I mentioned elsewhere that these results were the result of random searches on the Google News Archives. If anyone has these listings (some results, others the lineups from articles promoting upcoming events)I'd be interested in knowing if they are new to certain cities/regions or if it's ground already covered. The day-to-day dedicated researchers like Becky, Claw and Ron have their methods, and I don't claim to have that patience. But I like to rummage around and would do a bit more if there are any gems unearthed here. Have a look: Nevada, MO August 22, 1987 Sheldon High School Central States Champion Rufus R.

Random searches on Google are a good start to find newspapers which might have results. There's no easy to search list of all newspapers on there. The biggest problem with Google News is that the search engine is pretty poor. It misses a large percentage of hits compared to the Newspaper Archive search. Also, a good percentage of Google scans are rotated 90 degrees, and these are never picked up by the search engine. With the Fort Scott cards I'm researching, maybe 10-15% of them appeared in searches. I'm just scrolling through day by day looking for wrestling ads. |

Be glad that your newspapers are in Antiqua and not in Fraktur. The few newspaper archives over here don't have any search features as scanning software can't recognize Fraktur yet and you can guess how bad some paper material is. There is an Austrian (not Australian  ) archive that even has newspapers from Prague and Budapest and yet I've been only able to find one "tournament" of results until now. Of course I can't ignore the fact that maybe wrestling was never popular for those upper class newspapers.By the way - is there any interest in Vienna 1908 results?  . |

In case no one's noticed, there has been another major update to Google News Archives. It looks like there's a bunch more coming, too, as when you browse the papers, there are major gaps. The Albany Herald (GA) had weekly matches off and on through the decades. It's a paper I haven't researched past the early 1940s as they didn't cover what I research (segregated high school sports; the paper's owner was an ardent segregationist). If anyone wants a specific paper to research, that should be a good one. They did cover wrestling decently. Using Cornette's book as a guide, I have found mid-1980s ads. |

My guess is he might have wrestled Nick and Heenan in a handicap bout. I can't see the two of them dropping the match to Buck and Tito. I did search half-heartedly to see if they covered the results in the following day's paper besides their photo gallery on the weekend and didn't see anything... although during the days in between they did highlight one or two photos that didn't make the weekend edition. Was there so much going on in the thriving metropolis of Spencer, Iowa that they couldn't have someone do an actual report? Grr. |

CAT DARKENS SAN DIEGO Tuesday, December 12, 1978 SAN DIEGO (UPI) The cat that darkened downtown San Diego must have needed more than nine lives to survive the jolt. Electric power to several city blocks was cut Tuesday night. Extra police were called in to direct traffic at darkened intersections. At the San Diego Coliseum, lights went out just as "Black Gordman" and "Great Goliath" were about to square off in a wrestling match, and the 1,538 spectators had to be ushered out with the aid of flashlights. The outage was caused by a cat that climbed to the top of a 69,000-volt transformer at the San Diego Gas & Electric Substation downtown, said Fire Capt. Claude Bell. A downtown merchant said he watched the cat climb up and diappear in a "big blue light" that looked like "we were being visited by someone from outer space." |

At a professional wrestling match attended by both teams Monday night, Indiana players got in some verbal bombs during a match between ex-USC player Del Wilkes and Scott Steiner, who wrestled at Big 10 school Michigan. Steiner was a last-minute replacement for The Golden Lion, a former Indiana football player who failed to show. When Wilkes took off his robe and showcased his muscular physique, Indiana's players collectively shouted, "Steroids, steroids, steroids." Wilkes grabbed a microphone, pointed at the players and said, "Maybe it would help you punks if you used some steroids. Everybody knows the Big 10 is just the Big One. And you sure aren't the one."

