WEAVER AND ELLIS MEET THE BOLOS

                                                                   February 3, 1964

CHARLOTTE, NORTH CAROLINA

A return tag team match which throws the masked BOLOs against COWBOY BOB ELLIS and JOHNNY WEAVER headlines tonight's PARK CENTER wrestling card.

The hooded BOLO and THE GREAT BOLO gained a draw with ELLIS and WEAVER in an earlier match here when the time limit forced a one-hour stand-off. Tonight, there is NO TIME LIMIT, so a winner should be determined.

BOB and JOHNNY won the only fall recorded in the earlier contest, but could not apply the clincher before the sixty minutes ran out.

Tonight's semi-final could be a main event on any wrestling card at any location. It pairs the gigantic duo of THE KENTUCKIANS BIG BOY BROWN and TINY ANDERSON against wrestling's "BLONDE BOMBERS," RIP HAWK and SWEDE HANSON. This battle has a 45-minute time limit.

Both of tonight's tag matches are for the best two-out-of-three falls.

RIP HAWK and SWEDE HANSON

JESSE JAMES

GEORGE 'CRYBABY' CANNON

Six man tag team action, one of the wildest, rowdiest forms of professional wrestling, will head up tonight's big card at Charlotte's PARK CENTER. Bell time is 8:15.

Making up one trio of the big scuffle will be wrestling's 'BLONDE BOMBERS', RIP HAWK and SWEDE HANSON, who will be joined by GEORGE 'TWO TON' HARRIS, and opposing this rugged threesome will be fan favorites JOHNNY WEAVER, 'COWBOY' JESSE JAMES and JOHNNY 'RUBBERMAN' WALKER.

This main event is scheduled for the best two-out-of-three falls with a one hour time limit.

There's also standard four man tag action in the semifinal, this one matching two brother teams against one another, when JERRY and BOBBY CHRISTIE face rule breakers JOHN and CHRIS TOLOS, known as THE MICHIGAN WRECKING CREW.

The best-of-three falls will also settle this one.

In singles competition, PAT O'HARA meets the girth of GEORGE 'CRYBABY' CANNON, and popular REGGIE PARKS takes on JOE McCARTY, a newcomer from (honestly, he says) Tigertail, Tennessee.

Professional wrestling returns to the LEXINGTON YMCA with a bang tonight following a week's layoff because of the Fourth of July holiday.

A six man tag team match, with grudge ingredients thrown in, features the program.

Heroes GEORGE BECKER, RONNIE ETCHISON and CHIEF BIG HEART will battle top bullies ALDO BOGNI, BRONCHO LUBICH along with their arrogant manager, 'COLONEL' HOMER O'DELL, in a best-of-three falls encounter. This time out, O'DELL will don wrestling attire instead of the usual tuxedo and will participate as a legal wrestler.

'IRISH' MIKE CLANCY returns after a long absence and will meet tough Canadian FRANK VALOIS in the semi-final match of the evening.

Newcomer NICK KOZAK battles TOMMY O'TOOLE, and in the 8:15 opener, BOB BOYER faces PANCHO GOMEZ.
