rainmakerrtv Posted July 2, 2023 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2023 Pacific Coast Wrestling show from McArthur Court, Eugene, July 9th Brian Christopher vs. Art Barr Christopher continued his hot streak by defeating one half of the Golden State Tag Team champs with the Chris Cross (Full Nelson facebuster) Leo Burke vs. Cactus Jack Burke had his hands full with his former pupil, and Jack was able to stagger Burke with a running elbow smash before hitting the double arm DDT for the win. Alex Porteau vs. Steven Regal Porteau brought considerable scientific wrestling expertise to this match, and the two had quite the technical showdown before Regal was able to pull out the victory with the Regal-Plex. Shinya Hashimoto vs. Mark Starr This time , it was Starr's turn to shine, displaying an impressive amount of ring acumen before finally going down to Hashimoto's Leaping Spike DDT. Ricky Fuyuki vs. Doug Furnas Furnas cemented his departure from the Citadel by coming out alone and overpowering the Footloose member, crushing him with the Volunteer Slam (running Canadian Backbreaker into the corner) for the dominant win. The Southern Boys vs. The Destruction Crew Sunshine's men got right down to it with Ronnie P. Gossett's crew in a furious battle that went to the Southern Boys thanks to a running bulldog from Armstrong on Enos Pacific Television Title Match : "Diamond" Timothy Flowers © vs. Tony St. Clair St. Clair was trying to suplex Flowers from the ring apron into the ring when Steven Regal, who had snuck down to ringside, tripped him from the outside and held his leg down while Flowers covered him, robbing "Tough" Tony of the TV title.

spaldoni Posted July 8, 2023 Report Share Posted July 8, 2023 The Tournament of Lions continues to produce high octane action as Hart, Candido, Guerrero and Steamboat advance. I'm loving the match ups and we've got some cool ones coming up in the 2nd round. Payne proves he is a smart man by accepting Severn's offer. NOE better brace themselves. WOW! Just like that, Brookside's LHW title run is over. Well, Brookside proves he's a legit threat and I have a feeling Cheetah is going to be more even focused than ever. Portland, Anvil and Yoshi start the night on a wild note. Tenryu is mowing down the competition. Patriots turn the tables, or I should say chairs on Muscle Beach. It's just too hard to be a team consisting of Windham and Hennig. Rose is really reaching during this reign, and it looks like Muscle Beach's time in the Playboy Club is over. After a short but intense feud, Billy Jack sends Makhan packing. The fans in Portland were lucky to witness this blow off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spaldoni Posted July 8, 2023 Report Share Posted July 8, 2023 Eugene, Christopher racks up another impressive win. Speaking of impressive, Cactus puts down Burke with authority. Like Brookside, Regal is adapting well to single's competition. Starr looks good but Hashimoto stands out after that finish. With this new attitude, I expect big things from Furnas. Southern Boys get back into title contention with a big win over Destruction Crew. Solid match up. Regal's going to get it when my man St. Clair gets a hold of him. On the flip side, I'm enjoying Flowers TV title reign. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LastStopTour Posted July 8, 2023 Report Share Posted July 8, 2023 Big win for Brian Christopher. A few more like that under his belt and he is a shoo-in for a title shot. With the division as loaded as it is, Cheetah Kid and Brian Christopher would be low on my list as to who I thought would be top guys but they keep winning.

