TSCGM Rarities Vol. 1 - part 1/2
- 7 years ago
The Squared Circle's Greatest Matches (TSCGM) was a pro wrestling show that aired on cable access in Portland/Vancouver from 1993 until 2001. TSCGM was created by Bryan Bennett (1979-2016), a prominent figure in the PNW wrestling scene, who also co-hosted a weekly AM radio show with Playboy Buddy Rose on 1010AM "The Voice."
Bryan started TSCGM at age 14, filming and doing play-by-play for Sandy Barr's promotion "Championship Wrestling USA," which succeeded Don Owen's famous Portland Wrestling. TSCGM's transitioned to airing shows highlighting the best matches from the WWF, NWA, WCW, AWA, Portland, and ECW. In this era before internet video, only tape traders had access to these matches. All surviving tapes have (finally) been transferred to digital!
For the ~10 years that wrestling was on life support in Oregon due to the oppressive wrestling commission, TSCGM was a lifeline for fans in the northwest.
