📺🍿 REMEMBER WHEN WRESTLING FELT LIKE THIS?

The television clicks on. The popcorn is popping. A cold soda is opened. And Portland Wrestling is back on the screen.

We're taking a trip back to October 21, 1989, when “Beetlejuice” Art Barr challenged Scotty the Body for the Pacific Northwest Heavyweight Championship at the Portland Sports Arena.

Eight minutes of vintage wrestling, wrapped in a little atmosphere from another time.

Turn up the volume, settle in, and enjoy a piece of wrestling history.

What are your favorite memories of watching wrestling growing up? 👇