rainmakerrtv Posted July 10, 2023 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2023 Pacific Wrestling Showcase from the Oakland Alameda County Arena, Oakland, on ESPN / TSN, July 14th The Can-Am Express vs. Jerry Sims & Spencer Duhm In the past couple of weeks, Doug Furnas has taken leave of the Citadel, citing a difference in philosophy. Those wondering what his ultimate plans were got their answer when he came out with his new partner, Phil Lafon. Lafon was a former Pacific Tag Team Title holder (under the name Phil Lafleur) and had most recently been in Stampede Wrestling. While both men had previously been favorites of the fans, they came out paying no heed whatsoever to anyone in the crowd. While they didn't do anything per se outside the ring, there was a distinct air of ruthlessness as they utterly dismantled Sims and Duhm. After they polished off Duhm when Lafon clotheslined Sims into a German Suplex by Furnas, it was clear that a tag team to contend with had just made their debut. Tournament Of Lions Quarter Finals : Brian Pillman vs. Robbie Brookside Last week , Robbie Brookside lost his newly won Light Heavyweight title back to the Cheetah Kid, and was clearly looking to take out his frustrations on Brian Pillman. Flyin' Brian was certainly not about to take that sort of thing lying down (not Lyin' Brian?) and fought back with equal ferocity. The two had an intense and gripping match, but Brookside's hot temper would end up costing him. He got careless and went for the Northern Lights Suplex too soon, and Pillman was able to nail a brutal DDT to move on to the Semi-Finals. Tournament Of Lions Quarter Finals : Toshiaki Kawada vs. Dean Malenko These two have been having an exciting series of tag team matches, but would be squaring off in a singles bout in the Tournament Quarter Finals. It broke down to a battle to see who could hit the Brainbuster first, with Kawada hitting some blistering kicks to set his move up, with Dean countering with jarring takedowns. Malenko was able to hit several precision dropkicks to Kawada's knee, which allowed him to hit the Brainbuster and put an end to the match. Lou Perez & ?? ?? vs. Death Sentence (Jimmie Lee & The Hangman) Perez came out with Scott Hall, but "Gator" was not dressed in his ring gear so evidently would not be his partner. Hall asked for the ringside microphone. Hall : So Mr. So-Called Perfect decided he was too perfect for the Brigade. Well, if the Brigade does one thing well, it is being able to come back from a loss. I called on an old friend to see if they would be willing to come back to the Brigade, and he was all for it. He and I were Golden State Tag Team champs together, and I knew he would be just the right partner for the Ladies Man here … "Megaman" Tom Magee! The crowd cheers the return of Megaman, which is not surprising as the handsome young man had been quite popular during his previous run in PCW. Death Sentence tried to jump them before the bell, but Perez and Magee were ready to go and went at it fist and fire with the NOE team. The Gravedigger and the Hangman did everything they could to bring the match down into complete chaos. However Magee was able to catch Hangman off-guard with a lightning quick Superkick and score the win in his return match. Tournament Of Lions Quarter Finals : Owen Hart vs. Chris Candido These two young stars have become among the hottest contenders in PCW, showing why in an incredible match. They were both eager to win their spot in the Semi Finals, going all out to best the other one. This one was a real nail biter, with the excitement escalating until Owen caught Candido in a moonsault body press and scoring the hard fought three count. Tournament Of Lions Quarter Finals : Vic Steamboat vs. Eddie Guerrero The show closed off with the last match of the Quarter Finals, and the Demon kept up his battle with the Wild Things, dueling with one half of the Golden State tag champs. Steamboat didn't hold back at all, reddening Guerrero's chest with ferocious chops. Eddie seemed somewhat taken aback, but rallied with his own considerable in ring skill mixed in with some subterfuge. It looked like Steamboat would move on in the tournament when he had Eddie set up for the Demon Suplex (Tiger Suplex). However, much like last week , Guerrero cut it off with a nasty low blow back kick. He followed up with a Schoolboy Rollup assisted by a handful of tights and just like that, Eddie Guerrero had stolen his way into the Semi Finals.

