| Due to popular demand, and the fact that time constraints have very much delayed our goal of fully detailing each card and completing a career record for everyone who has been documented as having appeared in Georgia, we are going to go ahead and return the cards and results for the 1970s and 1980s. We had hoped to continue returning this information to the site on a gradual basis as we completed them in a yearly process. However, though we are not satisfied with the completeness of the information, the information that will reappear is as accurate as we have been able to document. As always, GWH’s Cards and Results section is a constant work-in-progress, and we will continue to strive to complete all of this information, as well as the career records as found in our Who’s Who section, as time allows. Thanks for your continued support and patience as we attempt to pull all of this material together in the most accurate and complete form possible.

The program we have for this card is the first we have that shows Freddy Miller in a working capacity with the Atlanta office. Miller had been an Atlanta broadcaster in radio for many years, and is credited here with putting programs together, and would also later be credited with producing “Georgia Championship Wrestling” on television, as well as handling publicity for the company. The program also is the first mention of tapings in Atlanta occurring at 11:00 AM on Saturdays, which obviously worked much better for allowing appropriate editing time for the show to be prepared by the 6:00 PM airing. It also features a small bio written about Steve Keirn by Jim Carlisle, who was the host of “Columbus Championship Wrestling” for Fred Ward’s part of the territory. In addition, it provides an expanded listing of where “Georgia Championship Wrestling” can be seen outside the Atlanta area: Augusta (Channel 12 WRDW on Saturday from 2:00 to 3:00 PM and Channel 26 WATU on Saturday from 1:00 to 2:00 PM), Albany (Channel 10 WALB on Saturday from 5:30 to 6:30 PM), and Savannah (Channel 22 WJCL from 2:30 to 3:30 PM and Channel 11 WTOC on Saturday from 11:00 PM to Midnight).
