rainmakerrtv Posted August 5, 2022 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2022 Pacific Coast Wrestling show from the Kelowna Memorial Arena, Kelowna, July 31st John Tenta vs. Cannonball Grizzly The evening kicked off with a bruising battle of two super heavyweights that ended when Tenta came roaring out of the corner to take down Grizzly with a clothesline, then followed up with the Big Quake to get a win that greatly pleased the Canadian fans Steven Regal vs. Buddy Rose Regal gave quite a battle to Rose but the veteran cunning of the Playboy spelled the difference when he lured Regal into attempting a forearm smash, which Rose dodged then caught him with the Inside Out Backbreaker to pull out the victory Ron Simmons, Dingo Warrior & Konnan vs. Sid Vicious, Curtis Hughes & Rick Gantner Sid was so focused on brawling with Konnan that he failed to notice the tag made to Ron Simmons, who blindsided the big man with a running spear for the win US Steel vs. Ed Gantner While Steel put in a valiant effort, the big Bull would not be denied and Gantner took the match with the Bull Hammer (running forearm smash to the face) Pacific Light Heavyweight Title Match : Black Tiger © vs. Brian Pillman Coming off his tag victory the night before, Pillman was determined that the Light Heavyweight Title would be his. Black Tiger was equally determined to maintain his hold on the title, and the result was a gripping showdown of Human Chess that wound up going to a 30 minute time limit draw. The Rainbow Warriors (Vic Steamboat & Brian Adams) vs. The Midnight Express A hotly contested tag match where Stan Lane blindsided Steamboat with a Savate Kick to the back of the head that set him up to be pinned by Bobby Eaton Pacific Tag Team Title Match : Black Gold (Steve Blackman & Shane Douglas) © vs. Badd Company Oddly, Badd Company came out without their manager Gary Hart. They wrestled a fairly clean match and gave a considerable challenge before Douglas took down Paul Diamond with a belly to belly suplex. Badd Company shook hands with the champions after the match.

Autistic Dragon Posted August 5, 2022 Report Share Posted August 5, 2022 Tenta wins the clash of the behemoths. Rose outsmarts Regal leading to a victory. Vicious obsession with Konnan costs his team. US Steel can't withstand the Bill Hammer. BT & Pillman go the distance. Rematch! The MNE reach into their bag of tricks to defeat The Warriors. Do I sense a rift developing between Badd Company & Gary Hart? Either way it seems they've decided to pull back on the rule breaking.

