Pacific Wrestling Showcase from the Oakland Alameda County Arena, Oakland, on ESPN / TSN, February 10th

 

Vic Steamboat vs. Jonathan Libby

 Vic Steamboat – Online World of Wrestling

After last week, it was no surprise that "The Demon" Vic Steamboat came out accompanied by Jim Cornette, although it was still an odd sight to see. Steamboat continued to distinguish himself from his brother with both his red and black gear and an intensity bordering on ferocity. One had to wonder what sort of influence Cornette had on Steamboat as "The Demon" tore into Libby, blistering him with chops and tossing him around the ring with backdrops before finishing him with the Flying Cross Body Press. Steamboat is clearly looking to make his own name now in PCW, and with the Louisville Lip guiding him, who can deny him?

 

Pierre Carl Ouellet vs. Buzz Sawyer

Blogue de PIERRE-CARL-OUELLET - Blog de PIERRE-CARL-OUELLET - Skyrock.com Classic Pro Wrestling Gallery - Mad Dog Buzz Sawyer | Facebook

Sawyer has been cutting through the opposition like a proverbial buzzsaw , with his sights now set on Owen Hart as his next victim. But Pierre Carl Ouellet was not someone to look past, and Sawyer was caught off guard by how much of a fight he got from the double tough French Canadian. These two threw down and were both battered and bruised by the end of the match. Sawyer still was able to pull it out by catching Ouellet off the ropes with a powerslam, but after the mauling he took, he is not likely to take him so lightly again.

 

Interview : Don Coss stands in the ring

 

Coss : Ladies and gentlemen, my next guest is one of the most impressive young guns to recently make their debut in Pacific Coast Wrestling … "Bulldozer" Brian Lee!

Wrestling With Sin: Route 66 | Ring the Damn Bell

The crowd cheers as the popular "Bulldozer" heads out to the ring, shaking hands with the fans along the way.

 

Coss : Brian Lee, you have gained a lot of fans in your short time in Pacific Coast Wrestling. But when you interfered in the Vampire Warrior's attack on Dustin Rhodes, you may have made some enemies as well. Do you regret stepping into the middle of the war between the Brigade and the Neighborhood Of Evil.

 

Lee : Not for a danged minute, Don. I am not going to just stand by when anyone tries to gang up on one wrestler. But I have personal reasons as well . You see …

 

Lee is cut off as a commotion stirs up from the back. The members of the Brigade make an unannounced appearance, and as Curt Hennig, Scott Hall , Lou Perez and Dustin Rhodes join Coss and Lee in the ring, they have looks of concern on their faces.

Hennig : Brian, we are so sorry to interrupt but we just had to come out. First off , we wanted to thank you for coming out to help Dustin. It was mighty honorable thing you did. But we also have to ask you to help us out again. The Brigade has a six man tag match coming up at Aloha Spectacular against the Undertaker and the Vampire Warriors. But Scott and I both have title defenses and Dustin and Lou need someone to be their partner. I know it is a lot to ask, but would you be their partner?

 

Lee : It's not much to ask and I will be glad to help out. As I was about to say, I have personal reasons to get involved. You see, Red … or the Undertaker as he is now calling himself, is my cousin! (shocked looks from the Brigade and gasps from the fans) So this isn't just about personal honor, it's about family honor. So if you need my help to try to put a stop to my cousin, I'm your man! *shakes hands with Hennig as the crowd cheers*

 

Tony St. Clair vs. Bull Pain

Exclusive Tony St Clair Interview by Seconds Away-British Wrestling Podcast  then and now • A podcast on Anchor Bull Pain - Feel the Pain | wrestlingjunkies

"Tough" Tony had to dig in deep on this one, as Bull Pain has been coming in to his own as a singles threat of late. The big Bull just kept coming after St. Clair, and the Englishman was at something of a loss to figure out how to hold him off. St. Clair did what he could to take him down to the mat, but Pain would fight his way out of every takedown attempt. St. Clair was finally able to hit the spinning forearm smash to put him down, but Pain gave him one hell of a fight.

 

The Southern Boys vs. The Suicide Blondes (Chris Candido & Louie Spicolli)

Rasslin' History 101 on Twitter: "Those "Wild-Eyed Southern Boys":Tracy  Smothers and Steve Armstrong circa late-1980's https://t.co/lWjQI5n5E3" /  Twitter Chris Candido - IMDbA Look Back At WWF Superstars - August 29, 1992

With the flood of new teams to the PCW tag division, it is hard for a team like the Southern Boys to avoid getting lost in the shuffle. But as they took on the duo from the Knights Templar, they showed that they were just as competitive as ever. While Candido and Spicolli were stern competition, Smothers ultimately took down Candido with the Jawjacker. Even in the current environment, Smothers and Armstrong are on the rise.

