PACIFIC NORTHWEST WRESTLING TV
APRIL 28, 1995
Taped April 21 from the Bagley Center, Vancouver, WA

PLAY BY PLAY: Dutch Savage
PNW Commissioner: Moondog Moretti
Referee: Mike Keiner and Jeff Jones

Dutch: “Welcome fans, and yes, don’t change your dial, PACIFIC NORTHWEST WRESTLING is alive and well! In this hour, the Pacific Northwest Tag team Champions BAD COMPANY will be in action . . . . Bruiser Brian Cox is back . . . and he will challenge the Pacific Northwest Champion CW BERGSTROM in the coming weeks. And yes fans, what would Pacific Northwest Wrestling be without . . . PLAYBOY BUDDY ROSE, the ROSE GARDEN is here, with the challengers to those tag team titles with their manager, TOP GUN, to be revealed later in this hour.

“All that and I promise you MORE big name surprises this week! The Executioner is in the ring, lets go to our first match of the hour.

The Executioner is in the ring when . . . . .

HERE COMES JESSE BARR!

JESSE BARR HAS RETURNED TO PACIFIC NORTHWEST WRESTLING!

JESSE BARR DEF. THE EXECUTIONER

After the win, Jesse goes to the Crow’s Nest (actually a theater stage above the audience) to be interviewed by Big Dutch. Dutch announces PNW REUNION ’95, at the Bagley Center, May 12 where Jesse will face . . .

KAMALA, THE UGANDAN GIANT!

Jesse: “Dutch Savage, the more things change, the more they stay the same! All these big time wrestling promotions with all their fancy fireworks, lights, gimmicks, TV networks, but one thing stays the same: PACIFIC NORTHWEST WRESTLING LIVES, and these great fans you see here today want one thing: good WRESTLING!

“Now, I have to be honest, Dutch I am a little wary of having to step into the ring with a madman like Kamala May 12 right here at the Bagley Center, he is a product of that 'big TV culture' but if that is what is going to help this promotion sell tickets, well, darn it, that’s where I’m gonna be, and if I have to beat Kamala to get a shot at the Pacific NORTHWEST TITLE, WELL THEN SO BE IT, I hope to see ALL the great Pacific Northwest fans right here at the Bagley Center MAY 1`2!

Dutch: “Fans, JESSE BARR figures to be a BIG part of the Pacific Northwest revival, we will be right back with more great Pacific Northwest action, don’t touch that dial!

A bedside alarm goes off and SCOTT PUTSKI, covered in blankets TURNS IT OFF! The alarm says 5:00.

In the next scene JOEY MAGGS is jogging when his BEEPER GOES OFF! He jogs to a payphone where a split screen reveals its Scott, downing some protein shake, calling him!

The next scene is of Scott and Joey meeting at a weight room, and then working out together. They take a break, drinking orange juice when a gym employee runs up to them, pointing frantically at the desk. They smile and follow him as the hot babes in the gym oooh and all at them. Joey picks up the phone, and seems very excited to hear the news, and tells Scott, and they HIGH FIVE!

The next scene is of Scott and Joey at the airport, checking in luggage and buying airline tickets. They check their bags, and as they are checked out by the counter girls, they walk past a airline update board that say:

DEPARTING TO PORTLAND, OR
1:15PM
ON TIME

Graphic at the bttom of the screen reads:

THE MAESTRO def. SURFER RAY ODYSSEY

Dutch, who announces he will wrestle JOHN RAMBO May 12, interviews the Maestro!

Maestro: “Rambo? RAMBO? Sir, I am a composer, an artist, of the highest renown, and you are going to ask me to get dirtied by a long haired cretin who machine guns hundreds of innocent people in a third rate American motion picture? I PROTEST! I am an ARTIST, A COMPOSER OF BEAUTIFUL SYMPHONIES, not some barbarian, sir!

Dutch: “Well . . ha ha . . . I think the Maestro has his facts a little confused, but yes, JOHN RAMBO will be here in the Pacific Northwest, as a matter of fact he is booked for next week! Tag team action when we return!

“On May 12 I have not been invited but Pacific Northwest Wrestling will return with REUNION ’95, and on that card, the tag team we just saw will wrestling a tag team lead by my guest at this time, my good longtime friend: TOP GUN!

Top Gun comes out to a chorus of boos from the fans!

Buddy Rose: “QUIET, YOU! Top Gun, don’t hold out any longer. Who will you lead to victory against those punks, Bad Company, May 12 in Vancouver Washington?

Top Gun: “Playboy Buddy Rose, all I have been hearing leading up to this week is how Paul Diamond and Pat Tanaka are legends this, AWA world tag team champions that, WWF this, blah blah blah. Well, let me tell you something. Ladies and gentlemen, today I have brought with me two REAL legends! AND they are BOTH former World Heavyweight Champions!

Rose: “WOW! Two former world champions? Here? In the Pacific Northwest?

Top Gun: “Playboy Buddy Rose, and the rest of the world, I introduce to you the men that will be your NEXT Pacific Northwest Tag Team champions:

Playboy Buddy Rose: “Ladies and gentlemen, I know that I am the Pacific Northwest’s biggest legend, but even my greatness is eclipsed by the accomplishments of these two giants of the wrestling world! Those idiots over at Wrestling Classics must be creaming their jeans right now! THAT’S IT FOR THIS WEEK, the Rose Garden is CLOSED!

Dutch: “Fans, on April 2, 1992 Ron Harris was defeated by THIS man to become the last Pacific Northwest Heavyweight Champion . . . . and he will return May 12 to defend that title against BRUISER BRIAN COX. Lets hear right now from the champion, CW BERGSTROM!

Pretaped comments from the champ. The camera is panned on the Pacific Northwest championship belt, sitting on a mantel over a burning fire, then slowly pans over to CW Bergstrom, standing next to the fire as CW speaks:

CW: “There it is, ladies and gentlemen, the center of it all, the Pacific Northwest championship title belt, a belt that has been held for almost 40 years. You know the names: Buddy Rose, Billy Jack Haynes, Stan Stasiak, Roddy Piper, Rip Oliver, Top Gun . . . I could go on for days. I have had the most humbling privilege of being the LAST of that amazing line of champions, and this belt is my most prized possession, as it has sit right here, on my mantelpiece above my fireplace for the past 3 years.

“But I knew, deep down, it was not going to sit there forever. The time would come when another wrestler would come along and say, ‘CW Bergstrom, take that belt down from the fireplace, and bring it to the ring, because I feel that I am a better man than you.