Verne McCullough Ira Dern vs. Dick Raines Dean Detton vs. Charley Mason Bobby Sampson vs. Ralph Morley Al Newman vs. Texas Jack Ray DICK RAINES IS FINALLY SIGNED FOR DERN BOUT Manager Sandow Wants Big Purse For His Protege Here. Deseret News, Tuesday, May 26, 1931 Dick Raines has come to terms with R. Verne McCullough, local enterpreneur of grappling, and the Texas cowboy will wrestle Ira Dern Friday night in the main event on the regular weekly wrestling card at the Arena. The signing of Raines was completed Monday after more than a week of bartering by telegraph. Billy Sandow, manager of Strangler Lewis, who is grooming the Texan as the next heavyweight champioon of the Sandow stable, was exceedingly reluctant to allow his protege to risk life and limb on Dern's airplane spin, unless the renumeration was exceedingly worth while. McCullough, self-styled champion Scotchman, finally had to yield and Raines will get the biggest purse ever paid a wrestler for a match here, with the exception of Don George. Dern should be more than a match for Sandow's newest phenom, especially since he's called off his customary mid-week tour of the Pacific northwest. By staying home this week and pointing carefully for the Raines match, Dern should be able to put on one of his greatest exhibitions. He will need to if he holds this fellow in check. The remainder of the card as announced Monday brings out Dean Detton against Charley Mason; Bobby Sampson vs. Ralph Morley and Al Newman against Texas Jack Ray. ************ |

Despite the large capacity, the building was incredibly constructed with only 12 luxury boxes and no way to add more. This rendered the building obsolete in the long run and required the construction of a new arena downtown. I attended NCAA basketball tourney games at the Coliseum in 2005 and it was basically a rudimentary 1970s arena with an enormous capacity. Its design, even in the late 1980s, should never have been approved. The original Charlotte Coliseum, with its 9,600 capacity, still exists and hosted a UFC Fight Night card earlier this year. Friday, March 7, 1975 This outlaw promotion ran against The Sheik's Detroit based promotion in 1975. The roster had tired of Sheik's autocratic rule and poor payoffs, so they opened up against him. Some wrestling wars increase business, but this one just divided the existing pie into smaller pieces and played a role in the Detroit promotion's ultimate demise.

Nick's other sibling Dennis wrestled for a short time using the names Dennis O'Brien and Dennis Bockwinkel. Dennis was a very troubled guy from all accounts and died at a rather young age. |

All right I think I finally got all of this stuff in one file. Some listings I'm sure I already have but there are many listings I don't have. Heckuva job OFG. Keep up the good work. |

I keep making all these mini folders of search items as time allows; I tend to try and isolate a person and a time frame I believe they were active. I have a bunch of links that I click on initially, then email myself the links so I have them all at the ready for when I get a few minutes to delve into them. Some names give me ideas for others to search. Guys like Lou Plummer, who I had heard about as late as the late 50s, have data going back to his heyday of the early 30s. I have upcoming searches for Bibber McCoy, Tony Marino, Rocky Johnson, Great Mephisto, Jack Vansky, Nell Stewart, Ethel Brown, Hacksaw Jim Duggan, and more from the pride of Butternut, WI, Charles "Midget" Fischer. Also, have a wide range of results from searches done under the standard ad copy of 'opening bout', 'semi windup' and 'main event'. I'd be curious to know if any of the Florida results I've chosen are new to your files, claw. I tend to gloss over a lot of the listings if they were major FLA towns because I believe so much of it has already been documented theru MOTH's Pick A Card feature on KM. I could be persuaded to include more Florida stuff if there apppears like more could be mined from the archives. On some of the finishes for multi-fall bouts I have cut back on listing the holds and specifics because they start to look so similar. "A hook scissors and body press" finish doesn't seem right for example, as I can't wrap my brain around how one leads to the other. I'm more concerned with fall times and eccentric happenings that seem relevant. Some historian I am. I am trying to get an idea of the repertoires of some of these old timers by the depth of these match descriptions. In one result, Dirty Dick Raines finished off an opponent using what sounds much like the Oklahoma Stampede, crashing an opponent's back off multiple turnbuckles before delivering his famed backbreaker finale. This is around 1931, long before Bill Watts or Steve Williams adopted the tactic. Some of the creative finishes of the day are prototypes of what might be seen today or during my time as a fan, and that tends to bring a smile amid the endless quest to find new material. Claw, let me know if you are finding a region or city that has a lot of new coverage from these results and I might start isolating searches that way at some point. Also curious if anyone else has taken anything away from this long list. Maybe it's about time to close this thread out and start anew. . |

