It was reported that the matches on this card were part of a tournament to determine a challenger to face Bobby Chick for the World Light Heavyweight Title.

NOVEMBER 20, 1941 (TUESDAY) – AUGUSTA, GA – AUGUSTA MUNICIPAL AUDITORIUM (Abe Simon – Promoter / Georgia Championship Wrestling) > Rudy Strongberg versus Bobby Roberts Notes: No documented results for this match have been found. Abe Simon, who promoted wrestling in Atlanta, apparently began to include Augusta as an extension of the Atlanta office with this card. NOVEMBER 26, 1941 (WEDNESDAY) – ATLANTA, GA – WARREN ARENA (Abe Simon – Promoter / Georgia Championship Wrestling) > Bobby Roberts defeated Strangler White by disqualification NOVEMBER 28, 1941 (FRIDAY) – AUGUSTA, GA – AUGUSTA MUNICIPAL AUDITORIUM (Abe Simon – Promoter / Georgia Championship Wrestling) > Bobby Roberts defeated Strangler White by disqualification DECEMBER 3, 1941 (WEDNESDAY) – ATLANTA, GA – WARREN ARENA (Abe Simon – Promoter / Georgia Championship Wrestling) > Bobby Roberts and Strangler White wrestled to a draw DECEMBER 5, 1941 (FRIDAY) – AUGUSTA, GA – AUGUSTA MUNICIPAL AUDITORIUM (Abe Simon – Promoter / Georgia Championship Wrestling) > Bobby Roberts versus Strangler White Notes: No documented results for this match have been found. This appears to be the last card Abe Simon promoted in conjunction with his cards in Atlanta, as the attack on Pearl Harbor occurred two days later, ceasing both operations for some time. DECEMBER 10, 1941 (WEDNESDAY) – ATLANTA, GA – WARREN ARENA (Abe Simon – Promoter / Georgia Championship Wrestling) > Ronnie Etchison versus Bobby Roberts Notes: No documented results for this match have been found. It is possible the card was cancelled, as the attack on Pearl Harbor had occurred just three days prior, and after the announcement of the scheduled event.
