Some Great Stuff From the Scan Pile.......

 

I have been working for quite a while on scanning all of my old photos.

I am really nearing the end.  The scan pile has produced some real gems lately.

I have lots of other projects to work on, and so much more to share, but it's kinda 

sad that I'm almost all the way through.

Here are a few of the fun ones I've found lately.

Portland Wrestling Photo - Scotty The Body & Big Juice Jeff Warner - 4/23/1990

Another one of those funny photos from the scan pile with a bunch of stuff going on! Jeff Warner (Big Juice) is next to the ring with a be-geused little fan. Scotty the Body seems to be in a stare-down with a toddler that someone is holding up. And the guy in the bottom right corner is looking at me like I'm a crazy person for taking a picture of all of this! April 23, 1990.

 

Portland Wrestling TV - 12/1/1990 - Bunkhouse Battle Royal

 Apparently, I got home from the Sports Arena pretty late on December 1, 1990.
I only recorded the last 8 minutes, and they went off the air before the battle royal was over!

This one is kind of crazy, starting with milk and cereal everywhere and then everyone slipping and sliding the rest of the match!

Portland Wrestling Poster - September 17, 1989 - Oregon City High School Gym - Tag Team Title Match!

 

A couple of photos from that night!

Portland Wrestling Match - 10/28/89 - Steve Doll v Brian Adams - One of my favorite matches!

This is one of my all-time favorite matches. It's probably not anyone else's favorite, but it is mine. From Brian pretending to vomit when Steve was coming to the ring, Steve's matador routine, the butt shaking that the crowd loved, and the secret drop kick. All fun! I remember seeing this match at the Sports Arena and thinking that Steve and Brian were probably having so much fun out there. They were good friends and neighbors. They lived in the same apartment complex. They often rode together and went to the gym together. Years later, they even became brothers-in-law when Steve married Brian's wife's sister. I've heard stories about Brian not wanting to stay at Steve's house in Hendersonville, TN because he thought it was haunted!