spaldoni Posted August 7, 2022 Report Share Posted August 7, 2022 Furnas is definatley getting noticed. Poor Anvil just can't win over Young. Surprise moment of the night as the Guerreros align with the Army. Wild Things better get ready. Akira's taking on tougher competition and still getting the wins. Gold is in this man's future. St. Clair's a smart man and doesn't take any chances with the young and wild Cactus Jack. Vancouver, Owen gets the fans on their feet with a moonsault. Dean scores a big win over Mando. Thank goodness Billy Jack and Red were there because who knows what OMG and Payne would've done to Windham. British Steel have just earned themselves a title match. WOW! Backlund vs. Hart go at it in a show stealing match. Backlund's Pacific run has been amazing. Windham gets some payback and Billy Jack scores another fall on Bock, giving him serious momentum for their inevitable title match. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spaldoni Posted August 7, 2022 Report Share Posted August 7, 2022 Kelowna, Evening gets going in a huge way between 2 super heavyweights. Tenta gets the crowd pleasing win. Buddy Rose proves he's still the man. Love that visual of Simmons spearing Sid. Ed Gantner is proving to be a singles contender. Once again, the LHW match steals the show. Lane was always good with the Savate kick from behind. No Gary Hart and a handshake after the match. Looks like Badd Co. are changing their ways. I would buy a ticket to Firestorm just for those 2 matches alone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rainmakerrtv Posted August 11, 2022 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2022 Pacific Wrestling Showcase from the Portland Sports Arena, Portland , on ESPN / TSN, August 5th Leo Burke & Chavo Guerrero vs. Art Barr & Eddie Guerrero Last week, a truce was declared between the Army and the Guerrero Brothers as they agreed to work together to try to tame the Wild Things. With Leo Burke and Chavo Guerrero teaming up tonight, they still seemed reluctant to do battle with their former charges. Barr and Eddie had no such reservations, and went at it hard with the new alliance. After a while , though, the veteran instincts of the older wrestlers kicked in and they took control of the match. Burke managed to lock Eddie in the Sleeper Hold while Chavo held off Art, but this turned out to be the prompt for Cactus Jack and Sabu to charge out to the ring and break up the hold. As the ref called for the DQ, the Wild Things continued their attack on Burke and Chavo, but the moment that Mando and Hector Guerrero ran out to even the sides, the Wild Things bailed out of the ring. If the Burke and his new friends are hoping to rein in their former allies, it doesn't look like the Wild Things are keen to listen. Barry Windham vs. Maxx Payne Windham has been engaged in a long, brutal feud with another big man, the One Man Gang, and was not about to be intimidated by the towering Maxx Payne. Last week in Vancouver, his match with Payne was interrupted by an attack from Gang, but with OMG not at the arena this week, he was looking for revenge for that double team. That said, Payne seemed to feel he had nothing to prove, and tore into the former Pacific Heavyweight champ with a vicious fury. The two gladiators slugged it out, with neither man giving an inch until Windham was finally able to put Payne down for good with a running Bulldog Headlock. A hard fought victory but one that sends a message from Windham to the Big 747. Owen Hart vs. Jim Neidhart Ever since he turned on them, Jim Neidhart has been in various tag matches against the members of the Hart Family but this would be the first time he would face off in a one on one match. He was squaring off with Owen Hart, the youngest of the family, and it was a tense battle between the toughness of the Anvil and the resilience of Owen. The two did battle until Owen, sensing he needed to do something more high impact to take down Neidhart, went to the top rope. Neidhart had spotted that and seemed to be readying some sort of counter, but we will never know for sure as Gary Young came racing out and knocked Owen off the top rope. The ref called for the DQ and Bret Hart and Brian Pillman ran out to protect their fallen partner. On the way back to the locker room, Neidhart was heard arguing with Young that he had the situation well in hand and his interference was not welcome, but Young seemed completely disinterested in listening to anything he had to say. Akira Maeda vs. Dean Malenko Ever since last week, Gary Hart has started showing a keen interest in the members of the Pride, and could be seen giving some sort of instructions to his man Maeda before the match. Whatever they were, they certainly weren't to take it easy on him, as Maeda laced into Malenko with vicious kicks throughout the match. Hard hitting though they were, Malenko gutted out the attack and was able to counter with various takedowns that led to leglocks where Maeda had to struggle to escape. The two played the proverbial game of human chess until Maeda was ultimately able to execute a Capture Suplex and pin the younger Malenko's shoulders to the mat. After the match, Maeda helped Malenko to his feet and shook his hand, while Gary Hart whispered something in Dean's ear. Whatever it was, Malenko seemed to be pondering it as the two sides separately left the ring. Dan Severn & Jeff Jarrett vs. Badd Company Speaking of Gary Hart, once again he was absent from the corner of Badd Company in their match with PCW's Odd Couple. Tanaka and Diamond kept up their recent habits of clean cut wrestling and gave a considerable challenge to Severn and Jarrett before Severn was able to trap Tanaka in the Body Scissors Sleeper for the submission win. Post match, Tanaka and Diamond shook hands with Jarrett and Severn, continuing their trend of atypically gentlemanly behaviour. Billy Jack Haynes, Texas Red & The Rainbow Warriors (Vic Steamboat & Brian Adams) vs. Nick Bockwinkel, Big Bubba Rogers & The Midnight Express http://www.onlineworldofwrestling.com/pictures/v/vicsteamboat/03.jpg With several pinfalls in recent tag matches over Nick Bockwinkel, Billy Jack is riding high and eagerly took the opportunity to get in the ring with him again. Knowing that he was going to have to defend his title against Haynes at Phoenix Firestorm, Bockwinkel did everything he could to avoid getting involved in the match, taking advantage of having Camp Cornette on his team. With Big Bubba blocking for him and the Midnight Express spreading chaos wherever they went, Bockwinkel bided his time until Haynes had soaked up what he felt was enough damage . That's when the champ struck, doing what he could to break down the big man from the North West. He failed to account for how quickly Billy Jack could recover, and it wasn't long before Haynes started unloading with big lefts and rights. Jim Cornette tried to turn the tide by getting up on the ring apron to toss in his tennis racquet, but Billy Jack whirled around and grabbed Cornette by the throat. While Cornette immediately started panicking and pleading, Bockwinkel snuck up behind and executed a Schoolboy Rollup , grabbing a fistful of trunks to get a leveraged pin. A dirty victory, but Bockwinkel can't take too much pleasure in it, knowing he will have no one else to protect him from Billy Jack in a few weeks.

