kevinmcfl Posted January 20 Report Share Posted January 20 Awesome job getting all your new talent sorted out. I really liked the Piper interview. He could really throw a wrench into so much of what is going on in PCW. Also, thought the first match of Coast to Coast was great. They are another one of those newcomers that is going to cause chaos. Great start to the 90's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spaldoni Posted January 25 Report Share Posted January 25 Slaughter and the FOJ are ready to go to war with Camp Cornette Dibiase's influence has moved the OWC up a level Hahahaha Piper mentioning When Hell comes to Frogtown was priceless. Thank goodness he did They Live. He did give the Brigade good advice. Bigelow is climbing the ranks fast The youth of the Hexagon is giving the fans some visually stunning moves. Regal's been one of the best homegrown stars of PCW LA DDP is going to send in some heavy hitters but I'm sure Austin's ready to knock them down, one by one. Say what you want, but Dibiase always comes out on top I think DDP might have to send Awesome after Austin One of my favorite things to write about Busick was his spinebuster slam. Could Williams be the next challenger for Steamboat? Steamboat retains but Scotty gave him a run Santa Barbara Thrillseekers get back on track Condrey's been on such a roll that Gunn should be proud of going the distance Piper's going to make Rose snap Heartbreakers and Money Train are tearing the houses down I'm sure things are going to get a lot crazier between Sabu and Snow YES! Coast to Coast is back in PCW!! Great way to come back by going all the way in a thriller with the Dreamboats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rainmakerrtv Posted January 26 Author Report Share Posted January 26 Pacific Wrestling Showcase from the Victoria Memorial Arena, Victoria, on ESPN / TSN, January 31st The Thrillseekers vs. The Suicide Blondes (Chris Candido & Louie Spicolli) For the past few weeks, the Thrillseekers have been thrilling the TV fans facing rookie teams, but this would be their first TV match against more experienced opposition. Considerable opposition indeed, as they would be facing two of the newest members of the Playboy Club, and the Blondes were full of dirty tricks that they unleashed against Jericho and Storm. The Thrillseekers were able to outlast Spicolli and Candido, taking down Candido with a double thrust kick for the win. Coast 2 Coast (John Tatum & Jack Victory) vs. Rory Freeman & Jonathan Libby After their shocking return at a house show last weekend, Tatum and Victory are clearly out to maintain the same winning standards they had maintained in their first run in PCW. The former Pacific Tag Team champs eagerly dismantled their opposition, putting down Libby with the Coastal Crunch (bridging back suplex by Victory into a bionic elbow by Tatum). Clearly, they are ravenous to hold gold again. David Cash vs. Sabu It didn't take long after the return of Sabu for him to gain a reputation as the Most Dangerous Man In Wrestling, and it wouldn't be hard to imagine wrestlers quaking in their boots at the thought of facing him. Young David Cash went against that and was quite eager to put his name on the bottom line of a contract, eager to prove himself by facing some top opposition. The Money Train member certainly gave in a sterling effort, refusing to back down and landing some exciting moves against the Bombay Madman. The ferocity of Sabu proved to much to overcome, however, and Sabu got the win after a slingshot somersault legdrop. Despite the loss, Cash was still able to shine in the eyes of the fans. Pierre Carl Ouellette vs. Terry Gordy Gordy finished off 1989 challenging for the Pacific Heavyweight Title, and while he was not able to regain the title he once held in such a dominant fashion, he is still one of the most feared wrestlers in PCW. Pierre Carl Ouellette didn't seem to have gotten that memo, as he took the fight right to the Terror Collective member, even giving him a bloody nose with a hard right cross. This caused Gordy to see red, both literally and figuratively, and he absolutely unloaded on PCO before finishing him off with a piledriver. Gordy's anger was still not abated, and he continued to put the boots to Ouellette until Bret Hart ran out with a chair. Hart managed to catch Gordy with a chair shot across the shoulders before Gordy bailed from the ring, but the former Freebird was clearly fuming as he went back to the locker room. Ouellette refused Harts assistance in getting up, but instead reached out to the ropes and got back to his feet by his own strength. This earned the Fighting French Canadian a high five from Hart and a big cheer from the fans. Jason Jett & Chris Hamrick vs. Big Vito Lograsso & Billy Black Ever since their arrival in Pacific Coast Wrestling, the paths of the Money Train and the Hollywood Heartbreakers have been intertwined. The two groups of young newcomers have had a series of exciting, fast paced matches. The bout went to the Money Train, with Hamrick catching Black in a Frankenhamrick for the victory, but you know this will just drive Jim Cornette's men to go after the Money Train even harder. Pacific Television Title Match : Shinya Hashimoto © vs. The Lightning Kid With all of the new factions and wrestlers showing up on the West Coast, possibly the one that has turned the most heads has been the Hexagon. With their feud with the Citadel and bold in ring style, the Sinister Minister's men have lit up arenas up and down the coast. The Lighting Kid engaged in a brutal showdown of kicks with the TV champ, and while the experience of Hashimoto was too much for the Kid to overcome, the Minnesota native got plenty of his own shots in before going down to the Leaping Spike DDT. A great showing for the Kid, with no doubt many more to come. Bret Hart vs. David Young While he is the youngest member of the Terror Collective, David Young has shown an eagerness to throw himself right into the fray, taking point in many of the Collective's battles. Tonight, he went toe to toe with the beloved Canadian star Bret Hart, and neither men held anything back. Unfortunately, as the match really started to get rolling, Terry Gordy rushed out to the ring and attacked Hart. Gordy was no doubt still stewing over Hart's intervention in his post match beatdown of Pierre Carl Ouellete, and Young joined him in his assault on the Hitman as the ref called for the DQ. Oullette and Shinya Hashimoto charged in to the defense of Hart, and Gordy and Young beat a hasty retreat, but something tells me that this is far from over.

