NWWA CARD #1
PORTLAND SPORTS ARENA
1. Steve 'Crusher' Casey v Mike Sharpe: The sensation from Ireland made short work of Canada's Strongest Athlete with the Kilarmy Flip.
2. The Andersons v The Osirian Portal: The brothers seemed mildly annoyed with the antics of the "Egyptian" imports and wasted little time in making Ophidian tap to a standing arm bar.
3. The Samoans and Jimmy Snuka v The All Night Express and Rob Van Dam: This match quickly degenerated to an uncontrollable pier-six brawl, both in and out of the ring. The referee called for the double DQ as security scrambled to separate these 6 men.
4. The New Age Outlaws v BADD Company: A fantastic display of tag team excellence between both teams. The NAO proved just a bit more underhanded and Billy Gunn took advantage of a Road Dogg low blow on Tanaka to set up the Famouser.
5. Gus Sonnenberg v Lars Anderson: It might have taken 3, but the flying tackle spelled the end of the night for the 3rd Anderson.
6. MAIN EVENT: Lonnie Mayne v Kevin Von Erich: A great back and forth match between these 2 athletes unfortunately goes the distance and after 20 minutes the referee announces a draw.

NWWA CARD #2
PORTLAND SPORTS ARENA
1. Steve 'Crusher' Casey v Lars Anderson: Ireland's favorite son continues to impress with a hard fought victory over Lars Anderson. Back and forth action went to the floor briefly, but Casey kept it together and returned it to the ring where the Kilarmy Flip spelled the end of Lars' night.
2. Justin Credible v Timber: "The NEW Face of Hardcore" won a hard-fought victory over the Insane Lumberjack. Several trips to the floor had the referee close to dq'ing both men on several occasions, but in the end, That's Incredible brought Justin the win.
3. The Samoans and Jimmy Snuka v The All-Night Express and Rob Van Dam: Another brutal double dq between these 2 teams had security and wrestlers from the back trying to separate and control this maelstrom of violence. These 6 men left it all on the floor and it was announced a no dq rematch for the following week's show.
4. Ken Patera v Brutus Beefcake: The Olympic Strongman debuted in strong fashion, sending the Barber back to an early refresher class at the beauty shoppe. A swinging full nelson on the heels of a series of clotheslines and slams were enough to get Mr Patera the "W"
5. The Andersons v BADD Company: Ole and Gene seemed, if possible, even more pissed off than last week, again making short work of their opponents with a standing armbar on Paul Diamond.
6. Gus Sonnenberg v Curt Hennig: What began as a clinic in technical wrestling took an ugly turn when Hennig took it outside the ring, garnering a dq for his use of the steel steps..

This fed looks really cool and a must read for me.  When I was a kid, I actually went to PNW shows both in Washington state and in the Portland, Oregon area. Looking forward to more results! |

That is awesome! I was raised in the area, so probably saw 20-50 live shows in my time. High school gymnasiums, National Guard armories... man i loved those small venues. And seeing the NWA World champs come touring through in my tiny little podunk neck of the woods... those were the best damned times. What years did you get to see them and who was wrestling? I followed from the early 80's til it folded in 92 (well, honestly late 91, because when it lost it's TV it was pretty m much just limping on for another few months) As I grew up (well, as I aged anyways, lol) I also started to learn more about its history and researched the older and founding stars more, making my rather obsessive passion for all things PNW more well rounded, lol... ahhhh, any who, thanx for letting an old timer prattle and reminisce... |

Enjoying the PNW action. While I never got to see a live show, used to watch on youtube some of the old shows and really enjoyed it especially Buddy Rose and his antics.

Buddy Rose was a hugely under appreciated talent. Just as capable of being your lead face as your lead heel. His feud with Piper was one of the most dynamic and well played angles I have seen. His in ring work (before his weight became a huge issue) was second too none, his work on the mic was years ahead of its time and his general charisma could work a crowd like few others. I had the amazing opportunity to sit with Buddy and Ed Wiskowski on several occasions at a local little dive restaurant locally where the wrestlers would eat after (I was well liked among several of the rule breakers because my friends and I would cheer for the heels). Got to hear so many great stories (and Ed and Buddy giving each other rations of shit was a fantastic side note, lol). The sheer talent that passed through those doors... man, a who's who of wrestling in the 70's 80's and early 90's |

I saw a few PNW shows during the late 1980s and early 1990s. Some of the wrestlers I remember seeing at some of those shows were Buddy Rose, Bart Sawyer, Scotty the Body, The Bruise Brothers (Ron and Don Harris,) The Southern Rockers (Steve Doll and Scott Peterson,) The Grappler, Moondog Moretti, Mike Golden, and John Rambo. I wish that the Jim Cornette DVD series Back to the Territories would make a DVD about PNW. |