Autistic Dragon Posted August 11, 2022 Report Share Posted August 11, 2022 The Army & Los Guerreros attempt to subdue the Wild Things is off to a rocky start. Windham gets payback on Payne for last week. Young costs Neidhart a win, I wonder what Mr Backlund will have to say about this. Hart seems to make a play towards the Pride.... And just in time as he seems to have given up on his current(?) tag team. Bockwinkel finally gets a pin on Haynes but he won't have Cornette to help in Phoenix.

Scarlet-Left Posted August 11, 2022 Report Share Posted August 11, 2022 Nice bit of chaos to kick off the show! Great win in a big man contest for Barry Windham! Cool little bit of tension there between Jim Neidhart and Gary Young. Love everything that's happening here with the Harts! Akira Maeda versus Dean Malenko is such a neat match to put on! Intriguing to see Gary Hart fail to support Badd Company! Amazing six-man main event! Loved the finish! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rainmakerrtv Posted August 12, 2022 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2022 Pacific Coast Wrestling show from the Portland Memorial Coliseum , Portland , on Pacific Super Cards on ESPN / TSN, August 6th Ron Garvin & John Tenta vs. Cannonball Grizzly & Ed Wiskowski Garvin and Tenta continued their war with the Playboy Club with Garvin knocking out Wiskowski with the Hands Of Stone Punch Konnan vs. Doug Furnas Two of the young guns of PCW had a power battle with Furnas blocking an attempted Implant DDT by Konnan and countering with a bridging back suplex for the win Coast 2 Coast (John Tatum & Jack Victory) vs. Art Barr & Eddie Guerrero Initially, all four members of the Wild Things came out together, but the ref ordered Cactus Jack and Sabu to the back and threatened them with a fine if they interfered in the match. Regardless, Art and Eddie gave a considerable challenge to Coast 2 Coast until Tatum was able to hit the Superkick on Eddie and pull out the win. Fit Finlay vs. Buddy Rose Late in the match, Cannonball Grizzly and Ed Wiskowski came out to interfere, but were intercepted by Ron Garvin and John Tenta. While this distraction was going on, Finlay leveled Rose with a lariat to score the pinfall. Pacific Tag Team Title Match : Black Gold (Steve Blackman & Shane Douglas) © vs. Cactus Jack & Sabu Unlike their mentors, Blackman and Douglas showed no reluctance at all in throwing down with their former friends, and the result was a crazy match that ended then Douglas hit a flying cross body press on Sabu to successfully defend their titles. 2/3 Falls Pacific Heavyweight Title Match : Nick Bockwinkel © vs. Curt Hennig While not quite as lengthy as some of his recent matches, this was still an epic match for Bockwinkel as he faced a challenge from Curt Hennig. Bockwinkel took the first fall with a belly to back suplex. Hennig evened things up when he hit a top rope missile dropkick. It seemed like just might pull it off when he set up Bockwinkel for a cradle suplex, but the champ countered with a small package for the victory.

