The Southern Rockers & Bill Prescott In The Crow's Nest 1989

The Southern Rockers and Bill Prescott in the crow's nest. 1989. Most likely discussing their upcoming promo. I like shots like this that show a bit more of the Sports Arena. I wish I would have used an entire roll of film to just walk around the Sports Arena and take photos at every angle. We just never think of stuff like that at the time. It feels like it will last forever, and why would we ever need or want that? Plus, film was limited, and each click had to count. I can't even imagine having the unlimited use of a cell phone back then. I'd probably have 10 million photos!

 

Get A Picture of The Grappler's Face Win A Date With The Southern Rockers!

In 1989, KGON radio did a promotion with one of their DJs, Bill Prescott.  Bill and the 

Southern Rockers announced a contest.  If you could get a photo of the Grappler without his 

mask on, you could win a date with Steve Doll & Scott Peterson to ride in a Limo and go

see Bon Jovi in concert.  Oh boy, did I try!  Keep in mind that I was 13, so what I could do was 

limited.  I did convince my mom to follow him home a few Saturday nights, but he didn't go home.

He went directly to the club, as many wrestlers did on Saturday nights.  They often went to the 

Cattle Company on McLoughlin in Milwaukie.  Of course, we couldn't follow him in there, but my mom followed him in one night and he never took off the mask!! DAMMIT!!

At the Portland Wrestling Expo in February, 

I asked him about the gimmick, and he said that it was Roddy

Piper's idea and that it really got out of hand.  People would follow him when his family was in the car and come up to his house and take pictures in the windows to try and get him.  I don't think 

they really thought that whole thing through!  

Another girl named Jody won the contest.  Ugh!  

I wanted to win so bad!!  

I did go to the concert, but not with Steve Doll. 🤪