rainmakerrtv Posted January 26 Author Report Share Posted January 26 Pacific Coast Wrestling show from the Pacific Coliseum, Vancouver on Pacific Super Cards on ESPN / TSN , February 1st Jerry Lynn vs. Rob Zakowski These two young stars in the making had a short but exciting match, with Zakowski coming out on top with the Split Legged Moonsault. Barry Windham vs. Brian Lee These two former teammates had a furious battle that went to a DQ win for Windham after Lee hit the Prime Time Slam on the ref when he tried to get between the two. Sgt. Slaughter & The Force Of July (The Patriot & The Eagle) vs. Dennis Condrey & The Midnight Express The war between these two sides raged on as the Eagle hit the Screaming Eagle (top rope missile dropkick) on Lane to give the result to Sarge and the FoJ. Shane Douglas vs. Steve Williams Williams crushed Douglas in dominant fashion with the Oklahoma Stampede. Pacific Tag Team Title Match : Phoenix Rising (Toshiaki Kawada & Kensuke Sasaki) © vs. Harlem Heat DDP's new team got their first title shot and presented a tough challenge to the Japanese team, but Phoenix Rising gutted it out and came out on top after Kawada put down Booker T with a Brainbuster. Pacific Heavyweight Title Match : Ricky Steamboat © vs. Gary Albright The members of the Terror Collective have been lining up to take their shots at the champ, and Albright presented a fearsome threat to his title reign, hitting some absolutely jarring suplexes on the Dragon. Steamboat was able to outlast Albright and take the match to a 30 minute time limit draw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rainmakerrtv Posted January 26 Author Report Share Posted January 26 Pacific Coast Wrestling show from the Kelowna Memorial Arena, Kelowna, February 2nd David Cash vs. Jimmy Del Ray Another battle between the Money Train and the Hollywood Heartbreakers, this time in singles match. Cash still seemed a bit shaken up from his match with Sabu earlier in the weekend, and despite a game effort on his part, Del Ray came out on top with the Moonsault Body Press. Steve Austin & Pierre Carl Ouellette vs. Chris Adams & Mike Awesome Ouellette came out with a black eye and taped ribs from the assault from Terry Gordy, but that didn't stop him from going fist and fire with the Diamond Exchange. It took a huge Awesome Bomb from Awesome to finally put him down for good. Dan Severn, Steve Blackman & Al Snow vs. Dean Malenko, Eddie Guerrero & Art Barr The hatred between the Citadel and the Hexagon was palpable in this blistering match. Though the Hexgon got the duke after a Frog Splash from Barr on Snow, both sides kept going after the bell, having to have security come out to separate the two sides. Golden State Tag Team Title Match : The Dreamboats (Tommy Dreamer & Glamour Boy Shane) © vs. The Fighting Irish (Fit Finlay & Erin O'Grady) Another successful defense for the Dreamboats, with Dreamer hitting a DDT on Finlay for the win. California Title Match : Steven Regal © vs. David Young Young is proving himself to be an absolute workhorse, having his second match this weekend against a top level opponent. Regal prevailed, but Young really made him work for it, with the Regal-Plex proving to be the difference maker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Autistic Dragon Posted January 26 Report Share Posted January 26 Victoria. I don't imagine the Blondes were to Thrilled by that result. Coast 2 Coast send a strong message. Sabu cashes in. Gordy is a sore winner which earns him a chair shot from Hart. PCO refuses a hand up and earns Hart's respect. The rivalry between the Money Train and the Heartbreakers rages on. Hashimoto catches Lightning in a bottle. Gordy tries to pay Hart back allowing PCO to return the favor. Vancouver. Rob Z v Jerry Lynn. Those two could be in your main event one day. Next time the ref might wanna just let Windham & Lee fight. The Eagle catches some prey. There's no stopping Dr Death. Harmless Heat's first title shot comes up empty. The Animal holds his own with the Dragon. Kelowna. Big payday for the Gigolo. A bruised PCO wasn't in condition to handle the Diamond Exchange. The Hexagon strike a blow against the Citadel. And we close things with back to back defenses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LastStopTour Posted January 26 Report Share Posted January 26 I am going to make a negative comment and this is only my opinion. This is why I absolutely hate such large rosters - it often creates this kind of situation. Three weekly shows and while they are action packed, it seems like you are running three separate promotions because there is very little to no crossover for any of the posted shows. There is a lacking focus - no top guys who you should or at least might want to showcase on every show versus having a large roster and getting as many of them work. USWA on ESPN back in the 90's had programming every day but you always saw the top guys each and every show. That was who they were selling - those were the draws. Even if you rotate out the shows for each stop in three weeks time, there is no focus on the top guy or top program. Last year, I commented on your "top program" being your junior heavy division - you have/had a bevy of the top juniors at the time which would produce some of the best matches in the entire league but it lacked the focus on the champ and him being chased.

