Combined with the newly signed matches, PCW is gonna blow it up in Vegas! Legend on the west coast, died in an automobile accident in 1978. He had an amazing 2/3 falls match with Buddy Rose. I believe he was the original wrestling Moondog. I struggled to find a fitting name for the tournament, then thought it would be a great tribute to the Moondog.

rainmakerrtv Posted March 17, 2022 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2022 Pacific Wrestling Showcase from the Oakland Alameda County Arena, Oakland, on ESPN / TSN, March 18th Black Gold (Steve Blackman & Shane Douglas) vs. Mike Miller & Bob Orton With both of these teams heading into the Vegas Vengeance Tag Team Tournament, they both wanted the win to get as much momentum as they can. Both teams played to their strengths, with Black Gold using their speed and combination moves while the Crazy Gang duo relied on skullduggery and brute force. The Crazy Gang thought they had it in the bag when they went for the double lariat on Steve Blackman, a move that had won them matches before. But Blackman ducked under the move, and while Douglas grabbed Orton's leg from the outside and tripped him. Miller ran straight into a running bicycle kick from Blackman, and scored a big win going into Vegas Vengeance. Robbie Brookside vs. Eddie Guerrero Eddie Guerrero may be in the middle of an intense rivalry with Art Barr, but he was just as aggressive and cocksure in this match as he has been with Barr. Brookside has been trying to find his feet as British Steel have been on a run of a tough series of losses. But it was hard to get much headway against the fiery Guerrero Brother. It seemed like it was all over when Guerrero went up top for the Frog Splash. But that was when Art Barr ran out and shoved him off the top turnbuckle. Barr has taken umbrage at Guerrero stealing his move, and this has added fuel to the blazing inferno of their rivalry. The ref called for the DQ, and Barr kept attacking Guerrero until the other members of the Army and the Guerreros came out and separated the pair. Submission Title Tournament Semi-Final Match : Dan Severn vs. Hector Guerrero With the Submission Title Tournament moving into the semi finals, these two warriors knew they needed to kick things into a higher gear in order to get one step closer to be the inaugural Submission Champion. They both worked hard to wear down the other, to get them in place for a submission hold. The experienced Guerrero was well matched against Severn, a master of multiple martial arts, and the battle was gripping to say the least. No matter what, Guerrero was not able to get Severn in the Gory Special, and eventually Severn took him over with a single arm throw before cinching in a cross arm breaker. Realizing he was nowhere near the ropes , Guerrero tapped out, and Severn was heading to the finals. Billy Jack Haynes vs. Al Snow Billy Jack is dead set on getting revenge on Jack Victory for his loss at Aloha Spectacular, and is willing to go through all of the Knights Templar to get to him. His manager, Sunshine, had her own altercation with Knights Templar mentor Bob Backlund, who was present at ringside. Sunshine was staring daggers at Backlund throughout, but Backlund kept his distance, staring at the match. Billy Jack was not about to take it easy on Snow, and while Snow acquitted himself well , Haynes put him down with authority with a crushing shoulder breaker. Billy Jack clearly isn't going to be satisfied until he gets another shot at Jack Victory. Brian Pillman vs. Bob Backlund Backlund was back out right away to have his own match with Brian Pillman. Backlund has had the Knights Templar taking aim at Pillman's Snowbirds partner Owen Hart and his California Title, but Pillman, still showing wear and tear from the previous week's cage match with TV champ Big Bubba Rogers, was set on showing that he was not someone to look past. Pillman showed a lot of grit and determination as he fought valiantly against the former World champ. But Backlund kept his cool throughout, and blocked an attempted waistlock take down by Pillman only to counter with a belly to back suplex. He trapped Pillman in the Crossface Chicken Wing, forcing Pillman to give up the match. Backlund is showing that his position as leader of the Knights Templar is well deserved. Submission Title Tournament Semi-Final Match : Leo Burke vs. Jeff Jarrett This would be the last match of the show, and would determine who would face Dan Severn at Vegas Vengeance for the Submission Title. Severn came out with Jarrett, but stood in a neutral corner while he observed the match. This match contrasted the veteran methodology of Burke with the young enthusiasm of Jarrett, but they both had the same goal in mind. The advantage was passed back and forth throughout the match, and it looked like Burke would be able to catch Jarrett in the Sleeper Hold. But Jarrett dropped down and broke up the hold with a jawbreaker. He got up and clotheslined Burke to the mat before applying the Figure Four Leglock. Burke did everything he could to turn it over or get to the ropes. But he was in the middle of the ring and eventually had to tap out. Jarrett immediately let go of the hold, then helped Burke to his feet with a pat on the back for appreciation of a good match. Severn then entered the ring and held out his hand to Jarrett, who shook it. But as the two locked eyes, there was a clear tension in the air as they both realized that they would have to force their friend and partner to surrender in order to become the inaugural Submission Champion. These two are on a path to a showdown, and that ends at Vegas Vengeance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rainmakerrtv Posted March 18, 2022 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2022 Pacific Coast Wrestling show from the Cow Palace , San Francisco, on Pacific Super Cards, March 19th Art Barr vs. Curtis Hughes The Big Cat mauled young Art Barr, pinning him after the Cat's Claw (side slam onto the knee) John Tenta vs. Bob Orton Tenta hit the Big Quake on the Cowboy for the win The Hart Foundation vs. The Wild Bulls (Ed & Rick Gantner) Partway through the match, the Rainbow Warriors showed up at ringside. Ronnie P. Gossett started to argue with them to leave, but when Rick Gantner started jawing with them from inside the ring, Jim Neidhart capitalized with a Schoolboy Rollup for the pin Cactus Jack vs. Cannonball Grizzly Grizzly crushed Cactus with the Cannonball Crush (top rope flying splash) Ron Garvin & Fit Finlay vs. Buddy Rose & Ed Wiskowski Rose did everything he could to avoid Garvin and Finlay, but the pair were relentless and pinned him after he walked into a double Hands Of Stone Punch California Title Match : Owen Hart © vs. Gary Young Young zeroed in on Owen's arm and shoulder throughout the match, wrenching it with grueling armbars and even driving him shoulder first into the corner post. Owen was still able to pin him after a flying reverse body press, but was clearly in agony after the match. Bob Backlund looked like he was almost smiling as he led his man away from the ring. Barry Windham, Ron Simmons & Curt Hennig vs. "Mean" Mike Miller, Maxx Payne & Lord Humongous After a long, crazy match, things broke down with all six men fighting in the ring. One Man Gang took advantage of the chaos to sneak into the ring and hit an Avalanche on Windham. Maxx Payne then executed a side suplex on Windham, and when the ref finally turned around, he made the three count, giving the match to the Crazy Gang.

