Pacific Coast Wrestling show from the Pacific Coliseum, Vancouver on Pacific Super Cards on ESPN / TSN , May 4th

 

Dean Malenko vs. Beetlejuice

 

Malenko was able to catch Beetlejuice coming off the ropes with a dropkick to the knee, then forced him to submit to the Texas Cloverleaf

 

Chris Candido vs. Scotty The Body

 

Candido put in a game effort, but Scotty took him down with the Body Shot (DDT)

 

Bret Hart vs. Fit Finlay

 

This was a fierce battle with both men fighting out of attempts at the Sharpshooter and the Celtic Knot, and finally ended with Bret just barely pinning Finlay with a Schoolboy Rollup out of the corner.

 

Dan Severn & Stormwatch (Al Snow & Alex Porteau) vs. The Oregon Wrecking Crew (Billy Jack Haynes, Gary Albright & David Young)

 

The new Pacific Tag champs of Snow and Porteau of trying to get their leader Severn invested in the match. The OWC capitalized on their disarray, with Young pinning Porteau with his feared Spinebuster Slam.

 

California Title Match : Steven Regal © vs. Steve Austin

 

These two were both keyed up, having an incredibly fierce battle over the California Title. Regal managed to get Austin down and was trying to lock him in the Regal Stretch, but Austin kicked him off, sending the champ crashing into the ref and knocking the official out. This is where things took a turn from the bizarre. Out of nowhere, someone came rushing out to the ring and attacked Regal with kicks and punches. It was Tony Atlas, making his first appearance in PCW in quite some time. He grabbed Regal and hit a devastating piledriver, in part of some apparent weekend long celebration of people rushing into the ring and hitting others with piledrivers. He then pointed to Austin and gestured him to pin Regal before running out, as quickly as he came in. Austin stared blankly … then shrugged and grinned as he pulled the unconscious Regal up from the mat, hoisted him over his shoulder, and hit the Stun Gun, adding insult to injury. He then roused the referee and had him count the pinfall. Just like that, Austin was now California champ. Bret came out after the match, seemingly to celebrate his man's title victory, but it was all Bret could do to stare at Austin in disappointment and confusion. Austin just gave him another cocksure shrug before leaving the ring with the title belt slung over his shoulder.

 

Pacific Heavyweight Title Match : Ricky Steamboat © vs. The Soultaker

 

Even though his undefeated streak came to an end at Vegas Vengeance courtesy of Billy Gunn, the Soultaker is still a fearsome competitor , as he showed as he challenged for the Pacific Heavyweight Title. The big man really took it to the Dragon, battering him with crushing power moves. Steamboat was able to battle back and hit the Diving Crossbody for the win, but you could tell afterwards that he had been in a fight.

Golden State Tag Team Title Match : The Midnight Express © vs. The Dreamboats (Tommy Dreamer & Glamour Boy Shane)

 

Despite going out in the opening round of the Moondog Lonnie Mayne Memorial Tag Team Tournament, the Dreamboats still had the love of the fans, and came out set on showing that they were still worthy contenders. There was a bit of an altercation between Sherri Martel and Trisa Hayes early in the match, otherwise the action was kept in the ring. The Dreamboats kept the champs on the run for much of the match, and it took a well timed tennis racquet shot from Cornette to allow a flying kneedrop from Eaton on Shane that gave the Express the victory. Nevertheless, the Dreamboats were able to prove something to themselves.

 

Brian Lee vs. Big Juice

 

Carrying on from his big win at Vegas Vengeance where he sent the feared Undertaker packing, "Bulldozer" Brian Lee took Big Juice off his feet with big boot out of the corner, then hit the Prime Time Slam for the win.

Victoria.

Michaels & Jannety are ready to Rock the west coast.

Well he may have lost Christopher butCornette has not only secured the services but manages to bring the Lover Boy back to PCW.

The Southern Boys finally snap on Gunn.

A successful return for Douglas.

Reno Riggins -who totally isn't from Tennessee by the way- makes his return to make the Playboy even stronger.

Ted Dibiase, Terry Gordy AND Steve Williams? And that is a Triangle of Terror.

Vancouver.

Malenko ground Beettlejuice.

Scotty's singles run is off to a good start.

Hart struggles to get past Finlay.