OFG, I still have to edit the results. That will take a long time. Many of the Florida listings you posted were not posted in MOTH's Pick A Florida card thread. So that stuff is great. Anything you post with Thesz on the card from any era is terrific. Sames goes for any of the National Wrestling Alliance Champions pre-1986. O'Connor. Rogers. Hutton. Kiniski. The Funk Brothers. Race. Rhodes. Watson. Brisco. Flair. Or any listings billing Carpentier as World Champion. As for me personally, anything with Nick Bockwinkel, Wilbur Snyder, Mad Dog Vachon, Dick The Bruiser, Moose Cholak, Verne Gagne, Ox Baker, Art Thomas etc etc is wonderful. Basically the guys I grew up watching week after week on TV. |

Just did a search under the phrase "six man tag" and found a boatload of results that start to hit their stride in the mid 50s... in some towns they make a big deal about it being the first match of its kind locally. Odd that you might not get a result show up based on an individual's name, but you will see something with a phrase unique to the biz. Seems like a lot more variety of newspapers showed up on this search as well. The digging continues. |

A few corrections on the newspaper spellings. George (Kavo) Koverly drew. Texas Babe Sharkey 45:00 It's Kayo Koverly. Ron Witmer has some interesting Washington DC clippings about Koverly. I became a big fan of the guy just from reading the clippings. Bock Estes vs. Al Getz It's Balk Estes. I came across Estes yesterday on Tim Hornbaker's site. 9/1/50 Houston, TX @ City Auditorium NWA Champion Lou Thesz beat George Bollas 2-0 Handicap Match Killer Kowalski beat Al Lovelock & Sonny Myers Kowalski had to beat both in 30:00 Verne Gagne beat Black Guzman Billy Varga beat Bob Wagner dq Rito Romero beat Balk Estes by decision Promoter: Morris Sigel referee: Paul Boesch main event Notes: Varga was making his return. He has been on the West Coast making movies, "his latest being with Bob Hope in the Lemon Drop Kid." Bollas was a major heel at this point in Houston. Estes was said to be making his local debut. The Houston Post said "for once in his reign as champion [Thesz] was popular with the crowd." An overenthusiastic fan from the crowd tried to get at Bollas, delivering a "Sunday punch" on the wrestler. The Gagne-Guzman match stole the show, and Gagne's win was considered an upset. He was the "favorite throughout." Estes later became a promoter in Indiana. He was involved with Jim Barnett & Johnny Doyle. |

