This is the Fifth annual Pacific Cup, a tournament that features Junior Heavyweight on the West Coast, along with the occasional star from a Japanese promotion. The past winners have been Asian Couger, Black Dragon, Scotty Mac and Major Hardway. Its a 2 Day Tourney and here is Day One's results.

 

 

Non-tournament:

 

Dropkick Murphy (ECCW) pinned Derek Sanders (APW in Cali) to retain the NWA Canadian junior title with a rollup

 

First round matches:

 

Dave Richards (ECCW and numerous other promotions on the West Coast) made T. Kasaki submit to a crossface variation.

 

Puma (New Japan USA) pinned Jesse Jimenez (Portland) by cradling him out of a suplex

 

JJ Perez (APW) pinned MR2 (ECCW) with a top-rope Diamond Cutter

 

Aaron Idol (ECCW) pinned Memphis Raines (ECCW) in the Match of the Night after a handspring into a spinning high kick

 

Black Dragon (Portland Wrestling) pinned Scotty Mac (Just had a OVW Tryout) after a shooting star press

 

American Dragon (Everywhere) pinned Chance Beckett (2003 Super Eight Finalist) after a top-rope backdrop

 

 

Day 2 is tonight. Go to ECCW.com if you want to come out.

From what I've seen of Beckett, I absolutely love him. That American Dragon match should be outstanding. I would assume only good things could come from Black Dragon/Scotty Mac.

 

I wish ECCW would make more trips to the south.

I'm surprised Beckett didn't become a big indy player in the past year. He looked great in the Super 8 and then he just sorta faded out of the limelight, at least in national profile.

Alright, Day 2 results. If anyone wants to add details, be my guest.

 

Non-Tourney Matches:

 

Nate Daniels vs. Mike Dempsy which I guess would be considered a pre-show match. Missed this, and thank god. I think Nate won, but who gives a flying fuck?

 

Jesse Jimenez def. Tisoy. Fun little match, and the highlight of the match had to be the Family Guy sell of the nipple twist. Uh, wow that looks strange on computer screen.

 

Derek Sanders lost to Freddy Funk. Awful, boring match. It could cure insomia. Pretty much everyone treated this as intermission.

 

Matt Borne, Juggernaut and Abandon vs. Machete Brown (with Scotty Mac), Ladies Choice, and Seth Knight (with Brian Sommers). Fun garbage match. The highlight was probably Juggernaut's intro which was a minute and a half of listing creditials.

 

 

Tournament Matches:

Puma def. Dave Richards via tapout. Good match.

 

Aaron Idol def. JJ Perez. Another good match. Idol is pretty fucking over here.

 

American Dragon def. Black Dragon. Probably the weakest of the second round matches, but certainly not because of Am. Drag. Black Dragon used to be better, but still a pretty good match. Funny part was Am Drag begging off a little old lady to not hurt him. Pretty funny stuff.

 

Aaron Idol def. American Dragon and Puma (first eliminated). Awesome, awesome match. One of the best live matches I've ever seen, no doubt. The reaction to Idol's win was pretty massive.