spaldoni Posted February 1 Report Share Posted February 1 The Thrillseekers pick up a win over stiffer competition Coast to Coast is picking up right where they left off. I love these guys LOL Oh yea! A Hart /Gordy feud, bring it on!! The Money Train and Heartbreakers are really set on determining who the new sensations are Hashimoto is taking on all comers and still remains TV champ More Gordy and Hart, that's what I'm talking about Vancouver, Young Robbie V picks up the V Windham and Lee will be another hard hitting big man feud. Especially with the history here Sarge and the FOJ win the first 6 man battle with Camp Cornette. I know this match tore the house down Dr. D is ready to take his shot Give Harlem Heat a little more seasoning and they'll be holding gold one day Steamboat has had one of the toughest title reigns in the game. Kelowna, Del Ray chalks one up for the Heartbreakers From the terror to the diamond exchange, PCO might have too much on his plate Hexagon gets the win but the fight continues Dreamboats keep their dream reign going Regal gets the main event slot and delivers. The annual Aloha Spectacular has arrived! Damn that card is stacked! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rainmakerrtv Posted February 2 Author Report Share Posted February 2 Pacific Wrestling Showcase from the Portland Sports Arena, Portland , on ESPN / TSN, February 7th Barry Windham & The Thrillseekers vs. Brian Lee & The Suicide Blondes (Chris Candido & Louie Spicolli) Barry Windham may not have had much luck so far in recruiting new members of the Brigade, but he has slowly but surely rebuilt his reputation with several wins over top level opponents. After a double DQ finish with Brian Lee last week, Windham was determined to immediately give it another shot. For this match, he would be teaming with the upcoming duo of the Thrillseekers, and despite their inexperience, the gelled quite well with the Sweetwater native. They assisted Windham on a slingshot lariat that flattened Candido and gave them the win over the Playboy Club. A major victory that shows that Windham is back on the right track. Jason Jett vs. Dennis Condrey Jim Cornette has gotten his enforcer, Dennis Condrey, a string of shots at various titles, and Condrey has in turned managed a series of hard fought time limit draws. While that is impressive, you know that neither Cornette nor Condrey will be satisfied until there is gold around his waist. He seemed to be making a show of force with young Jason Jett of the Money Train, and while Jett certainly put up a fight, Condry wound up putting him down with authority, hitting the Full Nelson Facebuster to claim the victory. Nicely done, but it remains to be seen if he can seal the deal in a title match. Steve Blackman vs. Big Vito Lograsso Cornette's contract signing efforts don't end with the senior members of his team, as he continues to find high level opponents for his newest acquisitions, the Hollywood Heartbreakers. This time would be a singles match for "The Italian Stallion" Big Vito Lograsso, facing off with "The Lethal Weapon" Steve Blackman. A tall order, given that the members of the Citadel have been newly energized by their feud with the Hexagon, but Lograsso was going to give it a go. Vito gave a good accounting of himself, landing some big haymakers on Blackman while Steve fought back with blistering kicks. Lograsso even managed to get Blackman down on the mat and started raining down punches, only for Blackman to turn it around by twisting his arm and trapping him in a Cross Armbreaker. Despite his best efforts, Lograsso could not escape and was forced to tap out. Nonetheless, a good showing for the rookie. Iron & Steel (Tony Atlas & Larry Cameron) vs. Brook Geraghty & John Palyok There have been many up and coming teams that have been fighting to make their mark in PCW, but Iron & Steel have been in another league entirely. Ever since their return to the west coast, Atlas and Cameron have been tearing through the opposition, as Geraghty and Palyok discovered to their dismay. Iron & Steel battered and bludgeoned the rookies before Cameron polished off Palyok with the Harlem Hammer (running double axe handle to the back of the head) . Iron & Steel won't be satisfied until they sink their teeth into some top level competition. Shane Douglas & Big Bully Busick vs. Dean Malenko & Eddie Guerrero As mentioned before, the Citadel have been feuding with the Hexagon, and thus far, the Hexagon have generally had the upper hand. Two of the newest members of the Citadel, Douglas and Busick, were still going to give it their best go against two of the most experienced members of the Hexagon. Guerrero and Malenko certainly went all out with a well coordinated attack on the Citadel members. But it didn't take long for Douglas and Busick to find their rhythm, with the Big Bully in particular rocking the Hexagon with big power moves. The Hexagon didn't seem prepared for that, and the Man From Powerhouse Hill crushed Malenko with a Spinebuster Slam as Douglas held off Guerrero, giving the Citadel a major victory. Busick is proving to be possibly the biggest gun in the Citadel's arsenal. Bam Bam Bigelow vs. Fit Finlay Bam Bam Bigelow's quest to establish himself as his own man in PCW continues with him taking on one of the toughest men in the territory. The Fighting Irishman really took it to the Best From The East , with both men sporting bloody noses by the end of the match. But the power and athleticism of Bigelow were enough to carry the tide of battle, and Bigelow scored the pinfall with the Slingshot Splash.

