I miss this type of wrestling

Any more classic matches...keep them coming! 👍How I miss the house of action.. Lol.

Don Owens. That's what missing from wrestling these days. Owens never screwed over anyone that wrestled for him. He wanted to put on a good show for the fans. And he made sure the wrestlers were paid what he promised them.

Don Owen not Owens

[@edwells4769]

Psychology is missing. There is no point to wrestling these days, er, "Sports Entertainment". Nothing they do makes any sense

"Now-we go to school" WHOO!

A young Chris Adams. A rare treat. Nice promo. We never seen this in San Francisco.

Flair threw Sawyer over the top rope. Isn't that a DQ? I thought that was an NWA rule.

Who's the ref??? Did he ref all night or was it a ref specifically set to work the title match??? I've never seen the guy before. But this was just shortly before I came into Portland Wrestling as a kid...

[@andrewyanez5285]

The Ref is Luke Brown. Who is also Dutch Savage's brother

[@VolumedMusicMan]

Did you guys ever see Bronco Lubich or Sonny Myers? Slow counting refs!

Three days before Frank Bonnema died.