 

The Cheetah Kid vs. Barry Windham

While the Cheetah Kid has impressed many in his short time in PCW, he seemed clearly outmatched going into this match. Not only did Barry Windham tower over him, but ever since Barry turned his back on the Brigade and joined up with the Neighborhood Of Evil , he has been on an absolute rampage. But even though he is new to PCW, the masked man has almost a decade of experience in the ring, and has learned how to take care of himself. He was able to duck and dodge some of Barry's heavier blows and score some hard shots of his own. Although Barry did some damage, Cheetah was always able to bounce back and on several occasions staggered him with dropkicks and high flying moves. The crowd started hoping the masked man might just pull off the upset, but it got shut down when Barry leveled him with an explosive lariat. One Superplex later and the Widowmaker had prevailed. A tough loss, but Cheetah Kid can hold his head high, knowing that had given a tough challenge to the top contender.

I like this new aggressive side to Steamboat. 

Pierre is sort of the tough guy gatekeeper. Buzz got the win but it wasn't easy.

The family storyline works so well with Lee and Taker. Looking forward to watching this play out. 

Bull is coming on strong, I'm glad my man St. Clair was able to pull it out.

Never underestimate the Southern Boys. 

Cheetah gets over, even in defeat. No shame losing to the Widowmaker. 

Cow Palace,

Malenko's show they're in contention as well. 

Animal continues his onslaught. 

Cornette has quickly made a difference with Christopher. His match with Cyrus shows the LHW division is up there with the stacked tag division. 

The FOJ/SCS feud is gaining momentum. Rose adds a lot to it. 

British Steel retain but the Wild Things are closing in.

Hennig vs. Flowers is a fun match up. Hennig retains but Flowers is a legit contender.

Fresno,

Cheetah Kid rebounds and will be a serious LHW contender.

Golden Guns get a key win over the Holly's.

Watch out! Big Cat is pissed! 

I know Bret was watching Anvil's win over Owen.

Cornette gets some good bragging rights over RPG. However, this one is far from over.

Pierre knocks down another tough customer. 

Regal put up a fight but Backlund is the submission king. 

Brigade and NOE get crazy to end the night. 

Damn, get ready Hawaii because 2 stacked nights of action are coming!

The Hollywood Vampires (The Vampire Warrior & Jimmie Lee) vs. Jiff Wilson & Willard Smith

David Heath (Wrestling) - TV Tropes image.jpeg.6beee5449516125935d468dbe40293e8.jpeg

Yikes. The Neighborhood Of Evil have been a threat ever since their inception, but emboldened by their recent attacks on members of the Brigade, the Hollywood Vampires let out all the stops in this match. They steamrolled over Wilson and Smith, with Warrior pinning Smith with the Impaler while the Gravedigger hit the Spinal Grinder on Wilson on the concrete. The Brigade are really going to need to rally if they are going to survive this.

 

Pierre Carl Ouellet vs. Louie Spicolli

 Blogue de PIERRE-CARL-OUELLET - Blog de PIERRE-CARL-OUELLET - Skyrock.comA Look Back At WWF Superstars - August 29, 1992

After both his partner Big Jos Leduc and his good friend Cannonball Grizzly left PCW, Ouellet found himself a man standing alone. Not one to give up against the odds, Ouellet has taken on a variety of tough competitors, taking a licking but always giving as well as he got and earning respect. He brought that determination to his match with one half of the Suicide Blondes, the burly Louie Spicolli. Spicolli certainly tried to overpower Ouellet, but the French Canadian came here to fight, and was able to knock down Spicolli and hit the Flying Senton for the victory. It never pays to underestimate PCO.

 

Lou Perez, Dustin Rhodes & Brian Lee vs. Cyrus The Virus & The Holly Cousins

 Lou Perez – Online World of WrestlingDustin Rhodes (Character) - Giant BombWrestling With Sin: Route 66 | Ring the Damn BellTHE JACKYL / DON CALLIS WRESTLER 8 X 10 WRESTLING PHOTO WWF | eBayPin on WWF..back in the day

It looks like "Bulldozer" Brian Lee is well and truly in the Brigade now, as he, Perez and Rhodes gear up for their showdown with the Neighborhood Of Evil next week at Aloha Spectacular. The trio meshed well as they too on the odd assemblage of Cyrus and the Holly Cousins. All three Brigade members got their chance to shine, with Perez getting the pinfall on Crash after a Helicopter Slam while Rhodes and Lee clotheslined Bob and Cyrus out of the ring. A big victory, but given the recent actions of the Undertaker and the Hollywood Vampires, the Brigade will need all the momentum they can manager for their upcoming match.

 

Steve Blackman vs. Dean Malenko

WWE cult hero Steve Blackman unrecognizable as former star makes rare  public appearance alongside the Hardy Boys | The US Sun Dean Malenko | Wiki | Wrestling Amino

After a rough start to the year, Blackman has been on something of a surge since forming the Lethal Weapons with Al Snow. Snow joined Blackman at ringside along with Army leader Dan Severn, while Dean Malenko was accompanied by his brother Joe and manager Gary Hart, but the action was kept to the ring in an intense technical showdown. Dean had the advantage in takedowns and submission holds, while Blackman had the edge in kicks and strikes. This proved to make the difference as Blackman caught Dean flat footed with a running Bicycle Kick for the pinfall. A big win for Blackman, but you can bet that the Malenkos will be out to even the score.

