🔥 Ringside in Rose City #24 Ed Moretti! 🔥

from Portland Wrestling · host Frank

This week, we don’t spin the wheel — Lisa punches thebutton. Episode #24 brings a very special guest into the squared circle as legendary Ed “Moondog” Moretti joins Frank Culbertson and Portland Wrestling historian Mike Rogers for a deep, revealing, and often hilarious conversation about a life in professional wrestling. From building a backyard ring in Daly City… To learning from the Guerreros at the San Jose YMCA… To refereeing in the Cow Palace… To wrestling André the Giant in Oregon… To touring Japan and working with Stan Hansen, Bruiser Brody, Dory Funk Jr., Harley Race and more… Ed walks us through it all — territory by territory, bump bybump. You’ll hear stories about: His first match with Road Warrior Hawk Working brutal cage and chain matches in Vancouver Tag title runs in Portland Wrestling Rocky Johnson (and seeing a young Dwayne Johnson backstage) Teaming with Mike Miller and battling Ricky Vaughn Touring Japan and learning the hard way about stiffness The chaos of territory politics in Tennessee and Kansas City Chris Colt: bizarre, brilliant, unforgettable The Portland dressing room during the Grappler transition And yes… the legendary CAC award speech that went just alittle long Plus, a wild round of Kayfabe Curveballs where science, space travel, Hogan’s Heroes, and Mike Rogers’ memory all collide —and Ed proves he may know more than any of us expected. This is territory wrestling history told by someone who lived it. Honest. Funny. Raw. If you love Portland Wrestling, All Star Wrestling, the Japanese tours of the ‘80s, or the real stories behind the business — thisepisode is as real as it gets. 🎙️ Ringside in Rose City One Ring. One City. A Thousand Stories. Wrestling… Wrestling the way it should be.
