1991 KPTV MDA Telethon w/Roddy Piper Steve Doll Bart Sawyer John Rambo Grappler


 Another year, 1991, of Portland Wrestlers volunteering their time for the MDA Telethon.

If you called in and pledged at least $15, you could talk to the wrestler of your choice. I called in, and guess who I wanted to talk to? Steve Doll, of course. I waited about 30 minutes to talk to him. When I finally did, I was so excited! When I told him who I was, he laughed and said, "You waited half an hour to talk to me on the phone? Aren't you coming to the arena tonight?" I said, "Sure, but I've never talked to you on the phone before!" That made him laugh. I told him that I appreciated that he was always willing to give his time to help good causes. He said he was always happy to help in any way he could, thanked me for the donation, and said he'd see me tonight. It was a short conversation, but I got to talk to him on the phone!!!😀

KPTV 1992 MDA Telethon with Roddy Piper, The Grappler, Don Coss, Steve Doll and Mike Winner

Just a quick snippet from one of the TV breaks from the MDA Telethon in 1992. Portland Wrestlers were involved in this every year. These guys did charity events every weekend and worked tirelessly to raise money to help those in need. Truly good human beings.
