On October 22, 2012, after a 21-year absence, it was announced that KPTV and KPDX would be reviving Portland Wrestling (under the name Portland Wrestling Uncut) under the direction of WWE Hall of Famer and PNW legend Rowdy Roddy Piper. The new series debuted on October 27 on KPTV following Game Three of the 2012 World Series. Portland Wrestling rights owner Don Coss has also returned to announce the matches along with special guests. The wrestling matches are taped at the KPTV's Beaverton studios. Two months later on December 29, Portland Wrestling Uncut moved to KPTV's sister station KPDX, retaining the Saturday night timeslot that the program held when it was revived on KPTV.

Famous quotes containing the word wrestling:
“We laugh at him who steps out of his room at the very moment when the sun steps out, and says: “I will the sun to rise”; and at him who cannot stop the wheel, and says: “I will it to roll”; and at him who is taken down in a wrestling match, and says: “I lie here, but I will that I lie here!” And yet, all laughter aside, do we ever do anything other than one of these three things when we use the expression, “I will”?”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
