Interviews on this show:

- Tom Peterson joined Don Owen in the nest.  The results are in....and the first two men to battle for the $500 bonus at the Portland Special will be Steve Simpson and Mike Miller!  It was a landslide call in vote for these two to meet up that night.

- Brett Sawyer said that last week was a tough night as he and Savoldi lost the belts to the Sheepherders.  He said his usual partner Tom Pritchard is going to be on the shelf for a long time thanks to the Sheepherders, but he is still right here, and ready to fight!  He said that he is enacting his rematch clause as the former champions for this Tuesday night at the Portland Special, and he and Joe Savoldi will take the belts back from the Sheepherders!

- Billy Jack Haynes is ready to get Oliver in the cage so he can finally take back the PNW title, and with the cage there, that means no interference, so it's just them one on one that night, and he will show Oliver who the real man is around here.

- The Sheepherders said that they are just getting started!  Winning the belts is good, but they're also here to hurt people, and they'll finish the job they started on the pretty boys Tuesday night.  Pritchard was the first to go, and next is Sawyer!  Oh tell your mother!

- PNW Champion Rip Oliver said that Billy Jerk Haynes is making a mistake climbing into a cage with him.  He said it very well could be the end of his career if he is foolish enough to go through with it.  

- Don Owen ran down the card for Tuesday night's Portland Special here at the Portland Sports Arena.  He also said that his office received a letter this week from "Playboy" Buddy Rose, who is requesting live interview time on the Portland Special.

Special Interview with "Playboy" Buddy Rose

Great show! You can't beat a good old "Portland Special". You have to wonder what Rose is up to, most likely no good.

[Kimmel]

I like the team of Joe Savoldi and Brett Sawyer. Course I may be one of the few people in the world that actually lived Savoldi at all.

Rose wanted a special interview means he has something up his sleeve and that can never be good news for the wrestlers in PNW.

The Cage Match between Billy Jack Haynes and Rip Oliver should pack them in.

Can't wait to read the Portland Special!

Good stuff. Nice seeing some of the "usual suspects" associated with the area, and you have some of the good ones to work with. Looking forward to the Special with Buddy getting some mic time. Oliver and Haynes in a cage will be a good one. No interference, just one on one.

The Kiwis and The Battens would have made a good TV match. Can't wait until I get to the Haynes/Oliver cage match! Sawyer has a bit more intensity than I remember.

Good show.