“So when the news came down the pike that Pacific Northwest Wrestling was holding a Reunion card, May 12, at the Bagley Center in Vancouver, I knew that phone would ring, and it was time to, as the saying goes, shine up the belt.

“Bruiser Brian Cox, what can I say about him? They call him the Rageman and he has been wreaking havoc in Washington and and Oregon rings all the time this belt has been sitting on this mantel. Well, this is it, Brian, the moment you have worked so hard for: a chance at this, the most prestigious title belt in the region, and you know what? Dare I say it? When compared to some of the other so-called 'lworld' championships being claimed out there, maybe the one with the most historic value in all of wrestling.

“What I am about to show you, Bruiser Brian, is the easy part: taking this belt off the mantelpiece.

(CW takes it and holds it in his arms).

“Now comes the hard part: taking this off my waist, May 12, in Vancouver!

"This week we take another look at THE MAESTRO, and we heard from him last week, this week we see the TV return of the current champion, CW BERGSTROM! His opponent May 12 for that belt, BRUISER BRIAN COX, will be this weeks guest in the ROSE GARDEN, meanwhile last weeks guests, Top Gun's team of GEORGES HACKENSCHMIDT and ED ”THE STRANGLER” LEWIS make their first ever television appearance, assuming there were no TV s when they both last wrestled, of course.

"John Rambo makes his return to the area this week! We also hope to have a few moments with commissioner ED “MOONDOG” MORETTI, and I understand the Moondog has a VERY exciting announcement concerning May 12, right here at the Bagley Center, for REUNION ‘95!

KAMALA w/Hunter Q. Robbins III def. Ubas as it appears Robbins has trouble controlling Kamala in the ring. Hunter has to coax Kamala off Ubas after the win up to the crow’s nest for an interview with Dutch Savage.

Dutch: “Well, here he comes Hunter Q. Robbins with the Ugandan Madman Kamala, and I have to tell you, the longer time goes on, the more and more dangerous Kamala seems, and Mr. Robbins the question is will you be able to control this man in his match with Jesse Barr May 12?

HQR: “Mister Dutch Savage how dare you ask me that insipid question. I can assure you that I have 100% total and complete control of this man he is a mere animal, a mere beast, and just like a wild animal, you must tame him, you must control him, you must feed Kamala, and he will do my bidding, and deliver to me what I want: to destroy Jesse Barr, earn a match for the Pacific Northwest Wrestling heavyweight title, and once that title belt is in my possession, no one will be able to stop Kamala, and I will begin my CONQUEST OF PACIFIC NORTHWEST WRESTLING, BWAHAHAHAHA!

MOONDOG ED MORETTI JOINS DUTCH, and announces that a KING OF THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST BATTLE ROYALE will be held May 12 as part Reunion ’95 in Vancouver, WA!

Dutch: “That’s great news, Moondog, and now let me ask you the $64,000 question everyone in the great state of Oregon have been asking: is Pacific Northwest Wrestling running in Vancouver to avoid the Oregon State Athletic Commission?

Moondog: “Oh . . .no .. . .Dutch, nothing could be further from the truth. The fact is, Pacific Northwest Wrestling would LOVE to run cards in Oregon, under the authority of the Oregon State Commission, as matter of fact, I have a lot of good meetings with them and the only reason we are running cards here in the great city of Vancouver, Washington is that the good people at the Bagley Center have bent backwards to not only accommodate our performers but also our fans, and we have every intention to run great cards in Oregon very soon as well!

Dutch: “That’s great to hear Moondog, any predictions on the Pacific Northwest title match May 12 between CW Bergstrom and Brian Cox?

Moondog: “Wow! I’m trying hard to lean towards Bruiser Brian, but I’ve known CW for years now, and he is as tough as it comes, I predict CW BERGSTROM will retain the title May 12!

Dutch: “Moondog, I understand you have a big announcement.

Moondog: “That’s right Dutch as part of Reunion ’95, the opening match WILL be:

“A KING OF THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST 18 MAN, OVER THE TOP ROPE BATTLE ROYALE, and the winner not only is declared King of The Northwest, but also will receive a $500 gift certificate to Tom Peterson & Gloria's Too! in Portland.

Dutch: “Tom Peterson involved in Pacific Northwest Wrestling, it just seems right to me, and Moondoog Moretti also involved, and speaking of which, I hope to speak with the legendary DON OWEN next week as well. Thank you Mr. Commissioner, now, lets go to the ring.

GEORGES HACKENSCHMIDT + ED “THE STRANGLER” LEWIS w/Top Gun def. BOBBY BLAZE + MR. X with a questionable headlock submission by Lewis on X.

Dutch: “These two . . . ‘legends’ . . . face off against the men who we will hear from right now, the current Pacific Northwest Tag team Champions, BAD COMPANY, that match takes place May 12 right here in Vancouver lets hear from Paul Diamond and Pat Tanaka right now.

Pretaped comments from Bad Co:

Paul Diamond: “You know something Paul, just when you thought you’ve seen everything in wrestling, there’s always something that comes along that shocks you. Whether it’s a wrestling clown . . . a dead man . . .someone bringing a Komodo dragon into the ring . . . . .or a dancing turkey . . . you never know what to expect in this wild and crazy business.

“But I have to tell you Pat, this Top Gun takes the cake. Through magic, he resurrects two wrestlers, Georges Hackenschmidt, who by my accounts must 115 years old by now, and Ed The Strangler Lewis, who is about, what 90? 95? And somehow catapults them to the #1 contendership for these Pacific Northwest Tag team titles.

“Now don’t get me wrong---many a legend has held these belts. But two former NWA world champions at the same time? Amazing. Who will Top Gun dig up next? Lew Thez?

“The bottom line is this, Top Gun. Me and Pat get it---we know you wouldn’t be bringing two guys to challenge us for these belts if they weren’t the best tag team you could find, no matter what their name is. But remember this: this is Bad Company you are talking about, former AWA World Tag team Champions. We’ve done this before. Were ready for whoever you got: Masked Marvel, El Santo, William Muldoon, heck, we’ll even take on Gorgeous George and Gus Sonnenberg if we have to, that’s because that is what we are: fighting champions, we will take on all comers, THAT is the Bad Company way and May 12, Vancouver, Washington at Reunion ’95 me and Pay say the belts are staying RIGHT HERE here they belong!