 

The Southern Boys vs. Art Barr & Eddie Guerrero

Rasslin' History 101 on Twitter: "Those "Wild-Eyed Southern Boys":Tracy  Smothers and Steve Armstrong circa late-1980's https://t.co/lWjQI5n5E3" /  Twitter Art Barr Death - Wrestler Deaths

With a big Golden State Tag Team Title match coming up at Aloha Spectacular, the Wild Things faced a considerable stumbling block in Tracy Smothers and Steve Armstrong. The Southern Boys gave a considerable fight to Barr and Guerrero, with the Wild Things backpedaling through much of the match. They went to the gutter to pull out the win, with Barr sneaking in a low blow from behind on Armstrong to set him up for a reverse neckbreaker from Guerrero. A dirty win but a win nonetheless, and the Wild Things have to be hoping they can keep that trend up going into their title match with British Steel.

Vic Steamboat vs. Angel Acevedo

 

"The Demon" proved he was really back when he defeated "The Cuban Assassin" when he hit the Flying Cross Body Press on Acevedo.

 

Tony St. Clair vs. Jim Neidhart

 

As one my guess, an incredibly tough battle that went to the Anvil when he hit "Tough" Tony with a running forearm smash

California Title Match : Scott Hall © vs. Bob Backlund

 

An intense battle that went down to Backlund attempting a German Suplex, only for Hall to block it and counter with a Belly To Back suplex and successfully defend his title

Hennig fought hard against the Dead Man, but wound up facing a two on one ambush when he was attacked by Barry Windham. As the ref called for the DQ, the two continued their attack until Scott Hall rushed out and ran them off.

Dan Severn vs. Maxx Payne

 

Severn faced the sternest test of his career when he was able to survive big Maxx Payne's attempts to trap him in the Payne Killer and forced him to tap out to a guillotine choke

 

Golden State Tag Team Title Match : British Steel (Steven Regal & Robbie Brookside) © vs. The Destruction Crew

 

Enos and Bloom were going for their first tag title shot in their young PCW career, and were out to make the most of it. Their combination of power and ruthlessness presented quite a challenge to the young Englishmen. But their recent past came back to haunt them as the Midnight Express , seeking payback for the earlier interference, took advantage of a ref distraction and clipped Enos from behind. This left him easy prey for the Regal-Plex and a win for British Steel.

 

Pacific Television Title Match : Bret Hart © vs. Buzz Sawyer

 

Brett was facing an incredible challenge in the unhinged and determined Buzz Sawyer. This was a ferocious battle that wound up going to a 30 minute time limit draw.

Pacific Coast Wrestling Aloha Spectacular 1988 from the Neal S. Blaisdell Center in Honolulu, Night One

 

Vic Steamboat vs. Curtis Hughes

Vic Steamboat – Online World of Wrestling Curtis Hughes, your thoughts? | Wrestling Forum

The Honolulu fans were buzzing with excitement as the first PCW Mega Show of 1988 kicks of from the Neil S. Blaisdell Center. The crowd was solidly behind Hawaiian favorite "The Demon" Vic Steamboat as he faced off with the big roughneck Mr. Hughes. Steamboat's manager , Jim Cornette, was constantly jawing with Ronnie P. Gossett, who was in Hughes' corner, but the two wrestlers kept their focus squarely on each other. Hughes tried to use his considerable size and power to overwhelm Steamboat. But the Demon showed the ferocity of his new nickname by firing back at the Cat with everything he had. Hughes kept on attacking with increasing recklessness, leading to him charging Steamboat when he was at the ropes, only for Steamboat to flip him outside with a backdrop. Steamboat then went up top and hit a spectacular flying cross body press to the outside. Steamboat was able to beat Hughes back into the ring and the ref signaled that the Demon had won by countout. A hard fought victory that went over well with the Hawaiian crowd.

 

The Southern Boys vs. The Holly Cousins

 Rasslin' History 101 on Twitter: "Those "Wild-Eyed Southern Boys":Tracy  Smothers and Steve Armstrong circa late-1980's https://t.co/lWjQI5n5E3" /  TwitterPin on WWF..back in the day

With the influx of new teams in the PCW tag ranks, it has been a real challenge to stand out in the division. Clearly feeling the heat, the Southern Boys and the Hollys went out and had an absolute barn burner off the match. Both teams were going at top speed, and the fans were rapt with fascination as each team kept trying to one up each other. The Southern Boys were finally able to put down Crash with a double clothesline off the ropes, but it took all they had. The fans rewarded them with a huge round of applause, as both teams had left it all on the mat tonight.

 

Doug Furnas vs. Gary Albright

 Doug Furnas - Alchetron, The Free Social EncyclopediaGary Albright (Wrestling) - TV Tropes

Ever since his arrival in PCW, "The Animal" Gary Albright has torn through the opposition without breaking a sweat. He and his manager Gary Hart have had a particular focus in calling out the Army, and to that end have signed this match with the Army's powerhouse Doug Furnas. Furnas threw everything in his considerable arsenal at Albright, and although it looked like he made a dent in the Animal's defenses, he just couldn't get Albright down. Albright was able to catch some big suplexes on Furnas that took the wind out of Doug's sails. He then locked the Oklahoma native in the Dragon Suplex and forced him to tap out. Furnas gave it his best shot, but the Animal just could not be stopped.

