MATCH RECORDS, MENTIONS, OR APPEARANCES IN GEORGIA

MARCH 29, 1932 (TUESDAY) – ATLANTA, GA – ATLANTA MUNICIPAL AUDITORIUM
(L.C. Warren and Eddie Hanlon – Promoters)
> Len Macaluso defeated Eddie Elzea
Notes: The attendance for this card is unknown, but it was reported that the gross receipts totaled $340.25.  This appears to have been the first true wrestling war between promoters in Georgia, as L.C. Warren and Eddie Hanlon managed to secure an agreement to use the venue where Henry Weber had been promoting since November 1929.  However, it wouldn’t last long, and Weber was back promoting in this venue again on April 19, 1932, with both promotions running alternate weeks until Warren bowed out in July 1932.
