The Mid-Card Chronicle – Episode 2 Featuring the Dependable Talents Who Made Every Card Complete

In Episode 2 of The Mid-Card Chronicle, host Frank Culbertson explores three more wrestlers whose contributions helped shape the Northwest territory:• Alexis Smirnoff – A seasoned veteran whose brief 1985 Portland run hinted at a big feud before his sudden departure to the WWF.• Dean Higuchi (Dean Ho) – A respected veteran, bodybuilder, and trainer whose career stretched from Portland to Vancouver and the WWWF.• Professor Dale Lewis – An Olympic wrestler whose amateur credentials and cerebral interview style made him one of the most unique personalities in the territory.These wrestlers may not always headline the history books, but they were essential to the success of the Portland Sports Arena and the Northwest wrestling scene.Because without the middle… there is no main event.📚 Based on 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.