Robert was to have met Joe Cox in the main bout here but, since Robert failed to live up to regulations and has not yet sent in his fine to the proper mat authorities, Promoter Tunney has taken him off the card and substituted Thesz. Thesz and Cox will meet in the main attraction, Frank Taylor and Lee Henning meet in the semi-final, and "Sandy" O'Donnell has ben matched with Jerry Monohan, the latter replacing Harry Kent. ALL THROUGH HERE Montreal, July 27- (CP) Yvon Robert declined today to accept a rematch in Ottawa with Dynamite Joe Cox and declared: "I am through with wrestling in Ottawa, also through with the wrestling of Joe Cox anywhere." The attitude of the Montreal heavyweight is a development of his meeting with Cox in Ottawa earlier this week when Robert was fined $100 by the Ontario Athletic Comminssion for attacking referee Fred Borguignon after Cox had been awarded the first fall. "It was very unfair," Robert said. "Cox didn''t have me pinned, or anything like it. I protested this to the referee and he told me to mind my own business. One word led to another and I swung on him, and knocked him down. While I was battling with the referee, Cox swung on me. So I turned on him and smacked him a couple of good ones." MAY QUIT ENTIRELY "I want no part of Ottawa, nor of Cox. In fact, I am thinking of quitting the wrestling game entirely. It's getting to be more fighting than wrestling, and too much favoritism by referees." TO TAKE UP BOXING Montreal, July 28 (CP) Yvon Robert, idol of many a Montreal wrestling fan, announced during the weekend that he will enter into training in preparation for a few boxing bouts. Robert retired to his suburban camp for training, and said he was turning down all wrestling offers for the time being. YVON ROBERT, JOE COX SIGN FOR FIST FIGHT Montreal Gazette- Friday, August 2, 1940 With Yvon Robert finally signed to make his boxing debut against his rugged rival of the wrestling mat, Joe Cox, and negotiations almost closed to secure Jack Dempsey as the third man in the ring, promoter Edddie Quinn turned back to more familiar ground last night, and went campaigning among th wrestlers to geta supporting cast for his boxing wrestlers. He signed up Lou Thesz, holder of Montreal Commission recognition as world's champion, who has wrestled hgere only once in defence of the title he easily won from Leo Numa. It is likely that Ernie Dusek will be the opponent for Thesz. Dusek was the original "champion" of the present local cycle, winning that honor after Cy Williams had declined to defend his championship, then losing it to Robert. Only hitch in the Cox-Robert match is expected to be straightened out today. Since knocking out his last victim, Jack Dempsey has been in the south, and Quinn was unable to reach him last night. Robert and Cox are scheduled for 10 rounds in a regular boxing match. ******************** Saturday, September 26, 1964 Ambridge High School Auditorium- Ambridge, PA 8:45pm Promoter: Alex Scassa European title: Waldo Von Erich (C) vs. Chief White Owl Bobby (Hurricane) Hunt vs. Johnny Powers Cowboy Bill Watts vs. Killer Joe Abbey Johnny DeFazio & Ace Freeman vs. Duke Hoffman & Baron Gattoni ******************* Thursday, June 25, 1970 Auditorium- Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada 8:30pm Two referees/North American title: Abdullah the Butcher (C) vs. Carlos Belafonte Niccola Pacciano vs. Sweet Daddy Siki Bob (Bruiser) Sweetan vs, Dan Kroffat Dave Ruhl vs. Danny Babich Bobby Christy vs. Gil Hayes Gorilla Marconi vs. Jerry Christy ************************* Friday, December 12, 1975 Civic Arena- Pittsburgh, PA 8:30pm Spiros Arion & Superstar Billy Graham vs. Bruno Sammartino & Dom DeNucci Irish Pat Barrett vs. Baron Scicluna Donna Christantello & Toni Rose vs. Sue Green & Sheila Sheppard Johnny DeFazio vs. Mike Paidusas Manuel Soto vs. The Executioner Frank Holtz vs. Jim Grabmire **************** Tuesday, June 1, 1971 National Guard Armory- Florence, AL 8:30pm Dr. Death 1 and 2 NC Gary Martin & Big Bad John Pepe Lopez & Dandy Donovan drew Dennis Hall & Young Atlas *********************** Friday, March 6, 1964 Armory-Spokane, WA 8:15pm Promoter: Harry Elliott Luther Lindsey & Shag Thomas vs. Art (Boom Boom) Mahalik & The Destroyer plus two warmup bouts featuring the tag match participants Opening bout: Pierre Duranton vs. Rocky Colombo ***************** Thursday, March 7, 1974 Owosso Armory- Owosso, MI 8pm Bobo Brazil vs. Killer Brooks World Tag Team title: Kurt Von Hess & Karl Von Shotz vs. pampero Firpo & Flying Fred Curry Tony Marino vs. Kabooki (Ben Justice is listed in newspaper ad as Marino's opponent) Gypsy Joe vs. Sonny King ************* Saturday, January 31, 1959 Memorial Auditorium- Spartanburg, SC George Becker & Bobby Christie & Jerry Christie beat Al Smith 7 John Smith & Johnny Heideman 2-1 1-John Smith pinned Jerry Christie 11:31 2-Bobby Christie beat John Smith 6:51 3-Jerry Christie beat John Smith 12:49 Ethel Johnson beat Marva Scott 2-1 (won 2nd and 3rd falls) Ramon Fernandez beat Marco Polo in 17:37 ***************** Saturday, July 19, 1958 Armory-Bowling Green, KY 8:45pm The Mexican Ape Man, Dick Lever & Charro Azteca beat Dan O'Shocker, Gene Bowman & Charlie Laye 2-0 1-Ape Man beat Laye with a body hug 2-Ape Man beat Bowman with headbutts Gene Bowman beat Dick Lever Mexican Ape Man beat Danny O'Shocker Charlie Laye beat Charro Azteca *************** Friday, February 11, 1938 Melody Mill Ballroom- Dubuque, IA Jack Curtis vs. Charles (Midget) Fischer 2/3 90:00 Bucky O'Neill vs. Farmer Mack paul Miller vs. Bullyboy Kogut ***************** Saturday, July 17, 1976 Municipal Auditorium- Junction City, KS 8:30pm Cnetral States title: Handsome Harley Race (c) vs. Bulldog Bob Brown Tag team titles: Super Intern & Tank Patton (C) vs. Akio Sato & Mike George Omar Atlas vs. John Foley **************** |