THE FOLLOWING TV TIME HAS BEEN PAID FOR BY PLAYBOY BUDDY ROSE

Buddy: “Over the past two weeks since I brought The Rose Garden back to TV and I have been overwhelmed by an avalanche of cards and letters from millions of my adoring wrestling fans saying, 'Buddy Rose: YOU ARE MY HERO AND WE ARE GLAD YOU ARE BACK!' and have praised the selection of my guests such as Top Guns tag team of Georges Hackenschmidt and Ed 'The Strangler' Lewis, and Bruiser Brian Cox. And they SHOULD praise me, because only PLAYBOY BUDDY ROSE had the connections to bring the top stars of professional wrestling to this television program!

“But in that avalanche of overwhelming love, is the five percent of idiots and stupid morons who have done nothing but complain and whine that I haven’t had any of their so-called ‘fan favorites’ on The Rose Garden. So to show I am truly a man of the people, and to shut all of you the hell up, this week I would like to introduce my guest at this time:
.
.
.
.

.
.


“JOHN RAMBO!

Here he is! Rambo warily walks on the set.

Buddy Rose: “John Rambo lets review your career so far. Yeah, you won a handful of titles in the Pacific Northwest so far, but lets be honest, your back, and your not in the hunt for a title; you don’t have a tag team partner, it seems to ME John Rambo, that you are a washed up name from Pacific Northwest’s past just drifting in the win, without any focus, and why don’t YOU sir, hang it up and . . .

RAMBO GRABS THE MIKE: “Is it ok if I speak?
.
.
.
.


.
.
.


Buddy, startled, wide eyed, just nods his head up and down.

John Rambo: “You see, Buddy Rose you have it all wrong. Do I want to be in contention for the Pacific Northwest title? Of course I do,. And trust me, I will be. Do I want a regular tag team partner? When the time is right, and the right tag team partner comes along, I know the opportunity will present itself. All I know is that tonight in Vancouver, at Reunion ’95, I have a big match with The Maestro, and in order to gain the attention of promoters to grant at title shot, and maybe to catch the attention of a tag team partner, I have to win that match tonight.

“But, the funny thing is this, Playboy Buddy Rose. You think you are so smart. You think you have John Rambo all figured out. You say I don’t have focus, a true goal. Oh, no, Buddy Rose HOW WRONG YOU ARE.

“You see, there is someone in the Pacific Northwest that I owe a RECEIPT TO. Who is this you are wondering? Well, I can tell you only three things. Once, the wrestler I owe the RECEIPT to is no longer in Pacific Northwest Wresting, and I can GUARANTEE you will never return.

CW: “Well, I know John has some heat with Buddy, but I would have guessed John would have challenged Buddy Rose to match right there and then. I also know he has feuded with Bruiser Brian Cox, I mean its hard to tell what he meant. And I know I certainly have no problem with John Rambo, and would cheerfully offer him a title shot if he wanted it, so I assume he's not referring to me either!

CW: “Aw. Mr. Owen, that is very kind of you to say, and I hope I will do the legacy of this historic promotion proud tonight when I defend this belt against Bruiser Brian Cox.

Dutch: “Fans, this announcement, we are cancelling further matches this hour, as we have a lot to sort out in the dressing room. I have to tell you, the actions by one Bruiser Brian Cox are the most disgusting I have ever seen, and for his sake, thank goodness we are not videotaping this program in Oregon, I have not doubt not only would the Oregon State Athletic Commission have banned Bruiser Brian Cox for LIFE for what he just did, but Brian Cox might have been arrested. And, in my opinion, I question whether or not he deserves that title match, tonight at Reunion, here in Vancouver for actions clearly unbecoming of a champion.

“I see CW Bergstrom, who thankfully pulled Brian Cox off Don Owen is on his way, as CW gets his headset on, lets take one last look at the lineup for Reunion ‘95, tonight, May 12 at the Langley Center here in Vancouver:

CW: “Dutch Mantell, I said I was done commentating, but I guess I am forced to come out here again. First, I know some top officials are watching this; I am begging, I am PLEADING, please do NOT suspend Brian Cox. Because, you see, now tonight’s match takes special meaning. It’s not just about this title now. Its personal.

“Brian Cox, what you just did to Don Owen is not just a disgrace, but a blasphemy on the sport of professional wrestling, who knows and who CARES whether or not you were good enough to be part of this promotion 6 years ago? You think you are the only greenhorn to not get a spot on a wrestling card? You think you are the only kid who had to wrestle indy shows in front of 25 fans at a truck stop before getting a break into the big time? I know you not, because at one time, that was ME!

"You should accept that you are NOW, and that is why you are getting a shot at this belt. EVERY wrestler pays their dues, and every wrestler doesn’t get the first break they look for.

“But for some reason, because you are some sort of sick, twisted maniac, you have decided to take your career frustrations out on a 80 year old man?

“Bruiser Brian Cox, what you just showed me and the world is that despite your talents, you are NOT qualified to hold this title belt with pride. And so help me, tonight, right here at the Langley Center, I will do everything in my power, sweat what I need to sweat, bleed every ounce of blood I need to bleed, to make sure you NEVER, EVER, represent Pacific Northwest Wrestling as its champion, that’s all I have to say, Dutch!

CW THROWS DOWN HIS HEADSET AND STORMS OFF!


Dutch Savage: “Fans an very emotional hour with some very, very unexpected and unfortunate turns of events on Pacific Northwest Wrestling, but events that have just added a new element of excitement to tonights Reunion '95 card, see you tonight right here at the Langley Center, and then next week, right on this very channel for MORE Pacific Northwest Wrestling, SEE YOU THEN!

“The other big announcement is that wrestling returns to the Langley Center JUNE 16 for RAISING THE BARR . . . a very appropriate title since Bruiser Brian Cox’s first ever opponent will BE:
.

Former champ CW Bergstrom and new #1 contender Jesse Barr join Dutch!

Dutch: “CW Bergstrom, tough luck May 12, and I think anyone who was at the Langley Center that night, or saw the match at home, considers you an uncrowned champion!

CW: “Well thank you for that, Dutch, but the time for excuses is over. Now, just like everyone else I have to work my way up the ladder and prove to the promoters that I am worthy of recapturing that title belt.

Dutch: “In order to do that you will have to defeat John Rambo June 16 as part of Raising the Barr, and isn’t he your friend?

CW: “Yes he is, Dutch but if you noticed, wrestling is just like racing, the Indianapolis 500 for example. You may have teammates, friends who help each other to the front of the pack, but when its just you and your teammate and there’s nothing between you and the finish line, then you have to go all out to win that race. That’s the way it will be for June 16 when the white flag is waved, John and me will have to set aside our friendship for one night, and wrestle the heck out of each other because a title shot is on the line!

