Championship Wrestling USA Newspaper Clipping - November 7, 1992 - No DQ TV Title

Someone for the Express Weekly Advertiser, where this clipping was found,

always seemed to think that Mike Winner was Mike Winter, and they never seemed

to be corrected.

 

Portland Wrestling Program - March 3, 1992 - Uncle Milt's - Volcanic Action Erupts

Thanks to Curtis for yet another amazing Portland Wrestling program!

This is an era of Portland Wrestling, after we lost KPTV, when the crowds

were getting smaller, but the action was still great.

Unfortunately, there isn't much surviving TV footage from this era.

It aired only on a few smaller cable channels. I didn't have them.

I'd love to see it again.  Do you have it on VHS somewhere? 

Email me if you do! I can digitize it for you!

Portland Wrestling Poster - January 26, 1992 - Uncle Milt's Pizza - Vancouver, WA - Double Main Event

 

Uncle Milt's Pizza Menu & Event Schedule April 1992

In 1991, Portland Wrestling formed a partnership with Uncle Milt's Pizza in Vancouver, WA.

Over the next couple of years, many great events happened there, even title changes

and spectacular matches.  Not sure why exactly.  My thoughts would be that they were trying to 

establish a home location outside of Oregon in case the wrestling commission shut down the ability to have wrestling entirely.  Or, they were considering selling the Sports Arena?

Diamond Timothy Flowers 92-93 Portland Sports Arena Photo- CWUSA

"Diamond" Timothy Flowers appearing at the Portland Sports Arena.  No year 

on the photo, but since Sandy Barr is announcing and I appear to be sitting ringside, I 

assume it is 1992 or 1993. He did some appearances in those years for Sandy Barr's 

Championship Wrestling USA.

KPTV 1992 MDA Telethon with Roddy Piper, The Grappler, Don Coss, Steve Doll and Mike Winner

Just a quick snippet from one of the TV breaks from the MDA Telethon in 1992. Portland Wrestlers were involved in this every year. These guys did charity events every weekend and worked tirelessly to raise money to help those in need. Truly good human beings.

 

Portland Wrestling Program - June 1, 1992 - Don Owen Retires! + Poster and Newspaper Clippings

On May 30, in front of a very small crowd at the Portland Sports Arena,

 Don Owen announces his retirement from professional wrestling.  The end of an era!

Barry Owen will not take over for Don, but instead, the company is sold to Sandy Barr.  Sandy 

changes the name to Championship Wrestling USA and runs his first show at the Sports 

Arena on Monday, June 1, 1992.

Steve Doll & Brickhouse Brown are named the tag champions, but I believe that

The Grappler and Steve Doll are the actual champions, and maybe Brickhouse stepped 

in for the Grappler.  As far as I know, Steve Doll & The Grappler were the final tag champions

of Portland Wrestling.

May 23, 1992 - Portland Wrestling Newspaper Clipping - Tag Team Battle

May 23, 1992, clipping from the Express Weekly Advertiser. There wasn't much coverage on TV, so we had to get our match lineups from the paper. Some cable channels aired the show, but I didn't have any of them. Did you? Always looking for tape from those days! This is just one week before Don Owen retired.

Thanks to Curtis, @RetroGamingHippie3720 on YouTube, for sharing

Portland Wrestling TV Commercial to Promote April 18, 1992 - Steve Doll - You Tube Video

Steve Doll promotes a tag team title match for April 18, 1992. I don't have the footage of that night, or much of 1992 at all. I didn't have the cable channel that the show aired on in the early months of that year. Let me know if you have that or any other footage on VHS. I can digitize it for you, even if it has that white mold on it! I really just want all the Portland Wrestling footage that is hidden on old VHS to come out!
