MATCH RECORDS, MENTIONS, OR APPEARANCES IN GEORGIA
AUGUST 20, 1965 (FRIDAY) – ATLANTA, GA – ATLANTA MUNICIPAL AUDITORIUM [P]
(Paul Jones – Promoter / Georgia Championship Wrestling)
Notes: The promotion had been running a contest over the last few weeks, whereas women who wanted to enter the “Miss Georgia Wrestling Queen” contest could put their names in the hat. The event occurred during this card, with the finalists chosen to walk around the ring between matches, with the winner being announced prior to the match between Dick Steinborn and Mario Galento. Judges for the contest included wrestlers Nick Kozak, Terry Majors, and Freddie Blassie, as well as Alan Gottlieb (Vice President of Imperial Merchandisers, a sponsor giving away a watch to one of the runners-up) and Jerry Tinkie (Manger of the Atlanta Cabana Hotel, a sponsor who would be giving a runner-up a weekend for two at his hotel). The winner was to receive a trophy and an all expense paid week long vacation at Ray McCay’s Dixie Inn Motel in Laguna Beach, FL. Unfortunately, none of our research has turned up the entrants or who won this contest. |