rainmakerrtv Posted February 2 Author Report Share Posted February 2 Pacific Coast Wrestling show from the Portland Memorial Coliseum , Portland , on Pacific Super Cards on ESPN / TSN, February 8th David Cash vs. Erin O'Grady Two of the young and rising stars of PCW had a fast paced, high flying match that went to David Cash with the Money Maker (double underhook piledriver) Billy Gunn vs. Scotty The Body Both men were very determined to get one up on the other, and Scotty used some underhanded tactics to gain the advantage. This advantage dissolved when Roddy Piper showed up at ringside and started taunting Tina Ferrari with a broom. This resulted in a shouting match between the two , which provided sufficient distraction that led to Scotty walking right into a Sidewinder (spinning side suplex). The ref made the three count, giving the bout to Gunn. Chris Hamrick vs. The Lightning Kid Another exciting and close match between two rookies, with Lighning Kid coming out on top with the Lightning Strike (Tombstone piledriver). Bret Hart, Shinya Hashimoto & Phoenix Rising (Toshiaki Kawada & Kensuke Sasaki) vs. The Miracle Violence Combination & The Oregon Wrecking Crew (Gary Albright & David Young) The Hitman, along with his Japanese friends, went to war with the Terror Collective, and this was a titanic battle indeed. There were some ferocious exchanges between Bret and Gordy, but the decision went to Steve Williams when he flattened Sasaki with the Doctor Bomb. Golden State Tag Team Title Match : The Dreamboats (Tommy Dreamer & Glamour Boy Shane) © vs. The Hollywood Heartbreakers (Jimmy Del Ray & Billy Black) The Hollywood Heartbreakers were set on making the most of their first tag title shot, and provided a fierce challenge to the Dreamboats before Shane hit the Casting Call (Rocker Dropper) on Black to successfully defend the titles. Pacific Heavyweight Title Match : Ricky Steamboat © vs. Buddy Rose The Playboy played his traditionally wily game to try to regain the title he held multiple times, until, right on schedule, Roddy Piper started sneaking down to ringside. Whatever the Hot Scot had in mind, it was interrupted when he was attacked from behind by the suddenly appearing Art Barr. The two started brawling, and this time, it was Rose who took advantage of the distraction by rolling up Steamboat and using a fistful of trunks as leverage. He nearly stole the title, but Steamboat kicked out just before the ref's hand hit the mat for the third time. Later in the match, however, the action spilled outside the ring. Steamboat had just nearly made it back into the ring by the 10 count, but Rose gabbed his legs, delaying him just enough to cause a double countout result.

rainmakerrtv Posted February 2 Author Report Share Posted February 2 Pacific Coast Wrestling show from McArthur Court, Eugene, February 9th Steve Austin & Pierre Carl Ouellet vs. Harlem Heat Austin and Ouellet held their own against DDP's new duo until Chris Adams took advantage of a ref distraction and snuck in the ring , hitting the Superkick on Austin. Booker T covered the felled Stunning Steve and stole the victory for the Diamond Exchange. Stormfront (Al Snow & Jerry Lynn) vs. The Can-Am Express The new iteration of Stormfront pulled off a huge victory when Lynn pinned Lafon following a Cradle Piledriver. Sgt. Slaughter & The Force Of July vs. Dennis Condrey & The Midnight Express This war was a lot for the ref to manage, and Cornette's men eagerly took advantage of this. When the Patriot started heading up to hit the Patriot Missile , Lane clobbered him from behind with Cornette's loaded racquet. Condrey then hit the Full Nelson Facebuster to give the duke to the Midnights. Dan Severn vs. Chris Adams Adams' background in judo and amateur wrestling stood him well against the leader of the Citadel, but it ultimately proved irrelevant when Steve Austin rushed into the ring and attacked him. The ref had no choice but to declare the match a DQ win for Adams. Pacific Light Heavyweight Title Match : Dragon Azul © vs. Art Barr Emboldened by his attack on Roddy Piper the night before, Barr went all out against Dragon, who was forced to fight a defensive battle. The champ was able to hold off Barr long enough to go to a 20 minute time limit draw, but you can be certain that the Hexagon member will be wanting another crack at it. California Title Match : Steven Regal © vs. Rob Zakowski The match closed off with another title match as the English Lion defended against another member of the Hexagon. Regal hasn't ducked anyone in his time as California Champion, and seemed eager to take on this ferocious young contender. Zakowski did managed to execute some spectacular moves on the champ, but Regal held steady, flattening him with a spinning forearm smash before pinning him with the Regal-Plex.

