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 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.  

Thanks to Curtis, @RetroGamingHippie3720 on YouTube, for sharing 
this awesome program!

Promo Poster - Monday, June 1, 1992 - TV Taping at the Portland Sports Arena

A great item from the Curtis collection!

This poster raises some questions.  As far as I know, Steve Doll & The Grappler were 
the final Portland Wrestling tag team champs in May of 1992 when Don Owen retired.
I can't find any records of other tag champs before 1993 for Championship Wrestling USA.
Who are the champs here?

This Week In Portland Wrestling History - 3/13/1992 Eugene Card Clipping

From the Eugene Register Guard, March 13, 1992.
Friday nights in Eugene were a staple in Portland Wrestling.
I hear that the dressing room was so small that only a few guys could change
at one time, and everyone else would have to sit in folding chairs in the hallway.

Portland Wrestling Newspaper Clipping - February 1, 1992

In late '91 we started seeing ads in the Express Weekly Advertiser Newspaper.
It was a good way to let people know the upcoming schedule after KPTV 
stopped airing the show.

Portland Wrestling Program - January 4, 1992 - "Demolition" Crush Out To Wreck Ron Harris


Even though it says 1991 on the back, it is actually from 1992.
This is the first Saturday since we lost TV.  I am sure I went this week, but I 
no longer had the program.  I picked this up last week in a local antique mall along with one other program I didn't have.  I'm always looking to add to the collection.
