Ringside in Rose City – Episode 47: We Haven't Mentioned These Guys Yet – Part 2

<p><strong>Ringside in Rose City – Episode 47: We Haven&#39;t Mentioned These Guys Yet – Part 2</strong></p><p>There are the legends everybody remembers—and then there are the wrestlers whose names can suddenly unlock a memory you haven&#39;t thought about in fifty years.</p><p>This week, Frank Culbertson and Portland wrestling historian Mike Rodgers pick up the conversation that became too big for one episode. <em>We Haven&#39;t Mentioned These Guys Yet – Part 2</em> digs even deeper into the wrestlers who passed through Portland—some for only a handful of matches, others for longer runs, and more than a few who went on to fascinating careers elsewhere.</p><p>Among the stories are <strong>Bill Watts</strong>, who wrestled exactly one Portland match before becoming one of wrestling&#39;s legendary promoters; <strong>Prince Kumali</strong>, whose Northwest appearances were his only North American wrestling run; <strong>Randy Morse</strong>, the big man who toured Japan and survived a frightening accident at the Portland Sports Arena; and <strong>Sailor White</strong>, who eventually found championship success in the WWF as one of the Moondogs.</p><p>Mike also makes the case for one of Portland Wrestling&#39;s great missed opportunities—masked babyface <strong> Super Hawk</strong>, a talented luchador with an impressive career in Mexico who Mike believes could have become something special if Don Owen had given him a bigger push. The conversation also revisits <strong>Super Ninja</strong>, <strong>The White Avenger</strong>, <strong>Clay Spencer</strong>, and the wonderfully ridiculous story of <strong>Terry Gibbs</strong> losing a Loser Leaves Town match... only to return later that very night under a mask as <strong>The Georgia Jaw Jacker</strong>.</p><p>Then it&#39;s back to wrestling&#39;s earlier years with <strong>Luis Martinez</strong>, <strong>Larry Chaney</strong>, and <strong>Tarzan Tyler</strong>, as Frank and Mike uncover stories of championships, friendships, tragedy, unusual gimmicks, and even a possible historical connection to the loaded boot that would eventually become synonymous with The Grappler.</p><p>And of course, <strong>Card Shark</strong> returns. Lisa deals Mike three mystery wrestling cards, including a loaded 1962 Los Angeles card and a 1977 Detroit lineup. But the real surprise comes with the final card: a 1989 Pacific Coast Championship Wrestling show in Oregon City that just happened to feature a young announcer named <strong>Frank Culbertson</strong> behind the microphone. Somehow, Mike fails to recognize the most important wrestling card in human history. Lisa, meanwhile, just keeps dancing.</p><p>It&#39;s an episode built around one of the things that makes wrestling history so much fun: <strong>not every wrestler becomes a legend, but every wrestler adds another page to the story.</strong> And on <em>Ringside in Rose City</em>, Frank and Mike believe every page is worth reading.</p><p>Hosted by Frank Culbertson and Portland wrestling historian Mike Rodgers.</p><p><strong>One ring. One city. A thousand stories.</strong></p><p>New episodes of <em>Ringside in Rose City</em> drop every Friday on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and YouTube.</p><p></p>