 

The Lethal Weapons (Steve Blackman & Al Snow) vs. Dean & Joe Malenko

WWE cult hero Steve Blackman unrecognizable as former star makes rare  public appearance alongside the Hardy Boys | The US Sun Leif Cassidy | Ring the Damn BellThe Malenko Brothers – Online World of Wrestling

With the end of the Black Gold and Bomb Squad tag teams, Blackman and Snow found themselves struggling to make any headway in PCW. By joining together as the Lethal Weapons, they have found themselves on quite an upswing. Tonight, they would face their toughest test yet in the Malenko Brothers. This was a vicious back and forth match , with the technical skill and submissions of the Malenkos being matched by the intensity and innovation of the Lethal Weapons. It seemed at different points that either team could have prevailed, until out of nowhere, Blackman caught Dean flat footed with a Bicycle Kick and Snow held off Joe long enough to get the three count . The Malenkos and their manager Gary Hart were seething, but the Lethal Weapons and the fans were jubilant at this victory.

 

The Cheetah Kid vs. Angel Acevedo

In his short time in PCW, Cheetah Kid has made a reputation as a top high flyer. But when he faced the double tough enforcer of the Diamond Exchange, he surprised the fans by be willing to go down and dirty with the Cuban Assassin. The masked man may be new to PCW, but has a fair amount of experience, and seemed to have a counter for every trick Acevedo threw at him. He was able to take the Assassin down with a somersault flip off the ropes, then pin him with a Power Bomb. The Cheetah Kid was triumphant in his first PCW Mega Show. A sign of things to come?

 

Falls Count Anywhere Match : Pierre Carl Ouellet vs. Cactus Jack

 Blogue de PIERRE-CARL-OUELLET - Blog de PIERRE-CARL-OUELLET - Skyrock.comMick Foley – Movies, Bio and Lists on MUBI

These two rough and tumble young men have been having one of the sleeper feuds of the past few months, with several brutal matches that have left the PCW crowds agog. It has gotten to the point where the action could not be contained to the ring, resulting in this falls count anywhere match. It got off to a rollicking start from the moment the bell rang, when Cactus ambushed PCO and sent him out of the ring with the Cactus Clothesline. These two waged a ferocious war throughout the Neal S. Blaisdell Center, going up and down the aisles and into the audience. Both men were battered, bruised and bloodied by the time Ouellet hit a piledriver onto the concrete to finally put Cactus down for the count. It took everything he had, but the popular French Canadian had come out on top.

 

Owen Hart vs. Buzz Sawyer

20 Years Ago Today: The Life and Death of Owen Hart Classic Pro Wrestling Gallery - Mad Dog Buzz Sawyer | Facebook

Another slow burning but strong feud has been between the Snowbirds and the Diamond Exchange, with some of the most heated matches between Buzz Sawyer and young Owen Hart. The kept that going into this match, as the two battled with a white hot intensity that just would not let up. Owen kept up his attack with his dazzling high flying moves and considerable technical skills, while Sawyer kept up a steady barrage of big lefts and rights. It looked like Owen might just turn the tide but he got overconfident and Sawyer caught him coming off the ropes with a crushing powerslam. Sawyer followed up with a Bombs Awa Kneedrop and that was that. Owen gave it his best shot but came up just short against the Mad Dog.

 

Submission Title Match : Bob Backlund © vs. Dan Severn

 Bob Backlund (Wrestling) - TV TropesDan Severn (Page 1) - Line.17QQ.com

Ever since he won the Submission Title from Dan Severn last year, Bob Backlund has kept the title belt secure around his waist, seeing off a host of challengers. But the Beast has fought hard to get himself back into contention, and tonight, he would finally get his rematch. Both the Army and the Knights Templar were at ringside observing the match, but did not interfere as the two men got it done in the middle of the ring. Backlund and Severn had a scientific masterpiece, which the experience of the champion being tested by the youth and versatility of the challenger. Several times it looked like Severn might have Backlund trapped, only for the champion to escape by the skin of his teeth.  Backlund in turn wrenched Severn's limbs every which way, but the Beast would not give in. It looked like it would be another successful defense for Backlund when he got Severn set for the Cross Face Chicken Wing in the middle of the ring. But, quick as a flash, Severn reversed it, applying his own Chicken Wing. Backlund flailed mightily trying to escape. But Severn kept him in the hold with the vice like grip of his powerful legs, and after a protracted struggle, Backlund tapped out. Severn had done it! The Army celebrated with him as he put the belt around his waist. The Knights Templar looked disappointed but helped their fallen leader to the back. Severn was now the champion. But with a host of tough challengers gunning for title, he was going to be in for a trying reign.

 

Pacific Light Heavyweight Title Match : Brian Pillman © vs. Cyrus The Virus

 Anything Wrestling - 22 Years Later: October 5th, 1997 - WattpadTHE JACKYL / DON CALLIS WRESTLER 8 X 10 WRESTLING PHOTO WWF | eBay

The mysterious Cyrus had come, seemingly out of nowhere but actually from Canada, like a plague to PCW , joining with the Wild Things and getting several impressive victories while bewildering people with his disturbing personality. It was a testament to his talent that he was able to earn a title match so soon in his career, and he was looking to make the most of it. Pillman was clearly taking this new threat to his title very seriously, not letting down his guard for an instant. Even so, Cyrus did manage to sneak in some cheap shots and psychological warfare, and Pillman had his hands full with this devious young challenger. The champion's experience proved the deciding factor when Cyrus monkey flipped Pillman out of the ring, only for Pillman to catch himself on the top rope and land on the ring apron. Cyrus took a moment to congratulate himself , only turn around and be hit with the Air Pillman. Pillman had survived as champion, but Cyrus proved he had truly arrived as a contender.