Dutch: “Jesse Barr, has it occurred to you that if you do indeed defeat Bruiser Brian Cox June 16, you will have to defend that title against either this man or John Rambo, both of whom are your friends---or after what we saw during the King of the Pacific Northwest Battle Royale, and you and John Rambo still friends?

Jesse: “Dutch, first let me start by shaking this mans hand, CW Bergstrom, you did a fantastic job representing this promotion and its traditions as the caretaker of the Pacific Northwest belt, I too saw what happened, and frankly, it should be you, not Brian Cox, defending that title belt against me June 16.

"That said Dutch, one thing I have to do June 16---is stay focused on one man, Bruiser Brian Cox. Make no mistake, I don’t think he deserves to be champion, but he is as tough as nails and is as wild as it comes in the ring. He’s big, he’s strong, he has a nasty disposition and if I look ahead for one second towards CW here or John Rambo, he is the type of character who will take advantage of the slightest mental mistake, and then we won't be talking about me in any future title matches against anyone.

“So, if I want to win the title June 16, I have to raise my game . . or as the name implies . . .RAISE THE BARR . . . when I step into the ring with the Rageman. This dog still has a lot of fight left in him, and Rageman Brian Cox if you want to get down and dirty, I think anyone in this business will tell you Jesse Barr is as tough as they come.

“Dutch, as for John, look there was a lot on the line in that battle royale. Who would NOT want to be King of the Pacific Northwest? Who wouldn’t want that big $500 gift certificate to Tom Peterson’s and Gloria’s Too! ? Tempers flared, and that is because both John Rambo and I are COMPETITORS. We shook hands, had a lot of good conversations, and any hard feelings are now put aside.

Dutch: “Well, gentlemen, allow me to wish both of you luck June 16 at RAISING THE BARR! Fans, Cheetah Master is in the ring, lets go to our next opponent!

Rose: “Welcome one and all to the ROSE GARDEN, and fans let’s be honest. If it weren’t for three people, the long, decades long tradition of Pacific Northwest Wrestling would never exist:

“One of those people of course, is YOURS TRULY, not only the greatest champion of all time, but a name SYNONYMOUS with wrestling in this area!

The fans boo!

Buddy: “SHUT UP! The other name, and I hate to admit it, is that old fossil, Don Owen. And finally my next guests, he is the man who sponsored Portland Wrestling all those years, the owner of Portland’s most successful appliance and furniture store chain, TOM PETERSON, joined by his wife Gloria, the owners of TOM PETERSON’S AND GLORIA’S TOO!
!



Tom and Gloria come out and wave to the fans who applaud politely.

Buddy: “Tom Peterson, back in the day, you were the undisputed number one appliance and furniture store in Portland. But lets face it, Tom Peterson, times are tough. Now, you have Circuit City and Best Buy all over town, and Levitz and all these national furniture chains and things are so tough on your store, you even had to bring your old lady in!

Tom: “Now hold on Buddy, that simply isn’t true. That’s not true at all. Sure, now you have all these big box stores, and they are good competitors, but the fact is the people of Portland still appreciate a family run, independent store that can bring the personal touch and customer service those bigger guys cant tough! And one more thing---I'll take this so-called 'old lady' over any woman you can find, not only because she is my lovely WIFE, but also one helluva business woman, and that's why her name is on the sign too, pal!

Buddy: “WHOA WHOA WHOA, there Grandpa, I didn't mean no disrespect towards the Missus, here Mrs. Peterson, have a dozen ROSES, on the Playboy! (Buddy hands her a dozen roses from his flowers). After all, with business down the toilet, I bet HE can't afford them for you anymore, HA HA HA!

THE FANS BOO BUDDY'S DISRESPECTFUL TONE!

"NOW, NOW, don’t worry, because ladies and gentlemen I have some good news. I have an investor who just bought several shares of Tom Peterson and Gloria’s Too! . And with his newfound reserves of wealth, he will SAVE YOUR COMPANY!

Tom: “Hold on Buddy, now we have other shareholders, but I wasn’t informed of any sale. Who is it?

Brian: “OH BOY, thank you so much Mr. Rose I will wear this ALL THE TIME! Now, Hunter, as my NEW financial advisor, I believe you have something to tell the world.

Hunter: “That’s right, Brian. Buddy Rose, whenever a athlete makes the big time, and wins a championship, such as Brian Cox did, they come into a LOT of money. That is where someone like me steps in. I am pleased to announce that as Mr. Cox’s representative, one of the shareholders of Tom Peterson's and Gloria Too!, who shall remain anonymous at this time, had divested himself of his stake and has sold his shares to:

He demands the mike!

Moondog: “Rageman Bruiser Brian Cox, first of all congratulations are in order. Congratulations for winning the battle royale and being crowned King of Pacific Northwest Wrestling. Congratulations on defeating CW Bergstrom and winning the Pacific Northwest title. And congratulations on your newfound wealth coming your way as a champion.

“However, Pacific Northwest Wrestling has not had an opportunity to review an incident that took place right here on this very TV program on May 12, and that is when you laid your hands on an 83 year old man by the name of Don Owen!

“One thing we cannot have, Brian Cox, is that kind of incident if this promotion ever wants to wrestle in places like Oregon ever again, and therefore, to set an example:
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
" . . . . . . Pacific Northwest Wrestling is fining you $25,000 for that attack!


Hunter: “THAT’S OUTRAGEOUS!

Brian: “WAIT! YOU CAN’T DO THAT! THAT’S NOT FAIR!

Moondog: “WHAT’S 'fair' is we also strip you of your title and ban you from this promotion PERMANENTLY----except these fans here are willing to pay GOOD MONEY to see you get beat by Jesse Barr June 16! Pray I don’t change my mind!

WITH THAT MOONDOG WALKS AWAY!
.
.
.
.
.
.
.

Brian: “HUNTER! All that money! We used that money to buy those shares! WE HAVE TO GIVE THE MONEY BACK!

Hunter: “Brian, I CANT. . . . . . . . . .I took out a 35% interest loan using your future earnings as champion as collateral!

Buddy: “OH NO! Because of that no good Moondog Moretti, Brian, you are STUCK. What are you going to do???
.
.
.
.
.
.
.

Tom and Gloria are laughing the whole time!

Tom: “Heh heh, may I make a suggestion, young man? Since you are SO interested in the furniture business that you would make such a big investment, I have a way for you to get the money you need to pay for those shares. We open up Monday morning at 8AM. I’m sure we can find work for you . . . . . . .