Autistic Dragon Posted August 12, 2022 Report Share Posted August 12, 2022 Garvin & Tenta tangle with Rose's enforcers with Garvin k.o-ing Easy Ed for the win. Furnas out-muscles Konnan. Coast 2 Coast take a walk on the Wild side. Good thing the ref laid down the law. Finlay has friends to run interference allowing him to get one over on the Playboy Black Gold retain against the deserter Cactus & the unhinged Sabu. Hennig gives his all but Bockwinkel has too many tricks up his sleeve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rainmakerrtv Posted August 13, 2022 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2022 Pacific Coast Wrestling show from McArthur Court, Eugene, August 7th British Steel (Steven Regal & Robbie Brookside) vs. Badd Company Hot on the heels of Golden State Tag Champs TDT, British Steel had a hotly contested match with Badd Company but prevailed when Regal hit the Regal-Plex on Paul Diamond. Mando Guerrero vs. Joe Malenko This was an intense technical showdown with plenty of mat wrestling that went to Malenko when he executed a German Suplex US Steel vs. Gary Young With the new arrival to the Knights Templar of Jim Neidhart, Gary Hart has been out to reestablish himself, and went all out against US Steel. He kept the big man off balance, but Steel was able to rally and ended up crushing Young with the Steeldriver (front slam) Hector Guerrero vs. One Man Gang Hector did the best that he could, but the Big 747 was too much to overcome, and Gang pinned him after a front layout suplex. Bob Backlund & The Bomb Squad (Chris Candido & Al Snow) vs. Brett Hart, Owen Hart & Brian Pillman Mr. Bob Backlund was clearly less than happy with the performance of his Knights Templar and was determined to take command of his men and lead them back to victory. The result was a war with Pillman and the Harts where the momentum of battle swung back and forth but came to a head when Pillman hit the Air Pillman on Chris Candido and pulled out the victory. Backlund looked extremely disgruntled as he led his men away from the ring. Pacific Television Title Match : Tony St. Clair © vs. Curtis Hughes The Cat gave quite a mauling to St. Clair, attacking him with a relentless fury, but "Tough" Tony was able to withstand the assault and shut down Hughes with the Spinning Forearm Smash.

Autistic Dragon Posted August 13, 2022 Report Share Posted August 13, 2022 British Steel prepare to challenge the current Golden State Tag champs by defeating the former title holders. The elder Malenko wins a clinic against Mando. Steel deters Young's attempt to prove himself. Hector falls victim to OMG. Mr Backlund is not impressed by his students performance of late. St Clair goes on a safari & bags himself a big Cat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spaldoni Posted August 14, 2022 Report Share Posted August 14, 2022 The Army and Willd Things are heading into an all out war. Windham gets payback on Payne and sends a strong message to OMG. I think Mr. Backlund needs to have a long counseling session with Young and Anvil. Akiro defeats Dean but Gary Hart sees something here. I wonder what's up with Badd Co. and their recent change in attitude. I'm sure we'll find out. Thanks to Cornette and co., Bock is finally able to sneak a pin on Billy Jack. Portland, As always, nobody gets up from a Garvin punch. Furnas continues his winning ways with a fun win over Konnan. Coast to Coast is rock'n the tag scene! Bad night for the Playboy Club. Cactus and Sabu shine but the champs prevail. Bock vs. Hennig! 2 out of 3 falls! OH YEA! I love this match up. Bock retains after another classic. Eugene, British Steel racks up another win. Badd Co. might be on a losing streak but they seem to be in a happy place. You know you're going to get a technical masterpiece when the names in a match are Guerrero and Malenko. I wonder if that crushing defeat will knock some sense into Young. OMG sends a message of his own to Windham. Is Backlund's patience wearing out? Tough Tony retains in a tough match with Big Cat.

