Old School 101 - July 26, 2008

(courtesy of www.georgiawrestlinghistory.com)

JULY 26, 1940 (FRIDAY) – AUGUSTA, GA – AUGUSTA MUNICIPAL AUDITORIUM (Promoter – Unknown) > Dobie Osborne defeated Scotty Dawkins by disqualification > Jack Ross defeated Pat Newman (2-0) / Notes: It was reported that 1,800 were in attendance for this card. Jack Dempsey was the special referee for the match between Jack Ross and Pat Newman.

JULY 26, 1956 (THURSDAY) – AUGUSTA, GA – WILLIAM BELL AUDITORIUM (Tom Mahoney – Promoter / Georgia Championship Wrestling) > Billy Blassie defeated the Zebra Kid > Eddie Gossett defeated Red McIntyre > Women’s Match: Millie Stafford versus Catherine Simpson > World Tag Team Title Match: Eddie Gossett & Art Nelson* versus Don & Red McIntyre / Notes: Eddie Gossett & Art Nelson and Don & Red McIntyre were scheduled to wrestle each other, as were Millie Stafford and Catherine Simpson, but no results were reported after the card. It is unclear as to how Eddie Gossett & Art Nelson came to be recognized as World Tag Team Champions. The last reference we have shows Jack O’Brien & Pierre LaSalle defeating Roger Mackay & Jackie Nichols to win the title on March 23, 1956, in Atlanta. The Zebra Kid was initially ruled the winner of his match with Billy Blassie, but the decision was reversed by the referee.

1986 - Dusty Rhodes defeated Ric Flair
for the NWA Heavyweight Wrestling title

1998 - Event - IYH: Fully Loaded
Civic Center, Fresno, CA

1998 - Steve Austin & the Undertaker