 

Golden State Tag Team Title Match : British Steel (Steven Regal & Robbie Brookside) © vs. Art Barr & Eddie Guerrero

 The Golden Boys – in pictures: early years – Eire   AlbaArt Barr Death - Wrestler Deaths

The team of Regal and Brookside faced a lot of trials in 1987, at one point looking like they might break up, but they came through stronger than ever, winning the Golden State Tag Team Titles. Since then , they have been constantly pursued by the hungry young Wild Things team of Barr and Guerrero. The Wild Things were relentless in this match, and though British Steel certainly got their own shots in, the constant skullduggery of the challengers was starting to take its toll. Guerrero was aiming to put the match away when he had Brookside set up for an over the shoulder neckbreaker. But Brookside blocked it and countered with a backslide that just barely kept Guerrero's shoulders to the mat for the three count. British Steel were able to hold onto their titles, but judging by the way Guerrero and Barr were whispering to each other as they left the ring, they weren't done with the Wild Things by a long chalk.

Bret "The Hitman" Hart - An Evening with the WWE Wrestling Legend -  Tidemark Theatre Jim The Anvil Neidhart Arrested and Other Wrestlers Gone Wild | Bleacher  Report | Latest News, Videos and Highlights

The first night of the Mega Show would come to a close with this highly anticipated match between two brothers in law and former partners and friends. Ever since Neidhart's betrayal of Hart and joining the Knights Templar , it had been no secret that he would soon be coming after the Hitman. Tonight, he would also been looking to gain the title that had previously been held by his mentor, Bob Backlund. The Anvil pounded Bret hard, battering him with brutal forearm shots and knocking him down with mighty shoulder tackles. Bret was able to get Neidhart down to the mat, but could not wrap up his big strong legs in the Sharpshooter. Bret was able to fight out of some attempts at the Anvilizer, and though Neidhart was able to apply the Camel Clutch, he was too close to the ropes and was forced to break the hold. Neidhart was able to set Bret up for the kill when he whipped him hard into the turnbuckle and charged in with a shoulder tackle. But Bret dodged out of the way just in time and Neidhart went into the corner and hit his shoulder on the corner post. Bret was able to roll him up and Neidhart was unable to kick out. The Hitman was able to survive his toughest title match yet and score the victory. Next up : Night Two!

Pacific Coast Wrestling Aloha Spectacular 1988 from the Neal S. Blaisdell Center in Honolulu, Night Two

 

Brian Christopher vs. Bull Pain

 Remembering Brian Christopher... - Classic Memphis Wrestling | FacebookBull Pain - Feel the Pain | wrestlingjunkies

Like the first night, the second night of Aloha Spectacular 1988 kicked off with a singles match in the feud between Jim Cornette and Ronnie P. Gossett. Brian Christopher showed considerable promise in his early matches, but has really come into his own under the guidance of Cornette. He was facing a considerable foe in the fierce Bull Pain. Pain really took it to Christopher, and the rookie had to fight an uphill struggle to keep from being overwhelmed by the big bruiser. To his credit, Christopher was able to hold his own, and the fans started thinking he might just pull off the upset. Sadly, it was not meant to be, with Pain catching him in a spinning back heel kick and dropping him hard onto the mat. He followed up with the Hangman's Drop (two handed chokeslam) and that was it. A tough loss for Christopher, but he could comfort himself in knowing that he had impressed the fans with his talent and determination

 

Dustin Rhodes, Lou Perez & Brian Lee vs. The Undertaker & The Hollywood Vampires (The Vampire Warrior & Jimmie Lee)

Another hot factional feud is the one that has blown up between the Brigade and the Neighborhood Of Evil. The defection of Barry Windham to the NOA has really ignited this war, and the newest members of the Brigade take to the ring to face off with the Undertaker and his bizarre teammates. The crowd was solidly behind the Brigade, and Lee, Perez and Rhodes held their ground against the Vampires. But when the Undertaker stepped in and got into gear, it was only a matter of time. No matter what they tried, the Brigade could not get the big man down, and the Vampires were able to hold off Lee and Rhodes while the Undertaker put Perez away with the Tombstone. A convincing win for Paul Bearer's men.

