🎙️ Episode 7 – Ghosts and Guesswork: Nelson, McDonald, and Pavich
Welcome back to One Match Wonders, where the names are obscure, the appearances are brief, but the stories go deep.
In this episode, we chase the shadows of three mysterious figures from Portland Wrestling's archives—each stepping into the Sports Arena just once, but leaving behind questions and legacy:
Was Gary Nelson actually a young Gary Young on his way to Texas stardom?
Did Danno McDonald notch one last win in Portland after decades as a Don Owen loyalist?
And did John Pavich, who supposedly retired in 1964, reappear 11 years later to face a young Bob Remus—better known as Sgt. Slaughter?
Join us as we separate fact from folklore and try to make sense of the uncertain, the misprinted, and the almost forgotten.
