    Such a well-told story. Rose and Wiskowski want no part of the fan favorites so they keep forcing Bass into the fray. Meanwhile, one miscommunication after another between the three heels, until after the second hall, things boil over. Bass gets beaten down and bleeds buckets, only to come back after the match, bandaged, furious, and out for blood. Bass challenges Rose to a singles match the next week that apparently has been lost to the sands of time, but we do get their rematch the week following. Check out my full review of this match and Portland footage from October of 1977 here.

    I've been watching all the available Portland footage I can find for a few months and writing reviews, and this is the first great match I encountered. The heat and the hatred are tremendous, and the story is simple but effective: Rose keeps breaking the arms of other wrestlers in the territory, many of them Mayne's friends. Mayne is out for revenge. Both Rose and Mayne take heedless bumps in general and they definitely do here. Blood is spilled, along with a little vomit, as Mayne seeks to keep his bow to break Rose's arm. This is a great match well worth seeking out in full. You can read my full review here.

    Interesting you've got to go all the way back to 1977 to find a refreshing take on the notion of a special referee. The interplay between Boyd and Rose is fantastic, well several well-executed bits of humor. Very Good tier for me. I reviewed this match, and the rematch between Rose and Youngblood, in an installment of my "From the Crow's Nest" rewatch of Portland wrestling over at In Moorehouse Wrestling.

    Lawler is in his element as a heel after such a long time as the Memphis good guy but this aged really poorly for me due to the racism, and I say that as someone who ranks Jim Duggan in a gorilla suit as one of the peak wrestling angles ever.

    The Luger-Vader split felt so one-sided and decisive... more like Vader getting written out of the territory to me than setting up a feud. The monster needs to bounce back in a big way. I echo those enjoying the slow planting of the seeds to get the Steiners teaming, and the progression of Hot Stuff Inc.

    Really building to something special with this show. Dusty appears to have built an unstoppable team to face Race's crew. Meanwhile, as Steamboat upholds his word and gives Savage a shot at the title, I can't help but wonder if Macho Man doesn't have some kind of double cross planned.

    WCCW would like to sign Mike George to its open roster spot, and add Mad Maxine in the second manager slot.

    WCCW would like to announce two trades Koko Ware and Curtis Hughes have been sent to Mid-South/Memphis in return for Al Perex and Iceman Parsons, retroactive to May 13. Mongolian Stomper has been dealt to Stampede in exchange for Stampede's first-round pick in the upcoming 1989 Rookie Draft

    Spladoni and I go way back in this game and I always enjoyed his stuff quite a bit. This AWA roster is a mixture of grizzled vets and young rising talent, reminding me of the true AWA during the same period. Stay away from any breakfast cereal gimmick-related matches, and things here should remain on point!

    That is some stacked lineups for Seattle... been awhile clearly since I have been reading here, but the standard for PCW remains consistent and high all the way around. Also, please tell me Footloose is going to start using the actual song for their entrance music? Maybe take up the cause of outlawed dancing in a small town? Eh? Ehhhh?

    WCW would have been way ahead of the curve and having some fantastic matches with the lucha guys, and now Muta, Tiger Mask II & Azure-don't-call-him-Ultimo Dragon coming in... The title change caught me by surprise. Good stuff here.
  12. Wahoos Leg
    Going to use David Manning and Bronko Lubich as my WCCW referees, as the universe intends...
  13. Wahoos Leg
    WCCW has acquired Chris Adams from the AWA for future considerations, including an agreement that will see select WCCW wrestlers appearing at select AWA events. Fred Ottman has been released.
  14. Wahoos Leg
    WCCW would like to announce a trade with WCW... Jimmy Snuka and Koko Ware for Paul Roma & Honkytonk Man Then a number of WCW stars have signed handshake agreements to work for World Class throughout 1988
