November 27, 1961
CHARLOTTE, NORTH CAROLINA
58 years Ago
The outstanding wrestling card of Autumn 1961 takes place in the Queen City tonight at the "Big Dome" CHARLOTTE COLISEUM.
The first bell will ring promptly at 8:15, and fourteen of the nation's most sought-after grapplers will spring into action.
The arrogant German team of KURT and KARL VON BRAUNER will mix with LENNY MONTANA and the polished PAT O'CONNOR in the best-of-three falls main event.
"GENTLEMAN" SAUL WEINGROFF, the crowd-baiting, cane-bearing handler of the European tandem, has been "barred" from ringside unless he wears a straight jacket.
"I'll be there," promises Saul. "I feel I am being persecuted by this handicap, but my boys want me there, so I won't let them down."
The complete line-up of wrestling stars is impressive.
THE GREAT BOLO, the brutal masked villain, is back and collides with SWEET DADDY SIKI.
RIP "THE PROFILE" HAWK and New Zealand's ABE JACOBS will test one another.
Another tag match will take place when the popular duo of GEORGE BECKER and CHIEF BIG HEART face THE MASKED MEDICS in another two-out-of-three falls battle.
A ladies match featuring Miss RITA CORTEZ is scheduled.
An autograph session will take place starting at 7:00.
Tickets can be purchased at the NATIONAL HAT SHOP in downtown Charlotte or at the Coliseum box office.
