A bunch of 1950s Al Haft Wrestling Cards with Nature Boy Buddy Rogers, Lou Thesz, Argentina Rocca, Verne Gagne, Joe Scarpello, Bob Geigel, etc.

The importance of this card in Hawaii is huge. It was the first show at HIC after Francis secured the promotion rights. It was the end of a promotion feud with Aloha Wrestling (backed by Shire).

In the 60's Killer Karl Kox and Fritz Von Eric beat Sam Steamboat and Eddie Graham for the Tag Tittles. Later there was a falling out between the two. I've heard all kinds of stories but who really knows the truth or cares at this point. After that my old man didn't really work…

Tuesday, December 1st 1908: In the ad section of local newspaper Dortmunder Zeitung not one, but two wrestling shows on the evening of the same day are advertised. And one of them is a women's tournament! But it gets even better...
On the same night at a different location in Dortmund another wrestling tournament would start. 15 men would fight for 2000 Mark prize money. Before the show started a burlesque ensemble performed.

The importance of this card in Hawaii is huge. It was the first show at HIC after Francis secured the promotion rights. It was the end of a promotion feud with Aloha Wrestling (backed by Shire).
4/30/65 Honolulu Lou Thesz beat Hard Boiled Haggerty to defend NWA World Title, King Curtis beat The Crusher, Luther Lindsay beat Mr. Fujiwara, Enrique & Alberto Torres beat Ripper Collins & Shoulders Newman, Lord Blears beat The Bandit, Nick Bockwinkel beat Gil Ane.
There has always been ridiculous stuff in wrestling. The difference between then and now is back then they still treated the ridiculous stuff like it was as serious as everything else on the show. Now everyone has to wink and nod & make sure you know "I don't believe this stuff"
From Becky Lynch’s new book. This is just sad. Although, I suppose if the people who work there don’t even know what Gorilla Monsoon did there anymore, or why the position was named for him, all the more reason why my book is necessary. #IrresistibleForce 🦍 ⛈️
