HISTORY
On this day in 1944, Bill Longson defeated Chief Saunooke to retain the NWA World Heavyweight Title at the Atlanta Municipal Auditorium for Georgia Championship
Wrestling promoter Paul Jones. Longson had been the reigning champion since he defeated Bobby Managoff in St. Louis, MO, on February 19, 1943. This version
was the one recognized by the National Boxing Association as the National Wrestling Association.
On this day in 1964, Georgia Heavyweight Champion Sputnik Monroe and Chief Little Eagle wrestled to a draw in a title match at the Macon City Auditorium
for Georgia Championship Wrestling promoter Fred Ward. Monroe had been the reigning champion since he defeated Don Fargo on October 16, 1964, in Atlanta.
On this day in 1967, Enrique & Alberto Torres defeated Oki Yama & El Mongol (managed by Jack Crawford) at the Atlanta Municipal Auditorium for Georgia Championship
Wrestling promoter Paul Jones. During the match between Yama was unmasked, but had his face covered quickly and was unable to be identified.
On this day in 1973, the Super Gladiator defeated Tommy Seigler to win the Georgia Television Title at that day’s taping for All-South Wrestling Alliance
promoter Ann Gunkel. It is unclear at this time how Seigler came to be recognized as the champion. Our records currently show him defending it on July
20, 1973, against Ox Baker. Baker had been the defending champion in a match exactly one week earlier against Mr. Kleen.
Also on this day in 1973, Bob Armstrong & Robert Fuller defeated Bobby Duncum & Stan Vachon to win the Georgia Tag Team Title at that day’s taping for Georgia
Championship Wrestling promoter Paul Jones. Duncum & Vachon had been the reigning champions since they defeated Armstrong & Tom Jones in the final round
of a tournament on September 21, 1973, in Atlanta. That tournament also included the following teams: the Samoans, the Super Infernos (managed by J.C.
Dykes), Ole & Gene Anderson, and Ricky Gibson & Bob Orton, Jr.
On this day in 1978, Ole Anderson & Stan Hansen defeated Tommy Rich & Mr. Wrestling #2 to retain the Georgia Tag Team Title at the Atlanta Municipal Auditorium
for Georgia Championship Wrestling promoter Paul Jones. Anderson & Hansen had been the reigning champions since they defeated Rick Martel & Tommy Rich
on October 20, 1978, in Atlanta. Also on this card, Martel put up $1,000 if the Masked Superstar could pin him, and the Superstar put up $1,000 if Martel
could break the cobra hold, but neither happened, as they wrestled to a draw. In a lights out match, Pez Whatley defeated Ole Anderson by countout.
On this day in 1979, Tommy Rich defeated Killer Karl Kox (managed by Bobby Heenan) to retain the Georgia Heavyweight Title at that day’s taping for Georgia
Championship Wrestling promoter Paul Jones. Following the match, Heenan burned Rich’s face with a cigar. Rich had won the title from Kox the night before
in
Atlanta.
