Wrestling) > Eddie Gossett versus Doran O’Hara > Roy Shire versus Ace Freeman > World Tag Team Title Match: Reggie Lisowski &
Art Nelson* versus Jerry Graham & Dizzy Davis / Notes: Bobby Wallace managed Shire. Lisowski and Nelson had been the reigning
World Tag Team Champions as recognized by the Chicago, IL, office during earlier cards in 1954, but had since lost the title to Pat Oâ
€™Connor and Roy McClarty on March 19, 1955, in Moline, IL. It is unclear as to whether they really held recognition by the Chicago office
during this time frame, although sources do show a gap in their reported title histories. Thus, we are left to only speculate that they may
have indeed been the recognized champions at the time of this card, rather than just being billed as such.
