Pacific Coast Wrestling show from the Portland Memorial Coliseum , Portland , on Pacific Super Cards on ESPN / TSN, September 12^th , 1991

 

The New Foundation vs. The Headbangers

 

This was another wild and crazy bout between these two duos that ended up as a no contest with all four men brawling in the ring at the same time.

 

Chris Candido vs. Sean Morley

 

Morley went right to the gutter with his tactics, hitting a low blow on Candido that staggered him enough that he was easy prey for a big clothesline. The Perfect Specimen then followed up with a top rope splash to steal the win.

 

Tommy Dreamer vs. Jack Victory

 

Dreamer seemed to have calmed down somewhat from Phoenix Firestorm, but was still competitive enough to put out Jack Victory with the Dream Weaver (modified sleeper).

 

Pacific Tag Team Title Match : The Midnight Express © vs. Fastball (Bobby Horne & Robert Thompson)

 

Coming off an intense bout at Phoenix Firestorm with the SOBs, the Midnights once again had their hands full, this time facing a determined challenge from Fastball.  It took quite a bit of effort, but Stan Lane was able to hit Horne in the back of the head with a Savate Kick to hold off their challenge for now.

 

Bret Hart, Bam Bam Bigelow & Steve Williams vs. Toshiaki Kawada, Chris Adams & Mike Awesome

 

This would be Williams' first match after his unsuccessful bid for the Pacific Heavyweight Title, and Dr. Death was out for blood. He wasn't able to get Kawada's shoulders to the mat, but he did crush Awesome with a Doctor Bomb and take the match. Awesome was clearly furious after the match, but the result went to Williams and his partners.

 

Cage Match : Roddy Piper vs. Buddy Rose

 

There was much anticipation going into this match, and that went off the charts when it was announced before the match that this would be the Final Bout between these two opponents. After an epic run, one way or another, this feud would be coming to an end. Rose was first out, getting mostly boos but a few cheers. Smug as always, this was his town, and he knew he was the King Of Portland. Piper was next, to the sounds of "Scotland The Brave" and enormous cheers, the Rowdy rebel as always. The match was a PhD Course in rulebreaking, with both men using every dirty trick in the book, and they both had an encyclopedia. Both men were busted open early, and the mat was smeared red throughout the match. Nothing they threw at each other would keep the other down for long. They finally staggered towards the cage and tried to ascend at the same time, both men worn down from battering and bloodloss. They reached the top simultaneously and started slugging it out while astride the cage. Sean Morley came down the ramp, no doubt for some nefarious purpose, but was intercepted by Chris Candido. Nevertheless, this still provided a vital distraction, as it allowed Rose to reach into his trunks and pull out a set of brass knucks. He hammered Piper in the jaw with the knucks, causing the Hot Scot to tumble from the top of the cage into the ring. Rose gingerly made his way down the side of the cage, falling the last few steps but landing on the outside of the cage. That was it. The Playboy was the ultimate victor in the feud. A valiant effort from Piper but Rose pulled out the win, and the King stays the King.

Pacific Coast Wrestling show from McArthur Court, Eugene, September 13^th , 1991

 

The Smoking Gunns vs. The Dudley Boys

 

Another crazy match between these two match, with Billy pinning Bubba Ray following the Rocker Dropper.

 

Fit Finlay vs. Big Vito

 

A battle between two tough guys that went to Vito by way of the LBK (Legitimate Businessman's Kick).

 

Sgt. Slaughter vs. John Tatum

 

Slaughter leveled Hollywood John on the way to the victory.

 

The Tasmaniac vs. Jason Jett

 

There seemed to be palpable unease between the Tasmaniac and the Sinister Minister, but that didn't stop the wild man from choking out Jett with the Tazmission.

 

Randy Savage & The Thrillseekers vs. Brian Lee & The Oregon Wrecking Crew (Gary Albright & David Young)

 

Given who was involved in this match, it's no surprise that it was an intensely contested bout, with Savage and his partners coming out on top when the Macho Man hit the diving elbow drop on Young.

 

California Title Match : Rob Van Dam © vs. Chris Hamrick

 

Hamrick came close to taking the title on a few occasions, but RVD was able to shut down the FrankenHamrick with a power bomb, then hit a Frog Splash to successfully defend his title.
