From the column Time Out With Maurice Smith in the Winnipeg Free Press dated Saturday March 31, 1962. Wrestling War? After 17 years, promoter Alex Turk and the Minneapolis wrestling interests headed by Vern Gagne and Wally Karbo, have come to the parting of the ways. Friday night’s match at the Winnipeg Arena was the last in which Turk will use wrestled supplied by Messrs. Karbo and Gagne. Instead, he (Turk) has formed an alliance with west coast and eastern Canada promoters who will now provide him with grapplers. His first show will take place April 13 with Whipper Watson and Gene Kiniski billed to meet for the Britsh Empire Title now held by Watson. Meantime, the Minneapolis group will continue to stage bouts in Winnipeg. It is the understanding here that Sam Diamond, local pharmacist, whose place of business is a well known meeting spot for the (Winnipeg) Blue Bombers, will take over as local promoter for Gagne and Karbo. And the best guess is Bud Grant will be standing in the wings watching Promoter Diamond in action. Any way you wish to look at it, there is now a wrestling war in Winnipeg and it could be fans will see some of the best entertainment ever as the rival factions battle for public favor. Note: John Cyclone Macalpine became the promoter for the AWA not Sam Diamond. 4/2/62 Austin, MN @ Armory AWA Champion Mr. M beat Tiny Mills Doug Gilbert & Eddie Sharkey beat Pretty Boy Collins & Nikita Kalmikoff 2/3 Eddie Sharkey beat Pretty Boy Collins 4/3/62 Garner, IA AWA Champion Mr. M vs Tiny Mills Bob Geigel vs ?

Woods beat Vachon in 7:42 2. Vachon beat Woods in 24:35 3. Woods pinned Vachon in 33:57 but had both of his feel on the top ring ropes for leverage Reggie Parks drew Haru Sasaki Mitsu Arakawa beat Jack Pesek in 13:30 Billy Red Cloud beat Jim Wehba in 12:35 Att: 4,581 Notes from historian Tim Hornbaker: Mr Wrestling unmasked before the match with Vachon revealing “Tim Woods of Michigan State.” Promoter Joe Dusek indicated Mr Wrestling was a “former Big Ten and Pan-American Games titlist.” The Omaha World Herald’s article states “Mr Wrestling Lifts Mask, Then Whips Dog For Title.” Woods would no longer wear his mask for local bouts. The Tuesday, January 11, 1966 promotional piece in the Omaha World Herald said that “Mr Wrestling lifted Mad Dog’s title” last Saturday. The Friday, January 14, 1966 edition of the Omaha World Herald reported that AWA President Stanley Blackburn reviewed the match between Vachon and Woods and “ruled that bout no contest after evidence was presented that the ex-masked man got the decisive third fall with both feet braced in the ring ropes.” Thus, Vachon was still AWA Champion. 1/8/66 Minneapolis TV Larry Hennig & Harley Race beat Tank Morgan & Hector Vargas Mighty Igor Vodik beat Great Dane Steve Druk beat Francisco Rios 1/8/66 Chicago, IL @ International Amphitheatre Congo Death Match for NWA Title, WWA Title not on the line NWA Champion Gene Kiniski beat WWA Champion Dick the Bruiser with help from Johnny Valentine Johnny Valentine no contest Wilbur Snyder Verne Gagne beat Chris Markoff The Assassins beat Dennis Hall & Huey Long The Crusher beat Prince Pullins Jose Bentancourt beat Boris Volkoff 1/8/66 Owatonna, MN Mighty Igor Vodik beat Larry Hennig Larry Heiniemi beat Chris Tolos dq Eddie Sharkey beat Gene Anderson 1/9/66 St Paul, MN @ Auditorium AWA Champion Mad Dog Vachon beat Mighty Igor Vodik via pin Handicap match The Crusher beat Chris Markoff & Steve Druk Reggie Parks beat Larry Hennig dq Harley Race beat Eddie Sharkey Chris Tolos beat Ivan Kalmikoff Larry Heiniemi beat Bob Morgan Att: 8,846 1/10/66 Minneapolis TV Larry Hennig & Harley Race beat Great Dane & Francisco Rios Mighty Igor Vodik beat Raul Alitore Chris Tolos beat Hector Vargas Eddie Sharkey beat Chris Markoff 1/11/66 Sioux City, IA Verne Gagne beat AWA Champion Mad Dog Vachon Mr Wrestling Tim Woods beat Haru Sasaki dq Billy Red Cloud beat Bob Brown Mitsu Arakawa drew Reggie Parks 1/12/66 Beatrice, NE @ City Auditorium Indian Chain Match Billy Red Cloud beat Mad Dog Vachon Nebraska Tag Team Champions Mitsu Arakawa & Haru Sasaki drew Mr Wrestling & Reggie Parks when the time limit expired during the rest period between the 2nd and 3rd falls 1.

