Northwest Wrestle-Media Vol.1 No. 1 - June 1986

I finally got my hands on another issue of Wrestle-Media thanks to 

my friend Kerby!  Check out his ebay store ClassicPortlandWrestling for awesome vintage Portland Wrestling collectibles!

He also has a shop, where he sells reprints of some 

amazing Portland Wrestling merch.

And shares his collection on Instagram @classicportlandwrestling

This was much too big to fit on my scanner, so I had to improvise and join 

the pages together later.  That's why they look a little funny and may have lost 

a few words or parts of an image.

Wrestling Spectacular III - May 21, 1986? - Seattle Center Arena - Newspaper Clipping

I think this is 1986. Correct me if I am wrong.

Looks like a fun card.

Rocky "Soulman" Johnson in attendance. 

Brady Boone and Coco Samoa seem like an odd pair.

I wonder what the other bouts are?

April-May 1986 Seattle Center Arena event ~ Clipping

Not sure if these are the results of the last clipping.

It looks like 548 people attended this event, which isn't a lot of people in the Seattle Center Arena. But Jimmy "Superfly" Snuka will be a the next event, so you can be sure there were more butts in the seats!

Billy Jack Haynes Returns to Seattle Arena 1986 ~ Clipping

1986 seems about right for this event or Extravaganza!  That was always the Owens word for a big event. 

Brady Boone has a similar look to Billy Jack, with the dark hair and beard.  He was a smaller guy, but also had a similar build and so they claimed he was Billy Jack's cousin.  As I recall he wasn't here for very long, and I am not sure about his career trajectory after the Northwest.
