PCW 1995 Photos & Poster - What Happened to Pacific Championship Wrestling?

In February of 1994, Richard Small debuted Pacific Championship Wrestling (PCW).  Richard was the owner of the Portland Rage roller hockey team. The matches were held at the Mount Scott Community Center in SE Portland.  They got a TV deal, and there was one televised event.  Richard Small was a religious man who shared his faith inside the evening's programs.  It is believed that the promoter found that the world of wrestling didn't fit into his religious worldview and decided to end the promotion after barely a month.  An event had been announced for March 24, 1995, at the Lung Fung Event Center that would feature Southern Rocker Steve Doll, who was still under contract with the WWF at the time.  This event was cancelled.  On the night of the event, a sign was displayed in the parking lot that read, "No Wrestling Tonight."  

It was a fun promotion featuring many of our favorites. 

 It's too bad it didn't last.

I mean, at least ONE more week!!! 😭

A New Camera For Christmas - 1987

For Christmas in 1987, I got a Camera and film, plus tickets to the Christmas Extravaganza at the Sports Arena. A 110 camera and maybe 6 rolls of film. For quite some time, I had been wanting to take pictures at wrestling, and was super excited to finally get the chance. Over the years, I took thousands of photos of every Portland wrestler. Mostly Steve Doll, to be honest, but sometimes the other guys too! 😂 A cheap camera, bad batteries, and low-quality film often meant that the pictures didn't come out great, or at all. But sometimes I got lucky and captured something great. The first photo is my first photo with Steve Doll, December 26, 1987.

One of my favorite Southern Rockers photos.

Portland Championship Wrestling Program - May 19, 2000 - Bart Sawyer & Billy Two Eagles In A Hair Match!

Bart Sawyer lost the hair match to Billy Two Eagles.

Bart was a heel at this point, and everyone wanted to see him get his head shaved!

After the match, while he was "knocked out," people got to get up in the ring

and take a Polaroid with Bart with a shaved head.  Tons of people came up to get the picture. 

I did too!  I leaned over to him and said that this was a genius idea!  

He couldn't help but smile.  😁

I can't seem to find that picture.
