Portland Wrestling Obscurities: Forgotten, Brief, and Barely Remembered
They weren’t champions. They weren’t headliners. But they stepped into Don Owen’s House of Action—and for a brief moment, they mattered.
In this episode:
🪶 Jerry Goodvoice – A Teton-Sioux wrestler who reluctantly wore feathers and bright colors, becoming part of Don Owen’s long tradition of booking Native wrestlers.
🎨 Bob Harmes – Billed as the “Magnificent Mennonite—Canada’s Handsomest Athlete.” A wrestler, teacher, and painter whose art was displayed in New York, London, and Hong Kong.
🌎 Don Serrano – A journeyman trained by Argentina Rocca who wrestled for over 30 years, including a quiet stint in Portland and tag team gold in Puerto Rico.
Three men. Three stories. Each proof that wrestling history isn’t just about the stars—it’s about the footnotes, too.