If I were in the Citadel I'd be losing patience with Severn pretty quick.

Tony Atlas returns and the first thing he does is hand the California title to Austin? Curious.

Soultaker's gone from a winning streak to the beginning of a losing streak.

Kelowna.

Condrey shows he can win on his own.

Blackman is seriously stepping up lately.

Azul with a solid win.

The Dreamboats come so close but remain so far away.

Lee is on the role of his career.

Rose just clipped the Eagles' wings.

Damn! The Rockers, Sherri, Condrey's return. That was one hell of a way to open the show. The Rockers vs. Midnights will be money!! 

Ok, it's now official, the Southern Boys have snapped and are now cemented heels. At least Gunn has some back up with Rhodes. 

I agree, Douglas did bring some sunshine. 

I knew Rose would be beyond smug and arrogant and he didn't disappoint. Another surprise return as Reno slips right back into things. 

Can Ams keep their momentum going. 

NO WAY!!!! After quite a build the Triangle of Terror is finally revealed. Dibiase, Gordy and Williams! What a faction! Huge moment in PCW. 

This might have been the best PCW TV show ever. Awesome job!

Vancouver, 

Malenko is looking to make a run at the LHW title as is Scotty the Body. 

Finlay puts up a fight but the Hitman prevails. 

Man, I hope Severn snaps out of it or worse, he might snap like the Southern Boys. 

WOW! Another return as Atlas helps Austin win the CA title. Like AD said, very curious. I think we're heading into a Hart/Austin program. A lot went down in this match. 

Soultaker gives the world champ a fight. No shame in losing to Steamboat, but I'm sure he's concerned with dropping 2 in a row following a brutal win streak. 

Kelowna,

Condrey's off to a good start. 

Blackman's on his game. 

Azul keeping the fire gong in the LHW division. 

Dreamboats tried but the Midnights are on a totally different level right now. 

Sending Taker packing has given Lee a serious career boost. 

AWWWWW sorry to see the FOJ part ways. I loved that team. 

So much great stuff happening in Pacific.

Pacific Wrestling Showcase from the Portland Sports Arena, Portland , on ESPN / TSN, May 10th

 

Shane Douglas vs. The Jackal

 

Last week, Shane Douglas made his surprising but successful return to the west coast in a winning effort. Tonight, his competition increased considerably as he took on the always devious Jackal. The masked man attempted his usual array of dirty tricks, but the speed and enthusiasm of Douglas was able to carry him past them. The Jackal eventually got so upset he went for his final option, as it looked like he would attempt to use the toxic Crimson Death Dust on the Pittsburgh native. But before he could do so, Douglas got in close and hit a lightning quick belly to belly suplex on the Jackal and got the one two three. The Jackal was livid at this result but the crowd was ecstatic as they celebrated with Douglas for his big victory.

 

Interview : Don Coss stands in the Crow's Nest

 

Coss : Ladies and gentlemen, my next guests are experience some setbacks lately on the Pacific Coast … the Citadel!

 

The crowd warmly greets the Citadel as they head out to the Crow's Nest, but they don't seem to notice. Dan Severn looks downcast, while Steve Blackman, Al Snow, Alex Porteau and Maxx Payne all look concerned.

 

Snow : Don, if you don't mind, this is Citadel business, so I will take things from here. Dan … what's going on? You have been more and more out of it in your matches. We keep looking to you for leadership, but you just aren't there. What gives?

 

Severn : Al, guys … I've lost it. Billy Jack Haynes took the Pacific Submission Title from me, and in doing so, he made me look like a chump. That title was my biggest achievement in PCW, I like to think I gave it some prestige. Now it's gone, and I don't have it anymore. I've lost my edge, and I am not able to get it back. I'm not fit to lead the Citadel anymore. I think it's best that I turn over the leadership to Steve and resign.

 

The rest of the Citadel look to each other and seem to come to a wordless agreement.

 

Blackman : Dan, with all due respect … HELL, NO! (Severn is startled) You founded this group, and no matter what, you are the only leader we want. You are in a bit of a slump. They happen. But you are still the Beast. You've forgotten more about grappling than any of us will ever know. We will get you back up to speed, no matter what it takes, but you need to promise to at least meet us half way.

