Absolutely right. That night he turned was epic. Then the following Saturday it wasn't. Buddy was a natural chicken shit heel and was unconvincing as a babyface.
This clip starts out with two newscasters and at first I was like, "Buddy's gone and got himself on the news again. Boy, they sure used to take their wrestling seriously in Portland, didn't they?" 😀
@@Kaltagstar96 It was. I'm from Portland. Back then, the results of the wrestling matches the night before were in the morning newspaper along with the rest of the sports scores and results.
Both Rose and Borne wrestled at the first WrestleMaina a year later . Rose took on Tito Santana as the Masked Executioner and Borne wrestled Ricky Steamboat . They both lost.
That's some good trivia. I had no idea Buddy was the Masked Executioner. I was on Spring break in TX when the first WrestleMania was being promoted all over MTV.
AWESOME - I never got Portland - but in MA I got WWF , and later in DE I got ESPN Casino AWA - Loved Playboy Buddy Rose - I hated seeing him turned into a jobber in WWF at end. I heard and read the stories of his army in Portland
Nope....Buddy was the lead heel in Portland from the day he arrived in Portland in August 1976 until this angle in June 1983. Ventura & Rose were a heel tag team, then Ventura became a face when he turned on Rose when he blamed Rose for injuring him when they lost the tag belts.
Matt a pussy when is the last time you heard that in sports entertainment!!! Great promo we always kept watching because you never knew what they were going to say or do it was the wild wild West miss those days when you go to the sports arena and hurry home to see us on TV later that night. I just don’t understand why we haven’t been able to get another promotion in town that could last if AEW was smarter He would start a farm league here secure local TV and start turning. The next generation. Portland is not New York but all of our greatest talent ended up there even some of our not so talented ended up there because they knew how to work a crowd and today’s wrestlers only work a couple days a week, but that’s what I would do if I had, a major promotion because nobody knows how to cut a live promo without someone writing it for them. And then I would bring teams like FTR to work with a talent because they’re the only team that I think next to the Briscoe’s rest peas that have that old school mentality. Just my humble opinion.
God ! I miss when wrestling was like this . Crowds electric , folks wanted to jump the rail at heels , girls screaming and crying at the babyface getting hurt . It will never be like that again . im 43 started watching at 6 . i caught the last of the territory style believable wrestling . wish i was born ten years earlier maybe for wrestling . ONLY !! LOL
I was thinking Rose had a heel turn in Portland against Jesse Ventura (when Ventura was babyface)???? Am I wrong about this, or was the Ventura/Rose altercation a separate heel turn in Portland?? refresh my memory, somebody . . .
Speaking of Vince McMahon...July 14, 1984 was also the very same day that his World Wrestling Federation took over the World Championship Wrestling time slot on TBS (in what was dubbed Black Saturday).
YES MATT WAS THE 1ST ORIGINAL DOINK THE CLOWN SADLY HE PASSED AWAY TODAY . RIP MATT GOD DECIDED HE WANTED THE BEST WRESTLER IN THE BUISNESS FOR A WRESTLING MATCH MADE IN HEAVEN , DEEPEST SYMPATHIES TO HIS FAMILY DURING THESE DIFFICULT TIMES RIP MATT FROM SCOTLAND UNITED KINGDOM
One of Buddy's Female Valets at the particular time was of course Miss Sherri Martel. A number of years later She Managed him and Doug Somers as only She could against Curt Hennig and Scott Hall in a Legendary feud for The AWA Tag Championships. And all five are gone now. R.I.P.😔🎤🔔 × 10 🤼♀️🤼♂️B.W.
Intriguingly enough as to NWA Pacific Northwest history a Territorial standout named Rowdy Roddy Piper wrestled Bob Backlund on several occasions in The WWWF in The Seventies.🤔🎤🏴🤼♂️B.W.
I remember this well I was 16 yrs old. I was at Grandma Hazel's she was talking long distance to Clara Forsyth Such long time ago.
RIP Buddy Rose, Matt Bourne and Stan Stasiak
I sure miss these days for sure so much better then the wwe days like 2019
*AEW days like 2020
Both Rose and Borne would compete at WrestleMania just a few months later.
Buddy was such a great heel. No surprise that he eventually became a heel again.
The best is when Borne oversells Rose rubbing his shoe in his face at 3:45
I do have some Portland Buzz Sawyer footage, including when he went by "Buzzsaw Kane" when he first arrived, but the quality isn't nearly as good.
Buddy's face turn was great for like a week I was thankful for this turn back to the darkside

Was that common in the territory days? Like, was wrestling covered alongside other sports in the time?
@@Kaltagstar96 It was. I'm from Portland. Back then, the results of the wrestling matches the night before were in the morning newspaper along with the rest of the sports scores and results.
A year after Buddy Rose turned face at the hands of Rip Oliver and Dynamite Kid he turns heel on Matt Borne.
Portland had the two best heel turns in history -- this, and Billy Jack Haynes' turn.
Both Rose and Borne wrestled at the first WrestleMaina a year later . Rose took on Tito Santana as the Masked Executioner and Borne wrestled Ricky Steamboat . They both lost.

