A Big Hello to all WOO Fans! 🥳🥳🥳 WOO!
In my review of Raven's interview today, he talks about Portland. This is a slight change from the usual wrestlers he talks about and it focuses on wrestling in territories instead. To those of us (especially international fans) who watch from the comfort of home on a TV, we might not quite realise how intimately wrestling is actually connected to the various territories.
Today's interview is slightly longer than the past few days, clocking in at almost 5 minutes too! Here's a quick point form summary with the keynotes of the interview for those readers who are less inclined to watch YouTube.
Summary of Raven's Interview
Love for Portland Wrestling
- Territory Characteristics
- Portland's territory was geographically small with short travel distances (average 25-30 miles).
- Wrestled six nights a week, sometimes seven, making good money.
- Unique Fan Base
- Portland Wrestling was one of the only sports in town, besides the Trail Blazers, making it a standout event.
Promoter Stories
- Elton Owen's Paid Shoot Matches
- Elton Owen, brother of promoter Don Owen, paid wrestlers to shoot on each other for the first minute of the match.
- Wrestlers quickly adapted, pretending to shoot and then splitting the money evenly.
Innovating Entertainment on the Road
- First Wrestler with a TV in the Car
- Raven claimed to be the first wrestler to have a TV in the car, starting with a 5-inch black-and-white TV on his dashboard.
- Upgraded to a color TV and later used a video cassette player (VCP) to watch VHS tapes during drives.
- This was before modern technologies like streaming, DVD players, and in-car entertainment systems.
- Raven jokingly suggests he deserves royalties for pioneering the idea of car TVs.
Raven sure sounds like he lived quite the life with the latest tech gadgets fitted into his cars. Either that or he's secretly a tech geek in disguise!
