Live Road Show from the Butler Fieldhouse in Indianapolis, Indiana
Mad Dog Vachon vs Jim Londos - The veteran grappler Londos was able to overcome a brutal attack at the opening bell to subdue Vachon, finishing him off with a thundering fireman's carry slam.
Blue Demon vs Lou Thesz - Thesz was scrambling out of the ring after an early charge by the lucha tactician. The Demon gave pursuit, where he was laid out on the arena floor, and was unable to return to the ring in time, giving Thesz a countout victory.
The Sheik vs Roy Heffernan - Heffernan's trusty teammate Al Costello joined him to keep an eye on the always shifty Sheik. The tactic seemed to get to the Sheik's head, as he appeared wary of the Aussie outside the ring the whole time. Heffernan took advantage, and controlled the match throughout.
The Crusher vs El Santo - The larger Crusher gave the former champ Santo all he could handle, but in the end, Santo's wide array of offensive maneuvers had Crusher's head spinning, submitting him with La De A Caballo.
Don Leo Jonathan vs Killer Kowalski - Our main event of the evening was a spectacle between two giants of the GWA, Kowalski and Jonathan. The ref had his hands full and then some to be sure, as emotions ran hot between the combatants. In trying to break up the two in the turnbuckle, the official took an elbow to the jaw from an unconcerned Kowalski, drawing the bell, and the disqualification.

Angelo Poffo vs Chief Don Eagle - Our opening match tonight pits the Mohawk warrior Don Eagle against the physical specimen that is Angelo Poffo. This one is surprisingly one-sided, as Poffo just doesn't seem to be in fighting form, as the Chief dominates the action from bell to bell, putting Poffo to the mat with a flying body block. EAGLE PINS POFFO
Bull Curry vs Maurice Tillet - The wild man, Bull Curry faces the gentleman brute, Maurice Tillet. These two veteran grapplers put on a great show, brutal, physical and bloody. In the end, it would be the Frenchman able to wear down Curry, who conceded to a crushing bear hug. TILLET WINS BY SUBMISSION
Gorgeous George vs Mike DiBiase - Mike DiBiase steps in to face the controversial Gorgeous George. DiBiase has not impressed in the GWA to date, but early on looks like that could change. George rallies with a cynical flurry, and locks in a spinning toe hold that DiBiase surrenders to. GEORGE WINS BY SUBMISSION
Billy Varga vs Lord James Blears - Lord James Blears and Billy Varga have a marathon match that ends when Blears drops Varga with a spinning back kick, and makes it back into the ring as Varga is counted out. BLEARS WINS BY COUNTOUT
Stu Hart vs Johnny Valentine - GWA WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP BOUT - The next challenger for the young Valentine's belt is Canadian tough guy Stu Hart. Hart comes out from the bell at full throttle, putting Valentine on the defensive right away and doesn't let up. Stu is eventually able to grapple the champ to the mat, and locks on a heel hook. Valentine can't break the hold, and tries desperately to reach the ropes, to no avail, and has to tap. We have a new World Champion! Stu Hart! HART WINS BY SUBMISSION

Mick McManus vs Rod Fenton - The Canuck Fenton seemed charged by the home country crowd, and was able to overpower the plucky McManus before finishing him off with a flurry of dropkicks.
Mad Dog Vachon vs Red Berry - The Mad Dog and Wild Red fought toe to toe in an entertaining match. As time wore on, Vachon's power wore down Berry, who succumbed to a pile driver.
Yukon Eric vs Freddie Blassie - The mountain man could not overcome the cunning and skill of the wily Freddie Blassie, who put away Eric after a series of knee drops.
Black Shadow vs El Santo - Two veteran lucha tacticians were paired for our next match. Santo and La Sombra Negra put on a spectacle of a match, which ended seeing Santo submit the Shadow via la de a caballo.
Lou Thesz vs Antonino Rocca - In tonight's main event, the great Lou Thesz reminded us that he's still on the top shelf of talent in the GWA, as he completely controlled his match against the capable and athletic Rocca.

GWA Wrestling Showcase on the Dumont Network
The Crusher vs Bull Curry - Our opening match of tonight's card promises to be a real donnybrook, and it delivers. The Crusher and Bull Curry meet at the center of the ring, and the brawl ensues from the opening bell. Blows are exchanged at an insane pace, and the two just keep going at it. The Crusher outlasts the wild man, and eventually drops him, and secures the pin for a hard fought victory. CRUSHER PINS CURRY
Gory Guerrero vs The Sheik - Another of the GWA's notorious practitioners of violence steps into the ring next, as The Sheik faces Gory Guerrero. The Sheik manages to take the early momentum, but Guerrero withstands the attack, and eventually, his skill overcomes his opponent. The Sheik is forced to concede once Guerrero locks in his infamous La De A Caballo. GUERRERO WINS BY SUBMISSION
Fritz Von Goering vs The Blue Demon - The physically imposing Teutonic terror, Fritz Von Goering, steps in against luchador El Demonio Azul. The Demon takes the early initiative, and has Von Goering tumbling all over the ring in no time. The larger grappler is pounced upon from all angles, and before long, is on his back for the three count. DEMON PINS VON GOERING
El Santo vs Angelo Poffo - The lucha parade continues, as ex-champ El Santo takes on the capable Angelo Poffo. The match is a tight contest for several minutes, but eventually, the one time king of the ring imposes his will, controlling the critical phase of the match. Santo brings Poffo crashing to the mat with a flying body block, and gets the three count. SANTO PINS POFFO
Don Leo Jonathan vs Killer Kowalski - Our main event of the night is a real clash of the titans. Two of the biggest men in the GWA continue their vendetta as Killer Kowalski meets Don Leo Jonathan. The two behemoths unleash everything they've got on each other. Kowalski falters, and Jonathan gets ahold of him for a Mormon Swing. Kowalski survives, but this fight is not the same after, and he is done after sent flying a second time in the swing. JONATHAN PINS KOWALSKI