Saturday, April 10, 1943 Pearl Street Arena- Eugene, OR 8:30pm Matchmaker: Don Owen Pete Belcastro vs. Jack Lipscomb Pierre LaBelle vs. Bulldog Jackson Merle Peters vs. Billy McEuin GEORGE WAGNER DEFENDS PRO MAT SPORT By Buford Sommers Eugene Register-Guard- Friday, April 9, 1943 PORTLAND, Ore. April 9 (U.P.) Is wrestling an essential industry? George Wagner, Portland, Eugene and coastwise matman, will debate this issue with anybody and at catchweights. After an hour in the ring struggling with a strong man, Wagner thinks nothing of stepping over the ropes and into an empty auditorium to tackle an intellectual problem. Darkly good looking without the mangled ears that mar many of his corades in arms or the gnarked nose of the boxer. Wagner naturally defends the affirmative of this burning issue. "Wrestling turns out the best soldiers," Wagner begins, stating his major premise. "For hand-to-hand combat, you can't beat wrestling tactics." Suiting action to the word, he's got you in a quick wristlock. There's no comeback for that one. "All branches of the service teach wrestling tactics for commando use," he goes on. "Jack Dempsey has a corps of wrestlers as instructors in the navy. There are wrestlers in all branches of service." Name two, you say, to offer some show of opposition. "There's Gus Sonnenberg, Fibber McCoy, Jesse James, Joe Smolinski, Danny McShane and Billy Vargo," he says, naming six. Is a toehold better than a left jab in persona relationships with a Jap or German? "You wouldn't bother with toeholds on a battlefield," Wagner explains patiently. "You use quick deadly holds with which you can kill a man. See?" And he's got you around the neck in some kind of choking, smothering throat-crushing clutch. "Dempsey believes that, in an open match, a good wrestler will beat a good boxer every time, and Max Baer agrees with him. And I agree with them. "Hand-to-hand combat depends on all the holds and tricks used in modern wrestling, jiu-jistu, judo and anti-judo." Shouldn't wrestlers be in the war instead of in the ring? "I'll soon be in the war, if that's what you mean. I'm in 1-A now, and I've been in war industry, ship building and repair, for the last two years." Do you have to be a big guy to rassle the enemy? "It helps, but you don't have to be. A trained man can toss around a much heavier man when he knows the laws of balance and leverage." Then, quick as a fox, he's got you in a light but firm grip that has you yipping with surprise. No rebuttal. |

Check-in time: Anyone getting any gems mined from this thread? I know I've probably covered some of the same ground of late as specific threads like St. Joseph. I have probably 500 more news links to sort through yet so stay tuned. I am quite sure there are a few dupes if you look closely; I am almost positive that is the case as I type them up, but I'm too lazy to pore back through and confirm it. |