 

Billy Jack Haynes & The Force Of July (The Patriot & The Eagle) vs. Buddy Rose & The Sin City Superstars (Scotty The Body & Reno Riggins)

 Billy Jack Haynes (@BJHWrestling) / TwitterWell That Didn't work: The Patriot | Ring the Damn BellProWresBlog: All Japan Pro Wrestling 2/25/1993 - Kenta Kobashi and Tsuyoshi  Kikuchi vs The Patriot and The Eagleimage.jpeg.1fe511b9555a882f12fbacf5e2a5c6be.jpegتويتر \ Rasslin' History 101 على تويتر: "A hot young prospect down in  Portland:Scotty the Body.1990 https://t.co/NhzMQiNCvm"Reno Riggins – Online World of Wrestling

Two of the most colourful new teams in PCW have build up a considerable rivalry in their short time on the west coast. The masked Force Of July have quickly found the favour of the fans, while the Sin City Superstars have eschewed popularity for the guidance and protection of the Playboy Club. Buddy Rose had clearly taught them well, as they used all sorts of trickery to befuddle both their opponents and the ref. Billy Jack and the FOJ got the better of the exchanges when they were able to face them head on, but the Playboy Club did everything they could to make sure that wasn't too often. The fan favorites eventually had enough and seized control with an explosive burst of power. Patriot and Eagle clotheslined Rose and Scotty out of the ring, leaving Riggins alone with Billy Jack. Haynes hit the Shoulderbreaker and scored the pinfall. The fans cheered, but you know that the Playboy Club will make sure things don't end here.

 

Tony St. Clair vs. Maxx Payne

 Exclusive Tony St Clair Interview by Seconds Away-British Wrestling Podcast  then and now • A podcast on AnchorMaxx Payne

At San Diego Battleground, Tony St. Clair suffered a heartbreaking loss to Maxx Payne. Since then, he has been  gearing up for another shot at the big man, and tonight, he would get his chance. Payne cut his usual intimidating presence, matching St. Clair with a steely gaze of his own. But St. Clair had a fire in his eyes and refused to take a backwards step to Payne. Both men landed some jarring suplexes that , little by little, chipped away at the other's defenses. St. Clair fought like a lion to make sure that Payne was not able to cinch the Payne Killer. Payne nearly hit the Payne Threshold (side suplex) , but St. Clair shut it down with a hard elbow to the face. St. Clair then wore down Payne with several forearm smashes before hitting the spinning forearm smash to put Payne down for good. Tough Tony had showed his name was well deserved and had avenged his earlier loss.

 

The Golden Guns (Todd Morton & Jerry Lynn) vs. The Suicide Blondes (Chris Candido & Louie Spicolli)

 Todd Morton shares his thoughts after July 20th - YouTubeHelp Wanted! Job Opportunities: Jerry Lynn | Ring the Damn BellChris Candido - IMDbA Look Back At WWF Superstars - August 29, 1992

The Golden Guns have been on a bit of an upswing since taking their new name, and the Suicide Blondes are as devoted as ever to bringing victory to the Knights Templar. This made for an explosive situation, with both teams being dead set on emerging triumphant. The momentum of the match swung back and forth, but it seemed like the Blondes were going to get the win when Spicolli was setting Morton up for the Sign Of The Cross (Samoan Drop). Lynn swiftly dropkicked Morton's back , causing Spicolli to fall over backwards with Morton on top. Lynn then intercepted Candido while Morton pinned Spicolli, giving the win to the Golden Guns.

 

California Title Match : Scott Hall © vs. "Diamond" Timothy Flowers

Throwback to when Scott Hall had one of the greatest mustaches in all of  pro wrestling. We're all rooting for you, chico! : r/SquaredCircle Diamond Timothy Flowers transitions to Streetfighter | Slam Wrestling

At the New Years Day Special, Scott Hall made his shocking return to Pacific Coast Wrestling, winning the California Title from Mr. Bob Backlund. Since then, he has been a fighting champion, taking on all comers to prove that he is back for good. Tonight, he would be facing one of the most devious and dangerous competitors in all of PCW. "Diamond" Timothy Flowers was a mainstay of PCW from the moment of the west coast expansion, and since his return, quickly showed he has not lost a step, making the Diamond Exchange a feared faction to be reckoned with.  He gave the champion all that he could handle, with both sneaky moves and just plain hard hitting wrestling. But Hall was not the inexperienced up and comer that he was on his first run in PCW. He was much more confident and self assured, coming back from Flowers' attacks and making him pay some dues. He powered out of an attempted piledriver, then levelled him with a big clothesline. He followed up with the Gator Breaker (Fallaway Slam) to take the match. Big Scott Hall is on a tear, and the fans are loving it.

 

The Midnight Express vs. The Destruction Crew

Bobby Eaton dead at 62: Tributes paid to wrestling legend who was one half  of iconic The Midnight Express tag-team | The US Sun Destruction Crew | Pro wrestling, Wrestling wwe, Wrestling superstars

Ronnie P. Gossett's constant hectoring of the Destruction Crew as "The Tag Team Of The Future" has done something that would have previously seemed impossible : he has gotten the fans rallying behind Jim Cornette and the Midnight Express. Cornette and Gossett's respective forces have exchanged wins in their various matches, but this would be the most high profile match between the two teams. While Enos and Bloom certainly have a lot of power and muscle on their side, the superior teamwork of the Midnights was able to counter that. Eaton and Lane ran rings around the Crew, using their combination and double team moves to spectacular effect. The Crew wound up going to subterfuge. While Cornette was chasing Gossett around the ring with his tennis racquet, Enos took advantage of the distraction by tripping Eaton while coming off the ropes, setting him up for a diving clothesline by Bloom. Enos held Eaton's leg down from the outside to get Bloom the tainted win. Although they may have lost this round, you can bet that Cornette and the Midnights are planning some sort of retort.