 

Payne : Dan, you took me in when the Neighborhood Of Evil kicked me out on my ass. You showed faith in me when nobody else did. We have faith in you, and you need to have some faith in yourself.

 

Porteau : You are the Man, you just need to remember it. We have your back come hell or high water.

 

Severn : Guys, I … I don't know what to say. Yes, I'm in. I will do everything to live up to your faith in me.

 

Dennis Condrey vs. Ibrehem Rahman

 

Another surprising recent return to Pacific Coast Wrestling has been that of Dennis Condrey. After interfering under a mask at Vegas Vengeance, "Loverboy" Dennis is now fully back in the fold of Camp Cornette, and James E. Cornette is clearly pleased as punch to have him back. It didn't take Condrey long to show why, as he easily dismantled Rahman before putting him down for good with a Full Nelson Facebuster. With the return of both Condrey and the Golden State Tag Team Titles, Cornette and his men are clearly riding high again.

 

Interview : Don Coss stands in the Crow's Nest

 

Coss : Ladies and gentlemen , my next guests have make one of the most impactful debuts in the history of PCW … the Triangle Of Terror.

 

The crowd boos loudly as they come out, but that doesn't seem to bother Ted Dibiase, Steve Williams and Terry Gordy, who are all sneers and laughter as they walk out to the Crow's Nest.

 

Coss : Ted Dibiase, you've never wrestled before in PCW, but you and your … uhh … men come out of nowhere to savagely attack Barry Windham! What on earth is going on?

 

Dibiase :  The answer is simple, Coss, even for someone as simple as you! I have accomplished anything I have set my mind to. I am a Man Of Means, and what I want, I take. I saw the West Coast as a big glittering prize, and I intend to take it as the biggest jewel in my crown. To do this, I knew just the right person to join me in this quest. Someone I trusted above all others, my good friend, Doctor Death!

 

Williams : That's right, Ted. I have heard a lot of balloon juice about how the best competitors in wrestling are in PCW. Well, what I've seen so far doesn't impress me at all. The Triangle is going to tear it all down and show you what real wrestlers look like.

 

Dibiase : I knew right away who our first target would be. Barry Windham is the last Pacific Heavyweight champion and would be standing in our way for any title shots. I immediately hatched a plan to get this obstacle out of our way before we even got here. We started sending notes, taking over the lights, getting inside his head until he didn't know up from down. But to get the ultimate edge, we needed someone who was going to make it personal. Someone with a grudge to work out. That is where my man Terry comes into the picture.

 

Gordy : Barry Windham, you remember me? You got me and my Freebird brothers kicked out of PCW. Well, I am back and badder than ever! You found out, didn't you? We sent you out on a stretcher, and if you know what's good for you, you will take the hint and stay out of our way. Just get the hell out of the Pacific Coast entirely unless you want us to send you our permanently. And hey, Ricky Steamboat … don't you dare for a second think I have forgotten about you. I was the most dominant Pacific Heavyweight Champion until you came along. Well, I hope you have been enjoying babysitting my belt for me, because it is all about to come to an end. It's only a matter of time.

 

Coss : But you haven't just been harassing Barry Windham, you have also ..

 

Dibiase : Uh uh, Coss, not just yet. We aren't going to give away all of our secrets at once. Let's just say that we will make our next move when the time is right. Until the time comes, take it as a warning. Pacific Coast Wrestling is about to take on a new shape : the Triangle Of Terror!

 

Tony Atlas vs. Bobby John Drinkard

 

Someone else to make a shocking arrival (or, in his case, return) by ambush in PCW has been Tony Atlas. The three time Mr. USA brutally attacked Steven Regal last week, basically handing the California Title to Steve Austin. He is clearly as fearsome as ever, and he made short work of Drinkard. Atlas whipped the young rookie from pillar to post and piledrove him to the mat before forcing him to give up to a Full Nelson. Hmmm, wonder what Billy Jack Haynes might make of him using his finisher.