Tom: "Isn't she grand?

TOM AND GLORIA WALK OFF TO CHEERS AS BRIAN AND HUNTER SEEM TO BE HAVING A HEATED DISCUSSION ABOUT HIS FINANCIAL PLIGHT!

Buddy Rose: “FANS, I find this disgraceful! The Pacific Northwest Heavyweight Champion and the King of Pacific Wrestling . . .WORKING IN A FRIGGIN FURNITURE STORE? FOR MINIMUM WAGE? I will have this investigated! The Rose Garden is CLOSED FOR BUSINESS!

Dutch: “Defeating Energizer and Masked Terrorist is one thing, but it will be different matter altogether when you take on The Goodfellas right here June 16.

Joey: “Just like us, the Goodfellas are a tough young tag team looking to make a name for themselves in the business, well guess what? We aren’t looking for any breaks, we aren’t looking for anything to be handed to us, if we got to beat the Goodfellas to get the promoters attention, then June 16, that’s what we are gonna do!

Dutch: “A good attitude, and a lot of spirit, I like what I see and hear so far from these two young men, Scott and Joey the COAST TO COAST CONNECTION! More wrestling after these words!

The entire world saw what they did: they DELIBERATELY put a double CHOKEHOLD on my two wrestling legends, and intentionally got themselves disqualified May 12 at Reunion. Paul Diamond, Pat Tanaka, I call upon you and Pacific Northwest Wrestling to show you are HONORABLE champions, and give these men the respect here that they have received all over the world for the past 95 years and give them the rematch they deserve, June 16 at Raising the Barr!

Bruiser Brian is in a FOUL MOOD and tries to attack Kid before the bell, but Kid takes advantage of Cox’s mistakes and gamely fight back! But Cox is too much, and nails Kid with a powerbomb at 8:34 to win the match! But wait, he is NOT DONE! HE STOMPS A MUD HOLE INTO THE KID AFTER THE BELL!

Dutch: “And that night the Maestro meets my guest at this time, the very exciting ERIK WATTS, and Erik, I know it has not been as easy time for you in this business, of course being the son of legendary wrestler Bill Watts, and many have contended that the only reason you got a push in WCW a few years ago was because of that reason, that’s a little unfair isn’t it?

Erik: “I always thought it was Mr. Savage after all I carried my own gear and paid my dues just like the rest of the boys, but that’s why I am now here in the Pacific Northwest. You know its funny, when I was in WCW all I heard was ‘daddy’s boy’ this and 'daddy’s boy’ that yet no one ever said those things about Terry and Dory Funk, Greg Gagne, or countless other wrestlers who’s fathers ran the company. I’m not trying to compare myself to any of those wrestlers either, Mr. Savage, I know I still have a lot to prove in the ring.

Dutch: “I think what a lot of fans forgot is that this young man not only stands at 6’6 and over 250 pounds, but is a great natural athlete who was a quarterback for the University of Louisville, a Division I school, who passed for over 300 yards against Ohio State and West Virginia, and turned down offers from the NFL to pursue wrestling, so Erik you would not be the first and certainly not the last college football star to go right to the squared circle.

Erik: “Thank for remembering that Mr. Savage, and while I am very proud of those accomplishments, the bottom line is right now the way I see if there are 20 wrestlers in the Pacific Northwest I’m #20 in the rankings. My father? Bill Watts is thousands of miles away from here, and is not running this promotion. I am out on my own, with no one around for people to say Erik Watts got any special ‘breaks’. I’m really, really looking forward to my match with The Maestro, and I am putting the wrestling world on notice: Erik Watts aint Daddy’s little boy no more, I’m here to prove I am my own man, and can make my own way in this sport, all the way to the top!

Dutch: “That’s a young man to admire, fans, when we return: does Brian Cox show up to work? We will find out when we return!

Dutch: “Fans if you watched the Rose Garden last week you would have discovered that Pacific Northwest Champion Brian Cox conspired with manager and financial advisor Hunter Q Robbins III to take a out a high interest loan to buy shares of legendary retail chain Tom Petersons and Gloria’s Too! only to be fined $25,000 by Pacific Northwest Wrestling for an attack on Don Owen in May.

“Now that he is deeply in debt, Tom and Gloria Peterson offered Brian Cox a chance to work off that debt by offering him a job at their famous store! Our cameras were on hand this past Monday morning to see if the Pacific Northwest Champion would take them up on the offer!
.
.

Dutch is standing outside Tom Peterson's and Gloria’s Too! with Tom and Gloria.

Dutch: “This is Dutch Savage on location at Tom Peterson and Gloria’s Too! And Mr. and Mrs. Peterson, if I recall you told Bruiser Brian Cox that the store opens at 8am, my watch says 8:30, I am guessing at this point the champion is NOT showing up?

Tom: “Well, the choice is his, Dutch, maybe he got another job, but . .

A LIMO PULLS UP! Out of it steps HUNTER Q. ROBBINS III and behind him BRUISER BRIAN COX, wearing his king’s crown, holding a newspaper in one hand, and a coffee in the other. He yawns after stepping out of the limo!

Dutch: “Hunter Q. Robbins III! What are you doing here?

Hunter: “I am simply here to make sure the rights of my client, Bruiser Brian Cox are protected!

Brian: “That’s right, fossils! I am THE KING! Here’s how this works: I get TWO thirty minute coffee breaks in the morning, one in the afternoon, and a ONE HOUR LUNCH!

Hunter: “And that is just the beginning. I suggest we go into your office to complete our demands!

Gloria: “OH really?

“If I recall, we only hired THIS man, not YOU. And, young man, if you step ONE foot into our store: I WILL CALL THE PORTLAND POLICE, AND HAVE YOU ARRESTED FOR TRESPASSING!

Tom: "I told you fellas---dont mess with the little lady!

Gloria: “As for YOU Mister Cox . . . .the way I see it, you are a HALF HOUR LATE! And, according the store employee handbook, which WAS mailed to your house, WE ARE DOCKING YOU HALF A DAYS PAY!

Brian: “WHAT??? OH BOY! HEY!!!

Hunter: “This is an OUTRAGE! I shall report these abuses to the State of Oregon Labor Relations Board!

Tom: “Be my guest, son! I think you’ll find our labor record is PRISTINE.

Brian: “THIS IS INSULTING! Do you know who I am? I’m Bruiser Brian Cox, King of Pacific Northwest Wrestling!

