O'DELL WRESTLING, NOT MANAGING
October 31, 1964
59 YEARS AGO
JESSE JAMES
The HOMER O'DELL gang may find their Halloween to be a haunting one tonight at the LEXINGTON YMCA when they face THE KENTUCKIANS, TINY ANDERSON and BIG BOY BROWN, and their partner, hero GEORGE BECKER.
It's tonight's big main event.
Last Saturday night, O'DELL, after losing one fall to BECKER, tucked tail and ran like a scalded dog, bringing an abrupt ending to their match. Tonight, the 'COLONEL' will have his two rule breaking men, BRONCHO LUBICH and ALDO BOGNI, to cower behind during their SIX MAN TAG TEAM MATCH. O'DELL will need that protection in the best-of-three falls match, as BECKER wants another piece of HOMER's hide for his taking a powder last time. THE KENTUCKIANS have promised to look after BOGNI and LUBICH.
Another big crowd is expected to witness this big contest, as well as the three fine supporting matches on the card.
DOUG GILBERT will test PEDRO ZAPATA.
RUDY KAYE faces THE BEAST. *
JESSE JAMES squares off against GEORGE 'TWO TON' HARRIS in the 8:15 opener.
