JUNE 27, 1964
LEXINGTON, NORTH CAROLINA
It's the opportunity of a wrestler's lifetime!
JOHNNY WEAVER, one of the most popular wrestlers in the Carolinas, will get a chance to capture the NWA WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP at the LEXINGTON YMCA tonight when he faces the champion LOU THESZ in the featured main event.
WEAVER is considered a top contender for the coveted championship due to his excellent record since arriving in the Carolinas about two years ago. THESZ is known as a champion who dodges no one.
"WEAVER is a very worthy opponent who can hold his own with anyone," said the World Champion. "I'll need to be at 100% to leave Lexington with the title, but I intend to do just that."
The title match is for the best-of-three falls with a one hour time limit.
Co-featuring the program will be a top tag team match between the bullish duo of BRUTE BERNARD and SKULL MURPHY facing the great Osage Indian star CHIEF BIG HEART and his new partner RONNIE ETCHINSON. Also for two-out-of-three falls, this match has a 45 minute time limit.
AAU champion TIM WOODS will be challenged by rugged PAT O'BRIEN in one preliminary match.
The 8:15 opener sends young ALEX MEDINA against the crafty TINKER TODD.