LowBlowPodcast Posted August 15, 2022 Report Share Posted August 15, 2022 You've got some of my faves here and you put them in good spots. Keep the Gang being the 100% baddest dude on the block. I love how the Harts are teaming with Pillman. We also get Hennig and Bock coming again... perhaps it is time for Hennig to shine on the brightest stage of them all.

rainmakerrtv Posted August 17, 2022 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2022 Pacific Wrestling Showcase from the Oakland Alameda County Arena, Oakland, on ESPN / TSN, August 12th Jim Neidhart vs. Pat Tanaka After all of the shenanigans of last week, Mr. Bob Backlund was out to keep a close eye on his newest pupil. He had a deep scowl on his face as Neidhart took on one half of Badd Company, but the Anvil paid close attention to the words of his mentor, taking his cues from every command that was given. He bowled over Tanaka with jarring tackles and slams before putting him in the Camel Clutch, almost immediately forcing the tap out. Neidhart released the hold when Backlund told him to, and while it seemed like he wanted to administer more punishment to Tanaka, he left the ring on the orders of Backlund and followed him dutifully back to the locker room. It looks like Backlund is going to tolerate no more misbehavior from his charges. Akira Maeda vs. Doug Furnas In the past few weeks, Maeda has had some matches with various members of the Pride. While Maeda has come out victorious, his manager Gary Hart has taken a particular interest in the Pride, closely observing the matches. Furnas came out with his fellow Pride members Dean and Joe Malenko, who stood either side of him as Maeda and Hart entered the ring. Furnas and Maeda had a long stair down until Hart came over and said something to him. He and the Malenkos listened intently to whatever it was he was saying … then they shook hands with Hart and Maeda and all left the ring together without a match taking place. Uh oh. Steve Blackman vs. Al Snow http://www.onlineworldofwrestling.com/pictures/s/steveblackman/05.jpg Once again, Mr. Bob Backlund was out to keep an eye on one of the Knight's Templar, as well as Snow's Bomb Squad partner Chris Candido. Snow in turn brought out Shane Douglas and Leo Burke to even the sides. At several time, Candido looked like he wanted to interfere on behalf of his partner, but Backlund ordered him to stay put and watch the match, and Candido obeyed. Snow and Blackman had a gripping match that looked like it would go to Blackman when he whipped Snow into the ropes and went for the running bicycle kick. But Snow dodged it and caught Blackman in a roll up. Blackman kicked out, but the moment he got back to his feet, Snow took him down again with a back heel kick. Snow then followed up with a wheelbarrow suplex that got the three count. Backlund nodded in approval, and well he should, as his man had pulled off a victory over one half of the Pacific Tag Team champs. Brian Adams vs. Bobby Eaton This would also be a singles match between tag wrestlers, and once again , their partners would be at ringside, with Stan Lane joining Jim Cornette in Eaton's corner while Vic Steamboat was present to watch Adams' back. Lane and Eaton were much less reluctant than the Knights Templar to interfere in the match , and Steamboat was frequently protesting to the ref at their actions. Eventually, he had enough and went over to pull Cornette off the ring apron. He wound up brawling with Lane, and Eaton tried to take advantage of this distraction by sneaking up on Adams, but Adams had him spotted and swiftly hit a devastating spinning backbreaker. The ref dashed over and made the count. A big victory for the Rainbow Warriors, but you can bet that Cornette and the Midnight Express aren't going to take this lying down. Curt Hennig vs. Rick Gantner http://pwtorch.com/artman2/uploads/3/HennigAWA2_1.jpg With his big brother Ed gunning for Tony St. Clair's Television Title, Rick Gantner has fought to get respect for his own abilities. He certainly had his work cut out for him tonight, as he was facing one of the most respected young wrestlers in Pacific Coast Wrestling. Gantner gave Hennig quite the battle , and Hennig had to struggle hard on a number of occasions to escape the Hangman's Drop (two handed chokeslam) . No matter what Hennig did, he could not get the cradle suplex on the big Wild Bull. He was finally able to stagger Gantner with a precision dropkick before finally taking him down for the count with the Axe Lariat. Hennig might have gotten the win, but Gantner proved he is a force to be reckoned with , and Ronnie P. Gossett has nothing to be ashamed of for his efforts tonight.

