Portland Wrestling Program - March 3, 1992 - Uncle Milt's - Volcanic Action Erupts

Thanks to Curtis for yet another amazing Portland Wrestling program!

This is an era of Portland Wrestling, after we lost KPTV, when the crowds

were getting smaller, but the action was still great.

Unfortunately, there isn't much surviving TV footage from this era.

It aired only on a few smaller cable channels. I didn't have them.

I'd love to see it again.  Do you have it on VHS somewhere? 

Email me if you do! I can digitize it for you!

Uncle Milt's Pizza Menu & Event Schedule April 1992

In 1991, Portland Wrestling formed a partnership with Uncle Milt's Pizza in Vancouver, WA.

Over the next couple of years, many great events happened there, even title changes

and spectacular matches.  Not sure why exactly.  My thoughts would be that they were trying to 

establish a home location outside of Oregon in case the wrestling commission shut down the ability to have wrestling entirely.  Or, they were considering selling the Sports Arena?

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

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?