rainmakerrtv Posted July 10, 2023 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2023 Pacific Coast Wrestling show from the Cow Palace , San Francisco, on Pacific Super Cards on ESPN / TSN, July 15th Maxx Payne vs. Cyrus The Virus Showing a renewed sense of purpose instilled by his new mentor Dan Severn, who was at ringside for the match, Payne put away the Virus with the Payne Threshold (front layout suplex). Bret Hart vs. "Mean" Mike Miller Another vicious brawl between these two that went to Bret when he levelled Miller with a diving clothesline. Brian Christopher vs. Bob Holly Jim Cornette's confidence in his young charge continued to get results as Christopher finished off Holly with the Chris Cross (Full Nelson facebuster) Billy Jack Haynes & Scott Hall vs. The Undertaker & Curt Hennig This was an incredibly heated battle between the Neighborhood Of Evil and their rivals. Billy Jack, fresh off running Makhan Singh out of town last week, was looking to put away Hennig when he nearly had the Full Nelson cinched in. But while the ref was distracted by Hall and Undertaker slugging it out on the outside, a burly tattooed man ran into the ring and clobbered Billy Jack with an elbow smash to the back of the head that dropped him like a shot. Billy Jack was then easy prey for the Perfect-Plex and the match went to the Neighborhood. Pacific Submission Title Match : Dan Severn © vs. Yoshiaki Yatsu Maxx Payne was at ringside and paying close attention to Dan Severn. The champion faced a stiff challenge in one of the Blood Syndicate, but was able to avoid the Jailhouse Lock and trap Yatsu in a half crab to force the tap out. Pacific Heavyweight Title Match : Barry Windham © vs. Dustin Rhodes Dustin did well against the champ, but Buddy Rose snuck down to ringside and tripped him coming off the ropes, leaving him vulnerable to a lariat from Windham to keep the title belt around the waist of the Widowmaker.

rainmakerrtv Posted July 10, 2023 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2023 Pacific Coast Wrestling show from the Selland Arena, Fresno, July 16th Jerry Lynn vs. Chris Candido Another barn burner match between these two, this time going to Lynn with a jarring Package Piledriver. Jim Neidhart vs. Steven Regal Neidhart's unbeaten streak in his home town of Fresno got a serious challenge from Steven Regal, who really pushed him to his limits. Unfortunately for Regal, his former friend Tony St. Clair came to ringside and observed the match. St. Clair did nothing to actively to interfere in the match, simply glaring at Regal, but Regal let himself get distracted by him. Regal stopped to jaw with St. Clair, only to turn around into a flying shoulder tackle that would give the win to the Anvil. Stormfront (Al Snow & Alex Porteau) vs. Joe & Dean Malenko Stormfront have had a hard road in getting established in PCW, but gave it their best against the Malenko Brothers. It looked they would come up short one more time when Joe got Porteau set up for a German Suplex. The Pug dug in and blocked it, then reversed it into a Bridging Back Suplex. Dean came in to break it up, but a dropkick from Snow cut him off, and the ref counted to three, giving Stormfront what would have to be considered a considerable upset. The crowd was jubilant that Snow and Porteau were able to pull it off. Tony St. Clair vs. Bob Backlund Regal was at ringside for this match, and on a number of occasions had to be held back by Chris Candido from interfering. St. Clair and Backlund had a hard hitting bout where Backlund was just barely able to hold down St. Clair with the Backlund Bridge. Leo Burke vs. Genichiro Tenryu Once again, the leader of the Blood Syndicate proved unstoppable as he pinned Burke with a Power Bomb. Pacific Light Heavyweight Title Match : The Cheetah Kid © vs. Masanobu Fuchi The Cheetah Kid had just regained his Light Heavyweight Title and determined not to lose it again, but faced a stern test in Masanobu Fuchi. The Blood Syndicate member was relentless as he went after the masked man, and the champ was just barely able to block an attempted backdrop suplex and counter with a swinging neckbreaker to emerge victorious.

Autistic Dragon Posted July 10, 2023 Report Share Posted July 10, 2023 Oakland. The Can-Am reunion is off to a good start. Brookside's championship frustrations cost him in the Tournament of Lions.

