HISTORY
1941: Georgia Championship Wrestling promoter Abe Simon announced the cancellation of a card to take place the following day at the Warren Arena in Atlanta
because Lou Thesz, who was scheduled to wrestle Rudy Strongberg in the main event, had been injured in an automobile accident.
1949: Don McIntyre defeated Bill Cazzell to retain the Southern Heavyweight Title at the Atlanta Municipal Auditorium for Georgia Championship Wrestling
promoter Paul Jones. McIntyre had been the reigning Southern Heavyweight Champion since he defeated the Black Menace on September 23, 1949, in Atlanta.
1955: Bill ‘Red’ McIntyre defeated Freddie Blassie to win the Southern Heavyweight Title at the Atlanta Municipal Auditorium for Georgia Championship Wrestling

ON.
1966: A match Southern Tag Team Champions Enrique & Ramon Torres and the Red Raiders was ruled a no contest in a title bout at the Atlanta Municipal Auditorium
for Georgia Championship Wrestling promoter Paul Jones. The Raiders were initially declared the winners, but the decision was nixed when it was discovered
they had used a cloth with a substance in an attempt to subdue Enrique. It was later reported to have been chloroform, after an empty bottle of carbon
tetrachloride was found in the dressing room. The Raiders were reportedly fined $100 each for their actions. The Torres’ had been the reigning champions
since they defeated Louie Tillet & Butcher Vachon on October 21, 1966, in Atlanta.
