Don Coss welcomes Don Callis in the Crows Nest. He says that he has been in negotiations with a foreign superpower that isn’t Canada in order to bring in three monsters to run wild and rampant in the Pacific Northwest. Last week he was able to do that. So, without waiting, he wants to bring out his new group…THE BOLSHEVIKS !!!! He introduces the 6’4, 300+ lb Nikolai Volkoff, the 6’2, 260lb Boris Zhukov and his crown jewel….the 6’2, 275lb former world heavyweight champion… “THE RUSSIAN NIGHTMARE” NIKITA KOLOFF!!!!!! The monsters are behind Callis. Callis says with his guidance you are looking at the newest champions, the newest group to dominant, the newest faction to decimate everyone on their way to dominance. Coss says that there will be a list of guys willing to stand up to them. Callis laughs saying no one can stand up to them. No one is big enough, strong enough or dangerous enough. Pay attention to what Callis says. His Russians will dominate. They leave as we go to commercial break.

We are back with Blears saying people need to get to Tom Peterson’s with deals like he has going on. Before the break we heard from the newest stable to hit the Pacific Coast and it will be a deadly one for sure. There is no way Volkoff & Zhukov will not be considered top contenders to the Pacific Coast tag team titles. Speaking of top contenders, next up is a tag team match with a team that many consider the number one contenders, Badd Company, Pat Tanaka & Paul Diamond. We head to the ring for the action.

In the Crows Nest, “All American” Ron Simmons is with Don Coss. He says that he heard and saw that a bunch of commie Russians are thinking they are going to take over and run all over the good American people here in the Pacific Northwest. He is specifically interested in that Nikita Koloff guy. But he wants the people to understand Ron Simmons is not stupid. He won’t be alone when they all meet up. Next week he will be here with a partner or two. He wants them Russians in the ring for their first match. If Callis has the guts, his guys will be ready. Simmons leaves as we head to commercial.

Blears and Coss are excited for the action coming up. Right now though, it is going to be a fight. Jesse Barr, an exceptional second-generation wrestler, will take on Curtis Thompson and Thompson is a brick house of solid muscle. It will be a fight for sure as it can go either way. You have the technical skill of Barr taking on the power of Thompson.

Curt Hennig makes his way to the Crows Nest. He tells Coss he did a lot of work in the Pacific Northwest, he held a lot of titles he won in this very arena. He was sitting in the Chicago area when he got a little homesick. Not that out here was his home exactly but he did spend a lot of time out here. So, he made some plans to come out to the Pacific Northwest, wrestle a little, and make a little money, win some titles because that is what he does. Anyway, he was in the back and heard this little puke, Don Callis talk and bring out some Russians. Then he heard Ron Simmons out here. The thing is….Curt Hennig is a lot of things. He is cool. He is perfect. He is the ultimate wrestler. But above all, he is American. The fans start to loudly cheer at this. He continues saying that if Ron Simmons wants a partner to rid the Pacific Northwest of the Russians and Canadian? Curt Hennig is his man. All he has to do is name the time and place and Hennig will be there. BUT… above all else, like Hennig said, he is here to wrestle a little, make some money, and win some titles. He has been a champion 4 times in this area. He is going to make it a 5th. He wants Tim Flowers to know Hennig is coming for that belt. Hennig leaves as Coss sends us to commercial.

Final Commercial is done and we are here for the main event. The Pacific Coast heavyweight champion “Diamond” Tim Flowers is going to defend the title against “Hacksaw” Brett Sawyer. Sawyer is a man who has fought the wars in the Pacific Northwest and so has the champ. These two are very evenly matched with Flowers being 6’ 240lbs and Sawyer being slightly smaller but tons faster. We head to that ring for the main event action.

MAIN EVENT (Pacific Coast Heavyweight Championship): “Hacksaw” Brett Sawyer def. “Diamond” Tim Flowers *champion* via DQ after Rip Oliver & Ed Wiskoski rush the ring and attack Sawyer. They make it a three on one until Curt Hennig, Eddie & Doug Gilbert rush down to even the odds. Flowers, Oliver, and Wiskoski head to higher ground.

Oliver, Wiskoski, and the champion Flowers are in the crows nest with Coss. Oliver says here you have the Clan, the greatest group of wrestlers to ever get in any ring in the Pacific Northwest. It don’t matter if it is Oregon, Washington, or British Columbia, this is the best thing going right now. They are going to be the champs for a long time. Coss says they have one title, the heavyweight title. Flowers jumps in saying that is only for now. Beside him there are two of the greatest wrestlers here ever to be in tag teams. “Easy” Ed has 8 tag team title reigns, with 7 being in this area. “The Crippler” Rip Oliver has 17 tag team title reigns in this area alone. 25 tag team title reigns here. It means nothing for them work wise to make it 26. Flowers continues saying that Sawyer, Hennig, and the Gilberts are going to learn a lesson and that lesson is don’t cross the Clan. Coss says good night while Blears tells fans to stay tuned next week for more action.
