1940's Northwest Wrestling Posters - Hood River, Oregon

I came across an estate sale that had these posters for sale. 

They wanted $125 each for them!  

They wouldn't budge on that price, so they stayed there.

I hope they didn't end up in a landfill!

I was able to save a few photos of them.  They had about 15 more.

I don't think I've heard of any of these wrestlers.

Lost Champions of Portland Wrestling ~ VIDEO

Great video on some of the original Champions of Portland Wrestling.  Some interesting information and great photos.  All before my time.  I wish I knew more about this history, or could see video of it. Unfortunately, archives were not kept and most matches pre-VCR days are gone forever.

You can also follow the markers of this video, Portland Wrestling,  on Facebook.
Also head over to YouTube and subscribe as they have new videos about Portland Wrestling periodically.
