Pacific Northwest Discussion

I tried also to confirm the dates in my file as well, but some may still be incorrect. I know they typically ran on Saturday's for TV, then Tuesday's every now and then.
Was also using WrestlingData and the online papers to confirm a lot of blank city information for the Northwest Titles from the 50's to the 70's, to help Hisa out with his Wrestling-Titles site. I was finding that many of his dates were off, or the champions weren't champions at the time. But, that goes back to the Wrestling Title history books that were printed back in the 90's. I wish I still kept those but sadly had to part with them several years back. I have a lot of it updated in my files, just haven't sent it to him yet.

For the city of Portland, Saturday's were when TV was taped and then depending on how hot business was they would run Tuesday specials.

Prior to Don Owen purchasing the Portland Sports Arena in October of 1968, Don ran the Portland Armory every Friday and Monday. They would also run Monday's at the Labor Temple.
During the 1960's Don would occasionally run big shows in Portland at the 12,000 seat Memorial Coliseum. Between the closure of the Portland Armory and moving into the Portland Sports Arena, Don would also use the Convention Hall that was a small building located at the Memorial Coliseum.