Autistic Dragon Posted March 18, 2022 Report Share Posted March 18, 2022 Hughes scores an emphatic win in the opener. Tenta flattens The Ace. The Rainbow Warriors give the Bulls a taste of their own medicine. Cannonball Crushes Cactus! I hope he didn't get any needles stuck in him. Rose gets the double k.o punch. That made the crowd happy i'm sure. Young comes up short again but seems to give his leader a clear target for Vegas. OMG helps out his old friends in the Crazy Gang & deals a crushing blow to Windham in one move. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rainmakerrtv Posted March 19, 2022 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2022 Pacific Coast Wrestling show from the Selland Arena, Fresno, March 20th Konnan vs. Chris Candido Konnan forced Candido to give up to the Tequila Sunrise Steven Regal vs. Jack Victory Victory continued his winning ways, beating Regal with the Victory-Plex Tabarnak De Team (Jos Leduc & Pierre Carl Ouellet) vs. Mr. Hito & Masanobu Fuchi A hard hitting match that TDT won with the Clear Cut (Leduc put Fuchi over his knee while Ouellet came off the top with a flying elbow smash) Tony St. Clair vs. Sabu St. Clair was ultimately able to put down the wild man of the Crazy Gang with the floating Butterfly Suplex Pacific Light Heavyweight Title Match : Black Tiger © vs. Mando Guerrero A close and exciting match that Black Tiger was able to win when he blocked Mando's German Suplex and counter with a rollup Pacific Tag Team Title Match : The Midnight Express © vs. Owen Hart & Brian Pillman Both of the Snowbirds were battered from matches earlier this weekend but still put on a classic before ultimately losing to the Midnight Express when the champs took Owen down with a double armbreaker takedown Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Autistic Dragon Posted March 19, 2022 Report Share Posted March 19, 2022 Konnan scores a big win over the former Light Heavyweight champion. Jack is really racking up those victories. TDT builds momentum for their title shot against Badd Company by beating their Japanese stablemates. St Clair vs Sabu is ab big a contrast in styles as PCW has to offer. Black Tiger wins a barnburner with Mando. The Snowbirds put up a brave fight but Owen's injured shoulder is their downfall. A hot night of wrestling in Fresno.

spaldoni Posted March 19, 2022 Report Share Posted March 19, 2022 Black Gold gets the serious momentum with that win over Orton and Miller. The heat is hotter than ever between Eddie and Barr. Severn makes it to the finals! Victory better be ready because Billy Jack is coming. Pillman once again puts up a valiant effort but you defiantly have to be at 100% to defeat Backlund. WOW! I figured Severn would make it to the finals, but Jarrett surprises me and makes it. Great story here with tag team partners in a Submission finals match. Vegas Vengeance is beyond stacked! Big Cat mows down Barr. Tenta gets his biggest Pacific win over Orton. Executing his finisher on Orton catapults Tenta to the next level. Rainbow Warriors are going to feel the Wild Bulls wrath. I'll be watching the Hart Foundation in Vegas. Grizzly is really proving his worth. DAMN! A Garvin/Finlay double punch! Rose got KO'd! Owen retains but damage is done. Like I said earlier, you have to be at 100% taking on Backlund. The Vegas odds are in Backlund's favor. OMG does the hit and Payne gets the fall on Windham. Konan looks strong heading into Vegas. Victory, quietly has a major win streak going. Badd Co's reign might be in trouble, because TDT is for real. Speaking of title reigns, will Bubba's strong TV title reign come to an end at the hands of St. Clair? Tiger and Mando probably stole the show. Classic tag match ends the night as the Midnights retain over the battle worn Owen and Pillman. . Great week! Vegas is going to be another epic Pacific event.

Scarlet-Left Posted March 23, 2022 Report Share Posted March 23, 2022 Sad to see Chris Candido take a loss but Konnan should be pleased with himself. Steven Regal picks up a win ... hopefully he can build on it! TDT have to be feeling confident heading into their title match after that win! Sabu learns the hard way that there's nothing better than technical superiority! I always love seeing the Black Tiger. Glad to see him successfully defend, in a great match! Owen Hart & Brian Pillman versus the Midnight Express is such a whopper main event! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rainmakerrtv Posted March 24, 2022 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2022 Pacific Coast Wrestling Vegas Vengeance from the Showboat Arena, Las Vegas, Night One Moondog Lonnie Mayne Memorial Tag Team Tournament First Round Match : US Steel & Art Barr vs. Hector & Eddie Guerrero The first match of Vegas Vengeance kicks off the second annual Moondog Lonnie Mayne Memorial Tag Team Tournament. Last year's winners, the Midnight Express, are now Pacific Tag Team Champions, so the competition is very intense for this year, with the teams hungry for both the title shot and the half million dollar prize. This match had a lot of heat going in, with the rivalry between rookies Art Barr and Eddie Guerrero captivating the fans. The two went at it fist and fire every time they were in the ring together, which was every chance they got. US Steel and Hector tried to settle them down, but the youngest members were locked in on each other. It broke down to a battle of rollups where Eddie came out on top. After a close match, the Guerrero Brothers would move on to the semi finals. Fit Finlay vs. Ed Wiskowski Ever since he left the Playboy Club, Fit Finlay has proved to be a thorn in the side of Buddy Rose and his men. The Playboy has sent his top lieutenant, The Polish Prince, to get the Belfast Bruiser out of his hair. A tall order, but Easy Ed was set on getting it done. This was the very definition of a hard hitting match, with both men throwing brutal punches that led to them busting each other open. In the end, Finlay was able to wear Wiskowski down enough to get him up for a Tombstone Piledriver and get the pinfall. The Fighting Irishman got the win but both men were clearly drained from an exhausting fight. Moondog Lonnie Mayne Memorial Tag Team Tournament First Round Match : Black Gold (Steve Blackman & Shane Douglas) vs. Mr. Hito & Masanobu Fuchi The next match in the tournament would be a contrast of the youthful enthusiasm of Black Gold against the more methodical approach of the Japanese veterans. Hito and Fuchi were former Golden State Tag Team Champs, and showed why with a well coordinated offense. But Blackman and Douglas rallied and Blackman was able to catch Fuchi with the running bicycle kick to move on in the tournament. Leo Burke vs. Curtis Hughes In his short time in Pacific Coast Wrestling, Ronnie P. Gossett has made quite the splash. First he took over managing the Wild Bulls, lighting a fire under the always intimidating Gantner Brothers. Then he brought in the Big Cat, Curtis Hughes, who has cut a swathe through the PCW ranks. The General of The Army, Leo Burke, was certainly not about to lay down for Hughes, and did everything he could in his considerable arsenal to contain the big man. But in the end, Burke was over powered, and after a devastating running tackle bowled him over, Hughes hit the Cat's Claw (modified side slam onto the knee) to get the win. The Big Cat is certainly becoming someone to watch closely. Curt Hennig vs. Lord Humongous The Crazy Gang are one of the most feared ensembles in all of Pacific Coast Wrestling, and a big part of that has been Lord Humongous. The man in the hockey mask has overpowered nearly everyone he has faced. Everyone, that is , except for Curt Hennig. The popular second generation star has stood his ground against Humongous, even picking up the odd victory, and that has stuck in the craw of Humongous. He struck even before