❤
I knew about Borne, but didn't know that was Rose. Love me some Playboy.
Wow really
Great heel.. each of you R.I.P.
AWESOME - I never got Portland - but in MA I got WWF , and later in DE I got ESPN Casino AWA - Loved Playboy Buddy Rose - I hated seeing him turned into a jobber in WWF at end. I heard and read the stories of his army in Portland
Buddy's lucky Stan the Man didn't give him the Heart Punch.
Yep😂.. I thought the same. Stan could have "ended" it all with his dreaded Heart ❤️ Punch 👊
2:45 😮 5:47 "You're not getting this microphone anymore."
Buddy Rose, what memories.
One of the great promotions.

Great vid! No PNW wrestling on in dallas. Got later footage on Pro Wrestling this Week.
Listen to that crowd!
a great promo❤
I do not SUCK! The Northwest SUCKS!
This is great. Nobody can cut a heel promo like the Playboy!
Real talk classic

💯
I'll tell ya what I'm doing. I'm turning heel. Lol.
Instead of Playboy-he looks more like a PLOYBOY!🤣
the silence from that first hit 😮
a big wtf moment!
Rose was sooo talented. He really was regulated in The WWF.
Not fair.
I was thinking Rose had a heel turn in Portland against Jesse Ventura (when Ventura was babyface)???? Am I wrong about this, or was the Ventura/Rose altercation a separate heel turn in Portland?? refresh my memory, somebody . . .
Borne really sold being forced to lick Buddy Rose's shoe!
Speaking of Vince McMahon...July 14, 1984 was also the very same day that his World Wrestling Federation took over the World Championship Wrestling time slot on TBS (in what was dubbed Black Saturday).
If it was 1984 it was the WWF.
@@fordsrule35 Same thing.
Portland had some good fans considering they had no real big stars for long periods of time.
Is it me or does Maniac Matt Borne look a lot like Doink the Clown?
ricky dona
😆🤣😂
Doink was in reality Donald Trump!
It's just you
R.I.P. Both Men :_(
Playboy and Doink The Clown :(
You got that right. Terry Taylor as the Red Rooster was another surefire hit.
Ahhh, these are dear memeoies
I'm a lean, mean 217
Nothing beats a good turn! Or is that bad turn? Why didn't Stan the Man break out the Heart Punch when Playboy pushed him?
A stretcher for a cut forehead
This was Black Saturday.
5:58 can you say that on television?
Ppl werent a bunch of sensitive 😺 in 1984 🤘
I'm on Playboy Buddy Rose's side on this one.
WELL, at least Prichard(sp) had time to put on his fucking flip-flops!!
wasnt Matt Borne Doink The Clown?
Yep
yes
a year later, they're jobbing to Tito Santana and Ricky Steamboat at the first Wrestlemania.
Doink and the playboy
In real life Borne would’ve mangled Rose!!!
Lol that's a spicy promo for the 80s
Who has any Portland 70's-85 footage for trade or sale??? Contact me
anyone watching in 2019
Rose should have hit the interviewer with the chair,it would have been worth it paying fines/suspension.
YES MATT WAS THE 1ST ORIGINAL DOINK THE CLOWN SADLY HE PASSED AWAY TODAY .
RIP MATT GOD DECIDED HE WANTED THE BEST WRESTLER IN THE BUISNESS FOR A WRESTLING MATCH MADE IN HEAVEN , DEEPEST SYMPATHIES TO HIS FAMILY DURING THESE DIFFICULT TIMES RIP MATT FROM SCOTLAND UNITED KINGDOM
And now Buddy is gone and piper.
#PlayboyLife
I’ll tell you what I’m doing
Rest in peace Paul
Buddy Rose in gcw
so it isn't fake?
Playboy talks with full conviction and passion but with absolutely no substance
Hilarious
The Playboy was the worst-ever No. 1 contender for the WWF title. Bob Backlund easily beat him several times.
He was in the match to put Backlund over. He did the job.
Those are fun matches to watch, especially the ones where buddy had girls, he’d look at Backlind and say “where are your girls Bob?”
One of Buddy's Female Valets at the particular time was of course Miss Sherri Martel. A number of years later She Managed him and Doug Somers as only She could against Curt Hennig and Scott Hall in a Legendary feud for The AWA Tag Championships. And all five are gone now. R.I.P.😔🎤🔔 × 10 🤼♀️🤼♂️B.W.
