This was the final Atlanta card promoted by Les Wolfe, as he was replaced by Paul Jones, who had only stepped down about two years prior. JULY 10, 1964 (FRIDAY) ATLANTA, GA ATLANTA MUNICIPAL AUDITORIUM [P] (Paul Jones Promoter / Georgia Championship Wrestling) > Billy Wicks & Bruce Austin defeated Charlie Carr & Red Roberts Notes: This was Paul Jones first card in about two years, since he had retired and sold his interest in the office to Don McIntyre. It is said that Jones was simply brought back for public relations purposes, as his share of stock in the office was much smaller than before he sold to McIntyre in 1962. His role as promoter simply meant that he was the figurehead and presented as the man in charge to the fans. However, Ray Gunkel and Buddy Fuller were the top men at the helm by this time.