the ring bell sounded, attacking Hennig from behind with some mask assisted headbutts to the back of the head. This knocked Hennig for a loop, allowing Humongous to do further damage, but the always resilient Hennig was able to recover and started to do damage of his own. Wisely avoiding locking up with Humongous as much as possible, Hennig instead made use of his speed and skill, knocking him around with precision dropkicks and clotheslines. Any time Humongous was able to catch him, though, made Hennig pay a heavy toll with big slams that shook the ring. Hennig started focusing his efforts on the mask of Humongous, loosening the straps holding it in place every chance he got. The created a distraction for Humongous, who had to try to hold his mask in place while still trying to fight Hennig. When Hennig was finally able to yank the mask off his head and throw it outside the ring, Humongous went into a frenzy trying to cover up his face. Hennig capitalized by wrapping him up in an inside cradle to score the pinfall, then leapt out of the ring to avoid a retaliatory rampage. A cunning win for Hennig, but you just know Humongous isn't going to take this lying down. Cactus Jack vs. Sabu Much like Art Barr and Eddie Guerrero, these two young gladiators have had their destinies tied to each other ever since their arrival in Pacific Coast Wrestling. Any time they have been in the ring together, it has been a recipe for chaos, and tonight was no exception. These two tore into each other with fury and intensity, and the crowd loved every minute of it. Cactus was determined to go for broke when he went up top for a flying elbow drop. But Sabu was able to roll out of the way just in time, and Cactus landed hard on the mat. Sabu then went up top and he was able to land a flying legdrop, putting Cactus' shoulders to the mat for the one two three. He had pulled off a hard fought victory, but that isn't likely to put an end to this feud. Moondog Lonnie Mayne Memorial Tag Team Tournament First Round Match : The Bomb Squad (Chris Candido & Al Snow) vs. British Steel (Steven Regal & Robbie Brookside) The Tag Team Tournament rolls on with a clash of two promising young teams. While the Bomb Squad have found new focus under the guidance of Mr. Bob Backlund, British Steel have fallen on hard times following the loss of the Pacific Tag Team Titles. Determined to get back on track, Regal and Brookside went all out against the men from the Knights Templar. Regal even wound up using some rougher tactics, to the surprise of Brookside. The result was a thrill ride of a match, with plenty of near falls and close calls. It looked like the young Englishmen might just break out of their slump when Regal had Candido set up for the Regal Plex . But Snow clothelined him from behind and hit the wheelbarrow suplex, and Candido was able to hold off Brookside while Snow got the pinfall. A heartbreaking loss for British Steel. What will it take to pull them out of their spiral? Pacific Television Title Match : Big Bubba Rogers © vs. Tony St. Clair Big Bubba Rogers has faced many challengers in his time as Television Champion, but he has come out of every battle with a firm grip on the title. Tony St. Clair is the latest to take on the Louisville Slugger, and had a look of steely determination when he came out to the ring. Rogers and his manager Jim Cornette didn't seem to be taking St. Clair too seriously, barely looking at him as the ring introductions were made. Big mistake, as St. Clair was extremely aggressive throughout the match. Nothing Rogers did to "Tough" Tony was able to hold him down for long, and St. Clair was able to fight his way back with jarring punches and skilled takedowns. If Rogers thought St. Clair was going to be a pushover, he got a rude awakening as Tony proved to be hard as ten bears, able to take an array of punishment and dish it back out. Rogers was so taken aback that he turned to Cornette for some sort of advice to get the match into his favour. This proved to be a further mistake as St. Clair hit a spinning forearm smash on Rogers, sending the champ crashing out of the ring. Cornette fanned him with his tennis racquet, but Rogers was unable to get back to his feet, let alone the ring, and the ref counted him out. He was still the Television champ, but St. Clair certainly has an iron clad case for a rematch. Moondog Lonnie Mayne Memorial Tag Team Tournament First Round Match : The Hart Foundation vs. "Mean" Mike Miller & "Cowboy" Bob Orton The next match would close out the first round of the tournament and determine who would go on to the semi finals on the second night. All four men were experienced wrestlers who had faced each other before, but tonight, their efforts were increased to an incredible degree. Both teams had each other well scouted, and it was a duel of wrestling and counter wrestling, the proverbial game of human chess. Orton was able to get Hart perched atop the top turnbuckle, looking to execute his signature Superplex. But Neidhart had clotheslined Miller out of the ring and came over to take the Cowboy down with a belly to back suplex. Bret Hart followed up with a second rope elbow drop and that was that. The former Golden State Tag Team Champs would fill out the last bracket in the semi finals. California Title Match : Owen Hart © vs. Mr. Bob Backlund Owen Hart was coming out with a heavily bandaged shoulder, following an injury from a brutal match with Gary Young followed by a tag match against the Midnight Express. Backlund had a look that was cold as ice as he came out followed by the rest of the Knights Templar, who watched his every move with rapt attention. The bandage was like a red flag to a bull, as Backlund was ruthless in wrenching Owen's arm every way he could. The popular champion put in a valiant effort, desperately fighting to hold off Backlund's attacks. But the former World Champion was too much to overcome in his damaged condition, and Backlund was able to procure the Cross Face Chicken Wing in the middle of the ring. Owen held off as long as he could, but too much damage had been done and there was no escaping. Owen finally tapped out, giving up the match and the California Title at the same time. Backlund was not jubilant but sternly wrapped the belt around his own waist, but the rest of the Knights Templar were reverent as he did so. It looks like the beginning of a new era in PCW, the era of the Knights Templar. Three Way Elimination Pacific Tag Team Title Match : The Midnight Express © vs. The Rainbow Warriors (Vic Steamboat & Brian Adams) vs. The Wild Bulls (Ed & Rick Gantner) Last year, the Midnight Express were triumphant in the Tag Team Tournament. Since then, they used that as a springboard to reigns as the Pacific Tag Team Champions, not once but twice (albeit with a change of membership between the two). This year would up the ante for them, as they would be defending their titles against not just one but two top duos. The Rainbow Warriors are one of the fastest rising teams in PCW, while the Wild Bulls are former tag champs with a new fire in their step under the guidance of Ronnie P. Gossett. Cornette's men were more than happy to let the other teams duke it out, only coming into the ring when the other teams were compromised. But both the Warriors and the Bulls became wise to this, and brought Lane and Eaton into the ring more and more, punishing them for their deviousness. The Rainbow Warriors were able to knock the Wild Bulls out of the match when Steamboat was able to hit a Flying Cross Body Press on Rick Gantner. But the Midnights then struck swiftly, with Eaton coming off the top rope with a flying kneedrop on Steamboat as he was still covering Gantner. Lane was able to intercept Adams and Eaton got the one two three on Steamboat. The Midnight Express faced a lot of pressure, but by hook or by crook, they were able to pull out another win.

