Al Madril Is Hilarious!

Al Madril in the ring with Jeff Warner, Don Owen, and referee Sandy Barr.


During Grappler's One Man show, he had some stories to tell about Al Madril.  It reminded me of a

time when we were standing in line waiting for the Sports Arena to open on a Saturday night.  The 

crowd was big because it was Kids Free Night.  Al Madril walks out of the arena from the side 

door wrestler's entrance.  He's dressed in his street clothes, which were always tight jeans, 

snakeskin boots, and a white t-shirt. He walks up and down the line yelling about snot-nose little brats, 

and freeloaders.  Everyone is yelling and screaming at him!  It was a great heel moment.

Portland Wrestling Program - February 16, 1988 - Frank Bonnema Memorial Extravaganza

Frank Bonnema passed not long before I started watching Portland Wrestling.
Getting the chance to watch him through YouTube videos has given me a real
appreciation of his commentary style.  I didn't know much about him at the time of
this Extravaganza, but I sure could tell how much love and respect everyone had for him.
