This was especially true in Atlantic City where in the sixties before the casinos came in, AC was a resort town (albeit a dying one), the WWWF ran there only during the summer months. Teaneck, Jersey City, and Newark usually went with the regular formula possibly because of their closer proximity to NYC. Therefore, an Apollo/Sammartino U.S. Tag Team title win could have popped the crowd for the one night and then completely been forgotten about by the next Asbury Park show in November.

G'day WongLee, Thanks for the explanation, mate. I'll admit to being a pro wrestling tragic. I love the concept of title lineage and was hoping that the Skull Murphy & Brute Bernard - Bruno Sammartino & Vittorio Apollo - Skull Murphy & Brute Bernard - Killer Kowalski & Gorilla Monsoon title changes in 1963 may have been a possibility. ![]() Your posts are always of interest to me and I really appreciate your knowledge of pro wrestling. Cheers! Ed

I don't want to be too rude, but could you please post the complete cards? Though I have to say that it is nice to know that because of the posts I won't have to get frustrated looking for non-existing results in the papers.

I'm wondering if there's been a mix-up in this record from 1961: 03/27 New York, NY Bruno Sammartino beat Haystacks Calhoun I've also seen this as: March 27, 1961 - New York City, NY - Madison Square Garden W Haystacks Calhoun (http://sportsandwrestling.mywowbb.com/forum2/956-1.html) And like this (on NYProWrestling.com): 03/25/1961 CWC - New York, NY Bruno Sammartino def Haystack Calhoun Pat O'Connor def Karl Von Hess (The O'Connor-Hess match is also mentioned in the Pat O'Connor Record book.) As far as I can tell, Bruno beat Haystacks, and O'Connor beat Hess at MSG on 2/27/61. There was a MSG card on 3/27/61, but Hess lost to Johnny Valentine while the three others were not on this card. I'm not sure if O'Connor (NWA champion) did in fact meet Hess somewhere else in New York on 3/25/61, but Sammartino appearantly had a match in Detroit on that date.