 

The Eagle, Vic Steamboat & The Dreamboats (Tommy Dreamer & Glamour Boy Shane) vs. The Playboy Club (Buddy Rose, Scotty The Body, Mark Starr & Reno Riggins)

 

After their reorganization last week, the Playboy Club came out and delivered a considerable show of force. With Tina Ferrari and the imposing Mike Awesome at ringside, they were clearly a faction to be reckoned with. The Eagle and Vic Steamboat were both dealing with the recent departure of their respective partners, and while the Dreamboats did their best to keep things together, it was no match for the well oiled machine that was the Playboy Club. Riggins was able to catch Steamboat in the Reno Plex (Cradle Suplex) for the win . After the match, Awesome added insult to injury , or possibly further injury to injury, giving a spiteful Power Bomb to Steamboat. The Playboy Club are clearly staking their own claim on the Pacific Coast.

 

Pacific Light Heavyweight Title Match : Eddie Guerrero © vs. Erin O'Grady

 

The evening closed off a thrilling light heavyweight match. The Leprechaun has been really feeling his oats of late, and went all out against the champ. Guerrero was given all he could handle from O'Grady, and it was all he could do to get him down and force him to tap out to a leglock that he calls the Lasso From El Paso. O'Grady may not have won the title, but he certainly has won the respect of Guerrero and the fans.

Pacific Coast Wrestling show from the Portland Memorial Coliseum , Portland , on Pacific Super Cards on ESPN / TSN, May 11th

 

The Rockers vs. The Destruction Crew

 

The Rockers were perfectly synchronized, sending Enos out of the ring with a double back body drop, then taking down Bloom with a double crescent kick and putting him down for good with a double flying fistdrop, scoring an incredibly impressive win over the former Pacfic Tag Team champs.

 

Dean Malenko vs. David Young

 

Malenko was able to outlast Young's rough and tumble offense, taking him down and forcing him to submit to a cross armbreaker.

 

Toshiaki Kawada vs. Genichiro Tenryu

 

Tenryu was evidently furious at having to wait for his rematch with Ricky Steamboat, taking his frustrations out on Kawada. He battered the young Japanese star before pinning him following a scoop Brainbuster.

 

Pacific Television Title Match : Buddy Rose © vs. Jerry Lynn

 

Lynn gave the Playboy a spirited challenge but ultimately was defeated by the Inside Out Backbreaker

 

Pacific Tag Team Title Match : Stormwatch (Al Snow & Alex Porteau) © vs. The Southern Boys

 

The Southern Boys showed their descent to the wild side with a ferocious brawl that wound up being declared a no contest by the ref when the match got completely out of control.

 

Pacific Heavyweight Title Match : Ricky Steamboat © vs. Chris Adams

 

This show closed out with an absolute barn burner, with Adams gunning hard for the big title. Steamboat just barely dodged the dreaded Superkick, and when Adams attempted a DDT, the Dragon was able to counter with an inside cradle to earn the hard fought win.

Pacific Coast Wrestling show from McArthur Court, Eugene, May 12th

 

Steve Williams & Terry Gordy vs. The Oregon Wrecking Crew (Gary Albright & David Young)

 

Young was coming in with his arm still in rough shape from the night before, but that didn't stop him from pulling out all the stops against Williams and Gordy. Albright was always at his partner's back, and they gave quite a fight to the Triangle members, until Williams caught Young coming off the ropes with a power slam and get the win.

 

Vic Steamboat vs. Dennis Condrey

 

The Demon was also coming in banged up from a match earlier in the weekend, but did his best against the veteran Condrey before going down to the Gourdbuster.

 

Kensuke Sasaki vs. Masahiro Chono

 

These two young Japanese stars had an intense and gripping duel, with the aggression of Chono proving to be the difference maker as he forced Sasaki to tap out to the STF.

 

Steve Blackman vs. Erin O'Grady

 

O'Grady kept up his energetic roll in an extremely competitive match with the Lethal Weapon before being caught coming off the ropes and hit with a spin kick to the head, giving the decision to Blackman.

 

The Suicide Blondes (Chris Candido & Louie Spicolli) vs. The Sin City Superstars (Mark Starr & Reno Riggins)

 

The new model Sin City Superstars showed what they could do against the up and coming Suicide Blondes. In a fast paced match, it was the Superstars hitting the combo of a schoolboy trip by Starr and a running cross body by Riggins on Spicolli getting the win.