Autistic Dragon Posted August 17, 2022 Report Share Posted August 17, 2022 Mr Backlund is laying down the law & The Anvil is begrudgingly following suit. Looks like Gary Hart has three new prodigies for his stable. Mr Backlund's new increased scrutiny pays off for Snow. Cornette's interference doesn't pan out leading to a win for Adams. Even in defeat Rick proves Ed isn't the only Gantner too keep an eye on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rainmakerrtv Posted August 18, 2022 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2022 Pacific Coast Wrestling show from the Cow Palace , San Francisco, on Pacific Super Cards on ESPN / TSN, August 13th Gary Young vs. Paul Diamond As usual, Mr. Bob Backlund was at ringside for his man Young's match. Young was particularly aggressive with Diamond, leading to several mistakes during the match. He was still able to hit the DDT, and Backlund ordered him to go for the pinfall, but Gary wanted to administer more punishment, and hauled Diamond back to his feet for another DDT. Diamond still had the wherewithal to counter the attempt with a small package which came very close to getting the 3 count. A disgruntled Young then hit a running elbow smash on Diamond that finally scored the pinfall. Backlund was giving Young an earful as he led him away from the ring. Coast 2 Coast (John Tatum & Jack Victory) & John Tenta vs. Tabarnak De Team (Big Jos Leduc & Pierre Carl Ouellet) & Cannonball Grizzly Leduc tried to get Victory in a Bearhug, but Victory blocked it and countered with the Victory-Plex for the win Shane Douglas vs. Chris Candido Like the day before, both men had their partners and mentors in their corners. The two young stars had a tightly contended technical match where Douglas tried for a belly to belly suplex, but Candido countered by knocking him to the mat with a diving clothesline. He then went up top and hit a New Jersey Jam (flying legdrop) for the victory . Out of nowhere, the Bomb Squad have put themselves in contention for the Pacific Tag Team Titles. Konnan & Ron Simmons vs. Sid Vicious & Maxx Payne Another chapter in the war between Konnan and Sid Vicious. This time out, Vicious was able to hit the Power Bomb on Konnan while Payne held off Simmons to score the one two three. Hector Guerrero vs. Buddy Rose Guerrero came very close to pinning Rose on several occasions, but ultimately the Playboy was able to draw him into the Inside Out Backbreaker and emerge victorious Pacific Light Heavyweight Title Match : Black Tiger © vs. Owen Hart This was another Light Heavyweight Title classic that went long and had the fans on the edge of their seats throughout. Owen tried to finish off Tiger with a victory roll, but Tiger blocked it partway through and held Owen's shoulders to the mat for the three count. Barry Windham & Curt Hennig vs. Nick Bockwinkel & One Man Gang While Windham and Gang slugged it out, Bockwinkel was setting Hennig up for a belly to back suplex, but Hennig turned it around into a Cradle Suplex to pull off a major victory.

