John Cretoria was Honest John in some places, Crusher John in others.

5/21/52 Los Angeles, CA Lou Thesz beat Baron Michele Leone 2/3 Dr Lee Grable beat Ray Piret Sky Low Low beat Jack Cassidy Wild Red Berry drew Billy Varga 15:00 Mike Sharpe & Ben Sharpe beat Vic Christy & Sandor Szabo Danny McShain drew Rito Romero 5/21/52 Bakersfield, CA Farmer Pete beat Irish Jackie Enrique Torres & Carlos Guzman beat Ted Christy & Hans Schnabel John Cretoria beat Paul Britton Interesting they still ran in Bakersfield the same night as the BIG Gilmore Field show. Even though the Strelich Stadium show here is a "C" show at best and Bakersfield is not that close to L.A., I'm surprised they would even bother. On September 30, 1972, the WWWF ran a matinee in Philadelphia before the big Shea Stadium show but that was with their full crew except for Bruno and Pedro.

I've just started on Southern California 1953. The Long Beach papers have Santa Monica Ocean Park Arena results from that year. More Olympic Auditorium results too.

The biggest story of that year was televised wrestling getting all the big names while house shows running the same night got lesser talent. Strelich eventually switched from Wednesday nights to Tuesday nights so he could have access to top talent.

I started my SoCal stuff from 1954. By then the TV was insane. Every Monday night at Hollywood Legion Stadium. Every Wednesday night from the Olympic. TV tapings every month or so from either Long Beach or Santa Monica. Plus CBS was televising a Saturday afternoon show from Hollywood Legion almost every other week. Alot of the time those national shows had Thez headlining.

Great results. Thanks for post them. A lot of great talent was in this area. It seems Carlos Guzman was one of the top guys, but I am not familiar with him. Did this Tom Renesto go on to become an Assassin?

I think he was also known as Carlos Moreno in East Texas. He seemed to get pushed just as much as the other hispanic guys like Rito Romero.

From the little that I know, Carlos Guzman is the brother of Miguel Black Guzman who was Tag Champ with Rito Romero(Texas State Tag Champs) so when Carlos went there to wrestle I assume he was given the name Moreno to avoid connecting him to his brother. Just a guess. Black Guzman was also the Texas State Heavyweight Champion during that timeframe. They did wrestle together several times though.

Yep you are correct. Hornbaker does have Carlos Guzman listed as Miguel's brother.