 

Dustin Rhodes & Billy Gunn vs. The Juice Crew (Beetlejuice & Big Juice)

 

Clearly gearing up to take on the newly wild Southern Boys, Rhodes and Gunn faced the always unpredictable Juice Crew and were able to pull out the victory with Gunn executing the Sidewinder (spinning side suplex) on Big Juice

 

California Title Match : Steve Austin © vs. Fit Finlay

 

In his first defense of his newly won California title, Austin was facing a familiar opponent in the Belfast Bruiser. Austin was now cutting more corners and using more cheap shots, not that Finlay was intimidated. Nonetheless, Austin was able to lure Finlay into a rollup assisted by a fistful of tights and his feet on the ropes to pin his shoulders to the mat.

Douglas is quickly gaining momentum. 

It's good to have friends. The Citadel show support and Severn accepts it. 

I can't tell you how cool it is to see Condrey, Lane and Eaton all together in a faction. 

How do you stop a trio consisting of Dibiase, Gordy and Williams??? 

I always had fun writing for Atlas. I can tell you do too. 

The Playboy Club are in total unison right now. 

Eddie continues the tradition of hot LHW title main events. 

Portland,

The Rockers are enjoying a successful tour. 

I think Malenko has a claim for a LHW title shot. 

Tenryu makes it known he still wants the title. 

That crafty vet Rose loves giving the youngsters a wrestling lesson. 

The Southern Boys are unhinged and might be wearing gold soon. 

Steamboat vs. Adams is an awesome match up. The fans got their money's worth on that one. 

Eugene,

Williams and Gordy are such an awesome team. 

I know Cornette relished Condrey's win over Vic. 

Chono gets an impressive win. 

Blackman has been on a terror since his return. 

It seems all the members of the Playboy Club just can't lose right now. 

It's going to be an explosion when Rhodes and Gunn meet the Southern Boys.

Austin's bending the rules but it's been paying off.

Pacific Wrestling Showcase from the Oakland Alameda County Arena, Oakland, on ESPN / TSN, May 17th

 

The Triangle Of Terror (Ted Dibiase, Steve Williams & Terry Gordy) vs. Jim Lynch, Blake Towsley & Brian Corridan

 

It's been a couple of weeks since the Triangle Of Terror made their shocking debut in PCW, and this would be the first time since then that the three of them would be in the ring in a match. They certainly cemented their fearsome reputation, devastating the opposition and running rampage all over the three rookies. Two accentuate the point, Corridan, who at this point was pretty much a ragdoll after their battering, was put away with a double spike piledriver. The Triangle Of Terror are making an impact, and it is terrifying indeed.

 

Dan Severn & Maxx Payne vs. The Juice Crew (Beetlejuice & Big Juice)

 

After last week, Severn is re-dedicating himself to the leadership of the Citadel, with the full support of the other members. He was a bit slow to get going against the notorious Juice Crew, but with the encouragement of Maxx Payne, he became more sure of himself. Payne whipped Big Juice into Severn, who took him over with a crushing backdrop suplex. Payne held off Beetljuice while Severn got the pinfall. If Severn isn't all the way back yet, he is certainly making important strides to get there.

 

Interview : Don Coss stands in the ring

 

Coss : Ladies and gentlemen, my next guest recently made a shocking return to Pacific Coast Wrestling … Tony Atlas!

 

The booing of the fans doesn't seem to have an effect on Atlas, as he came out bearing a ferocious scowl that he maintained all the way to the ring.

 

Coss : Tony Atlas, no one was expecting you to come back to PCW, but what on earth possessed you to attack Steven Regal and cost him the California Title?

 

Atlas : You watch your mouth, Coss, I have my reasons. Since I left PCW, I started hearing about some English punk strutting around like a tall dog in short grass. Even had the nerve to call his team British Steel. Well, I just showed how easily British Steel breaks. It's no match for Iron & Steel, that's for sure. I am the strongest allow that there is, and no English brat is going to get in my way.

 

Coss : But why cost Regal his California Title? Are you somehow trying to help Steve Austin?

 

Atlas : Austin don't mean squat to me. People around here have forgotten about Tony Atlas. Big mistake. I took that creep down to make a statement. Nobody is ever going to overlook Tony Atlas again!