Autistic Dragon Posted August 18, 2022 Report Share Posted August 18, 2022 Young's desire to prove himself to Mr Backlund almost costs him. Victory takes down Leduc giving Coast 2 Coast claim on a title shot. Close friends (though perhaps not yet) collide with Candido coming out on top. Another hard-hitting chapter in the saga between the Brigade & the Crazy Gang. Playboy wins a competitive encounter with Hector. Owen comes agonizingly close to capturing Light Heavyweight gold. Hennig scores a massive win over the PCW champ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scarlet-Left Posted August 18, 2022 Report Share Posted August 18, 2022 Really impressive win for Chris Candido here!

rainmakerrtv Posted August 19, 2022 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2022 Pacific Coast Wrestling show from the Selland Arena, Fresno, August 14th Leo Burke vs. Jim Neidhart Mr. Bob Backlund kept up his run of appearing in his men's corner with this match, but remained silent and simply thoughtfully observed throughout. The Anvil had a tough matchup with the veteran Burke, but was able to fight his way out of an attempted Sleeper and was able to hit a running powerslam for the pinfall. Backlund nodded approvingly and patted him on the shoulder after the match. If nothing else, it looks like Neidhart has worked his way back into his mentor's favor. Brian Pillman vs. Cactus Jack One of the rising young stars of PCW faced perhaps the wildest man in the Wild Things in an out of control match where Pillman was just barely able to keep down Cactus with the Air Pillman. Vic Steamboat vs. Stan Lane Bobby Eaton snuck in the ring and clipped Steamboat from behind, setting him up for a Savate Kick from Lane that gave the win to the Midnight's side. Texas Red vs. Ed Wiskowski A battle between two big men that Texas won after knocking Easy Ed to the mat with a Western Lariat Chavo Guerrero vs. Ed Gantner Chavo did his best but was flat out overpowered by Gantner who took him down with the Bull Hammer (running forearm smash to the face) British Steel (Steven Regal & Robbie Brookside) vs. Art Barr & Eddie Guerrero A super fast paced and exciting tag match with plenty of near falls that could have gone either way but wound up going to British Steel when Brookside pinned Eddie with a Sunset Flip California & Submission Title Match : Bob Backlund © vs. Jeff Jarrett Mr. Bob Backlund ordered the Knights Templar to stand at the back of the arena and observe from afar for his match. That might have proved to be a mistake, as Jarrett wound up giving him an incredible fight, which went long and ended up spilling to the outside when they ended up getting counted out while brawling in the ringside area.

Autistic Dragon Posted August 19, 2022 Report Share Posted August 19, 2022 Neidhart beats the General & is out of the dog house. If you think Pillman/Cactus was Wild here, put'em together in 10 years & see if anyone's still standing. Even in a singles match, the MNE's teamwork is spot on. Texas Red K.O's the Polish Prince. Chavo Classic falls to the Bull Hammer. British Steel take a walk on the Wild side & come out victorious. Mr Backlund's attempt at a teachable moment doesn't pan out like he intended. Double J has good claim on a rematch with that finish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scarlet-Left Posted August 19, 2022 Report Share Posted August 19, 2022 Brian Pillman versus Cactus Jack is such a treat! Happy with the solid win for Texas Red here!

spaldoni Posted August 21, 2022 Report Share Posted August 21, 2022 Looks like Backlund's got Anvil refocused. WOW! Gary Hart with Pride. Get ready Pacific! Snow upsets Blackman and now might have tag team gold on his mind. Adams puts Eaton down hard. Hennig gets the win but Rick Gantner proves he's no pushover. Cow Palace, Young almost blows it and Backlund noticed. Coast to Coast continues their wave of momentum. After 2 solo wins, the Bomb Squad are ready for a title shot. Sid gets the better of Konnan. Playboy proves he's still big time. Black Tiger has become one of my favorite champs in the game. His matches always deliver. Oh dang, Hennig scores the fall on Bock! This might mess with Bock's head as Billy Jack awaits. Fresno, Anvil continues to please Backlund. Pillman beats Cactus in a fun match up. Eaton gets a measure of payback on Adams partner. Red puts down Easy Ed in a slugfest. Ed is tuned up and ready for a TV title shot. Nice win for British Steel because Eddie and Art didn't make it easy. I know Jarrett caught Backlund by surprise with that performance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
