Northwest Canadian Wrestling News - Wrestling World Article - 1988?

Most wrestling magazines covered very little Portland Wrestling, but I always liked
to pick up magazines with articles that included Portland wrestlers.  This article focuses on 
what is happening in Canadian wrestling at the time but mentions many current(at the time), and future Portland Wrestlers.

Another great program from the collection of Matt Merz.
Some fantastic signatures on this one as well: Bruiser Brian, 
Tony Borne, Chad Manning, and Tony Kozina
Matt has a fantastic Facebook group called Portland Wrestling

and has 3,600 videos of local wrestling on his YouTube channel Ring of Fire Wrestling, including some great documentaries about Portland Wrestling.

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.

Championship Wrestling USA - October 8, 1995 - Bagley Center - Vancouver, WA - Tag Team Main Event!

Sandy Barr had quite a few issues with the Oregon Boxing and Wrestling Commission 
and eventually moved his shows to Vancouver.  I got on the mailing list and received these flyers weekly.  I didn't go to very many matches at the Bagley Center, unfortunately.
