Top Mat Stars On Wrestling Card Friday
A giant triple main event wrestling card is scheduled for Friday night, August 18, at the City Auditorium with such stars as Farmer Jones, Art Nelson, D. McIntyre and other headliners slated to show their stuff.
Promoter Paul Jones has programmed another Southern heavyweight title match with Art Nelson of Windsor, Ontario, Canada defending his coveted title against former champion Don McIntyre of Atlanta.
Another scintillant used to excite fans for his rough and ready tactics is 237-pound Wild Bill Longson, three time world champion, who has battled the best in the business including Lou Thesz.
Longson will journey here from Salt Lake City to battle Bibber McCoy 250-pound mat assassin in one of the spotlight matches.
The sensational Farmer Jones, loveable Arkansas hillbilly, who has been the biggest here in months, meets a newcomer in Walt Sirois, a 228 pound scrapper, who has 14 years of ringcraft.
Farmer Jones was unable to bring his pet pig last Friday night, but he'll definitely have him here this week.
Two other all-star matches will round out the card.