Payne's dry streak finally ends. The Hitman takes down Miller. Christopher gas got to have a title shot coming up. Looks like Paul Bearer has found someone else to handle his Haynes problem. Severn and Windham close out the night with a pair of successful defenses. Fresno. Lynn gets a point in his rivalry with Candido. Neidhart's Fresno streak is alive and well. Stormfront get their biggest win yet. Mr Backlund shows his boys how it's done. Tenryu topples the General. Cheetah Kid isn't letting the title slip away again without a fight.

spaldoni Posted July 15, 2023 Report Share Posted July 15, 2023 Finally! Furnas and Lafon are together! I think Brookside better control his temper. Dean's doing pretty well in single's action. He has a shot at winning the tournament and could be a strong challenger for Cheetah. Mega Man is back in PCW! He had a lot of success here and picks up right where he left off. The semi finals are set and I'm looking forward to more thrillers. Cow Palace, Severn gets Payne back on track. A motivated Payne is a dangerous Payne. Bret is getting closer to another shot at Flowers. Cornette continues to work wonders for Christopher. Man, a lot of big guys seem to have a problem with Billy Jack. Severn vs. Yoshi is what the Submission title is all about. Nobody gets up from Windham's lariat and a trip from Rose doesn't help. Fresno, Lynn's got to be happy with that big win. It's time Anvil got a title shot in Fresno. The man is unbeatable here. Oh man, Stormfront gets a huge upset over the Malenkos. That's a real confidence booster. No doubt about it, Backlund vs. St. Clair delivers anywhere. Tenryu continues to mow down the competition. Cheetah closes out the night with another exciting title defense.

rainmakerrtv Posted July 17, 2023 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2023 Pacific Wrestling Showcase from the Olympic Auditorium , Los Angeles , on ESPN / TSN, July 21st The show opens with a black screen. A picture and a caption appears. In Memory Of Pacific Coast Wrestling Competitor, Adrian Adonis 1953-1988 Bruiser Bedlam vs. Joe Dowdle Last week in San Francisco, Billy Jack Haynes was attacked by a mysterious stranger. This week, it was revealed that the attacker is the latest member of the Neighborhood Of Evil, one Bruiser Bedlam by name. A surly brawler from Hamilton , Ontario who sported several tattoos, Bedlam tore into poor Dowdle like a stewed chicken, battering him from pillar to post before submitting him with a double stomach claw. It looks like the Neighborhood is out for revenge on Billy Jack for running off Makhan Singh and has brought in a serious leg-breaker to get that done. The Footloose vs. The Can-Am Express Doug Furnas put the last nail in the coffin of his association with the Citadel when he brought out his new partner, Phil Lafon, to form the Can-Am Express. Tonight, they were facing the fast rising young Japanese team of the Footloose, who gave Furnas and Lafon all they could handle. Kawada and Fuyuki gave them a real run for their money, but Furnas was able to overpower Fuyuki with a German Suplex to earn the hard fought victory. Tournament Of Lions Semi Finals : Brian Pillman vs. Dean Malenko This would be the first Semi Final match in the Inaugural Tournament Of Lions and anticipation was running high. Pillman and Malenko are two of the hottest young stars in Pacific Coast Wrestling and both men were keen to get their shot at the $100000 prize, not to mention the enormous prestige of winning the tournament. Back when Pillman was Light Heavyweight Champion, he managed to get Dean to submit during a title defense, and Malenko was looking for payback. He was very intent on getting Flyin' Brian in the Texas Cloverleaf, coming close on several occasions, but the always resilient Pillman was able to escape. This singular focus of Malenko wound up costing him, as during one attempt to lock in the hold, Pillman trapped him in a Small Package for the one two three. Pillman now had the first spot in the finals. Who would be joining him? Dustin Rhodes vs. Mark Starr "Playboy" Buddy Rose has been running scared from Dustin Rhodes for a while now, throwing everyone in the Playboy Club into his path to cut him off. Tonight, it would be the turn of one half of the Pacific Tag Champs, and unlike his more boisterous partner Scotty The Body, Starr meant business. Tina Ferrari was at ringside, but despite her distraction, Rhodes was able to stay clear of both the Heel Hook and the Starrburst Suplex. Rhodes put down Starr with the Running Bulldog Headlock and score the pinfall. Rose must be clutching the California Title Belt extra tightly these days. Tournament Of Lions Semi Finals : Owen Hart vs. Eddie Guerrero The last match of the evening would decide the final spot the finals of the Tournament Of Lions. These two were very keen on getting that last spot, as well as upholding the reputations of the Hart and Guerrero families. They brought that heat to the match, going full bore from the get go. As the match went on, the two wrestlers took bigger chances, with a missed Frog Splash by Eddie and a dodged Moonsault by Owen taking their toll. The two pushed on and kept going until Owen caught Eddie coming off the ropes with a Belly To Belly Suplex and that was that. The finals were now set : Brian Pillman vs. Owen Hart.