rainmakerrtv Posted March 25, 2022 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2022 Pacific Coast Wrestling Vegas Vengeance from the Showboat Arena, Las Vegas, Night Two Ron Garvin vs. Mando Guerrero After an action packed first night, Night Two kicks off with a duel of two experienced and skilled wrestlers. Although neither man was in the Submission Title Tournament, they both worked hard at matwork and weardown holds to try to get them set up for some sort of submission hold. Mando was clearly trying to get Garvin set up for the Gory Special, while Garvin kept working over Guerrero's legs. At first, it seemed like Garvin was going for a Figure Four leglock, but then he flipped Mando over and had him a modified Scorpion hold, similar to the one Bret Hart had been seen using. Whatever it was, it was effective as, after a struggle, Mando tapped out. In his short time back in PCW, Garvin is proving himself to be a force to be reckoned with. Texas Red vs. Cannonball Grizzly In his efforts to prove himself to the Playboy Club, Cannonball Grizzly certainly took the bull by the horns by attacking Texas Red. Fair play to him, he has acquitted himself well in this feud , with neither man getting a decisive win over the other. Both men were clearly set on being the victor in this match, going all out from the get go. These two battered each other from pillar to post, and it looked like they just might break the ring. At one point, they were slugging it out at ringside, and we might just have another double countouts on our hands. But they both managed to make it just in time to beat the count, and the match continued. At a number of occasions, it seemed like Grizzly might just take it, but when he missed a running splash, Texas Red smelled blood and got set to take him out. He dragged Grizzly to his feet and looked for a moment like he was contemplating using his dreaded Heart Punch. But Red shook it off and instead levelled him with a standing clothesline. He then went up top, walked the ropes and then came off with a crushing elbow drop. Texas Red came out on top in an epic struggle. John Tenta vs. Buddy Rose With Ed Wiskowski on the wrong end of a slugfest with Fit Finlay the night before and his protégé Cannonball Grizzly suffering a grueling loss to Texas Red, Buddy Rose was coming out alone and clearly not happy about it. One can't blame him, given his opponent. Big John Tenta has been a dominant force ever since his debut, and it was all Rose could do to keep in the match. He went to his devious bag of tricks ever chance he could, but Tenta was relentless and tossed Rose around the ring every time he got his hands on him. It seemed like Rose might just be able to steal the match when he reached into his trunks and pulled out a set of brass knucks. But, with shocking quickness, Tenta bowled him over with a running avalanche. Tenta then hit the Big Quake and it was all over. After going 0-3 for Vegas Vengeance, the Playboy Club are going to need to figure out a way to regroup. Brian Pillman vs. Gary Young Brian Pillman has been going through quite the wringer of late. After a grinding series of matches with Big Bubba Rogers followed by a tough battle with the Midnight Express, Pillman was coming into Vegas Vengeance in a similar condition to his Snowbirds partner Owen Hart. But , fitting to the name of the event, Pillman was out for Vengeance, after what Young had done to his partner, and was not going to cut Young any slack at all. Pillman blistered Young's chest with chops and attacked him with a white hot intensity. But Young was fired up by his training and faith in his leader, Mr. Bob Backlund, and was equally fixated on making him proud. The result was an incredibly tense battle, with neither man looking to give in. Young was finally able to tip the scales in his favour when he ducked under a flying clothesline from Pillman. Young pulled him up and hit the DDT, and that was that. I heartbreaking loss for Pillman, but he put in a courageous effort and got a round of applause from the fans as he left the ring. Moondog Lonnie Mayne Memorial Tag Team Tournament Semi-Final Match : Black Gold (Steve Blackman & Shane Douglas) vs. Hector & Eddie Guerrero The big tournament continues with the first semi final match. The Guerreros had beaten on duo of Six Man Army members the night before, and seemed confident that they could pull it off again. But Blackman and Douglas had something to prove, and were not about to be taken lightly. While they might have wanted to conserve their energy for the next round of the tournament, but both teams were heedless of that, cutting a wicked pace throughout the match. Both sides executed a lot of fast tags and combination moves, but it ended up being a belly to back suplex by Douglas on Eddie that spelled the difference. Black Gold had earned themselves a place in the finals. Billy Jack Haynes vs. Jack Victory This would be another match where one of the competitors had vengeance on his mind. Billy Jack had made his return to PCW at Aloha Spectacular, but his homecoming was spoiled by Jack Victory and Mr. Bob Backlund. His manager, Sunshine, was staring daggers at Backlund throughout the match, but the leader of the Knights Templar stayed in his corner and was focused on his man in the ring. Victory was certainly no pushover, but Haynes was out for blood and had a distinct edge to every move he executed on him. When Haynes locked Victory in the Full Nelson , it seemed to be the end. But out of nowhere, someone sprang into the ring and superkicked Haynes in the back of the head, breaking up the hold. The ref called for the DQ and the man put the boots to Billy Jack, soon joined by Victory. It was "Hollywood" John Tatum! Tatum and Victory continued their attack until Ron Garvin rushed out to the ring. The Knights Templar retreated and Garvin helped Billy Jack to his feet, but Haynes had been knocked for a loop. If Tatum has thrown his lot in with the Knights Templar, they have just gotten even more dangerous. Moondog Lonnie Mayne Memorial Tag Team Tournament Semi-Final Match : The Hart Foundation vs. The Bomb Squad (Chris Candido & Al Snow) The last match of the tournament semi-finals would pit the former Golden State Tag Team Champs against another young team looking to make their mark in the Bomb Squad. Like the rest of the Knights Templar, the Bomb Squad were inspired by their mentor Mr. Bob Backlund, and this gave them considerable vigor throughout the match. The Harts were looking to fight their way back into contention for one of the Tag Team Titles, and this led to a gripping match that had the fans on the edge of their seats. Perhaps inspired Ron Garvin's use of the Scorpion Hold earlier in the match, Bret got Candido set up for his own variation on the hold. But Snow had backdropped Neidhart out of the ring, and Bret didn't see him coming up from behind. Snow