šļø Episode 9: āSteele, Ryan, and the Princeā
Portland Wrestling Obscurities: Forgotten, Brief, and Barely Remembered
Not every wrestler in Don Owenās House of Action left with gold, glory, or fameābut they all left with a story.
Ray Steeleā The British heel who came to Portland in the early ā70s and couldnāt buy a win, yet found a second life under a mask as Dr. X.
Paddy Ryanā A veteran workhorse who drew money for Dean Silverstoneās Superstars of Wrestling, but barely made a dent in Portland.
Prince Kumaliā A towering Guyanese talent who wrestled worldwide, but in Portland? He never found the win column.
Three men. Three short Portland runs.And three reminders that even the briefest appearances are still part of wrestlingās rich tapestry.
š Inspired by The Encyclopedia of Portland Wrestlers by Mike Rodgersāavailable now on Amazon.
