Portland Battle Royal - 8/30/1980

I really enjoyed the last one of these I saw. In there we have Stasiak, Popovich (fresh off of a full nelson win vs Wiskowski who lost a loser leaves town match with .. Boyd? Piper? someone, but who is fulfilling his contractual obligations), a twenty-one year old Eric Embry, Wiskowski, Rick "dellasara?" who I don't recognize, Rip Oliver, Boyd, Ricky Hunter, Chris f'n Colt, Joe Lightfoot (who I haven't seen in the territory before), The Cuban (Cortez), and Rose. I'll bullet point this like last time.

- Heels congregate on one side. Faces on the other in the announcements. This is for $20K
-Colt immediately bolts out of the ring and Sandy Barr yells at him. Go Chris Colt. He sneaks his way back in and almost immediately gets tossed. Boo. Barr has to elbow him to get him to leave.
- My gut tells me they brought Stasiak in special for this. He's mainly targeting Rose and Wiskowski. Boyd is paired with the Cuban who he's had a few matches with lately. 
-It probably sucked to be Ricky Hunter. It's one thing to be a jobber, but a jobber in Portland?
-Buddy went through the ropes and Boyd chased after and they did some fun brawling in the crowd and around the ring for a few minutes before Boyd tosses him back in. Buddy then almost goes out. He's great in these. Just stooging his ass off with big dramatic flailing. They finally do a thing where Rose and Stasiak get eliminated together by Emery of all people.
-It ends up with Popovich, Boyd, Oliver, and the Cuban, who Stasiak eliminated but Barr didn't see it. I thought for a second they were going to put Popovich over huge but he gets double-teamed by the army and eliminated, leaving a feisty Boyd to fight against the heels alone for about a minute before he gets tossed too. They had Wiskowki hit the Cuban by accident earlier in the match but didn't make much out of it. Now it's down to him and Oliver so this should be sort of interesting. 
-Wait, scrap that, for some ungodly reason, they're letting Popovich back in. Anyway, he tries to toss Oliver and Boyd, from the outside helped, and this is a heap of screwed up BS. I've never seen a battle royal where the last two guys had honestly been eliminated earlier in the match but were just allowed back in because, oops, they were supposed to be the last two guys. Ha! The Cuban almost had Popovich eliminated and Boyd casually walked around the ring and pulled him out too. 

What a BS Battle Royal. Total Portland booking to put him over strong like this. Good thought. They just really messed up the delivery. The last Battle Royal was way better due to more Colt, more Rose, and more Piper.
