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.

Portland Wrestling Program - June 1, 1992 - Don Owen Retires! + Poster and Newspaper Clippings

On May 30, in front of a very small crowd at the Portland Sports Arena,
 Don Owen announces his retirement from professional wrestling.  The end of an era!
Barry Owen will not take over for Don, but instead, the company is sold to Sandy Barr.  Sandy 
changes the name to Championship Wrestling USA and runs his first show at the Sports 
Arena on Monday, June 1, 1992.

Steve Doll & Brickhouse Brown are named the tag champions, but I believe that
The Grappler and Steve Doll are the actual champions, and maybe Brickhouse stepped 
in for the Grappler.  As far as I know, Steve Doll & The Grappler were the final tag champions
of Portland Wrestling.  

Thanks to Curtis, @RetroGamingHippie3720 on YouTube, for sharing 
this awesome program!

Promo Poster - Monday, June 1, 1992 - TV Taping at the Portland Sports Arena

A great item from the Curtis collection!

This poster raises some questions.  As far as I know, Steve Doll & The Grappler were 
the final Portland Wrestling tag team champs in May of 1992 when Don Owen retired.
I can't find any records of other tag champs before 1993 for Championship Wrestling USA.
Who are the champs here?

This Week In Portland Wrestling History - 3/13/1992 Eugene Card Clipping

From the Eugene Register Guard, March 13, 1992.
Friday nights in Eugene were a staple in Portland Wrestling.
I hear that the dressing room was so small that only a few guys could change
at one time, and everyone else would have to sit in folding chairs in the hallway.