 

Non-Title Match : The Rockers vs. The Midnight Express

 

It didn't take long for the Rockers to get the attention of Pacific Coast fans. After several exciting appearances, it didn't take long for a match to be signed between the WWF United States Tag Team champions and the PCW Golden State Tag Team champs, albeit with neither set of titles on the line. The Rockers came out first, running the ropes to build up the excitement with the fans. The Midnight Express were next, accompanied by Jim Cornette and Sensational Sherri Martel, looking quite unimpressed with their opposition. As Marty Janetty ran the ropes on the side the Express were coming past, Stan Lane reached in and snagged his leg to trip him, all of the Express laughing as he fell flat on his face. The immediately stopped laughing when both members of the Rockers dove over the top tope and started brawling with them. Cornette cowered behind the ring steps while Sherri got some vicious kicks in whenever she could. The two sides kept brawling, paying no heed to the referee until he had no choice but to throw the match out and declare a no contest. A disappointing result, but you can bet that a rematch will be signed, sooner rather than later.

 

Phoenix Rising (Toshiaki Kawada & Kensuke Sasaki) vs. The Oregon Wrecking Crew (Gary Albright & David Young)

 

From their peak at the first part of the year as one of the most feared factions in all of PCW, the Oregon Wrecking Crew have taken quite a tumble in fortunes. They have found themselves the targets of harassment from the newly arrived Triangle Of Terror, and Young was coming in with a damaged arm from last week from matches with both the Triangle and Dean Malenko. The Japanese team eagerly capitalized on Young's injury, ruthlessly targeting it while keeping Albright out of the ring. Part way through the match, the Triangle Of Terror came out but did not interfere, simply standing at the back and observing the match while whispering to each other before returning to the locker room. Sasaki executed a vicious single arm takedown on Young before trapping him in a Wakigatame armbar, but Young refused to give up, and it came down to Albright having to throw in the towel to prevent further injury. Young was clearly in a lot of pain but clearly had a look of barely restrained fury as he left the ring.

 

California Title Match : Steve Austin © vs. Vic Steamboat

 

The last match would be a defense for Steve Austin's California Title , with Austin becoming a figure of some controversy since winning the title. He has shown progressive tendency to push boundaries and skirt the rules, to the obvious chagrin of his mentor, Bret Hart, who was at ringside for this match. His challenger, Vic Steamboat, comes in the match keen to establish himself as his own man, outside of the dual shadows of his brother Ricky Steamboat and his now departed partner Brian Adams. He was quite a handful for Austin, who became more and more aggressive as the match went on. When Steamboat tried to get Austin set up for the Demon Suplex (Tiger Suplex), Austin shut it down with a vicious elbow shot to the face, then followed up with a rollup assisted by a fistful of tights to get the win. After the match, Austin immediately got in Hart's face, bellowing at him and asking if he had something to say, but the Hitman simply shook his head in disappointment and tried to walk away . Austin grabbed him by the shoulder and spun him around, getting in his face, but again Bret's only reply was a stony look. Eventually, tempers cooled and the two left in different directions, but something tells me that this alliance is not long for this world.

Bam Bam Bigelow & Shinya Hashimoto vs. The Fighting Irish (Fit Finlay & Erin O'Grady)

Pacific Television Title Match : Buddy Rose © vs. Bret Hart

 

Hart gave the wily veteran Rose a considerable challenge for the TV title. Partway through the match, Steve Austin came down to ringside and started arguing with Hart. While the ref was ordering Austin back to the locker room, Scotty The Body capitalized on the distraction by sneaking into the ring and hitting the Body Shot (DDT) on Hart. Rose capitalized with a running splash for the tainted victory.

 

Pacific Heavyweight Title Match : Ricky Steamboat © vs. Chris Adams

 

Adams got a rematch from the previous week and definitely gave Steamboat a run for his money. Adams nearly landed his always deadly Superkick on Steamboat coming off the ropes, but Steamboat slid under it, then followed up with a bridging back suplex to pull out the win.

Really enjoyed what you did with all the WCW guys coming in.  Tony Atlas with the big piledriver helps Steve Austin win the title.

The Triangle is my new favorite heel group!

WWF Rockers vs PCW MNE... Very cool.

PCW has no many huge names with great angles going on.  Great job!

