CHARLOTTE'S PARK CENTER ACTION

 It's difficult and somewhat sad to realize that this JIM CROCKETT PROMOTIONS

wrestling card at CHARLOTTE'S PARK CENTER occurred nearly sixty-four years ago...

THE AMAZING ZUMA


THE GREAT BOLO


HAYSTACK CALHOUN


'IRISH' MIKE CLANCY


LARRY 'CRUSHER' HAMILTON


May 3, 1960

CHARLOTTE, NORTH CAROLINA

Two of the hottest wrestling personalities to hit the Charlotte grappling scene in many years will collide tonight at the PARK CENTER to settle who is better.

It's THE AMAZING ZUMA, the acrobatic South American, going against the hooded menace, THE GREAT BOLO. They'll get one hour, two of three falls, to decide the winner.

The semiwindup has JACKIE FARGO and DON STEVENS tackling rugged RAY VILLMER and 'IRISH' MIKE CLANCY in tag team warfare.

The main prelim has 600-pounder HAYSTACK CALHOUN going against the nasty German KARL VON HESS and the 8:15 opener sends BOB BOYER against LARRY 'CRUSHER' HAMILTON *


LARRY 'CRUSHER' HAMILTON later wrestled as THE MISSOURI MAULER.
