Savage: PBS documentary Re: '70s Portland Wrestling (Part 3)

Mainly Dutch Savage's Coal Miner's Glove match with The Iron Sheik and the events surrounding it.

[@DomenicDee]

Iron Sheik sure knew how to get the crowd riled up! Great stuff.

I'll always remember Frank Bonnemma doing interviews up in the Crowsnest on Big Time Wresling. Savage ,Snuka,Royal Kangaroos,Ventura,Ramos, and Dandy Sandy Barr as your referee. Thanks for posting this.

This is what Vince mcmahon has taken away from wrestling and wrestling ,with his sports entertainment,as a child in the 80s ,born in 1976.not one time ,did my father take me to see "Sports entertainment" however we went to see Wrasslin ,on a regular basis

[@mda1218]

Iron Sheik was one specimen of manhood… better technical fighter than Savage, but that hard right of Dutch's softened any opponent up if delivered in soft place: good nutt buster at 3:08 and rocket to the gut at 7:42: turned the Iron into jello….

00:10 "I've been here when he broke a mans jaw in three places". Seems legit since she has pictures to PROVE it, lol. This was back when wrestling was great and Portland had some great talent. Savage, Ventura, Ramos, Shieky Baby, Snuka, Wiskowski, Von Steigers, Otes, Eagles and on and on. I miss Portland Wrestling!

this looks to be 1978 or9. this was near the end of dutchs career. apparently, he ended the career of sky hi morse in a vancouver cage match about then. i remember dutch with a full head of hair in the early 70s. sandor kovacs would never give him the pacific coast title because of the alcohol problem. i remember bloodbaths with dutch against mark lewin, s.little bear and abby. i think dutch was better as a heel.

[@sonofbukowski]

I don't think Sheiky even said "I will make you humble !" in that promo
