helping. No matter how rattled he seemed, Candido knuckled down to the task at hand. He easily took command of the match, tossing Towsley about before finishing him off with the New Jersey Jam. Despite that, the chants increased in volume after the match, and he rushed back to the locker room in shame.

 

Terry Gordy vs. David Young

 

The Miracle Violence Connection just can't seem to get away from the Terror Collective, and after the underhanded loss at Aloha Spectacular, Gordy and Williams still want to give them a few more lumps until they are done. Tonight, Gordy would be facing the youngest member of the Collective. But despite Young's relative inexperience, he was certainly not to be taken lightly. His time as one half of the Golden State Tag Team champs had earned him a lot of attention and respect, and he was not about to knuckle under to someone even as fearsome as Gordy. Throughout the match, Young gave as good as he got, until Gordy folded him up with a high angle belly to back suplex. A good effort by Young, but Gordy would not be denied.

 

The Force Of July (The Eagle & The Patriot ) vs. Brian Corridan & Brandon Bellinger

 

The Force of July had a disappointing result at Aloha Spectacular, losing the Golden State Tag Team Titles to Coast 2 Coast, and they are looking to get back on track and into contention for a chance to regain the belts. They showed this with a dominant performance, easily manhandling the rookies and getting the win with a Patriot Missile on Corridan. An impressive win, but they will need to work hard to get another shot at Tatum and Victory.

 

Pacific Television Title Match : Big Bully Busick © vs. Eddie Guerrero

 

In his time in PCW, Eddie Guerrero has been a title holder many times over, as Golden State Tag Team champ, as Pacific Submission champ, and notably as Pacific Light Heavyweight champ. Lately, however, he has been moving up to higher profile title shots. Tonight, he would take on the # 2 singles champ on the West Coast, Big Bully Busick, and despite the considerable weight and power advantage, the second generation star stood his ground. He made the most of his speed and aerial ability, peppering the champ with shots and even dodging the dreaded Spinebuster Slam, countering it with a single arm rollup that got a two count that was incredibly close to being a three. His boldness finally cost him when he went for a Sunset Flip, only for Busick to drop down on him , holding his shoulders down for the count of three. Even so, Guerrero is making his play to the upper echelons of the rankings.

The Sandman vs. Big Vito

 

A crazy brawl that ended in a no contest, with Sandman and Vito slugging it out in the aisle and Peaches chasing Jim Cornette around the ring with the Kendo stick.

 

Shane Douglas vs. Chris Candido

 

This time out, the "Crybaby" chants proved to be too much of a distraction for Candido, leading to him being caught by a Belly To Belly Suplex and a win for Douglas

 

Lance Storm vs. Stan Lane

 

A Russian Legsweep from Lane led to a victory for the Midnight Express member

 

Chris Jericho vs. Bobby Eaton

 

Jericho evened the score with the Midnight Express with the Lionsault

 

Bam Bam Bigelow vs. Dennis Condrey

 

A brutal battle between two tough customers that finally ended when Bigelow bowled over the former California champ with a running tackle, then went up top for the Nuclear Splash and a hard fought win

 

Bret Hart & Barry Windham vs. Chris Adams & Mike Awesome

 

As you could imagine, this was a long and intense war. Ultimately, Windham was able to hold off Awesome long enough for Hart to hit a piledriver on Adams and get the victory.

Pacific Coast Wrestling show from McArthur Court, Eugene, March 15^th

 

Too Cold Scorpio vs. Little Guido

 

Guido is truly feeling his oats now, forcing Scorpio to tap out to the Sicilian Necktie

 

Steve Blackman vs. Michael Modest

 

Modest gave a credible battle to Blackman but wound up going down to the Running Bicycle Kick.

 

Golden State Tag Team Title Match : Coast 2 Coast (John Tatum & Jack Victory) © vs. Fastball (Robert Thompson & Bobby Horne)

 

The champs held off the rookie challengers when Victory hit the Victory Plex on Thompson.

 

The Thunder Dragons (Jushin Liger & Ultimo Dragon) vs. The Serial Thrillaz (Shane Helms & Mike Maverick)

 

Despite the emergence of Dragon as the top Light Heavyweight contender, he and the champ worked well together as they defeated the younger team, with Dragon pinning Helms following a top rope rana.

 

California Title Match : Rob Van Dam © vs. Pierre Carl Ouellet

 

The double tough PCO gave RVD his fair share of lumps, but the champ came out on top with a split legged moonsault.

[ErictheDragon]

Rose finally issues an ultimatum to Scotty & Stevie, shape up or ship out. I wonder how long before he turns his attention to Candido?

Guido has really turned the tide in his series of matches against Scorpio.
