More Articles from the Lane County Fair Grounds in the Early 80's. FRIDAY NIGHT!

Some more little articles from the Lane County Fairgrounds in the Early 80's.  

Some don't have dates. Check out You Tube for a bunch of fun videos from this time period.

I never got to see matches out at the Fairgrounds.  But, it seems like they had some great cards!

11-Man Over The Top Battle Royal $3,000 Purse ~ 1982 Clipping

Big 11 man over the top battle royal in Tacoma in 1982.
Not sure why they are fighting over a purse?

That purse is selling for $3,000, so maybe they will re-sell it on ebay?

Ha!  Looks like a great match with some future legends on the card!

1982 Match Results Articles ~ Newspaper Clippings

None of these are dated, but 1982 seems to be the right year for all of these guys to be here, together, at the same time.

April 15, 1982, Salem Grand Theater ~ Clipping

Whoa!  This seems like quite the event!  

Ric Flair versus Rocky Johnson!

Dizzy Hogan, who later became Brutus Beefcake in the WWF and Tommy Rogers of the Fantastics fame. 

Some of the best wrestling talent passed through the Northwest at one point or antoher.

8-Man Tag - February 18, 1982 - Clipping

Pro Wrestling Live at the Salem Grand Theater 1982 - Clipping

I only ever went to wrestling one time in Salem, at the Armory.  I don't know why we didn't go there
more often.  It's not so far, but as a kid it seemed forever away.  Even though we would go to some other towns in the summer, we only went to Salem that one time.
