surprised, but Still, Intercontinental Champion, the magnificent Morocco from June 20th at the Spectrum to meet the former champion, Pedro Morales.
Nikita BreznikovHOST
Now, you know, we've talked about this before, but we've picked up a lot more viewers, so I'm going to rehash it a little.
Nikita BreznikovHOST
When
Frank CulbertsonHOST
Now, they had a great replacement though for him, Pepper Gomez, and he made his return to Salem after two years and stepped in for Marino.
Frank CulbertsonHOST
Now, Gomez has been pushed in all the papers from Portland to Eugene as a former world tag team champion with Pedro Morales.
Frank CulbertsonHOST
He's said to have blinding speed.
Frank CulbertsonHOST
He's said to be nationally known and a former wrestling star in Oregon.
Mike RodgersHOST
Well, he started in the mid-'50s.
Mike RodgersHOST
Had so much success in the Houston area that Paul Boesch was ready to let him buy into the territory.
Mike RodgersHOST
And then for some reason he decided to take all of his success to the Bay Area, and he kinda left Houston, went to the Bay Area, formed that team with Pedro Morales and one of the great teams, you know, and they feuded with Pat Patterson and Ray Stevens.
Mike RodgersHOST
So much success, you know, in the late '60s that when he comes here to Portland, yeah, just like I mentioned, he should be the number one babyface and they should be pushing him as hard as they can.
Michael HamflettHOST

Michael HamflettHOST

Tom PrichardHOST
If it is going to be rock and roll next year, I'd keep it on him actually regardless until somebody comes along that really generates the heat to prove he can't.
John PozHOST
And they keep mentioning Bruno, Pedro Morales, Bob Backlund, and Hulk Hogan every time he comes out.
John PozHOST
Those are the guys with the longer title runs than him.
John PozHOST
Each guy held it for over 1,000.
John PozHOST
Bruno overlooking the 2,000.
John PozHOST
Obviously, Pedro Morales, I think, was like 1,500.
John PozHOST
It was a lot.
John PozHOST
I mean, we're talking about many, many days as champion.

Pedro Morales, he was there for the Puerto Rican fan base and the Latino fans.
Timmy BaltimoreHOST
Bobo Brazil, there it is.
Timmy BaltimoreHOST
He connected with the black fans, the African-Americans.
Corey DraperHOST
Uh, he started off as the Super Destroyer in the WWWF in 1972.
Corey DraperHOST
Fought with Pedro Morales and stuff like that and then he becomes Mark Three, Super Destroyer Mark Three in the AWA, [laughs] you know, in the early-ish mid-'80s.
Jeff HughesHOST
So he was at the front of the line-
Corey DraperHOST
Yeah
Steve GenerelliHOST
A- absolutely.
Steve GenerelliHOST
A- and one of the matches that, uh, we're gonna see later, uh, or maybe even talk about later in this, uh, hour or so, uh, there's a match at the Syracuse tapings where Danny is refereeing, uh, just a regular TV match between Tito Santana, Pedro Morales against Sheik and Volkoff.
Steve GenerelliHOST
And during that match there's one of those typical heel switch outs where, uh, Volkoff takes Sheik's place and like drops a big elbow on Morales, and actually gets a, a pinfall on Morales, but he wasn't the right guy in the ring.
Steve GenerelliHOST
But Danny Davis, you know, being the heel that he is [laughs] turning into, uh, you know, turns a blind eye to the n- non-tag.

John McAdamHOST
Tells P- Pedro Morales to beat it.
Frank CulbertsonHOST
They had been together, apart, champions, enemies, and partners again.
Frank CulbertsonHOST
In January of 1968, Borne and Mayne even defeated Pedro Morales and Pepper Gomez for the World Tag Team Championship, although the title change wasn't recognized in the Bay Area.
Frank CulbertsonHOST
But Portland wrestling was changing.
Frank CulbertsonHOST
The promotion had moved into the Portland Sports Arena, and by the first half of 1969, the crowds weren't consistently there.
