One Match Wonders – Volume 5 | “Who Was That Guy? Names, Faces, and One-Night Stays”

They weren’t household names—but they were there.

In this episode of One Match Wonders, we investigate three mysterious wrestlers who each made one single appearance at the legendary Portland Sports Arena. But behind those brief appearances are stories that span continents, territories, and decades in the wrestling business.

🕵️‍♂️ Was “Rich Miller” actually Frenchy Martin?
A name no one recognized leads to a wrestling mystery solved through newspaper archives and territory tracking.

💪 Jerry Monti – The unsung hero known as the “measuring stick” in San Francisco. He wrestled one match in Portland in 1975, but helped define new talent for years.

🌍 Denny Alberts – A journeyman who crisscrossed nearly every territory in North America. His Portland match was a stop on a much bigger journey.

🎧 One Match Wonders tells the stories of the forgotten faces of Portland Wrestling—one match at a time.
