The Mid-Card Chronicle – Episode 3
Featuring the Dependable Talents Who Made Every Card Complete

Main events tell part of the story—but the heart of PortlandWrestling lived in the wrestlers who showed up night after night and made the entire card work.

In Episode 3 of The Mid-Card Chronicle, host FrankCulbertson highlights three more essential contributors to the Northwest territory:

• Ricky Hunter – A trusted veteran whose longevity, toughness, and reputation made him a cornerstone of Portland Wrestling for nearly a decade.
• Carlos Belafonte (Carlos Colón) – A future international star whose brief Northwest run showed flashes of greatness before becoming a global draw.
• Baron Scicluna – A former WWWF Tag Team Champion whose short but notable Portland appearance brought big-league credibility to the territory.

These are the wrestlers who didn’t always headline—butwithout them, there is no main event.