bulldogged the Hitman out of the hold and got the one two three. So now the finals would be between two sets of up and comers, the Bomb Squad and Black Gold. Ron Simmons vs. Maxx Payne A couple of months ago, Maxx Payne pulled off the seeming impossible feat of taking Ron Simmons out of action. True, he had to ambush him to pull it off, but Ron Simmons seemed unstoppable until the Payne Killer dislocated his shoulder and put him on the bench. Since his return, Simmons has been dead set on getting revenge on Payne, but thus far, their battles have been inconclusive. Simmons was clearly raring to go before the match got started, while Payne was impassive, trying to stare down the All American. Clearly, neither man was intimidate by the other and tore into each other once the bell rang. Payne was doing everything he could to reinjure the shoulder, wrenching Simmons' arm five ways from Sunday. But Simmons has worked hard on his rehab, and while he was still clearly favoring his other arm, his power offense was still effective. After a titanic struggle, Simmons was able to catch Payne coming off the ropes and drive him into the mat with a devastating Spinebuster Slam. That took the wind out of Payne's sales, and Simmons got the three count, finally avenging the earlier attack. Golden State Tag Team Title : Badd Company © vs. Tabarnak De Team (Big Jos Leduc & Pierre Carl Ouellet) Ever since their arrival in Pacific Coast Wrestling, the rough and tumble duo of veteran Big Jos Leduc and rookie Pierre Carl Oullet have made a big impression. After undergoing a trial by fire in a feud with the Sheepherders, they emerged triumphant at Aloha Spectacular and have earned a shot at the Golden State Tag Team Titles. Champs Badd Company seemed flummoxed as to what to do with them. Hit and run tactics didn't seem to work, as Ouellet was too quick to dodge. Trying to get counted out failed when TDT simply chased them back into the ring. Even getting dirty by busting Leduc open by ramming his head into the turnbuckle post only served to enrage the powerful French Canadian. It seemed like pure luck when Tanaka was able to duck under a clothesline by Ouellet and catch him with a cartwheel kick to the top of the head. Diamond was just barely able to hold off Leduc while Tanaka got the three count. Badd Company had just barely escaped with the titles by the skin of their teeth, but there is no way that they are done with TDT. Tournament Final to crown the first ever Pacific Submission Champion : Dan Severn vs. Jeff Jarrett After an intense tournament over the past few weeks, the finals would see partners forced to do battle to become the first ever Pacific Submission Champion. Severn and Jarrett gave each other a nod of acknowledgement during the ring introductions, but otherwise the two men were all business as the ring began. Any element of friendship certainly went out the window when they went to tie up and Severn sent Jarrett flying across the ring with a judo throw. Jarrett quickly recovered, and when they went to tie up again, Jarrett hit a dropkick to Severn's leg that sent him to the mat. Jarrett spent much of the match wearing down Severn's legs to set up his Figure Four, but Severn would frequently counter by getting Jarrett in his own punishing ankle and leglocks. It seemed like Jeff was on the verge of pulling off an upset as he nearly had Severn in the Figure Four in the middle of the ring. But Severn was able to flip him over and trap him in an Indian Deathlock. Jarrett fought like a lion to try to reach the ropes and break the hold. But Severn was too powerful and the hold was cinched in too deep. Jarrett had to tap out and give up the match. The moment Severn heard that Jarrett had given up, he released the hold and helped his friend back to his feet. The two partners embraced in the ring and Jarrett put the belt around Severn's waist before raising his hand in victory. Severn was now the Submission Champion and God knows what it will take to take the title away from him. Barry Windham & Konnan vs. One Man Gang & ?? ?? This match was perhaps the most intriguing one of the whole event for a variety of reasons, not he least of which was the fact that even the One Man Gang knew who his partner would be. The Brigade men were cautious coming to the ring, taking time to shake hands with the fans but frequently looking over their shoulders. Gang and Gary Hart seemed well pleased as they headed out to the ring, confident that whatever card they had up their sleeve would turn out to be an ace. Then, all eyes turned to the ring curtain. No music, no special effects, just a spotlight on the door as it opened and out stepped …. NICK BOCKWINKEL!!!!! Jaws dropped around the arena as the legendary wrestler strode out to the ring with his customary swagger and self confidence. Bockwinkel had gotten his start on the west coast, but for a long time had been mostly associated with the AWA, and absolutely nobody had predicted that he would be the mystery partner. His appearance produced hoots of triumphant laughter in Gang and Gary Hart, who clapped each other on the back in self congratulation. Windham and Konan, on the other hand, went from wariness to concern , quickly discussing what to do next. Bockwinkel gave a curt nod to Gang and Hart before taking his place on the ring apron and the match began. And there he stayed for the early part of the match, content to let the big 747 do the bulk of the heavy lifting. True to his word, Gang was content to handle things on his own, and Windham and Konnan struggled to make a dent in the big man. Gang battered the two men black and blue, but little by little, they were able to slowly wear him down. And that's when Bockwinkel chose to strike. He tagged himself in and swiftly showed the skill and polish that were the trademarks of his career. Windham and Konnan did their best, but had taken so much damage that the 50 something veteran was able to run rings around them. When he gave a vicious piledriver on Konnan, Windham was not able to make it in time to break it up, and Bockwinkel and One Man Gang had pulled it off. Bockwinkel, in the space of one match, had rocketed right to the top of the PCW rankings. Moondog Lonnie Mayne Memorial Tag Team Tournament Final Match : Black Gold (Steve Blackman & Shane Douglas) vs. The Bomb Squad (Chris Candido & Al Snow) The previous match would be hard to top, but the Moondog Lonnie Mayne Memorial Tag Team Tournament is the crowning jewel of the Vegas Vengeance event, and the finals had everyone's attention. With the array of teams entered in this year's tournament, it was perhaps a bit of a surprise that the finalists would be such young duos, but both Black Gold and the Bomb Squad had fought hard to earn their spot in the finals, and the match would be a display of the new generation of young tag wrestlers in PCW. The Bomb Squad were accompanied