Northwest Wrestling Bulletin - First Issue - October 1983

Fun insights into Portland Wrestling in 1983.

I love the mini feature on Miss Irene Dial, also known as Ringside Rosie.

This is from the collection of Retro Gaming Hippie.  Check out his awesome YouTube 

channel about his fun, nostalgic 80's and wrestling finds.  Thanks to him for trusting me

with some great finds!  If you have some photos, programs, or other fun Northwest 

Wrestling memorabilia to share, email me sunyday76@aol.com.

This is the Northwest Wrestling Bulletin.  I'm not sure how many of these were

made, but it is an amazing piece of Northwest Wrestling history.

This will be included on the Wrestle-Media page.

Check out those too!

Portland Wrestling Program - June 13, 1987 - We Welcome New Comer STEVE DOLL!

This is a re-share of a post I made earlier this year.

1986 and early 1987 were lean times for Portland Wrestling, to be honest.

The main event for this show is Mark Young & Art Barr VS Art Crews & Joey Jackson.

I recently heard someone say that things really started to turn around in mid-1987, and 

that was attributed to the Grappler.  He was a great heel, and when he started booking 

things really did turn a corner. But I have some different ideas about what might have kicked 

off that change. Steve Doll!  He came to the Northwest from World Class in June. He was put together to team with Scott Peterson in July, and it was on from there.  

It did not matter who they were up against; the crowd was CRAZY for the Southern Rockers.
