Arizona In Portland.
The Phoenix office and the Portland office long had an exchange program. past decades saw Killer Brooks, Haystacks Calhoun, the Tolos Brothers, Chris Colt, Kurt Von Steiger and others migrating back and forth between the two territories with ease.
The trend continues with BCW, a modern NWA member, running weekly in Portland now.
One of the mainstays is Badd Blood, who may be remembered by Arizona fans for his action with Rage In The Cage down in Tucson in the 1990s. He has since shifted his interests from the California/Arizona area into the Northwest, where he has been going strong for some time
Curiously, infamous Arizona ,amager The Time Traveler was in the audience at the last Portland card.
As a further Arizona tie in, longtime Arizona resident and former WWF?WWE star, The Honkytonk Man .will be heading to Portland for the group in July.
regional people and regulars with he group are quite capable grapplers, showing far greater skill than many on the contemporary independent scene. These people include Buddy Highway, Tyson lee, Lance Dean, The Moonshiners, Demarcus James, Havoc, Petrov and several more.
Crafty veteran, Kevin Sullivan, has also been seen with the group.

Bob Lueck
Bob Lueck played football for the Cleveland Browns and later for the Canadian leagues, before retiring from both wrestling which he did on the side in off season and the gridiron.
In the early 1970s, Lueck received a big push on the Phoenix circuit, especially known for his feud with The Comancheros. First, he and Tito Montez took on the notorious hippy pair in a number of matches. later, Lueck teamed with fellow football player, Ron Pritchard, to do the same.
Oddly, Lueck turned on Pritchard in the middle of a tag team bout with the two Comancheros, hit his partner with a pair of brass knuckles and walked out with the villains.
The new feud between Lueck and Pritchard was never expanded upon. Football season a starting and the intention as to have an extended war between Pritchard and Lueck the following year when they resumed wrestling but again, it did not transpire.
Lueck became a big time rancher in the Buckeye area after leaving pro sports. On occasion, he was still seen in attendance at wrestling matches, but not too often.

Panteon Morclova
Panteon came from Durango, Mexico or so he was billed. For a time in the 1940s he had a successful run in Arizona as a heel, usually using simple dirty moves to win his matches, such as a low blow when the ref was distracted or putting his foot on the ropes for leverage. One of his favorite tactics was to be hurled into the ropes where his opponent intended to catch him with a dropkick on the rebound. Instead, the hated villain would grab said ropes and yank himself out of the way so his rival would fly through the air, hit nothing and crash to the mat. From there, a pin was easy.
One of Panteon's main rivals was Kenny Mayne, the father of latter day wrestler, Lonnie Mayne.. Maybe ad Morclova met several times in Phoenix, Tucson and Globe, where the two traded wins..
On occasion. this heel would also resort to the old roll of dimes in the fist routine, where he pulled said roll from his boot and flattened his opponent when the two of them fought on the arena floor. Dimes would fly everywhere, sending fans scrambling to pick the, up and pocket them. Sometimes. the ref caught him and he was disqualified. At other times, he would get by with this and score a win.
Panteon was also seen in Texas and California before retiring. He likewise did some wrestling in the Mexican interior.

Monge
Monge was a masked wrestler who appeared in Arizona in the early 1990s as some sort of mad friar, dressed in brown, with a brown mask. He was billed as coming from San Luis Rio Colorado, across the border from Yuma.
In his Arizona matches, this bizarre masked man feuded with Indio Seri, El Principal, Eddie Lopez, Fly Boy and Amadeus. The matches with Fly Boy were particularly bloody, with Monge busting the popular high flyer open time and time again.
Monhe used a crucifix hold to force his opponents into submission, when eh took the option to do something legal. usually, however, he was more practical. He cheated to win, by grabbing a handful of trunks or putting his feet on the rope.
Eventually, the masked wrestler left Arizona and headed for Mexico, where he was a regular in San Luis, Nogales, Hermosillo, Mexicali, San Felipe and other towns for several more years.