Control21 Posted July 17, 2023 Report Share Posted July 17, 2023 Dan Severn continues his dominant run in PCW. Can anyone stop him?

Autistic Dragon Posted July 17, 2023 Report Share Posted July 17, 2023 LA. Touching tribute to Adonis. Bruiser Bedlam makes an impression. The Can-Am Express get some serious attention with a win over Footloose. Rhodes defeats Starr on his way back to the Playboy. Brian Pillman vs Owen Hart? Here's my money. LA night 2. Stormfront continues to roll. Tenryu is on a warpath. The Force and the DC get outta control. The Brigade partially turn the tide on the NoE. Windham shows the in PCW, he's Simply the best. Santa Barbara. Christopher and Candido go the distance with their mentors watching. Hashimoto strikes a blow against the Blood Syndicate. Hennig with a Perfect victory. Scotty takes advantage of a cat fight to steal a win. Severn maintains his grip on the Submission Title. The Midnights might've knocked even more of Barr's screws loose.

LastStopTour Posted July 20, 2023 Report Share Posted July 20, 2023 After making comments about WCW's claim to wanting to be the top dog in professional wrestling, eyes turn towards the one thing they lack - a solid Junior's division. That's where you come in. The best of the best of the smaller guys are on the West Coast. What kills you from being at the top (for me anyway) is the lack of a hierarchy as well as a reason to care for or to hate on any individuals. There has to be more than getting the entire roster work each week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LowBlowPodcast Posted July 22, 2023 Report Share Posted July 22, 2023 I agree with LastStop that PCW has the junior division on lockdown. There are a lot of pieces that you have here that really fit will together but like so many things... fresh is sometimes good. I think you're heading that way with a new crop of challenges for Windham but my money goes back to some specific names who could actually catch the title from him.

spaldoni Posted July 22, 2023 Report Share Posted July 22, 2023 I just watched the Adonis dark side of the ring episode, so it was cool seeing his tribute here. Makhan's out but is quickly replaced with Bedlam. Haynes better be on high alert. Then again, maybe it's Bedlam who needs to watch out. Haynes has fared pretty well against monsters. The Cam Am's are off to an incredible start. I know Rose is sweating right now. The finals are set and what a match we're going to get! Pillman vs. Owen could be a match of the year candidate. LA, Since their win over the Malenko's, Stormfront is riding high with confidence. Anyone holding gold better have eyes on Tenryu. 2 of my favorite PCW teams going at it, yea, I can get behind a FOJ/Destruction Crew feud. Brigade wins a battle but I have a feeling Taker is going to want a one on one with Gator. Windham has become a dominant champ. I'm loving his run right now. Shout out to AD for the 'Simply the best' reference. Santa Barbara, Show starts with a barnburner as the LHW's continue to shine. I mentioned this before, but Hashimoto has one of the best finishers in PCW. "Now you're going to see the perfect plex!" Always loved when Hennig yelled that. We might see some mixed tags in the future. Like Windham, Severn has an iron grip on his title. Hmmmmm, maybe a champ vs. champ match? Great match to cap off the night. I wonder what's going on with Barr? I agree with the others, you've done wonders with the LHW division. I also have to give you props on the tag team division. Both have become main event status.