by their mentor, Mr. Bob Backlund, while Black Gold were led by the General of the Army, Leo Burke. They were certainly present for support and advice, but otherwise did not get involved in the match. The result was a tag classic, with both teams keen to prove their worth and win the half million dollar prize. The fans were at the edge of their seats, with near fall after near fall and each team kept upping their game to try to come out on top. The Bomb Squad looked to take the match with the Detonator, with Snow setting Douglas up for the Wheelbarrow Suplex and Candido going up top for a flying legdrop. But Blackman came charging in with a running knee strike to Snow's head that knocked him sparko. He then clotheslined Candido off the top tope, sending him plummeting to the floor. Douglas then wrapped Snow up with a double leg cradle. One … two … THREE!!! The winners of the 1987 Moondog Lonnie Mayne Memorial Tag Team Tournament were Black Gold. As Mr. Bob Backlund put his arms around the shoulders of his men and led them from the ring, Leo Burke joined his men in the ring to celebrate their victory. The fans were jubilant as Vegas Vengeance 1987 came to a close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LowBlowPodcast Posted March 25, 2022 Report Share Posted March 25, 2022 BOCK! He is here and by golly he has made his presence known. The eventual Barry v Bock match is going to be something to really get excited about. He has the credibility that is second to few and he can only raise the world around him. Pillman's loss hurt me... in my heart... I want to see him on top of the world but he has a lot of ground to gain! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Autistic Dragon Posted March 25, 2022 Report Share Posted March 25, 2022 Garvin finds a lucky cloverleaf to bring him victory in the opener. Red tames the Grizzly....without the heart punch. Tenta gets a cathartic win over Rose. Young makes his teacher proud. Black Gold avenge their fallen teammates in route to the finals. Tatum returns to help his old friend Victory. Though i wouldn't have pegged him as Mr Backlund's type of charge. The Bomb Squad advance past The Foundation! Simmons gets some well deserved payback on Payne. Vegas has NOT been kind to the Crazy Gang. Badd Company escape with the gold...barely. Severn really was the obvious choice for the first ever Submission champion. Glad Jarrett is taking it well. And OMG's mystery partner is *drumroll* NICK GODDAMN BOCKWINKEL! He certainly made an impact on his first night. Black Gold certainly strikes gold as they win half a million dollars. Congratulations to them, (also there's a typo where you list the Bomb Squad as the winners) PCW may not visit Sin City often but they always make it count.

spaldoni Posted March 26, 2022 Report Share Posted March 26, 2022 Vegas! Here we go! I know Eddie was pretty pleased getting one over on his rival to advance. Finlay gets the better of Easy Ed to get his vengeance. and it Black Gold upset former champs Fuchi and Hito to advance. The Big Cat makes his impressive presence known with that win over Burke. Hennig puts his brains to use and it pays off. Although, he's going to have a furious Humungous coming after him. The crazy and wild youngsters go at it with Sabu edging out Jack. British Steel's woes continue as the Bomb Squad advance. Cornette and Bubba made a big mistake underestimating St. Clair. St. Clair's forearm blast gives him the c.o. win and I'm sure a rematch. Hart Foundation win the tag chess match over the Crazy Gang. Owen finds out the hard way, you have to be 100% going against Backlund. Backlund takes advantage and walks out CA champ. I'm all for another Backlund reign. I've got to hand it to them, the Midnights always find a way to keep their titles. Great way to end Night 1. Night 2, let's do this! Garvin kicks things off with an impressive win over Mando. In an anticipated battle of the big men, Texas Red gets his vengeance with a tough win over Grizzly. Hey, at least Red spared him the heart punch. Well, the Playboy Club defiantly weren't lucky in Vegas. The fans were as they got to see Rose get Quaked! Pillman put up one heck of a fight but Young stops him with the DDT. Oh man, Black Gold scores another upset, this time over the Guerreros! Black Gold are in the finals. NO Way! Victory and Tatum are together again! Watch out! Big time upset as the Bomb Squad advances over the Hart Foundation. I did not see this finals match up coming but I know these young teams will deliver. Simmons gets his vengeance with a dominating finish over Payne. TDT gives Badd Co. more than they bargain for. However, Badd Co. pulls off a sweet finish to show why they're the champs. Props to young Jarrett for hanging tough but in the end this is Severn's domain. You're right, who can take the title from the Beast? YES!!!!!! Bock is here! OMG does the damage and Bock puts his legendary skills to use. A Windham vs. Bock series could be one of the game's best ever! The finals have arrived and these 2 young teams put it all out there. Black Gold wins it all! However, Bomb Squad also leave as stars. Great match! Another outstanding Pacific supercard in the books! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rainmakerrtv Posted March 31, 2022 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2022 Pacific Wrestling Showcase from the Victoria Memorial Arena, Victoria, on ESPN / TSN, April 1st Dingo Warrior vs. Masanobu Fuchi When Dingo Warrior first arrived in PCW, he went on an incredible streak of dominance, barreling over everyone in his path. That momentum came to a screeching halt at Aloha Spectacular when Mr. Hito knocked him out of the ring, giving him a countout loss that ended his unbeaten streak. Dingo's quest for revenge was stymied by the return of Hito's partner, Masanobu Fuchi. Dingo was clearly looking to take out his frustrations on Fuchi, but this match had a much different tone than his past matches. Instead of storming the ring as he normally does, he slowly walked out and stared daggers at Fuchi, only taking a moment to give a flex pose when his name was introduced. Fuchi approached him slowly, attempting a few kicks but Dingo didn't flinch. Fuchi then tried to lock up and go for a single arm throw, but it was like trying to move a stone wall. Dingo then seized Fuchi and slammed him hard to the mat. Dingo then proceeded to take apart Fuchi, devastating him with a series of power moves before hitting his press slam and running splash combo for the decisive win. If I were Mr. Hito, I would start looking over my shoulder, because Dingo Warrior won't be satisfied until he has him in his sights. Art Barr & Cactus Jack vs. Chavo & Eddie Guerrero Art Barr and Eddie Guerrero have been battling up and down the West Coast ever since their arrival in PCW. The Guerreros came out on top in their last match, a tag match at