Portland Wrestling Program - August 1, 1981- Borne & Regal v Rose & Oliver in Tag Team Action

This is just the cover and card lineup from this program I found on eBay.

 

Saturday, December 22, 1979 ~ Portland Wrestling Program - Portland Sports Arena

I think this is the oldest program in my collection.  Well, it belongs to @classicportlandwrestling now! 

But I picked this one up at a yard sale in a scrapbook with the program from 1981 as well.  I've been to so many yard sales and estate sales, I'm kind of surprised that I haven't found more Portland Wrestling ephemera over the years.  I have nearly 50 programs scanned at this point. I have organized the links for easy viewing on this page, Portland Wrestling Programs.

 

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!

It'a All about the Lane County Fairgrounds in 1981 & 1982

It's all about the Lane County Fairgrounds in 1981 and 1982.  Elton Owen is promoting in Eugene at this time and the cards seem pretty great!  I don't have a date on the two results mini articles, but they fit in there somehow.

1981

I wonder who the new faces where?

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.
