Portland Wrestling June 30, 1984

This is part of my new found early 1980's Portland Wrestling footage. In all, I have 46 DVDs of this era. By the end of this match, Tom Pritchard is a bloody mess. His post match interview is one of the bloodiest I can remember in the long history of "Portland Wrestling." For the complete list of my 1980's footage, please email me at musicguy64@yahoo.com

@CadillacL Yes, I have quite a bit more of Pritchard in Portland from 1984-early 1985....just don't have it on You Tube.

How can you bust a gusher with a flimsy elbow pad? I know its the blade but in kayfabe world in doesn't look legit. LOL

[musicguy64]

@VolumedMusicMan The gimmick was that the elbow pad was "loaded".... textbook kayfabe stuff.

I don't like todays wrestling. Back in the days wrestling had this fantastic simple charme. Thanks for uploading all those Vidoes, musicguy.

@thinApe My pleasure. If you ever find yourself wanting to purchase any Portland DVDs, let me know. I have the largest collection of anybody of the real thing!

Brett Sawyer had the same thing happen to him a couple of years earlier when he and Steve Pardee dropped the tag belts to Oliver and the Assassin.

Growing up in West Linn during the eighties, staying up late to watch taped delayed Portland Wrestling with Tom Peterson; did not get any better n' that!!

What I loved most about this video is that it shows the great vibe that the scene had. Notice how at the end of the match, the ring is swarmed by fans. That was a normal happening in PDX. And how lifeless Don Owens always was when he talked. and the "hippie" ref doing his slow count for everyone, putting his hands under the shoulderblades to verify they were pinned. Good stuff.

Now I'm off to wake up with a Tom Peterson haircut. I'm not a man, I'm a putting green.

I was waiting for a Tom Peterson commercial.

Pritchard probably bladed himself when he was thrown out of the ring. I actually saw Matt Bourne blade himself at the Portland Sports Arena. Love Portland Wrestling; what a great promotion. That's the great Stan Stasiak doing the in-ring interview.