 

Pacific Tag Team Title Match : Coast 2 Coast (John Tatum & Jack Victory) © vs. The Bruise Brothers

 Rasslin' History 101 on Twitter: "Two men who began teaming together in the  UWF before going over to World Class Championship Wrestling:Jack Victory  and "Hollywood" John Tatum back in 1987 https://t.co/gCMvLBXaNU" /Happy Birthday to Ron and Don Harris! | Pro Wrestling Universe Amino

The Harris Twins were brought into the Playboy Club with the promise of a title shot, and it didn't take long for the Playboy to deliver. The big bruisers towered over their opponents, and it looked like the champions were behind the 8 ball in this match. But they had a few tricks of their own, using their considerable guile to stay on an even keel with the Bruise Brothers. The twins kept up their attack and seemed to be wearing down the champions, but got overconfident, with one of them charging into Tatum and catching a face full of Superkick. Victory held off the other twin and they were able to successfully defend their titles. Make no mistake, Coast 2 Coast are the real deal.

 

Pacific Heavyweight Title Match : Curt Hennig © vs. Barry Windham

image.jpeg.9d5c43ae302c17d97bb749100c4c91a0.jpeg Happy Birthday to Barry Windham! | Pro Wrestling Universe Amino

The second night main event was the hotly anticipated Heavyweight Title match between two former friends and allies. With his shocking betrayal of Curt Hennig and the Brigade, "The Widowmaker" had declared war on his former team and set his sights on the Heavyweight Title. He had a deep scowl on his face as he headed out to the ring with Paul Bearer, ignoring the boos that rained down on him from the fans. Hennig had a look of determination, clearly set on setting aside the one time friendship and coming out as champion, no matter what. There was an added ruthlessness to Windham's offense, attacking with a viciousness that hadn't been seen before from the big Texan. Hennig kept bouncing back, showing the resiliency that had driven him to the championship. Hennig was able to get Windham set up for the Hennig-Plex, but Windham dug in and blocked the move. Then, out of nowhere, Hennig was levelled with a clothesline. The Undertaker had run into the ring and attacked him. As the ref called for the DQ, Maxx Payne, Jimmie Lee, and the Vampire Warrior soon joined the fray. The Neighborhood Of Evil brutally attacked Hennig until Scott Hall, Brian Lee, Dustin Rhodes and Lou Perez charged in to run them off. It looks like the war between the Brigade and the Neighborhood Of Evil has kicked into high gear.

Awesome trip to Hawaii as PCW gives the fans 20 great matches.  The first time I ever tried this hobby, I wrote for Polynesian Power Pro Wrestling and it was really fun.  The mainlanders always seemed to be the heels vs the native islanders with some Japanese wrestlers scattered in.  It was cool. 

As for your trip to Hawaii, so many great things which will help shape PCW going forward. I can't wait to see what happens to Backlund now that he has lost his title!

Smart booking having Steamboat win the first match of the event.  This would have made the people of Hawaii completely buy in.

As I said before, I love our twists of real life tag team partners going at it... Hart and Neidhart is a fun read.

The Undertaker, even without a belt, might be the top dog in PCW and he proved it here.

Even in a 6-Man tag match, I love seeing Billy Jack vs Playboy.  Just has that Pacific Northwest real life feel.

It will be interesting to see what the Midnight Express do after a tough loss.

I like your decision to end the Windham/Hennig match with chaos.  Keeps this feud going which will keep ticket sales high.

Just a question... Do you know if the people of Hawaii were able to see wrestling from the mainland in 1988.  I know as a kid, I got Polynesian Pro on the MSG channel but unsure of the cable situation in Hawaii at the time.  I know they loved their show but not sure if it worked both ways.  I remember Jerry Lawler being there, Lars Anderson being there but many of the stars were from the South Pacific.  Farmer Boy Ipo, Samoan LeRoy Brown, Mighty Milo, Super Samoan Sakalia were some of the names I remember.  It was really fun to watch.

Aloha! 

Smart booking having Steamboat kick things off with an exciting visual and c.o. win over the imposing Big Cat.

Southern Boys move up a notch by beating the Hollys in a very competitive match. Perfect showcase for a stacked tag division. 

Animal has taken his spot amongst the PCW big boys. 

Both Blackman and Snow have rebounded well. That win over the Malenkos solidifies this. 

The Cheetah Kid's stock is rapidly rising. He also showed he can mix it up when need be. 

Pierre might be the toughest guy in PCW. After that win over Cactus, the competition better take notice. 

Owen puts up one heck of a fight, but in the end, Buzz really finished him off well. This is one of my favorite feuds. 

WOW! Backlund's incredible Submission reign comes to an end at the hands of Severn. Outstanding match! Feel good celebration really put the match and title over. 

Once again LHW champ Pillman gives the fans a show. The LHW matches continue to shine. 

I thought for sure the Wild Things would take the titles. Nice jo keeping this chase going. I must say, the British Steel story has been one heck of a roller coaster ride of emotions. 

