Houston, Texas:  Friday, August 4, 1950
(City Auditorium) ... NWA World Heavyweight Champion Lou Thesz b. Buddy Rogers (2/3)
(Rogers won the first fall in less than a minute with a dropkick and atomic drop, Thesz
took the second in 20:00, Rogers was disqualified in the third) ... Black Guzman and
Carlos Moreno b. George Bollas and Bill Canny ... Bobby Bruns b. Sonny Myers ... Billy
Darnell b. Tommy O'Toole ... Al Lovelock b. Angelo Martinelli ... (promoter:  Morris Sigel)
... (referee:  Bobby Managoff -main event)
Notes:  The Houston Post stated that the way Rogers "tore into the titleholder bounced
him right back into favor with Houston's wrestling fans." The paper also indicated that
there was a "demonstration" by fans after the DQ.  Bruns victory over Myers was said to
be an "upset."

Houston, Texas:  Friday, August 11, 1950
(City Auditorium) ... Buddy Rogers b. Bobby Bruns (2-0) (22:00, 40 seconds) (piledriver,
dropkick) ... Texas State Tag Team Champions Black Guzman and Rito Romero b. Billy
Darnell and Sonny Myers ... Verne Gagne b. Red McIntyre ... "Cyclone" Johnny Cobb b.
Tex Grady ... Al Lovelock b. Antone Leone (DQ) ... (promoter:  Morris Sigel) ... (referee:  
Leo Voss)
Notes:  The tag team championship was represented by a trophy.  Gagne was returning
"from a training siege in Minneapolis."  Cobb was from Chicago.  The winner of the main
event was going to receive a shot at the Texas state title.  Where it seemed that Rogers
was getting some fan favorite treatment in his bout with Thesz, he drew the ire here
against Bruns with his "spectacular cape," and other heel mannerisms.

Houston, Texas:  Friday, August 18, 1950
(City Auditorium) ... Texas State Heavyweight Champion Black Guzman b. Buddy Rogers
(2/3) (third fall by countout) ... Verne Gagne b. Rito Romero ... Paul Boesch and Bob
Wagner drew ... George Bollas b. Bobby Bruns ... Dick Raines b. Pat O'Shocker ...
(promoter:  Morris Sigel) ... (referee:  Paul Boesch)
Notes:  Rogers' "arrogant attitude and rough treatment of his opponent" earned a
negative reaction from the crowd, according to the Houston Post.  Gagne and Rito
wrestled a clean match and the fans reacted positively, and "every hold in the book" was
used.  Boesch was the wrestling commentator on KPRC-TV.  He wrestled on the show
and refereed the main event.  Bollas earned a bout with Killer Kowalski next week.

Houston, Texas:  Friday, August 25, 1950
(City Auditorium) ... George Bollas b. Killer Kowalski (2/3) ... Verne Gagne and Buddy
Rogers drew ... Black Guzman b. Tommy Martindale ... Carlos Moreno b. Bob Wagner
(reverse decision DQ after Wagner initially won) ... Sonny Myers b. Bill Canny ...
(promoter:  Morris Sigel) ... (referee:  Dr. Karl Sarpolis)
Notes:  Bollas-Kowalski was called "Battle of the Behemoths." Sarpolis gave a fast count
during the third fall of the main event, which had the fans upset.  The main event winner
was going to wrestle Lou Thesz next week.

Houston, Texas:  Friday, September 1, 1950

... Rito Romero b. Balk Estes (decision) ... (promoter:  Morris Sigel) ... (referee:  Paul
Boesch - main event)
Notes:  Varga was making his return.  He has been on the West Coast making movies,
"his latest being with Bob Hope in the Lemon Drop Kid." Bollas was a major heel at this
point in Houston.  Estes was said to be making his local debut.  The Houston Post said
"for once in his reign as champion [Thesz] was popular with the crowd." An
overenthusiastic fan from the crowd tried to get at Bollas, delivering a "Sunday punch" on
the wrestler.  The Gagne-Guzman match stole the show, and Gagne's win was
considered an upset.  He was the "favorite throughout."

Houston, Texas:  Friday, September 8, 1950
(City Auditorium) ... Verne Gagne b. Black Guzman to capture the Texas State
Heavyweight Title (2/3) (Guzman suffered a twisted ankle during the third fall and was
unable to continue) ... Butch Monty b. Billy Curtiss (2/3) ... Killer Kowalski b. Bob Wagner
... Bobby Bruns and Dizzy Davis drew ... Billy Varga b. Dick Raines ... Sonny Myers b.
Bobby Coleman ... (promoter:  Morris Sigel)
Notes:  Davis was said to be returning after a tour of Oklahoma.  Butch Monty claimed the
paperweight championship.  Gagne's first name was often spelled "Vern" in the local
press.  The main event was said to be "brilliant." Gagne initially refused to accept the
championship on the injury.  The Houston Post (9/9/50) noted that Gagne's actions was a
"display of good sportsmanship never equaled in a wrestling bout here before." The
Texas Wrestling Commission forced Gagne to accept the decision. (Houston Post,
9/24/50)  The newspaper also stated that "fans had their first look at midget wrestlers"
with the Monty-Curtiss bout.

Houston, Texas:  Friday, September 15, 1950

of Morris Sigel." Every seat in the Coliseum was $1.00 called "Dollar Day."  For the fan
coming the show from the furthest distance, KPRC-TV was going to give them a 102-
piece silver set.  The largest family present was going to receive a 16" television set.  
The heaviest, youngest, and oldest fans were also going to receive prizes.