What dbaker typed. I am so far behind on things right now, it's ridiculous. I haven't even started on Florida Mat Wars for 1945 and the 1973 issue is coming soon. Clip Corner sent me a CD Rom of clippings and I've barely scratched the surface of it. Kriss has posted research I haven't gotten to yet. Same with your research OFG. And with carlton st's latest research. And Hammer To Fall's latest Georgia research. Plus AndyO always has stuff I don't. While researching Bruiser, I've been correcting and adding to my AWA and WWA research. Plus I have some St. Louis questions concerning different dates from Larry Matysik's research and the research done by historians in the two volume book on St. Louis. I'll eventually post a topic at both WC and KM about that. |

okay- thanks for the feedback. The hits are on par with claw's DTB career thread so it must be well-visited. As mentioned earlier, it's great to find multiple results with search phrases or words like 'six man tag' or 'a real corker'. I like the brevity and ease of some results, and appreciate the narrative style of others, where the match twists almost put you in the crowd, years before you were born. |

I will spare you some time OFG, Stampede for 1970 I had done a few years ago, im missing a few things that i "do" have, just haven't uploaded to my site yet. http://superstarbillygraham.net/cities/stampede/index.html Hate to see you do extra work When I researched Stampede for 1970 5 or 6 years ago I came up with the following cities who ran weekly: Lethbridge Saskatoon Regina Calgary Edmonton On tuesdays these cities ran every other week: Medicine Hat Red Deer I ended up with 3 to 4 empty dates a month for 1970. I am thinking two small cities that might have ran on a every other week cycle. And I do not know if they had a certain day of the week off with no event happening. Red Deer and Medicine Hat didnt start running the circut in 1970 till march. I am unsure of what cities were used in January and February. Wayne Coleman couldnt help and a few other workers I tried to pick their brains couldnt remember the other cities either. I guess i could always try to contact Abby to see if he remembers anything.

Thanks Ron- Those new additions from Canadian papers cover a lot of ground, so I'll try to steer around 1970. In a lot of cases I wonder if I have stumbled onto 'new finds' for a particular category. In doing some spot checking, I found one of the Ohio/West Virginia shows that GCW was doing doesn't show up on Georgia Wrestling History. Today I posted a GCW card in Gainesville, Florida of all spots. |

Promoter Herb Owen is using the plan to settle a dispute between the three grapplers, none of whom hold themselves in the preliminary class, all classing themselves as main-eventers. While some critics believe there is more truth than fiction in the belief that such men as Dude Chick and George Wagner are of headline calibre, it will be up to the applause of the fans to determine what two men will view in Thursday's finale McShain Fears Goodrich Match Owen originally scheduled Danny McShain to meet Jimmy Goodrich in the main event and then booked Wagner to meet Prince Ilaki in the semi-final,. under Wagner's protest. When the local cauliflower impresario attempted to give Chick a preliminary assignment against babe Small he found unmovable opposition. The Colorado cow-puncher flatly refused to wrestle anything but a main event and then Wagner followed by giving notice that he would not appear. Owen's only alternative was to use his quickly devised spectator plan. There have been many rumors that McShain wasn't at all happy about his match with Goodrich, the senastional newcomer from Oklahoma. McShain, who filed formal protest on Elton Owen's reversed decision that gave Wagner a victory last week, wants to meet George in a return match. Critics said the Irish meanie was only trying to get out of his match with Goodrich, that he was afraid of the former Notre Dame grid star. And that appears why the McShain-Goodrich match will probably remain as the main event; fans believing that Goodrich will have a better chance of handling the villain a beating over the one-hour route. Wagner Risks Title Chance Wagner has nothing to gain and everything to lose by meeting Ilaki. The Arabian is one of the toughest mat customers in the business and a victory over Wagner will virtually ruin George's present chance of securing a coast light-heavyweight championship match with Herb Parks, current king. The opinion of local fans may be surprising, however, and force Wagner to meet Ilaki in the one-hour headline clash. It appears as though Chick and Small are certain to tangle in the opening engagement despite the fact that the Colorado ace is very popular here and that the skirmish is expected to be a Donneybrook. The six grapplers will enter the ring at 8:30 o'clock to vie in the "popularity" contest.