AWA Tag Team Champions Larry Hennig & Harley Race beat Reggie Parks & Mighty Igor Vodik 2/3 Haru Sasaki beat Ivan Kalmikoff in 15:20 Mitsu Arakawa drew Billy Red Cloud Att: 4,743 Referee: Charlie Triggs More Notes from Historian Tim Hornbaker: The article in the Omaha World Herald stated “Title Returns to Mad Dog,” even though in the article it indicated Vachon was “the champ.” So, Tim Woods did gain a tainted victory, and may have claimed the AWA Title for a few days, but Blackburn voided out the switch and Vachon remained the official titleholder.

Gadaski & Leroy Hirsch Billy Red Cloud beat Mike Murlaski Killer Kowalski beat Paul Caruso & Johnny Zenda Reggie Parks beat Kenny Jay The Winnipeg Free Press Friday, October 7, 1966 from a column called Time Out with Maurice Smith A New Promoter Recently it was mentioned in this column that Alex Turk after 22 years in the game, had given up promoting wrestling in Winnipeg. But local mat enthusiasts will still be able to enjoy their favorite sport for Al Tomko, himself a wrestler of note, has decided to get into the business of promoting and wuill stage his first card October 17. Tomko will work with the Minneapolis based group headed by Vern Gagne and Wally Karbo. These two men by the way, are probably the largest promoters of wrestling in the United States. They provide matches for such cities as Milwaukee, Chicago, Denver, Omaha and many other smaller centres in the mid-west United States. In addition, they recently took over in Montreal, once one of the greatest hotbeds for wrestling in North America. Gagne is also in the boxing business. He’s manager of Ron Marsh, a young heavyweight out of Kansas, who has built up quite an impressive record within the last year. The other night in Milwaukee, he won his 13th fight. Most of his victories have come via the TKO route. Gagne thinks his man is just about ready to take on the likes of George Chuvalo and might be interested in promoting the fight here. Marsh, by the way, is unique among the ranks among professional boxers in that he holds a Bachelor of Science degree from the University of Kansas. He often is a substitute teacher in Minneapolis High Schools. 10/8/66 Minneapolis TV Verne Gagne beat George Gadaski The Alaskan beat Frankie Hester Killer Kowalski beat Kenny Jay Reggie Parks & Billy

The arena normally seats 11,000 for wrestling. The Amphitheatre record is 12,011 set Dec. 9, 1960- when standing room was permitted. The headline event is what Luce calls a “natural” attraction pitting world champion Verne Gagne against 27 year old Blackjack Lanza, a virtual unknown preliminary wrestler until a year ago. Lanza is undefeated in 12 straight Chicago bouts beginning Aug. 11, 1967. Lanza has the statistical edge. He outweighs Gagne by 44 pounds, 276 to 232, and is taller by seven inches. In Chicago bouts this year Lanza has beaten Wilbur Snyder, The Crusher, Igor Vodik, Big Luke and Pat O’Connor in that order. It will be the first time Gagne has ever wrestled Lanza. No idea which newspaper published the above article.
