1 COMMENT

  1. Crazymax,
    Thanks for this list! Good memories.
    You can add Wed. June 28, 1972 at 8 p.m., Wagner, South Dakota at the Armory: (I was there at age 15).
    Ramon Torres defeated George Gadaski
    Ivan Koloff defeated “Jumpin” Joe Scarpello
    Wahoo McDaniel defeated Larry Hennig (2 out of 3 falls)
    1st fall- Hennig, 2nd fall- McDaniel, 3rd fall- McDaniel
    The list shows Hennig vs. McDaniel that SAME day in Burlington, Iowa. If true, they must have flown to Wagner, SD or had an extremely early afternoon or morning match in Burlington, which is 490 miles from Wagner.
    5-19-72 The town should be spelled “Yankton”. It is in South Dakota.
    8-12-72 The county should be spelled “Hutchinson”.
    You could add Dec. 10, 1972, Rice Lake, Wisc., Ric Flair, in his first match, battled George Gadaski to a 10 min. draw.
