Oregon Wrestling Federation (OWF) aired 1988 July 9 on KPDX 49 with original commercials!

PLEASE NOTE: The broadcast audio for the first 2 minutes and 53 seconds were not recorded over what was originally on the tape. That unrelated audio has been removed. The remaining audio has been cleaned and normalized.

This is one of the last broadcasts of the short-lived Oregon Wrestling Federation, headed by Billy Jack Haynes. It aired at 4 PM Pacific time on Saturday, July 9, 1988 on KPDX 49, taped from a live show the previous Saturday by KPDX camera crews at the Oregon City Civic Center in Oregon City, OR. Money and trust problems plagued the organization and OWF folded entirely nine days later on July 18. That September, an article in the Willamette Week detailed the saga of Billy Jack Haynes and was re-run in February 2024: https://www.wweek.com/archive/2024/02...
As with all of my videos, these uploads are for preservation purposes and I do not necessarily endorse the views expressed in, nor do I assume copyright or ownership of, the content of this video.

Most of the advertisements have been kept. One promo cut short was an ad for the controversy-baiting "Morton Downey, Jr. Show" which I also, unfortunately, have a copy of, so I understand why the recorder cut him off. The video is of fairly high quality, as it was recorded in SP.

Discovered on a RCA VK-250 tape I acquired today from an estate sale in the Portland, OR area.

Card and timestamps to come.
