Description
🎙️ Episode 8 – Shadows and Secrets: Hussian, Hayes, and Shogun
Welcome to One Match Wonders, where forgotten faces and fleeting appearances from Portland Wrestling’s golden era are pulled from the shadows and brought into the spotlight.
In this mysterious eighth volume, we dig into the stories of three wrestlers who made only one appearance at the Portland Sports Arena—but each left behind unanswered questions:
🕵️ Arman Hussian – A legend cloaked in secrecy. He spoke with a British accent, never broke kayfabe, and wrestled everywhere from Vancouver to Texas—yet only once under Portland’s lights. Who was he, really?
🥋 Gil Hayes – A brash Canadian on the rise who stopped briefly in Portland in 1972 before becoming a North American Champion in Calgary’s Stampede Wrestling.
🧢 Shogun – A one-match enigma in 1988. Was it Akio Sato? A stand-in? An unknown working under a mysterious alias? We may never know.
From rumored identities to forgotten champions, One Match Wonders explores the thin line between legend and anonymity in the world of territorial wrestling.