Pacific Wrestling Showcase from the Olympic Auditorium , Los Angeles , on ESPN / TSN, May 24th

 

The Dreamboats (Tommy Dreamer & Glamour Boy Shane) vs. The Sin City Superstars (Mark Starr & Reno Riggins)

 

With Scotty The Body's switch to singles action, the rivalry between the Dreamboats and the Sin City Superstars rolls on with Reno Riggins taking over his spot and losing none of the vitriol. These two teams went at a furious pace, with an emphasis on furious, and the ref struggled to maintain some sort of semblance of order. It completely broke down when all four men were in the ring brawling, with even Trisa Hayes and Tina Ferrari tearing at each other. The referee had no choice but to declare a no contest, and security were forced to come out and separate the two sides. These two teams are a powderkeg, and it may well be at Seattle Showdown where that blows sky high.

 

The Rockers & Vic Steamboat vs. The Midnight Express & Dennis Condrey

 

Another tag team feud that has been growing in intensity lately has been that between the Rockers and the Midnight Express. Since the arrival of the Rockers from the WWF, Jim Cornette's men have had it in for them, and the result has been some explosive matches. This time, Vic Steamboat and the returning Dennis Condrey got caught in the line of fire, with understandable chaotic results. Eaton wound up blindsiding Steamboat, setting him up for the Full Nelson Facebuster from Condrey to give them the win. That said, nothing is truly resolved between the two teams, and the hatred between the two teams remains as hot as ever rolling into their big match at Seattle Showdown.

 

Shane Douglas vs. The Jackal

 

Shane Douglas made his return a few weeks ago and surprised many with his win over the Jackal. The masked man was eager to even the score and a rematch was quickly signed. Despite the Jackal's more aggressive tactics, Douglas managed to stay one step ahead of him for most of the match. It eventually got to the point where Jackal signalled to the locker room, and the big Soultaker came out and attacked Douglas, leading to a DQ finish. The Wild Things didn't care as they continued to double team Douglas. Then, unexpectedly, someone came to the rescue, swinging a chair. It was Cactus Jack! The man from Truth Or Consequences had not been seen since Vegas Vengeance, but was able to clock both Jackal and Soultaker with the chair before the pair made a tactical retreat. He then helped Douglas to his feet and put his arm around his shoulder to support him. It looks like Douglas is no longer alone, with his old friend Cactus at his side.

 

Dan Severn & Stormfront (Al Snow & Alex Porteau) vs. The Oregon Wrecking Crew (Billy Jack Haynes, Gary Albright & David Young)

 

The fortunes of the OWC have taken a considerable tumble of late. From rising quickly to the top of the Pacific Coast, they find themselves targets of the Triangle Of Terror and with Young dealing with an arm injury. That said, they put in a strong effort against the Pacific Tag Team champs and the newly resurgent Dan Severn. It was when Young and Albright were both in the ring fighting all three members of the Citadel that the Triangle struck. Dibiase, Gordy and Williams rushed down to the ring and ambushed Billy Jack. Gordy pulled him down off the ring apron, Dibiase slugged him with a black glove clad fist, and Williams hoisted him over his shoulder and torpedoed him, shoulder first, several times into the ring post. They then shoved Haynes into the ring before disappearing into the night. Severn turned around , saw Haynes on the ground, and reflexively put him in a Fujiwara armbar. Billy Jack immediately screamed out his submission, and Severn, realizing that something was amiss, released it right away. The Citadel members were confused, but Billy Jack was clearly in agony when the other OWC members helped him to the back.

 

Tony Atlas vs. Brandon Bellinger

 

After his recent attack on Steven Regal and his subsequent declaration of intent in an interview with Don Coss, Tony Atlas showed his true mettle in the ring this week. And it was mighty indeed. He battered poor Bellinger and slammed him all over the ring, finally putting him out of his misery with a jarring piledriver. It hasn't taken long since his return to the west coast for Atlas to regain his always fearsome reputation.

 

Brian Lee vs. Genichiro Tenryu

 

We are just one week away from Tenryu getting his second shot at Ricky Steamboat's Pacific Heavyweight Title, this time in a cage. For his last match before that, he certainly wasn't taking on light opposition. Brian Lee has recently pulled off his most impressive victory yet, running his cousin the Undertaker out of PCW, and was not about to be a stepping stone for the Japanese legend. True to form, these two had a closely contested bout that thrilled the audience. Tenryu was able to take Lee down with an enzuigiri, but Lee was able to kick out at 2 and ¾ . Tenryu then hit a high angle power bomb, and that was enough to finally put Lee away. Next stop, Seattle Showdown and an appointment with the Dragon.

