GERMANS BATTLE NATIVE AMERICANS

                                                                   January 22, 1966

LEXINGTON, NORTH CAROLINA

VON STROHEIM


SUNI WAR CLOUD
(looks a bit like Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson, doesn't he?)


'The Big O' BOB ORTON SR.


BILLY TWO RIVERS


BRUTE BERNARD and SKULL MURPHY


A rough and rugged pair of German brothers will make their LEXINGTON YMCA debut tonight in the main event of professional wrestling action.

The big bruisers, KURT and HENRY VON STROHEIM, who tip the scales at a combined 510 pounds, will face a very popular duo of Indian mat stars in the guise of BILLY TWO RIVERS and SUNI WAR CLOUD.

The current SOUTHERN HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION, 'The Big O' BOB ORTON will face newcomer KARL GOTCH in a non-title match. A GOTCH victory would propel him to the top of the list of contenders for the title.

More tag team action is slated as fan favorites STEVE BOLUS and OMAR ATLAS will collide with the Irish / Canadian skinhead bully team of BRUTE BERNARD and SKULL MURPHY, who are returning to the area after a long absence.

Both tag team matches are set for the best-of-three falls.

Another singles match will open the card at 8:15.
