SIX MAN tag team action headlines tonight's WRESTLING card at the LEXINGTON YMCA.

The 'FLYING SCOTTS', GEORGE and SANDY, will be joined by equally popular LUTHER LINDSAY to test the power of an arrogant brutal threesome consisting of THE MISSOURI MAULER, PAMPERO FIRPO and GEORGE 'TWO TON' HARRIS.

Another tag team battle welcomes the great Indian team of BOBBY RED CLOUD and CHIEF LITTLE EAGLE back to town to meet the ruffian duo of JIM OSBORNE and the mysterious masked man THE MUMMY.

Both tag matches will be settled under the best two-out-of-three falls stipulation.

Girl wrestles are also scheduled when popular PENNY BANNER faces long-time nemesis TAMMY JONES.

GREG PETERSON will face PANCHO VALDEZ in the 8:15 opener.

LEXINGTON, NORTH CAROLINA

54 Years Ago

A wrestling card slated last Saturday night and called off because of heavy snow is set for tonight (almost intact) at the LEXINGTON YMCA.

The Indian team of BOBBY RED CLOUD and CHIEF LITTLE EAGLE will face the rugged duo of LARS and GENE ANDERSON in the evening's best-of-three falls main event.

The supporting affair also remains the same as ABE JACOBS and LUTHER LINDSAY face the hispanic team of PANCHO VALDEZ and THE MATADOR. This, too, is for the best two-out-of-three falls.

BOB NANDOR will face "BULLDOG" LEE HENNING as originally scheduled.

The only change from last week will send young CHUCK CONLEY against a newcomer from Texas, PAUL JONES.

BOLO'S BACK

                                                                           July 7, 1958

                                                                                   64 Years Ago

                                                                   CHARLOTTE, NORTH CAROLINA

The return of the infamous masked man of wrestling, the GREAT BOLO, will headline the wrestling program set for tonight at PARK CENTER.

The GREAT BOLO, the vicious masked man who has withstood all efforts to defeat and / or unmask him, has been matched tonight against GORY GUERRERO.

The handsome GUERRERO was BOLO's first victim in Charlotte some two months ago, and GORY has been aching for a rematch ever since. He'll get one hour and two-out-of-three falls to gain revenge.

Also getting co-feature status is a best-of-three-falls, one-hour tag match with Indian stars BILLY TWO RIVERS and CHIEF DON EAGLE taking on ruffians IKE EAKINS and HANS SCHNABEL.

Promoter JIM CROCKETT figures this one to produce some of the wildest and wooliest tag team action seen here in months.

The prelim card has two singles bouts, with one sending fan favorite 'IRISH' MIKE CLANCY lowering the boom against 'BAD' BOB CORBY.

The opening contests matches GYPSY JOE against TINKER TODD. Neither of these men respect the rules of wrestling, so anything could happen in this one.

The first bout in the AIR-CONDITIONED PARK CENTER gets underway at 8:15 p.m.

LEXINGTON, NORTH CAROLINA

Rule breakers PAMPERO FIRPO and THE MISSOURI MAULER, angry in being disqualified in their match here last week, will return to the LEXINGTON YMCA tonight for wrestling action and plan to take out their anger on fresh opponents GEORGE and SANDY SCOTT.

It may not be so easy for the bully team. THE FLYING SCOTTS, daring and spectacular and former WORLD TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS, have vowed to tame the big and rowdy FIRPO / MAULER duo.

The tag team from the Orient, HARU SASAKI and P.Y. CHUNG, face the newcomer combo of handsome DENNIS HALL and ROGER KIRBY. Female fans have quickly taken to these two youngsters.

Both team matches will be wrestled under the stipulation of the best-of-three falls.

Returning after an absence of some time, GEORGE 'TWO TON' HARRIS will meet fellow rule breaker TONY ROMANO.

JERRY LONDON will clash with the mysterious masked man, THE MUMMY, in the evening's 8:15 opener.