rainmakerrtv Posted July 23, 2023 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2023 Pacific Wrestling Showcase from the Victoria Memorial Arena, Victoria, on ESPN / TSN, July 28th Stormfront (Al Snow & Alex Porteau) vs. The Footloose Snow and Porteau have come out of nowhere to go on something of an unbeaten streak, with victories in successive weeks over the Malenkos and the Hollys. Tonight , they would be facing the fast rising Japanese team of Kawada and Fuyuki. The Footloose were certainly not about to roll over for the upstart team, and the result was a hard hitting and highly competitive match. Porteau was able to catch Fuyuki in a takeover suplex, while Snow held off Kawada, and Stormfront have pulled off another upset, cementing their status as a team to watch. Brian Lee vs. Mike Borassi The big Bulldozer has earned the admiration of the fans in his short time in PCW, but has sometimes found himself on the short end of things in the Brigade's war with the Neighborhood of Evil. Determined to show what he was capable of, Lee dominated Borassi, giving him no chance to make a move before hitting the Prime Time Slam. Brian Lee is clearly not someone to be underestimated. Vic Steamboat vs. Art Barr Never the model of stability in the best of circumstances, Art Barr's behaviour has gotten progressively more erratic of late . He came our wearing bizarre dark eye makeup and twitching as he entered the ring. Steamboat wasn't quite sure what to make of it but, with his eyes set on the equally bizarre Cactus Jack, got down to business. Barr kept the Demon on his toes during the match but Steamboat's focus proved to be the equalizer and Steamboat executed the Demon Suplex (Tiger Suplex) for the win. The Southern Boys & Sunshine vs. The Sin City Superstars (Scotty The Body & Mark Starr) & Tina Ferrari The arrival of Tina Ferrari in the ranks of the Playboy Club has provided a chaotic element to the matches between the Sin City Superstars and The Southern Boys. It was only a matter of time before Ferrari and Sunshine were put directly into the game, resulting in this mixed tag match. Whereas before, Sunshine was timid in the presence of Ferrari, tonight she was determined not to be intimidated. Any time they interacted, Ferrari seemed caught off guard by the fury of Sunshine's attack. Buddy Rose was in the corner of his young charges, but the ref gave him strict orders to keep his nose out of things. That didn't stop things from breaking down into complete chaos, with all 6 competitors slugging it out in the ring at once. Sunshine was able to sweep Ferrari off her feet and was raining down punches on her, but while the ref was escorting the Southern Boys out of the ring, Scotty The Body pulled her off. He dragged her to her feet … then hit a brutal DDT! When the ref turned around, he only saw Ferrari on top of Sunshine and counted the pinfall. Armstrong and Smothers swept in to help their fallen manager, and a furious Billy Jack Haynes stormed out to the ring, but by that time, the Playboy Club were headed for the hills. Even Buddy Rose was giving Scotty a sideways look, but Scotty and Tina were cackling all the way, while the crowd looked on in shock and horror. Leo Burke vs. Cyrus The Virus The veteran Burke clearly had the crow on his side as he took on the sneaky and sinister Cyrus, who bore a wicked grin throughout the match. No matter what Burke did to try to get his hands on Cyrus, it seemed like the young Wild Thing would be able to wriggle out of his grasp. Cyrus eventually got overconfident, and quick as a flash, Burke was able to execute a belly to back suplex for the win. The fans loudly cheered their fellow Canadian on his hard fought victory. Tournament Of Lions Finals : Brian Pillman vs. Owen Hart After 5 weeks of tournament action, it all comes down to this. In the same place the tournament began, the field of 16 contenders came down to just two worthy competitors. Pillman and Hart are fire forged friends, having been Golden State Tag Team champs as the Snowbirds, but now that would have to go out the window. Only one could emerge victorious. The two shook hands before the bell rang, then got right down to brass tacks. The two started off slowly, for although they knew each other well, they were tentative about being too aggressive with each other. As the tempo of the match picked up, however, they started digging into their big moves, becoming more and more willing to do what it took to come out on top. The crowd watched in rapt attention as the excitement just kept increasing. Flyin' Brian and Owen took more and more chances, and the match grew into a real nail biter. Owen was able to send Brian flying out of the ring with a spectacular dropkick, but Pillman was just barely able to catch himself on the top rope and land on the ring apron. With lightning speed, he hit the Air Pillman on Owen and went for the cover. One … two … THREE!!!!! After a tightly competed match, Flyin' Brian emerged victorious , winning both the Tournament and the $100 000 prize. Brian helped Owen to his feet and Owen raised Brian's hand in victory, while the fans cheered the two friends for the classic match they had just put on.