spaldoni Posted February 8 Report Share Posted February 8 Watch out PCW, Windham's coming back in a big way Condrey and Cornette want some gold. I can't say it enough, I love how Condrey's been booked here. You have to be always on guard against Blackman. My guys, Iron and Steel are as bad as ever Spinebuster Slam, enough said! Bigelow gets past a rough test with Finlay. Portland Cash's star is on the rise Piper's having a blast at the Playboy Club's expense Lightning Kid brings even more excitement to the LHW division. Damn, what an 8 man tag! Williams is on a rampage Piper equals chaos but this might give Rose another title shot Eugene Thanks to Adams, Harlem Heat gets the big upset Can Ams fall to the hungry Stormfront Camp Cornette wins this battle but the war rages on Austin gets in some payback. Bring on Austin vs Adams! Barr takes Azul to the limit. Give the man a rematch Regal's making the most if his main event slots Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rainmakerrtv Posted February 9 Author Report Share Posted February 9 Pacific Wrestling Showcase from the Oakland Alameda County Arena, Oakland, on ESPN / TSN, February 14th Stormfront (Al Snow & Jerry Lynn) vs. Big Vito Lograsso & Billy Black The new version of Stormfront had a bit of a bumpy ride at first, but are truly starting to gel as a team. The Hollywood Heartbreakers duo of Lograsso and Black were aggressive, as one would expect of wrestlers managed by Jim Cornette. But Stormfront came back hard with some double team moves, finally putting down Black with the Storm Warning (modified double Flapjack that drives the opponent down onto his head). Stormfront are coming back hard, and the Hexagon had best watch out. Sgt. Slaughter vs. Brady Finta The arrival of Sgt. Slaughter was one of the biggest shocks of the New Years Day Celebration. Thus far, he has mostly been a leader and partner for the Force Of July. The hard nosed DI proved to be just as credible as a singles competitor, easily dispatching Finta by forcing him to tap out to the Cobra Clutch. Jim Cornette is going to need to pull out every trick in the book to counteract the patriotic veteran. Big Bully Busick & Shane Douglas vs. The Lightning Kid & Rob Zakowski Last week, the Citadel struck a major blow in their war with the Hexagon as Busick and Douglas defeated Dean Malenko and Eddie Guerrero. The Sinister Minister was eager for vengeance, immediately sending out the rookie duo of Lightning and Zakowski. They were relentless, focusing their attack on Busick, but that just meant that Douglas was always free to back up his friend. The Hexagon were so focused it led them into disaster, as Lightning ran right into the Bully Breaker (hangman neckbreaker) and a pinfall. The Man From Powerhouse Hill is proving to be the difference maker in the Citadel turning the tide against the Hexagon. Steve Austin & Pierre Carl Ouellet vs. Harlem Heat These two sides clashed last week in Eugene, with Harlem Heat stealing the win after a sneak attack by Chris Adams. The Diamond Exchange tried the same tactic again, but Austin and PCO were anticipating that. Adams was intercepted by PCO hitting a somersault dive off the ring apron, which caught Harlem Heat off guard enough for a Stun Gun from Austin to get the pinfall on Stevie Ray. Austin and Ouellet are catching on to the Diamond Exchange's tricks, but that doesn't change the fact that they are outnumbered. Steve Williams vs. Glamour Boy Shane Doctor Death has been on an absolute rampage through PCW, but Glamour Boy Shane bravely stepped into the line of fire. He did his best to hold off Williams assault, but things took a seedier turn when John Tatum and Jack Victory showed up at ringside and started hassling Trisa Hayes. Hayes wanted nothing to do with them, but Tatum's harassment grew so unbearable that she slapped his face. This enraged Tatum, who grabbed her hand and started screaming in her face. Tommy Dreamer rushed out to come to her defense , but he was facing Coast 2 Coast two on one. This led to a lapse in concentration by Shane , resulting in Williams flattening him with a clothesline and crushing him with a scoop powerslam for the win. Tatum and Victory continued their beatdown on Dreamer until PCW security came out and caused them to flee back to the locker room. Coast 2 Coast may be back, but they certainly aren't making any friends. The Money Train (Jason Jett, Chris Hamrick & David Cash) vs. Dennis Condrey & The Midnight Express Since their arrival in PCW, the Money Train's path has been entwined with that of the Hollywood Heartbreakers, but tonight, they would face Jim Cornette's senior squad. The Money Train were able to land some impressive moves on the Midnights, but when Cornette's men kicked into gear, they kept the match firmly in hand. Hamrick did try to take out Lane with a Frankenhamrick, but he was too close to the ropes, and Eaton grabbed him by the hair from the ring apron and dropped him down throat first on the top rope. He then went up top and hit a diving kneedrop on Hamrick for the win. Just goes to show that you can never take the Midnight Express for granted.