Vegas Vengeance. This time, the partners changed, with Cactus Jack and Chavo Guerrero replacing US Steel and Hector, and the result was a drastically different match. Unlike US Steel and Leo Burke, Cactus had no interest in trying to rein in Art Barr and get him under control. If anything, Cactus seemed to spur Art to be even more reckless, which caught the Guerreros off guard. Cactus wound up sending both himself and Chavo out of the ring with the Cactus Clothesline, and Art came charging across the ring and dove on top of them. Eddie joined the fray, and both teams ended up being counted out. Out of nowhere, the man from Truth Or Consequences has sent this feud spiraling into a chaotic new direction. Curt Hennig vs. Rick Gantner Curt Hennig is coming in on a major high, having defeated the terrifying Lord Humongous at Vegas Vengeance. He kept up that momentum by going all out against one half of the Wild Bulls. Although Rick Gantner did what he could to try to bully Hennig, with the support of the Bullpen (the Wild Bulls loyal section of fans) behind him, Hennig effectively used his speed and skill to get the better of him. After a precision dropkick sent Gantner to the mat, Hennig picked him up and executed the cradle suplex for the one two three. It looks like the sky is the limit for this talented second generation wrestler. Jack Victory & John Tatum vs. John Kenney & Rory Freeman John Tatum made a shocking return to Pacific Coast Wrestling at Vegas Vengeance, attacking Billy Jack Haynes and casting in his lot with the Knights Templar. Tatum seems like an unlikely prospect for Mr. Bob Backlund's acolytes, but he joined his old friend Jack Victory and was wearing the Knights' trademark black and silver gear. Tatum and Victory slid into their old team habits with ease, rolling right over Kenney and Freeman before Tatum Superkicked Freeman into a Victory-Plex to put an end to the match. Tatum has wasted no time in integrating himself into the Knights. Jeff Jarrett vs. Chris Candido Both of these competitors came off appearances in tournament finals at Vegas Vengeance. Jarrett had faced is best friend Dan Severn in the match to decide the first Submission Champion, while Candido made it all the way to way to the last match in the Moondog Lonnie Mayne Memorial Tag Team Tournament. While both men came out on the short end of their matches, they were very determined to show that they still had what it takes. Candido come out accompanied by his mentor Mr. Bob Backlund, who had his trademark look of stern disdain throughout the match. It increased in scorn when Jarrett, after a fast paced battle, was able to trap Candido in the Figure Four Leglock and force him to tap out. Backlund was fuming as he led his man away from the ring, but Jarrett soaked up the cheers of the crowd. Interview : Frank Bonnema stands in the ring Bonnema : Ladies and gentlemen, my next guest shocked a lot of people when he appeared at Vegas Vengeance … former world champion Nick Bockwinkel! A decidedly mixed reaction as Bockwinkel comes out. Plenty of boos, of course, which come as no surprise after his long career as one of the premier villains in wrestling. But a scattering of cheer from those who still respect his considerable legacy as one of the greatest , canniest wrestlers ever to grace ring. He did seem to pay any mind to either faction, maintaining his traditional air of cocksure arrogance as he joined Frank Bonnema. Bonnema : Well, Nick Bockwinkel, you were certainly the last person anyone to be the One Man Gang's mystery partner at Vegas Vengeance. In fact, you haven't worked here on the West Coast in years. What brings you back. Bockwinkel : Well, Frank Bonnema, it is true I haven't worked here in quite some time. But I did get my start wrestling in California, and I dominated here before going on the conquer the world. I went on be World Champion multiple times, and prove myself to be the greatest wrestler of all time. It has been a glorious run, but it can only go on for so long. I can see the end of the road on the horizon, so where better to finish up than close to my home town of Beverly Hills ? Closer to my own type of people, it's worth having to tolerate the cretinous humanoid element of the fans. (Cue the fans booing) And what better way the cap my magnificent career than as Pacific Heavyweight Champion? Bonnema : Wait, are you saying you are challenging for Barry Windham's Heavyweight Title? Even with your considerable credentials, you have only just arrived in PCW! There is a long list of contenders ahead of you. Bockwinkel : Quite true. But Mister Windham has surrounded himself with a pack of young pups who call themselves the Brigade. They think they are quite something. Well, let them face me, one by one. Let them find out the true value of experience and intelligence. And once I have sent all of them running back to their mothers' laps, once I have defeated them all, there will be no denying my title shot. It will be you and me, Barry Windham. And after I run rings around you, your Heavyweight Title will be mine! Konnan vs. Lord Humongous At Vegas Vengeance, Lord Humongous suffered a loss at the hands of Curt Hennig . You could tell that did not go over well with the man in the hockey mask, as he was clearly boiling mad as he came out to the ring. He was looking to take out his frustrations on the first person to get in his way, and if that person was a member of the Brigade, so much for the better. It was into this undesirable situation that Konnan found himself placed. Full credit to him, he gave a good accounting of himself. But Lord Humongous came at him like a freight train, and it was only a matter of time before he got what he wanted. He set up Konnan up for what looked like it would be a piledriver, but instead flattened him back first on the mat, a new move from Japan known as the Power Bomb. He did it with such force that it knocked Konnan unconscious, and Lord Humongous didn't even bother to cover him, instead putting his foot on his chest while the ref counted to three. If I were any member of the Brigade, I would be giving Lord Humongous a very wide berth indeed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Autistic Dragon Posted March 31, 2022 Report Share Posted March 31, 2022 Dingo proves capable of learning his lesson. But will it help against Hito? As if the Barr/Eddie feud couldn't get any wilder, now Cactus Jack is involved! Hennig keeps up the momentum with a win over a Wild Bull. Tatum surprisingly gels with the Knights. Though his old buddy Victory is surely helping. Jarrett rebounds with a win but may have earned the ire of Mr Bob Backlund. Aw that Bockwinkel, So classy...yet such a dick. Humongous dissolves any question of his continued dominance by debuting the Powerbomb! With that in his arsenal, he may go from lord of the wasteland to being the MASTER & RULER of the world!

