Top Heels
- Mike Rodgers
This month we are going to look at the top heels in the NW. This list
may not be the most successful people, but we want to look at the best
personas and best looks that exuded evil.
10. Crazy Chuck Karbo.
Karbos gimmick is that he wrestled alligators, his favorite move was
grabbing his opponents mouth and trying to pry it open. Karbo had
wrestled in Arizona and the South but never achieved that much success.
And to be truthful, he wasn’t that successful here either. But he was
unforgettable.
9. The Claw
Big Tom Andrews masked gimmick along with the dreaded finish hold of
the claw brought terror to the fans in 1970. He feuded with Lonnie Mayne
and later Beauregard. The masked wrestler was quite unique in this time
period.
8. The Bruise Brothers
This team would not have made this list if it were not for one angle.
It was Christmas night, I believe 1989. The Bruise Brothers and Don Owen
were in the ring when something happened that the Brothers did not like.
They turned on Owen and gave him a big push. Elderly Don took the big
bump and the way the crowd reacted was scary. You could hear a pin drop.
That couldn’t have been part of a angle! Then the crowd went nuts.
That may have been the most villainous moment in all of Portland
Wrestling.
7. Dutch Savage
Although he spent a majority of his time as a babyface, he was
probably more comfortable as a heel since it seems like it was closer to
his true personality. His look as well as his demeanor made for a great
heel.
6. Ripper Collins
The fans hated Ripper Collins...He exploded onto the area in the
early 70’s and his vicious style brought forth the hatred. He
destroyed Dutch Savage upon his debut and finished him off with the
dreaded Oh Poo drop, which was a knee to the lower regions. There was so
much heat on that move. More...