rainmakerrtv Posted February 9 Author Report Share Posted February 9 Pacific Coast Wrestling show from the Cow Palace , San Francisco, on Pacific Super Cards on ESPN / TSN, February 15th Barry Windham & The Thrillseekers vs. Brian Lee & The Suicide Blondes (Chris Candido & Louie Spicolli) Last week, Windham was able to work with the Thrillseekers to get over the contingent from the Playboy Club. They continued to work well together in this match, but a mistimed move by Jericho left him vulnerable to the Prime Time Slam from Brian Lee, giving the pinfall to the Bulldozer. Even then, Lee and the Blondes tried to get in more shots on Jericho and Storm after the match, but with Windham standing in front of them like an angry bear, they thought better of it. Jason Jett & Chris Hamrick vs. Big Vito Lograsso & Billy Black Both sides were looking to come back after losses the night before, and neither was about to give an inch. The result was a fierce battle that went to a 15 minute time limit draw. Steve Austin, Pierre Carl Ouellet & Iron & Steel (Tony Atlas & Larry Cameron) vs. Chris Adams, Mike Awesome & Harlem Heat Austin and Ouellet knew they were going to need more help if they were going to have to keep on facing a full complement of the Diamond Exchange. The got impressive backup indeed in the form of Iron & Steel. Atlas and Cameron seemed particularly incensed at the new team of Harlem Heat encroaching in what they see as their territory, and the result was a crazy brawl with a piledriver from Atlas on Booker T getting the decision. Pacific Television Title Match : Shinya Hashimoto © vs. Jimmy Del Ray Jim Cornette is dead set on getting his men some gold, and is throwing the Gigolo into the fray against the TV champ. Del Ray certainly proved his worth by tricking Hash into a number of near falls, but the always tough Japanese star prevailed with a spin kick to the head. Pacific Tag Team Title Match : Phoenix Rising (Toshiaki Kawada & Kensuke Sasaki) © vs. Coast 2 Coast (John Tatum & Jack Victory) Coast 2 Coast were going all out to regain the titles that they once held, but their previous actions came to haunt them as Tommy Dreamer and Glamour Boy Shane, still battered from their attack the night before, rushed out to attack them. This led to a DQ finish, and the only way the brawl between the two teams got cooled down was from an appearance by Commissioner Dutch Savage. Savage told them that they could save their aggression for the ring, as he was signing a Golden State Tag Team Title Match between the two teams for Aloha Spectacular. He added that, if the two teams didn't stay out of each other's way until then, both teams would find themselves on the unemployment line. Pacific Heavyweight Title Match : Ricky Steamboat © vs. Buddy Rose Rose earned himself a second chance to regain the Pacific Heavyweight Title, and he certainly seemed to want to make the most of it. He went all out against the Dragon, and at points seemed terrifyingly close to wearing gold once more. It all came crashing down when he went for a running elbow smash in the corner, only for Steamboat to dodge out of the way at the last second. Steamboat then caught Rose in a double leg cradle to remain champion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rainmakerrtv Posted February 9 Author Report Share Posted February 9 Pacific Coast Wrestling show from the Selland Arena, Fresno, February 16th Tommy Dreamer vs. Scotty The Body These two young rivals clashed again, with Scotty pinning Tommy following the Body Shot (DDT). Bret Hart & Bam Bam Bigelow vs. Terry Gordy & Ted Dibiase Bret was so focused on defeating Gordy that he didn't spot Dibiase sneaking up behind him. The Man Of Means jacked Hart in the back of the head with his loaded black glove, allowing Gordy to pin the Hitman following a big elbow drop. Pacific Light Heavyweight Title Match : Dragon Azul © vs. David Cash Dragon continued to take on all challengers, facing "Cash Flow" David Cash in an incredibly exciting bout. The two had a fast paced match before the champ got the win with a flying Victory Roll. Sgt. Slaughter & The Force Of July (The Patriot & The Eagle) vs. Dennis Condrey & The Midnight Express Another heated bout between the two groups, with Sarge pinning Eaton following the Slaughter Cannon. Pacific Submission Title Match : Dean Malenko © vs. Steve Blackman Blackman was perhaps his most fierce that he has been in a long time, and Malenko showed what could pass for concern on his face. The two wound up going to a 20 minute draw, allowing Malenko to keep his grip on his title. California Title Match : Steven Regal © vs. Eddie Guerrero The night closed out with an incredible California Title match. Guerrero seemed to have it all wrapped up when he went up top for the Frog Splash. Regal got his knees up in time, and once the agonized Guerrero was back on his feet, Regal executed a Floating Butterfly Suplex for a remarkable victory.