Gloria: “Well, young man, I’m sure you will find gainful employment elsewhere. How much did you invest in our store, again? And how in debt are you?
.
.
.
.
.
.

Brian: “DAMMIT. All right, all right YOU WIN lets get started.

Gloria: “Oh, and by the way, please take off that silly crown. There’s a no hats policy at work!

Tom reaches for Brian: “And I will take that coffee . . and that newspaper . . . .thank you, and you can have them back during your 10 MINUTE coffee break at 10 o’clock! OOPS--- thats right, when you are late, YOU FORFEIT YOUR BREAK.

BRIAN, crestfallen follows the Petersons into the store, leaving an incredulous Hunter Q. Robbins behind, shaking his head!

Hunter: "Dutch Savage, this is worse than child labor! This is worse than hiring illegal immigrants! I cant believe ANYONE would ever want to work at this sweatshop! I shall be in contact with my attorneys at ONCE!

Hunter hops into the limo which speeds off!

Dutch: “MY OH MY, fans, Tom and Gloria Peterson are LAYING DOWN THE LAW! Just for the record, I've been to their store many, many times and can tell you there aren't two nicer folks to work for. But How will Bruiser Brian Cox fare in his first day? We will find out next week, for Pacific Northwest Wrestling, this is Dutch Savage on location at Tom Petersons and Gloria’s Too! in downtown Portland!

Bruiser Brian and Hunter Q storm the stage to speak with Dutch!

Dutch: “Well, gentlemen, John Rambo and Jesse Barr out it out there last week, they have challenged THIS man Bruiser Brian Cox and the Warlord to a tag team match, next week right here on TV!

Hunter: “Dutch Savage, I have three words: HOW DARE YOU. Tom and Gloria Peterson HOW DARE YOU treat this man like a mere ditch digger. But now lets take a look at this challenge. JOHN RAMBO AND JESSE BARR, HOW DARE YOU! How dare you interfere in this mans business last week on television. HOW DARE YOU lay your hands on him, unprovoked. HOW DARE YOU then have the gall to try and lay your hands on The Warlord. And finally, HOW DARE YOU challenge BOTH Bruiser Brian Cox and The Warlord to a tag team match!

“I have seen many men do many foolish things over the years, but none so foolhardy as this. Dutch Savage, OF COURSE I will accept John Rambo and Jesse Barr’s brash challenge, and look forward to the opportunity to exterminate these insects from interfering in my scheme to take over Pacific Northwest Wrestling!

Dutch: “Brian Cox, a chance to face Jesse Barr, one on one, before you defend that title against him June 16 at ‘raising the Barr’!

Brian: “Raising the Barr? HEY! OH BOY! HAHAHAHA! Jesse Barr when I get finished with you next week there wont be any ‘Raising the Barr’ June 16. The only thing YOU will be raising is your right arm, to pull on the call string, to call the nurse to CHANGE YOUR BEDPAN! HEY! OH BOY! HAHAHAHAHA!

Dutch: “ALL RIGHT, enough of that, fans, the match is MADE, and it’s a big one, as big as it gets, JESSE BARR AND JOHN RAMBO WILL FACE BRUISER BRIAN COX AND THE WARLORD NEXT WEEK, right here on Pacific Northwest Wrestling! Bull Pain in action when we return!

Dutch: “Top Gun, the Pacific Northwest Tag Team Champions BADD COMPANY have accepted your challenge, but it will be a NO DQ match for their belts, tonight right here in Vancouver!

Gun: “Mister Savage, once again Paul Diamond and Pat Tanaka have found an unfair advantage, see these men are scientific Greco-Roman wrestlers, they never break the rules, they don’t even know how to throw a punch, so this match heavily favors Badd Company.

“As for the so-called chokehold, that is what differentiates a true professional, a legend, 46 time NWA champion such as Ed Lewis, who knows how to properly execute a LEGAL headlock, and a street thug brawler such as Paul Diamond or Pat Tanaka who only know how to choke their victims, and that, Dutch Savage is why they got disqualified. No matter, because at the end of the day, decades, centuries, of experience will always win out over thuggery in a wrestling match, and Badd Company there is nowhere to escape tonight because these two men you are looking at now will shock the wrestling world and return to the ring as champions once again, proving that Georges Hackenschmidt and Ed “The Strangler” Lewis are the greatest of all time!

Dutch: “Fans, last week Bruiser Brian Cox FINALLY showed up for his first day of work at Tom Peterson and Glorias Too but did not get off to a good start. Not only were the Petersons not impressed with his attitude and demands, but he showed up half an hour late.

“Nonetheless the Rageman followed through and started work under the watchful eye of the owners of Portland’s most storied retail store, and our cameras were there. Lets take a look and see what happened!

Dutch: “This is Dutch Savage on location at Tom Peterson and Gloria’s Too! And joining me right now are the owners, Tom and Gloria Peterson, and Mr. and Mrs. Peterson, Bruiser Brian Cox did not get off on the right foot with either of you by showing up late, but I understand he is working, how is he doing?

Tom: “Well, Dutch we started him with unloading furniture off trucks in receiving.

Dutch: “All right fans, lets take a look!

As “Tuff Enuff” by the Fabulous Thunderbirds

The Fabulous Thunderbirds: Tuff Enuff

Finally, Dutch, along with the Petersons approach Brian to see how he is doing.

Brian: “HEY! OH BOY! Are you kidding me? This is GREAT! I have no problem lifting furniture, Dutch Savage, after all it is a great workout and it will build my muscles, and help me beat Jesse Barr and keep my title June 16!

Tom: “You know something, Brian, I am very pleased with your work ethic so far, and would love for you to be a permanent loading dock worker for my store. But see, now that we are BUSINESS PARTNERS, I need you to learn that there is more to the furniture business than just physical labor. Follow me.

With that, Brian shrugs his shoulders. The next scene is of Brian, wearing a short sleeved dress shirt and a tie, pencil in ear punching away at a calculator, with stacks of invoices on his desk! Brian is clearly flustered, and is shaking his head. Gloria walks in, with a stack of papers!

Gloria: “Young man, all of these invoices are INCORRECT, I need you to fix the math errors.

Brian: “WHAT? Look lady, I already have 4 piles on my desk to go through.

Gloria: “Well, you better work faster, because here’s ANOTHER pile of invoices I need you to write up---and these need to ALL be done by LUNCH TIME!

Brian: “LUNCH time? Its 11:30! I’ll never get these done in time.

Gloria: “Hmmmm. Something that you should thought about . . .WHEN YOU CAME IN HALF AN HOUR LATE!

