Don Coss and Dutch Savage open the show from the Crow's Nest.
 
Coss, “Welcome to the 'House of Action'! We are fresh off the Salem Tournament and heading into another 'Portland Special'. Matt Borne may be the hottest thing in the Northwest. He defeated 'Playboy' Buddy Rose to win in Salem and couple with the tag team win last week, things are looking good for the youngster from Milwaukie. He's in the ring for our first match.”
 
Match #1
Mat Borne vs. Verne Seibert
 
Buddy Rose comes to the ring and asks Don Owen for the mike.
 
Owen, “Rose, what are you doing here? We don't want any trouble.”
 
Rose, “I don't want any trouble. I want to talk to Borne. Listen Borne, you beat me in Salem and you beat Oliver and I last week. I think it was luck. Why don't we settle this next week, in the main event?”
 
Borne takes the mike.
 
Borne, “Why wait Rose, let's do it right now!”
 
Owen, “No, we've got a whole card scheduled. We'll get the contract signed and it will be next week.”
 
Borne takes the fight to Seibert and wins with a Sunset Flip.
Winner-Matt Borne
 
Billy Jack and Stan Stasiak are in the Crow's Nest.
 
Coss, “We welcome back out tourists from Hawai'i. Billy Jack and Stan Stasiak spent a week in the Islands, and from what we hear, you were undefeated.”
 
BJ, “Stan and I beat everyone they put in front of us and we are still the Champions. We wrestled good teams, but we were better.”
 
Coss, “That's all well and good, but now that you are back, the New Zealand Sheepherders are waiting and many people think they may be the team to take your titles.”
 
Stasiak, “You would be crazy not to take those two seriously. They are wild men and they've held titles all over the world. They won't be easy to beat, but Billy and I want to keep these titles, and it won't be easy to take them for us.”
 
Coss, “This is a match that we'd all like to see. Now let's see the Champions in action.”
 
Match #2
Non-Title Match
Billy Jack and Stan Stasiak (Norhtwest Tag Team Champions) def. Tiny Anderson and Terry Adonis, Billy Jack w/Full Nelson vs. Adonis
 
“Gorgeous” Gary Royal is in the Crow's Nest.
 
Coss, “With us is a newcomer from Los Angeles, 'Gorgeous' Gary Royal. Mr. Royal, welcome to the Northwest.”
 
Royal, “You know Coss, I came here because everyone said the competition was tough, it may be, I'm not sure, but I know one thing, the women in Portland are about as ugly as I've ever seen. In LA, most of these woman would be on a leash.”
 
Coss, “O.K. There is no need for that. Tonight, you meet Kevin Kelly. He has been very successful in his short time here. His Bearhug has become a dangerous weapon.”
 
Royal, “Do you think I'm worried, I'll answer that, I'm not. He has never wrestled me and he's about to get a lesson he won't forget.”
 
Match #3
Steve Pardee def. Moondog Moretti, w/Sunset Flip
 
Kevin Kelly is in the Crow's Nest.
 
Coss, “With us is Kevin Kelly. Kevin, you heard Gary Royal earlier, he doesn't seem to worried about you.”
 
Kelly, “Let him talk. I'm here to get better and beat the best guys in the Northwest, and Gary Royal has a reputation as a great wrestler, and I'm going to beat him.”
 
Coss, “That's our main event, Royal vs. Kelly.”
 
Match #4
The Assassin w/”Playboy” Buddy Rose def. Pat McGinnis, w/Piledriver
 
Coss, “Our main event is next.”
 
Main Event, Two out of Three Falls
“Gorgeous” Gary Royal vs. Kevin Kelly
 
First Fall-Two big blonds do battle. Kelly overpowers Royal and controls the early action. Kelly whips Royal into the ropes and goes for the Bearhug. Royal fights it, but has to submit.
Winner-Kevin Kelly
 
Don Owen joins Coss and Stasiak in the Crow's Nest.
 
Coss. “Welcome to the Crow's Nest, Boss. I know you have an announcement about the 'Portland Special'”
 
Owen, “I am here to talk about our 'Portland Special'. I like to give the fans these specail shows and they have supported us so well. I've signed a double main event for that night. Both titles will be on the line. Billy Jack and 'Crusher' Stasiak will defend the tag titles against the Sheepherders and then Oliver will defend against Jimmy Snuka.”
 
Coss, “Wow! Both titles on the line!”
 
Savage, “The 'Old Fox' does it again! February 26 may be the best night in 'Portland Wrestling' history. You don't want to miss this one.”
 
Second Fall-Royal takes the fight to Kelly. He uses all the dirty tricks in his bag and pins Kelly using the ropes for leverage.
Winner-Gary Royal
 
The New Zealand Sheepherders are in the Crow's Nest.
 
Coss, “With us are the two men who will challenge for the Northwest Tag Team Titles at the 'Portland Special'. Gentlemen, you have been very impressive. February 26 is your big chance.”
 
Miller, “WOHHHHH! Bloody Don Coss, it's about time! My cousin and I have beaten everyone in our way and now the bloody Champions are next!”
 
Williams, “That's right Cousin, they can't beat us! The New Zealand flag will fly over the Northwest again!”
 
Coss, “What a show this will be, now let's go to our third fall.”
 
Third Fall-The is very little time left in the program. The third fall is a brawl, but the bell rings and time expires before we have a winner.
Result-Time Limit Draw
 
Coss, “What a match! These two must meet again. Join us next week for the 'Playboy' vs. Matt Borne and more information about the 'Portland Special'.”

Another great TV!  That Portland Special will pack em in with only those 2 matches signed!