Autistic Dragon Posted February 9 Report Share Posted February 9 Oakland. The Storm broke the Heartthrobs. Solid showing by Sarge. Busick is proving to be the bane of the Hexagon. Austin & PCO even the score. Tatum creeps on Hayes while Shane falls to Williams. Cornette's heavy hitters show the MT who they're dealing with. San Francisco. Windham has gotten protective of the Thrillseekers. The latest battle between the MT and the HH ends in a draw. Austin & PCO bring in the big guns to deal with the Diamond Exchange. No payday for the Gigolo tonight. Savage has to draw a firm line between the Dreamboats & Coast 2 Coast. Steamboat manages to fend off Rose this time. Scotty sends Tommy to dream street. Hart's tunnel vision costs him. Azul stems the Cash Flo. Sarge leads his troops to victory. Iceman gets saved by the bell. Eddie comes close but Regal just manages to hold on.

rainmakerrtv Posted February 16 Author Report Share Posted February 16 Pacific Wrestling Showcase from the Olympic Auditorium , Los Angeles , on ESPN / TSN, February 21st Coast 2 Coast (John Tatum & Jack Victory) vs. Willard Smith & James Miller It has not been long since Coast 2 Coast returned to PCW, but they wasted no time in rocketing up the rankings, earning a shot at the Golden State Tag Titles. Barred from interacting with the Dreamboats until Aloha Spectacular or risk losing their jobs, Tatum and Victory took out their anger on the two rookies. They gave a serious drubbing to the opposition until putting an end to things with the Coastal Crunch (high angle belly to back suplex by Victory into a Bionic Elbow Drop by Tatum) on Freeman. With all of the big matches coming to Aloha Spectacular, the Golden State Tag Title match is becoming the most anticipated. Iron & Steel (Tony Atlas & Larry Cameron) vs. The Blood Syndicate (Genichiro Tenryu & Masahiro Chono) Iron & Steel have blazed a trail on the West Coast, becoming one of the most feared and, oddly, one of the most popular teams in PCW. They were facing perhaps their sternest test in the Japanese legend Tenryu and his fierce protégé Chono. This was an incredibly close match, with both teams giving it their all, but Cameron was able to land the Harlem Hammer (running double axe handle to the back of the head) on Chono and get the win. It won't be too long before Iron & Steel get in the championship picture. Interview : Don Coss stands in the ring (Steve Austin) Coss : Ladies and gentlemen, my next guest has been tearing up the ring with his feud with the Diamond Exchange … "Stunning" Steve Austin! The fans explode in cheers as Austin stalks out to the ring, ignoring them all the way. Interestingly, he is accompanied by Pierre Carl Ouellette, who is just as focused. Coss : Steve, I admit to being a bit surprised. Just a few weeks ago, you were declining an invitation to join the Brigade, saying you were your own man. But you've been teaming a lot with Pierre Carl Ouellette lately, and here he is at your side for this interview. What gives? Austin : That's why I asked for this interview, Coss. I've been hearing similar rumblings in the locker room, asking why. Well, I don't feel I owe anyone an explanation, but I will tell why just to get some peace and quiet. The Brigade are good guys, and their invitation was flattering, sure. But I am not a joiner anymore, don't think I ever really was. I am going to walk my own path. But the hard fact is that, just because I am walking my own path doesn't mean I am always going to do it alone, especially with the Diamond Exchange holding a four to one advantage over me … four and a half if you count Page. I'm independent, but I'm not an idiot. PCO here is a good buddy, always a fun time to go out for beer, nachos, ribs and hellraising. He hates the Diamond Exchange as much as I do, so it’s the smart thing to watch each other's backs when our interests coincide. But at the end of the day, he goes about his business and I go about mine. The same goes for Regal, Iron & Steel, or anyone else who teams up with us. I just need them there until the end of the match. PCO : Steve is right. I give him respect, and he gives it back to me. As long as that gives me a shot at Chris Adams and Diamond Dallas Page, that's plenty enough for me. Steve Williams vs. Jeff Wilson With his shot at Ricky Steamboat's Pacific Heavyweight Title coming up next week, Doctor Death looked to be trying to put a scare into the Dragon. He folded, spindled and mutilated poor Wilson with crushing power moves, even power slamming him into the corner before finally putting him away with the Oklahoma Stampede. If Steamboat wasn't concerned about Williams coming for his title before, he certainly should be now. Four Corner Elimination Match for the Pacific Trios Titles : Stormfront (Al Snow & Jerry Lynn) & Steve Blackman vs. Dean Malenko, Eddie Guerrero & Art Barr vs. The Money Train (Jason Jett, Chris Hamrick & David Cash) vs. The Hollywood Heartbreakers (Jimmy Del Ray, Big Vito Lograsso & Billy Black) Years ago, Pacific Coast Wrestling added the Pacific Light Heavyweight Title to its list of titles. Since then, there have been plentiful sensational Light Heavyweight Title bouts, many of them headlining shows and always leaving the fans thrilled. Similarly, with an increase of submission specialists to the roster, the addition of the Pacific Submission Title has also resulted in some truly gripping matches. With this in mind, and the influx of three man factions and intense action in their matches, PCW has added the Pacific Trios Titles and signed this Four Corner Elimination Match to declare the inaugural champs. Living up to the high expectations , this match was an absolute thrill ride, with all four sides breaking out their big moves. After a long series of exchanges and rapid fire tags, the Citadel drew first blood, with Blackman knocking out Malenko coming off the ropes with the Running Bicycle Kick. After more breathtaking action, Billy Black landed a running Bombs Away kneedrop on Snow , bringing it down to two teams left. It was now down to the Money Train and the Hollywood Heartbreakers, who had been having incredible matches with each other since their arrival in PCW. They put on another sensational bout until David Cash was finally able to put down Jimmy Del Ray with the Money Maker (double underhook piledriver) to get the final fall. The Money Train were now the Pacific Trios Champs and we can be certainly they will bring honor and glory to the new titles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rainmakerrtv Posted February 16 Author Report Share Posted February 16 Pacific Coast Wrestling show from the LA Sports Arena, Los Angeles, on Pacific Super Cards on ESPN / TSN, February 22nd Barry Windham & The Thrillseekers vs. Brian Lee & The Suicide Blondes (Chris Candido & Louie Spicolli) Windham and the Thrillseekers continued to work well together , with Storm tripping Spicolli to set him up for a Western Lariat from Windham for the victory. Kensuke Saski vs. Scotty The Body Scotty once again drew on the distraction and interference and guile of Tina Ferrari to leave Sasaki vulnerable to the Body Shot (DDT). Bam Bam Bigelow vs. Genichiro Tenryu The fast rising New Jersey Fireball took on the Japanese legend, resulting in a romping stomping match with both men slugging it out on the outside and a double countout finish. California Title Match : Seven Regal © vs. Fit Finlay Just one week away from his defense against Dennis Condrey, Regal was able to withstand the offense of the Belfast Bruiser and put him down with the Regal Plex. Golden State Tag Team Title Match : The Dreamboats (Tommy Dreamer & Glamour Boy Shane) © vs. The Lightning Kid & Rob Zakowski A high speed title match came to a confusing end when the Lightning Kid went for a somersault plancha over the ropes to Shane on the outside, only to miss and crash land on the concrete, knocking himself out. A confused Zakowski was then easy prey for the Tomikaze by Dreamer, leading to a successful defense by the Dreamboats. Zakowski and the Sinister Minister wound up helping Lightning to the back. Pacific Heavyweight Title : Ricky Steamboat © vs. Gary Albright These two went to a time limit draw a few weeks ago in Vancouver. This time out, Albright was clearly going for the kill. The OWC member was ruthless, with brutal suplexes and attempted submissions. Steamboat played a waiting game, letting Albright wear himself out before launching his own attacks, focusing on Albright's knee. This left him vulnerable for a Diving Cross Body Press and score a hard fought pinfall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rainmakerrtv Posted February 16 Author Report Share Posted February 16 Pacific Coast Wrestling Show from the UCSB Event Center, Santa Barbara, February 23rd Bret Hart vs. David Young After their match a few weeks ago was interrupted by interference from Terry Gordy, these two got another shot at each other in a singles bout. Young did incredibly well for himself against the Hitman until he was finally forced to submit to the Sharpshooter. Hart was looking at Young with a new respect and even shook his hand after the match. Toshiaki Kawada vs. Chris Adams A duel of high impact kicks went to Adams knocking out Kawada with a Superkick to the jaw. Al Snow vs. Terry Gordy Snow did all he could, but the former Freebird squashed him with a Power Bomb. Sgt. Slaughter vs. Big Vito Lograsso Sarge took on another of Jim Cornette's men, and while Big Vito hit hard and didn't go down easily, he did jo down to a brutal Slaughter Cannon. Pacific Submission Title Match : Dean Malenko © vs. Masahiro Chono The Iceman and the Steel Machine went to a 20 minute time limit draw. Pacific Light Heavyweight Title Match : Dragon Azul © vs. Jerry Lynn The night closed with another great Light Heavyweight Title bout, with Dragon holding off Lynn with a Dragon Suplex.