rainmakerrtv Posted July 23, 2023 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2023 Pacific Coast Wrestling show from the Pacific Coliseum, Vancouver on Pacific Super Cards on ESPN / TSN , July 29th Pierre Carl Ouellet vs. Bruiser Bedlam The tough as nails PCO was not about to go down easy for the big Bruiser, and put up a hell of a fight, but Bedlam was able to land a crushing elbow smash to the head from the top rope to win this duel between two pugnacious Canadians. Lou Perez & Tom Magee vs. Bob & Crash Holly Magee, another well respected Canadian competitor, knocked out Crash with a Superkick for the win. The Force Of July (The Patriot & The Eagle) & Brian Lee vs. The Destruction Crew & Cactus Jack Eager to capitalize on his win the day before, Lee was keen to throw down with Cactus Jack , and the New Mexico Madman was more than willing to oblige. It looked like Lee's momentum would come to a halt when Cactus had him set up for the Double Arm DDT, but Lee blocked it and hit a bridging backdrop suplex for the win. The Can Am Express vs. Joe & Dean Malenko These two fast rising teams went to a 20 minute time limit draw. Bret Hart vs. "Mean" Mike Miller Another knock down, drag out battle between these two that Bret took with a diving clothesline. Billy Jack Haynes, Scott Hall & Dan Severn vs. Barry Windham, Curt Hennig & The Undertaker Windham seemed taken by surprise by Dan Severn, as the Pacific Submission Champion hit several jarring throws and suplexes that knocked the Pacific Heavyweight Champion for a loop. Unfortunately for Billy Jack, overwhelmed with concern for his missing manager Sunshine, that distraction proved too much as a Western Lariat from Windham gave the victory to the Neighborhood Of Evil.

rainmakerrtv Posted July 23, 2023 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2023 Pacific Coast Wrestling show from the Kelowna Memorial Arena, Kelowna, July 30th Jerry Lynn & Brian Christopher vs. Chris Candido & Cyrus The Virus It's hard to say which of the two teams was more of an odd pairing, but it was Christopher who ultimately prevailed by hitting the Chris Cross on Cyrus Tony St. Clair vs. Steven Regal "Tough" Tony did what he could to discipline his former student, but Regal went to the gutter and knocked him out with a hidden pair of brass knucks for the pin Maxx Payne vs. Robbie Brookside Brookside was all over Payne in the early going, but the lessons of Payne's new friend Dan Severn paid off as he was able to weather out the storm and hit the Payne Threshold (front layout suplex) for the win Jim Neidhart & Shinya Hashimoto vs. Yoshiaki Yatsu & Masanobu Fuchi The Anvil and Hashimoto were able to outlast the Blood Syndicate when Hashimoto hit the Leaping Spike DDT on Fuchi Vic Steamboat vs. Genichiro Tenryu The Demon did his best but ended up another victim of the Power Bomb, with another triumph going for Tenryu Pacific Television Title Match : "Diamond" Timothy Flowers © vs. Leo Burke In spite of a valiant effort from Burke, Flowers was able to hit the Piledriver and successfully defend his title.

Control21 Posted July 23, 2023 Report Share Posted July 23, 2023 Fantastic match between Owen Hart and Brian Pillman. I imagine that was an instant classic. Joe and Dean Malenko vs the Can-Am Express also sounds pretty tasty. For the third night, Hashimoto/Neidhart vs Yatsu/Fuchi seems like the MOTN.

LastStopTour Posted July 23, 2023 Report Share Posted July 23, 2023 Scotty the Body is proving to be pure evil in dealing with Sunshine, though I don't think Tina Ferrari would have needed any help whatsoever. I stand by what I said about the light heavies here. Pullman/Owen just proves that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