rainmakerrtv Posted April 1, 2022 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2022 Pacific Coast Wrestling show from the Pacific Coliseum, Vancouver on Pacific Super Cards on ESPN / TSN , April 2nd Billy Jack Haynes & Texas Red vs. The Wild Bulls (Ed & Rick Gantner) As one could imagine, these four big broncos tore up the ring in a match that ended when Billy Jack was able to hit the shoulder breaker on big Rick Gantner for the win. Vic Steamboat vs. "Mean" Mike Miller This fight went back and forth until Steamboat attempted a backslide, which Miller was able to block and counter with an over the shoulder neckbreaker to pull out the victory. British Steel (Steven Regal & Robbie Brookside) vs. The Bomb Squad (Chris Candido & Al Snow) British Steel are clearly getting frustrated with their recent run of bad luck, as shown is Regal getting several warnings to release chokeholds during the match. There was some clear tension between Regal and Brookside, and the Bomb Squad capitalized on this, hitting the Detonator (wheelbarrow suplex by Snow into a flying legdrop by Candido) on Brookside, continuing their momentum from Vegas Vengeance. There seemed to be some fairly tense discussions between Regal and Brookside after the match. Fit Finlay , John Tenta & Ron Garvin vs. Buddy Rose, Ed Wiskowski & Cannonball Grizzly The Playboy Club pulled out a plethora of dirty tricks in the match, but there was no stopping Tenta as he hit the Big Quake on Grizzly. Konnan vs. Nick Bockwinkel Still battered from his recent match with Lord Humongous, Konnan was easy prey for Bockwinkel, who tormented him like a cat with a mouse before forcing him to tap out to the Figure Four Leglock. Bret Hart vs. Hector Guerrero A long and intense bout that wound up becoming a duel of submission holds, with Bret finally getting Hector to tap out to the modified Scorpion Leglock that he calls the Sharpshooter. Pacific Heavyweight Title Match : Barry Windham © vs. One Man Gang A bruising battle between two big heavyweights that Windham won by DQ when Gang hit him with his chain. The big 747 did some real damage until Konnan, still in pain from his earlier match, hobbled out swinging a chair to run him and Gary Hart off.

Autistic Dragon Posted April 1, 2022 Report Share Posted April 1, 2022 Red & Haynes corral the Bulls. Miller reminds everyone why he leads the Crazy Gang. Regal is starting to crack under the strain of this losing streak. Tenta keeps the momentum going with a pin on Grizzly. Bock claims his first win against Windham's teammates. Though I imagine he'll have a tougher time when he faces a better rested member. Hart excellently executes Hector. OMG & Windham get it on earlier than expected & the champ is worse off for it.

rainmakerrtv Posted April 2, 2022 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2022 Pacific Coast Wrestling show from the Kelowna Memorial Arena, Kelowna, April 3rd Owen Hart & Brian Pillman vs. Jack Victory & John Tatum Owen was clearly still feeling the effects of his Vegas Vengeance match with Mr. Bob Backlund, as despite an heroic effort, he went down to a Superkick from Tatum into a Victory-Plex from Victory Brian Adams vs. Bob Orton Determined to avenge his best friend Vic Steamboat's earlier loss at the hands of the Crazy Gang, Adams flattened Orton with a running boot to the chest to get the win Jim Neidhart vs. Curtis Hughes In a showdown between two former football players, the Big Cat pinned the Anvil after the Cat's Claw (modified side slam onto the knee) Tabarnak De Team (Big Jos Leduc & Pierre Carl Ouellet) & Dingo Warrior vs. Badd Company & Mr. Hito In a match where Dingo was constantly going after Hito, it was Ouellet who got the pinfall after a running senton on Paul Diamond California Title Match : Bob Backlund © vs. Jeff Jarrett After a long and intense battle, Backlund was able to wrap up Jarrett with the Backlund Bridge to successfully defend his newly won California Title. Backlund continued to glower at Jarrett after the match, but did nothing but stare at him until he left the ring. Black Gold (Steve Blackman & Shane Douglas) & US Steel vs. The Midnight Express & Big Bubba Rogers With their good friend and Army comrade US Steel holding off Big Bubba, Black Gold pulled off a major upset when Blackman dodged a Savate Kick from Lane, then knocked out Sweet Stan with a leaping knee strike to the head.

Autistic Dragon Posted April 2, 2022 Report Share Posted April 2, 2022 Owen continues to show heart against the Knights Templar. Adams scores the Rainbow Warriors first win over the Crazy Gang. Hughes beats the Anvil in what must've been a bruising affair. TDT & Dingo are to wild a trio for Gary Hart International. Jarrett apparently hasn't earned Mr Backlund's respect. Between their tournament win & the result of this six man, Black Gold have an undeniable claim on a tag title match. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spaldoni Posted April 2, 2022 Report Share Posted April 2, 2022 Dingo Warrior is more focused than ever. Just ask Fuchi. Cactus adds some fire to Barr. This could be a game changer for Barr in his feud with Eddie. Nice shout out to the Bullpen. However, Hennig manages to take down Gantner. Man, it's so good seeing Tatum and Victory back together. Jarrett rises the ladder with a nice win over Candido. Bock is back and wants to take down the Brigade one by one until he gets a shot at Windham. WOW! Konnan felt the wrath of Humongous! Vancouver, Billy Jack and Texas Red prove to be a powerhouse team by beating the Wild Bulls. Looks like trouble is brewing with British Steel. Tenta is really getting the best of the Playboy Club. Bock is one step closer to Windham. Rough week for Konnan. Bret introduces the Sharpshooter during a classic with Hector. In the anticipated title bout, Windham gets the DQ win but OMG does the damage. Kelowna, Tatum and Victory are for real! Big win. Orton gets the wind taken out of him by Adams. Big Cat beats the Anvil in a power match up. TDT keeps getting the better of Badd Co. but can they take their titles? Jarrett gives Backlund a tough match but experience wins this one. Black Gold keeps their red hot momentum going by upsetting the Midnights. Also looking forward to a Bubba/Steel match. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
