Description

In our debut episode of On to Better Things: The Portland Chapters, host Frank Culbertson explores three wrestlers whose time in Portland was just the beginning.

  • Adrian Adonis: Before the WWF spotlight, Keith Franks came through Portland, sharpened his skills, and left fans with some of the territory’s most memorable matches.

  • Terry Allen: A young hopeful trained under Sandy Barr, who later returned as Magnum T.A. to headline against Ric Flair before his career was tragically cut short.

  • Chris Adams: The Englishman who brought judo to the ring, introduced the superkick, and trained a future “Stone Cold” Steve Austin.

These are the Portland chapters—brief runs, breakout moments, and the stepping stones to wrestling history.
