LES THATCHER DEBUTS IN LEXINGTON
May 11, 1963
LEXINGTON, NORTH CAROLINA
Two big tag team matches will be co-featured for wrestling fans tonight at the LEXINGTON YMCA, starting at 8:15.
Partners THE GREAT BOLO and BOLO, the masked terror duo, meet a big and rough combination in the guises of TONY 'CRUSHER' ANGELO and big SWEDE HANSON in what must be billed as a 'BATTLE OF THE BULLIES' affair.
Popular brothers GEORGE and SANDY SCOTT go against the rugged duet of FRANK VALOIS and GEORGE 'CRYBABY' CANNON in the other tag battle.
Both of these matches are set for two-out-of-three falls.
Newcomer LES THATCHER will face the rowdy SONNY FARGO in singles competition, with one more match scheduled to open the card.

SALUTING CROCKETT STARS
One would have to go back sixty-five or more years to remember all of these superstars who appeared in JIM CROCKETT PROMOTIONS...Reluctantly, I admit I am one who qualifies...

SKINHEADS AND SCOTTS
July 25, 1964
LEXINGTON, NORTH CAROLINA
Two hero tag teams, victorious in wrestling competition at the LEXINGTON YMCA last Saturday night, will be back for more action tonight at 8:15.
GEORGE and SANDY SCOTT, the dashing brother combo known as THE FLYING SCOTTS, meet the brutal, skin-headed BRUTE BERNARD and SKULL MURPHY in tonight's main event action.
The SCOTTs won over THE GREAT BOLO and BOLO last week via disqualification.
'IRISH' MIKE CLANCY and NICK KOZAK, a splendid new combination and winners last week, tangle with Russian ruffian IVAN KAMEROFF and French-Canadian tough guy FRANK VALOIS in the other tag team match-up.
Both tag team affairs are set for the best two-out-of-three falls.
GEORGE BECKER, an all-time fan favorite, clashes with Mexico's PANCHO GOMEZ in a special one-fall encounter.
The opening bout of the evening will pit BOB BOYER against JOHN HEATH in what should be a great 'scientific' match.