GLORIA LEAVES AND SLAMS THE DOOR leaving the beleaguered PACIFIC Northwest Champion now accountant shaking his head in disbelief!

Next scene we are outside of Brian’s office, with Tom and Gloria glaring at their watches. Brian finally comes out with a stack of papers! He hands them to Gloria!

Brian: “There you go, lady, every invoice you gave me: with every price down to the last penny in Chinese money, check them, NOT ONE Mistake!

Gloria: “Well, its 2 hours late, but I will accept your effort!

Brian: “You know, I was thinkin’ . . this math thing . . its not for me. How about I get another workout on the loading dock?

Brian unclips his tie!

Tom: “Oh no, young man. See, now that you appreciate the physical effort, and understand the paperwork end, now its time to learn the most important part of the furniture business---or ANY business:

Dutch, Tom and Gloria look on as Brian is surrounded by a mob of customers, finally BRIAN CANT TAKE IT ANYMORE, PICKS UP A SOFA, AND THROWS IT! Women shriek and grab their crying children! He storms over to the trio, and take his tie off and THROWS IT AT TOM PATERSON!

Brian: “HEY! That is IT! OH BOY, I AM THROUGH, I QUIT!

Dutch: “But Brian, what about all the money you invested?

Brian: “I don’t care! ILL FIND ANOTHER WAY! IM THROUGH WITH THE FURNITURE BUSINESS!

BRIAN STORMS OFF!

Dutch: “Well, Tom what can I say? He tried.

Tom: “Dutch, hopefully that young man just realized that being a businessman is more than just spreading money around. It requires hard work, keeping an eye on the details, and taking care of your customers, each and every day, and that is what we strive to do here at Tom Peterson and Gloria’s Too!

Gloria: “Speaking of which, Tom, it looks like we have quite a crowd of customers that young man just left behind, we need to get back to work because some of them are leaving!

Tom: "I'll take care of it: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN---I am declaring this CUSTOMER APPRECIATION DAY---EVERYTHING IN THE STORE IS 10 PERCENT OFF---TODAY ONLY!

THE CUSTOMERS ALL CHEER, and those who were leaving come back in. Tom and Gloria leave and shake hands and greet the customers, all happy to see them personally taking care of their needs!

Dutch: “Well, there you go folks I have to give Bruiser Brian Cox a LITTLE credit, he gave it the old college try, but maybe he learned that he should stick to what he is best at: wrestling. For Pacific Northwest Wrestling this is Dutch Savage on location!

BULL PAIN def. THE MAESTRO, 8:08

Dutch: “Fans have been talking a lot about the many of the big matches at Raising the Barr tonight at the Langley Center, one that intrigues me is between THAT man, Bull Pain, and the Warlord! Speaking of the big Warlord, our BIG TAG TEAM MAIN EVENT IS NEXT, don’t touch that dial!

Dutch Savage does a recap of the events leading up to the next match; the Pacific Northwest Champion Brian Cox went berserk on his hapless opponent 2 weeks ago after learning he was fined $25,000 by PNW for attacking Don Owen . . . .Jesse Barr, who faces Cox at Raising the Barr for the PNW title made the save, but was attacked by Cox's stablemate The Warlord, only to be rescued by John Rambo as a make nice for double crossing Barr during the King of Portland Battle Royale. After the incident, Rambo went a step further, offering to tag with Jesse against the Rageman Brian Cox and Warlord!

“Trip to the Brain” plays, and HERE THEY ARE, lead down the aisle by Hunter Q. Robbins III, BRUISER BRIAN COX AND THE WARLORD!

Panteras “Far Beyond Driven Medley” plays and here is JOHN RAMBO, who waits at ringside as “Send for the Man” plays and here he is, the man of the hour, the man who might be the PNW champion, JESSE BARR! Jesse and John then slide into the ring, and under the feet of an attacking Cox and Warlord, they stand up, and GO TOE TO TOE WITH THE HEELS AND THE BELL RINGS!

JESSE BARR + JOHN RAMBO V BRUISER BRIAN COX + THE WARLORD w/Hunter Q. Robbins III

The fans thrill and marvel as Barr and Rambo take the fight right to the champion and Warlord, and even score a near fall, until Cox and Warlord escape out of the ring, and regroup outside! Jesse and Rambo fire the crowd up, and finally Warlord comes in and faces Rambo, and beats him a test of strength, Rambo tags out to Barr, who tires to take the behemoth down a notch with kicks, stomps and punches, Warlord throws Jesse around like a rag doll, then tags out to Cox, who cant wait to get a piece of his challenger and maybe get a few digs in early before their showdown tonight at Raising the Barr!

During the action, Dutch informs the fans that due to the gravity of this contest, Buddy Rose has been given the week off and the Rose Garden will resume during the next TV taping!

Jesse has the upper hand, and tags to Rambo to take a break. Rambo clotheslines Cox, then immediately tags out to Barr, who scores a near fall on Cox! Barr is all over Brian Cox!

Dutch: “FANS, we have to break a way, our camera will continue filming, you won’t miss a thing, don’t touch that remote, this match continues when we return!

We are back, and with some outside interference from Robbins, Cox is finally able to get a cheap shot in on Barr, and escape and tag to the BIG WARLORD! Rambo, furious, chases Robbins, Barr goes to tag out, BUT RAMBO IS NOT THERE, he is bussy minding himself with the meddling manager, perhaps needlessly so. The Warlord takes advantage of the distracted Barr, and puts him in a backbreaker, with Cox cheering him on, immediately seeing his title retention chances skyrocket!

Finally, Rambo takes the tag rope, but one has to wonder if its too late as Warlord power bombs Jesse through the mat, then goes for a cover:

NO! COX demands a tag, HE wants to humiliate Barr on TV, the tag allows Jesse to lean over and stretch his arm for the taaaaaag . .

NO! COX gets to him, and drags his rival into the ring for more punishment, and he and Warlord play to two one one game, destroying Barr who cant see to get that HOT TAG to Rambo that would raise the roof on the Langley Center! The fans chant 'JESSE! JESSE! '

Warlord is in there, and picks up Jesse, and tags to Cox, then holds his shoulders back as Cox flies across the ring for the cheap shot: JESSE DUCKS! COX NAILS WARLORD AND BOTH MEN FALL OUT OF THE RING, WHAT A MISCUE! JESSE LEAPS OVER AND TAGS TO JOHN RAMBO! RAMBO HOPS INTO THE RING AND RUNS IN PLACE, CLENCHING HIS FIRSTS, FIRING THE CROWD UP! As he does this Jesse staggers to his feet on the other side of the ring, and John turns towards him and crouches.

