    NEW Captain's Corner Podcast #6 - Featuring Mean Mike Miller
    NOTE: We apologize in advance for the audio issues during the Mike Miller Interview portion of the show (especially the first 3 questions/first 8 minutes of the interview). Mike was connected through his phone and there were audio issues on his side that we couldn't completely clean up... Nevertheless, Mike spent close to 40 minutes sharing stories about Portland, Stampede, USWA, a funny Harley Race story that involves a gun(!), & more that we hope you'll enjoy.

    A reminder that the Portland Wrestling Expo is coming Saturday, February 22nd from the Portland Airport Holiday Inn, featuring the likes of The Grappler (Len Denton), Top Gun (Assassin, Destroyer, Fidel Sierra), Ricky Santana, Mean Mike Miller, Moondog (Ed) Moretti, Rikishi, & more big names TBA.
