The Mid-Card Chronicle – Episode 1Featuring the Dependable Talents Who Made Every Card CompleteMain events get remembered. Champions get photographed. But every wrestling territory—especially Portland—was built on something just as important: the wrestlers who anchored the middle of the card and made the stars shine. Mid Card Chronicle #1In the debut episode of The Mid-Card Chronicle, host FrankCulbertson shines a spotlight on three dependable talents who helped define Portland Wrestling:• Rocky Montero – A former boxer whose tough, believable style turned him from heel to fan favorite during his Northwest run.• Art Crews – A wrestler who reinvented himself from classic babyface to wild-eyed heel during two very different Portland eras.• Abudda Dein – The mysterious character portrayed by Rocky Iaukea, whose theatrical interviews and championship success made him a memorable late-era presence.These weren’t always the headline names—but they were thewrestlers who showed up, worked hard, and helped every card succeed.Because without the middle… there is no main event.📚 Based on research from The Encyclopedia of Portland Wrestlers by historian Mike Rodgers.🎙 New episodes of The Mid-Card Chronicle drop every Friday on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and YouTube.
