People came together at the Oroville Convention Center for a night of Pro Championship Wrestling on Saturday. The “Blueprint” show provided a handful of diligent matches amongst the athletes with vocal fans in attendance.

A member of the legendary Bloodline of Samoan wrestlers, Journey Fatu, picked up a quick and easy win over Angel Escabar. Fatu easily got the upper hand with his strength when he threw Escabar into the corner followed by a backdrop slam. He continued to control the match while he tossed Escabar around both inside and outside of the ring.

PCW has been around since 1999 and have held their events from Stockton up to Red Bluff in Tehama County, including the Tehama District Fairgrounds.

They hold four premium shows a year: “Pandemonium,” “Off the Chain,” “Last Man Standing” and “Extreme Measures.” Their weekly shows are posted on their YouTube channel, along with  their previous events.

The first match started with Marysville wrestler Dicky Dakin and Zack “PrimeTime” Reeb who challenged The Adult Dudes for the tag team championships. They were unsuccessful in obtaining the gold due to a miscommunication and will lead to a one-on-one match at the following premium event, “Off the Chain.”

Jayson Xavier and Boyce LeGrande battled in a highly competitive match. The momentum went back and forth filled with powerslams, near falls and counters. Xavier defeated LeGrande with a controversial fast count which will likely continue their feud. 

Brandon Nash delivered a cheap shot to Rayshawn Prince before the bell to get an early advantage. It would eventually backfire on him as he took the loss from a devastating knee to the face finisher. 

PCW returns to Oroville on Sept. 28 at the Salmon Festival.
