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

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

🕵️‍♂️ 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.