Bret vs. Anvil was the epic showdown I was waiting for and man did they deliver. Bret retains but Anvil made him earn it. 

 

Aloha Night 2! 

Bull gets the big win, but Christopher is making a name for himself. 

Taker gets the shine in the heated 6 man tag. 

Rose and Billy Jack is the classic PCW feud. So glad you went back to these two. FOJ and SCS's have been great additions. Babyfaces get the win tonight, but no way the Playboy Club are finished. 

You know I popped when my man St. Clair avenged his loss against Payne. 

Golden Guns edge out a win over the Suicide Blondes in another young teams showcase. 

Hall's on a different level this time around. Flowers found that out. 

RPG has some serious bragging rights coming after his Destruction Crew get one over on the Midnights. This feud has a lot of steam and could become one of the biggest in the game. 

I agree, Coast to Coast are legit! The odds were against them, but man they prevailed. 

Hennig and Widowmaker tear it up! Chaos ends the night with factions going at it. Can't wait for the rematch.

Awesome show! The tag division got over. Cheetah Kid might be Pillman's next challenger. Some big wins by some big heels, which means babyface champs, Severn, Hitman, Hall and Hennig have a variety of challengers to work with.

The Cheetah Kid vs. Crash Holly

At Aloha Spectacular, the Cheetah Kid caught a lot of attention with his win over "The Cuban Assassin" Angel Acevedo and the buzz was that he was emerging as a top contender for Brian Pillman's Light Heavyweight Title. He certainly showed what he was made of in this fast paced match with one half of the Holly Cousins. Crash Holly certainly gave as good as he got, with plentiful near falls. The masked man was able to block an attempted rollup, then turn it around into a Power Bomb to get another exciting victory. The Cheetah Kid is rapidly acquiring quite the following for himself.

 

Dustin Rhodes vs. Barry Windham

Dustin Rhodes (Character) - Giant Bomb Happy Birthday to Barry Windham! | Pro Wrestling Universe Amino

Barry Windham's shot at Curt Hennig's Pacific Heavyweight Title at Aloha Spectacular ended in chaos with the rest of the Neighborhood Of Evil getting involved. Windham still has his sights set on the title, and was certainly not about to let the son of his former mentor be an obstacle. Dustin did his father proud in this match, refusing to take a backwards step, but the experience and viciousness of Windham was just too much to overcome. Barry ended up levelling him with a Western Lariat to score the pinfall and add more to his resume to get a second shot.

Since their arrival in Pacific Coast Wrestling, the Force Of July have had several run-ins with the Sin City Superstars, but tonight, they would square off with the other team from the Playboy Club, the Harris Twins. This was an out and out donnybrook, with both teams throwing haymakers and power moves at each other. The action wound up spilling out onto the floor, with all four men slugging it out and ending in a double countout. These two teams have got to be eying each other up for a rematch.

 

Owen Hart vs. Cyrus The Virus

 20 Years Ago Today: The Life and Death of Owen HartTHE JACKYL / DON CALLIS WRESTLER 8 X 10 WRESTLING PHOTO WWF | eBay

Owen was coming off a tough loss at Aloha Spectacular to Buzz Sawyer, and was looking to get back on track with a win over the sinister Cyrus. Cyrus, having just challenged Brian Pillman for the Light Heavyweight Title, had his mentor, Cactus Jack, in his corner and was full of his usual tricks and mindgames. Owen did his best to remain cool, but Cyrus did get him flustered on a number of occasions. Owen's finely honed instincts paid off when he was able to catch Cyrus coming off the ropes with a belly to belly suplex. When he went for the cover, Cactus chose that moment to strike , rushing into the ring and hitting Owen with an elbow to the back of the head. As the ref called for the DQ, Cactus and Cyrus double teamed Owen until Pierre Carl Ouellet rushed out and ran them out of the ring. Cyrus is dangerous enough on his own, but you have to watch your back when he has Cactus Jack by his side.

 

Steven Regal vs. Jim Neidhart

Jim Neidhart came up short in his Television Title match with his former partner Bret Hart, and was clearly looking to take his frustration out on young Regal. Regal was no pushover, and the two had a hard hitting match that left visible welts on each other's chests. Eventually, the Anvil just wore Regal down, and after a mighty running tackle that bowled over the young Englishman, Neidhart locked in the Anvilizer and forced him to tap out. But that was not enough for Neidhart, who kept putting the boots to Regal until Tony St. Clair charged out and laid into him with big forearms. Neidhart had just been through a grueling match but was still willing to throw down with Tough Tony, and it took PCW security to get the two separated. It looks like the Anvil has gained himself a new enemy in St. Clair.

PCW continues to be on a roll.  You do an awesome job getting everyone involved in the action.  So many great matches this week but you did a nice job keeping everyone looking strong with a few countouts.  I would really like to see Undertaker and Hennig go a few more rounds to see who really is the top dog in PCW.  As time has moved on in Dawn of War, Playboy has reinvented himself a bit by becoming even more cunning.  Nice job here.  Would like to see Dustin Rhodes face Windham in a few years to see who comes out on top.  It makes sense for Windham to be on top now but down the road, this might be a coin flip.