Pacific Coast Wrestling show from the LA Sports Arena, Los Angeles, on Pacific Super Cards on ESPN / TSN, May 25th

 

Steven Regal vs. Fit Finlay

 

Regal came out determined to break out of his recent slump and went all out against his old rival, Fit Finlay. This was an intensely hard hitting match with both men getting bloodied at different points and getting hit with jarring moves and wrenching submission holds. Regal was able to stagger Finlay with a running forearm smash before putting him away with the Regal Plex. An impressive win, but he still has to contend with Atlas at Seattle Showdown.

 

The Eagle vs. Mike Awesome

 

Despite the best efforts of the masked man, Awesome grounded the Eagle with the appropriately named Awesome Bomb.

 

Scott Hall vs. Masahiro Chono

 

Another high impact match with Hall getting the win with the Gator Breaker (Blockbuster Suplex)

 

Non-Title Match : The Rockers vs. The Midnight Express

 

In their second match of the weekend, these two teams continued with the spectacular but heated action, resulting in the referee declaring a no contest with all four men in the ring at once.

 

Pacific Tag Team Title Match : Stormfront (Al Snow & Alex Porteau) © vs. The Juice Crew (Beetlejuice & Big Juice)

 

The champs defended against the always unpredictable Juice Crew and ultimately prevailed by hitting the Storm Warning (modified double Flapjack that drives the opponent down onto his head) on Beetlejuice.

 

Ricky Steamboat, Bret Hart & Barry Windham vs. The Triangle Of Terror (Ted Dibiase, Terry Gordy & Steve Williams)

 

Windham may have been getting the cold shoulder from his former allies in the Brigade, but at least found partners for the night in two of the top wrestlers in PCW. Both Steamboat and Hart seemed wary of Windham throughout the match but still fought bravely at his side against the onslaught of the Triangle. They put in a courageous effort, but couldn't stop Dibiase cold cocking Windham from behind with the loaded black glove. Gordy followed up with a huge piledriver and , once again, the Triangle were triumphant.

Pacific Coast Wrestling Show from the UCSB Event Center, Santa Barbara, May 26th

 

Dustin Rhodes vs. Tracy Smothers

 

The hatred ran deep in this match, resulting in a heated match that went to Smothers with the Jawjacker off the top rope.

 

Phoenix Rising (Toshiaki Kawada & Kensuke Sasuke) vs. The Destruction Crew

 

Partway through the match, Bam Bam Bigelow came down to ringside and started jawing with DDP and the Crew. The Crew shouldn't have let themselves get distracted, as it left Enos open to a spinning back heel kick from Kawada that gave the win to the Japanese team.

 

Billy Gunn vs. Steve Armstrong

 

Gunn evened the score with the Southern Boys by pinning Armstrong following the Sidewinder (Spinning side suplex).

 

Jerry Lynn vs. Scotty The Body

 

Despite Scotty's posing and preening throughout the match, these two had a mostly technical bout that went to Scotty when he hit the Body Shot (DDT) on Lynn.

 

Pacific Television Title Match : Buddy Rose © vs. Steve Blackman

 

Rose seemed a bit caught off guard with the intensity of Blackman's challenge, but got right down to the business of holding off the Lethal Weapon. Blackman had Rose lined up for the Running Bicycle Kick, but the Playboy threw the referee into it's path. Blackman did his best to try to revive the ref, but this left an opening for Scotty The Body to sneak into the ring and once again hit the Body Shot (DDT). Rose went over for the cover, and the ref crawled over. Rose leapt up in triumph, but the ref then told him that he had been disqualified for manhandling an official. Rose was upset at the finish, but still held onto his title. That said, sooner or later, Blackman is going to be coming after him for a rematch.

 

Pacific Light Heavyweight Title Match : Eddie Guerrero © vs. Erin O'Grady

 

The night closed out with another great Light Heavyweight Title bout, with Eddie doing everything he could to hold off a spirited challenge from the Leprechaun, finally pulling it out with a Frog Splash.
