I know it was a spinoff called capital wrestling filmed in salem at the armory. It was shown on some uhf channel back then and they used the portland roster... believe me I am somewhat of a historian on portland wrestling
You are correct! I remember that show. I was a Milwaukie Elk with Tough Tony Borne and once helped Luke Brown tear down the ring after a show with Rip Oliver and The Assassin taking on Matt Borne and Jimmy Affee the flying Samoan. I was a fellow patient of the same Chiropractic doctor as Mean Mike Miller and have met and talked to Mean Mike. One of my best friends used to work as a bouncer with Mean Mike Miller and Billy Jack Haynes.
ed wiskoski was in the central states area (kcmo)back in the 70s. he was a face sometimes but mostly a cool heel. he also was in springfield mo wrestling managed by skandar akbar. one time he took a belt to a young ricky morton.
Back when wrestling was a lot more fun to watch. Nowadays it's all just too much with all that valet and showbiz crap. Every Saturday night it was Big Time Wrestling at my house.
The Colonel looks good in red.

I always wanted to see Mega Maharishi footage. The interviewer was desperately trying not to laugh.