Jesse stands all the way up:

RAMBO FLIES ACROSS THE RING, AND CLOTHESLINES JESSE BARR RIGHT ACROSS THE NOSE!

BARR GOES DOWN LIKE A SACK OF HAMMERS! RAMBO STANDS OVER HIM, YELLING AND POINTING A FINGER AS BARR WITHES ON THE MAT, HOLDING HIS FACE, AND FANS, THERE IS BLOOD GUSHING FROM BARR'S NOSE! Outside the ring, Cox and Warlord seem as stunned as we all are, and Rambo MOTIONS FOR THEM TO COME INTO THE RING, AND FINISH BARR OFF, AND THEN HEADS UP TO THE Stage!

Dutch: “Fans, what in the WORLD is going on here?

Before Cox and Warlord can enter the ring, CW BERGSTROM FLIES IN AND PROTECTS BARR, AND WAIVES FOR MEDICS, AS BARR’S NOSE AND FACE ARE QUICKLY A BLOODY MESS! Cox and Warlord clearly want a piece of Jesse, but referee Jimmy Jett and now Moondog Moretti come out, and stop them, and order them to vacate the ringside area and medics rush in with towels and ice to tend to Barr's nose! John Rambo is with Dutch, and the fans are booing John out of the building!

Dutch: “John Rambo, WHAT in the HELL are you thinking? What was THAT all about?

John Rambo: “It was a cold December night in Portland, Oregon in 1989. Here I was, a rookie in the business and Sandy Barr was the promoter at the time. I was scheduled to face another Barr, ART Barr, and the referee? SHAWN Barr.

“Unbeknownst to me, someone falsely accused me of being a stooge against Sandy Barr with the Oregon State Athletic Commission, and they sent Sandy Barr’s son, ART as a grocery clerk to collect a debt. During that match, Art Barr SUCKER clotheslined me, breaking my face in EIGHT places, and destroying my nose. I spent FOUR days in the hospital with a broken face, and spent 2 and a half hours of reconstructive surgery, just so I could walk out in public again.

“After that all happened, Sandy Barr meekly apologized to me, with some cock and bull story about how I wasn't the stooge after all, and it was all a big misunderstanding. YEAH RIGHT. A misunderstanding that cost me TWENTY THOUSAND DOLLARS IN HOSPITAL BILLS. If it was all a big misunderstanding, Dutch Savage, then why wasnt dime ONE of that bill ever paid?

"But you know what I did Dutch Savage, you know what I did? I made nicey nice. I bided my time all these years. I played the game. I even invited Jesse Barr to my house for dinner, and sucked up to his dad. Because I knew one day, I would lure them in and get my payback.

“JESSE BARR, look at you now. A BLOODY crumpled mess. Its too bad for you that your piece of crap, THAT’S RIGHT PIECE OF CRAP, DRUG ADDICT RAPIST BROTHER killed himself with a drug overdose a few months back, because since your idiot brother is no longer with us, I had to take my revenge out on YOU!

Dutch: "Come on now!

Rambo grabs the mike! "HOW DOES IT FEEL JESSE BARR? SANDY BARR? You old FOOL, I know you are watching, how foes it feel to see your son, laying in that ring, in a pool of his own blood, right before he was supposed to wrestle for that big Pacific Northwest title?

“Dutch Savage, let me lay it out for everyone to know: ever since that night 5 years ago, I HATE, with all my being, all my passion, every ounce of energy in my body, HATE THE BARR FAMILY. I hate JESSE BARR. I hate SANDY BARR. I hate Shawn Barr, I hate ART BARR and hope he is ROTTING IN HELL, and if there is one thing left for me to do in wrestling, IT IS TO RUN THAT ENTIRE FAMILY OF JERKS OUT OF THE SPORT IF IT’S THE LAST THING I DO, YOU GOT A PROBLEM WITH THAT DUTCH SAVAGE, YOU WANT A PIECE OF THIS!? HUH?

Dutch: “Now, you get on out of here John Rambo, dont you threaten ME, what you just did and said is DISGUSTING!

John: “COME ON YOU LOVED IT, DUTCH!

Dutch: “I CERTAINLY DID NOT, get off this stage, John Rambo, let me tell you . . .fans . . there you see it, it is good to see Jesse Barr IS walking out on his own power as the medics and CW Bergstrom and Moondog Moretti . . . look at those towels, they were white now completely soaked in blood, and fans, you have to wonder, how will this impact the Pacific Northwest title match between Jesse Barr and Brian Cox, IF Jesse Barr can even wrestle at all?

“I . . just am in shock, who knew the hatred, the bitterness, the bottomless thirst for vengeance that lied in the heart and soul for John Rambo all this time? That’s not the John Rambo I know, fans, we will be back.

Dutch: “And again, friends, I have been told that Jesse Barr is being taken to the hospital to have that nose examined, possibly broken, at the hands of John Rambo, of all people. And just for the record, because he was the legal man when he came up here to brag about what he had done, the ruling by referee Jimmy Jett was a count out, Bruiser Brian Cox and the Warlord are your official winners of that tag team match, but after what we just saw, winners are few and far between on todays show, let me tell you that.

CW BERGSTROM joins Dutch!

CW: “Dutch, I just want to let the fans know what is going on with Jesse. First off, he is OK, but clearly, he had a broken or fractured nose, and it is going to be looked at right now. I can tell you that knowing Jesse, he will do all he can to be at that title match, and John Rambo?

"Obviously you aren’t one half the man we all thought you are. Jesse Barr is my friend, I have been friends with the entire Barr family for years, and was at Art Barr’s funeral, and I take umbrage with your insulting remarks. John Rambo, our match at Raising the Barr is not just about who gets the next title shot, its personal. I’m going to make you pay in spades for every insult hurled at the Barr family just a few minutes ago, and if I leave anything left of you, I’m sure Jesse will do the rest when he gets a chance.


Dutch: “All right, well fans, indeed tonight’s card right here in Vancouver has just gotten a BIT more interesting.

CW: “One more thing Dutch. I know Jesse Barr enough to know he is just crazy enough, even with a broken nose, or even a broken FACE, to step into that ring with Brian Cox. That’s how much the Pacific Northwest title means to him. We need all the fans to come here to the Langley Center June 16 to support Jesse, because if he does step into that ring, he will need all the help he can get now!

Dutch: “We have a few moments left lets go to the ring!
