The Portland Wrestlecast is back with the history of the biggest feud in Portland Wrestling history. It was bigger than Piper vs. Rose or Rip Oliver vs. Billy Jack.
In 1968, “Tough” Tony Borne vs. Lonnie Mayne drew thousands of fans to the then brand-new Portland Memorial Coliseum. They went from dominant World Tag Team champions to a series of battles that fans in Portland remember to this day.
I talk with longtime fan, promoter and historian Frank Culbertson about his memories of the feud and the new book from Mike Rodgers: “Katie Bar The Door! History of Portland Wrestling.“
