Pacific Northwest Championship Wrestling - Week One
Portland, Oregon

Match #1: Pacific Northwest Heavyweight Championship Tournament Match: Don Muraco defeated Jimmy Snuka at 10:05 with the Haiwaiian Hammer

- The very first match of PNWW kicked off with this legendary feud. Jimmy Snuka started off fast, hitting Muraco with chops that lit up his chest bright red. Snuka looked to have the match over when he hit the Superfly Splash perfectly (+5), but out of the blue, Bobby Heenan appeared, and distracted the referee! Muraco recovered, and blindsided Snuka from behind! Within a matter of moments, Muraco had dropped Snuka on his head with the Haiwaiian Hammer, covering his arch enemy for the three count to advance into the finals!

Match #2: Pacific Northwest Heavyweight Championship Tournament Match: Sting defeated Rick Rude at 7:50 with the Scorpion Death Lock

- These two hated enemies came at each other full blast, but it was Sting that proved to be the stronger of the two on this night. Sting made a show out of hitting Stinger Splash's one after the other. Bobby Heenan once again appeared at ringside, and tried to help Rude, but even their combined power couldn't stop the Stinger as he marched right through Rude with the Deathlock.

Match #3: Vader defeated Koko B. Ware at 2:14 with the Moonsault Press

- Before the match, Vader took the microphone, and screamed out why he should have been in the tournament for the title. Vader seemed content, however, to take his frustrations out on poor Koko, who bounced around the ring like a ping pong ball as Vader hit him. Vader finished the match with a Vaderbomb Powerbomb, and then hit the Moonsault to the amazement of the fans for the win.

Match #4: Dan Severn defeated The Sandman at 3:22 with the Wakigatame

- Before the bell rang, Severn tried to convince the referee to remove Sandman's cane from ringside. The referee, however, argued that Sandman just brought it down for show. Severn...wasn't amused, and took out his frustration on the hardcore icon. In what should have been a competitive match, it quickly became a one-sided squash, with Severn finishing it off with the Wakigatame.

Match #5: The Midnight Express defeated the New Impact Players at 15:43 when Eaton pinned Credible with a Flying Elbow

- Match of the night, as these two teams warred. At first, it looked like it would be an easy victory for the Midnight Express, but Corino and Credible refused to go down so easily, and nearly won the match countless times. In the end, it wasn't the Midnight's abilities that won the match, but their trickery proved to be the deciding factor. Cornette smashed Credible in the back of the head with the tennis racket, setting him up perfectly for the Bobby Eaton flying elbow for the victory.

Match #6: Konnan defeated Hacksaw Jim Duggan at 7:40 by DQ

- Konnan opened up the match by taking the microphone, and proceeded to berate both Duggan, and the fans in attendance in spanish, which only helped Duggan start a USA chant even more. A somewhat boring match, neither man was able to get anything really going. In the end, the fight spilled outside, and Duggan grabbed his 2x4! He chased off both Konnan and the referee, presumably getting himself DQ'd in the process.

Match #7: Pacific Northwest Heavyweight Championship Tournament Finals: Don Muraco defeated Sting at 6:17 with the Hawaiian Hammer

- Sting never seemed to get off the starting blocks, as rumors began to spread of foul play! However, Sting began to fight back and looked to have the match in hand, when once again Bobby Heenan reared his face into the match distracting Sting. Just like in his previous match, the distraction was all Muraco needed, and quickly finished off Sting with the Hawaiiwan Hammer to win the PNW Heavyweight Championship!

As a kid when I lived in Seattle, I remember my aunt driving me down I-5 to see wrestling in Portland. I also remember some of the stories she told me about the wrestlers she saw in Don Owens's Pacific Northwest Wrestling- although most of them were in the territory before I was really old enough to understand wrestling.

Based on the stories she told me, I think it is great that you have Jimmy Snuka in this fed. What is your current roster? It would be interesting to see Playboy Buddy Rose in your fed and (I think, if I am remembering correctly) Don Leo Jonathan spent time there as well. Roddy Piper, Billy Jack Haynes, and Rick Martel were also major stars in Pacific Northwest Wrestling.

I'm running my fed with guys from the 80's, 90's and 2000's...So a few people are out from LOW, but I like how it's going so far...

Pacific Northwest Wrestling - Week two
Seattle, WA

Match #1: Vader defeated Danny Doring with the Moonsault at 3:21

- Once again, before the match began Vader took the microphone, and called everyone out that he could think of. Vader seemed to humor Doring, before finally deciding he had enough and completely killed Doring dead, finishing him off with the Moonsault.

Match #2: Jerry Lynn defeated Ted Dibiase with the Cradle Piledriver at 4:08

- A surprisingly short match, as Dibiase seemed completely unable to keep up with Lynn's breakneck pace. Dibiase didn't get off the ground in the least, and was quickly finished off with Lynn's Cradle Piledriver

Match #3: Konnan defeated Hacksaw Jim Duggan with the 187 at 7:02

- In a rematch from last week, Konnan and Hacksaw clashed. Once again, Konnan berated everyone on the microphone, only to be chased out of the ring by Hacksaw's 2x4! The match itself was back and forth, with neither man being able to keep the advantage for long. The end saw Konnan take the fight outside, and ram Hacksaw into the ringpost. He followed that up with his 187 Cradle DDT, covering for the tainted win!

Match #4: The Iron Sheik & Nikolai Volkoff defeated The Steiner Brothers by DQ at 8:33

- A back and forth matchup, that saw the Steiners on the defensove most of the fight. The Iron Sheik & Volkoff seemed to be determined to put themselves in the running for the PNW tag championships. Frustrated, Rick Steiner finally grabbed a chair and waffled both of them over the head for the DQ!

Match #5: Larry Zbyszko defeated Jimmy Snuka at 9:12 with the Piledriver

- Larry took the microphone before the bell rang, and gave a lengthy...pretty boring, speach about how he was going to send Snuka to Larryland. And that is what Larry did. Snuka tried to put up a fight, but Larry had none of it, and the one two combination of Larryland Sleeper, and the Piledriver put Snuka out to nap.

Match #7: Greg Valentine defeated Diamond Dallas Page at 6:41 with the Figure-Four Leglock

- Greg Valentine, the hometown hero got a rousing ovation from the fans. Diamond Dallas, frustrated by the fan's reaction attacked Valentine from behind, and used every evil move he could think of. It couldn't stop Valentine in his hometown, and eventually he caught Page with the Figure Four, submitting Page for the victory!

After the match, Bobby Heenan appeared again, and this time Muraco and Rude were with him! They distracted Valentine, which allowed Page to ambush him from behind! The three wrestlers began to stomp away at Valentine, when Sting ran down to save Valentine to a heros reaction! Sting fought off the three men, when he was clubbed from behind by Big Van Vader! Vader destroyed Sting with the Vaderbomb Powerbomb and stood over Sting victorious with Rude, Page & Muraco!
