Portland Wrestling Poster - December 13, 1990 - Camp Rilea Event

 

From the collection of The Equalizer!

Equalizer had several promotional posters on display at the Portland Wrestling Expo. I bet this was an amazing show!! I wish I had gone to more of the towns. Those were always fun shows, and a totally different vibe than being at the Sports Arena. Did you go to shows in the towns?

The Equalizer!

Another fun pic from the Portland Wrestling Expo! The Equalizer! We had a great chat, and he looked through the whole scrapbook! Another person I never got a photo with back in the Sports Arena days. I guess most of my film went into photos of me with Steve Doll! 😁. Thank you, @evadsully, for those amazing Saturday nights. They meant more to me than you could ever know.
