Dear news media,
Why not spend a few minutes today explaining how the process of going to war is supposed to work in a constitutional democracy? Because it ain't this.

Thanks to everyone for the kind words about Ep 87 the Two Ring Battle Royal. Here is some more great art from the Houston Wrestling programs. I think this art dates back to the match debut in 1974.

Happy birthday to my occasional Texas Rasslin' War(s) narrator, my boy Izzy aka Rev. Tommy Phelps, the not original Nature Boy, born Dec. 27, 1926. Izzy's biggest claim to fame is he recommended Jack Adkisson to Jack Pfefer.

Merry Christmas from 1976, the year Sylvester Ritter started his meteoric climb into the business. On Christmas night about two months into the business he took a ride up the road to Durham.

As discussed on the Time Tunnel 1975 Texas wrap up show, here were the Christmas gifts given out at the Houston Wrestling show Friday, Dec. 19. The next show was not until Jan. 2.

Some 1954 Sportatorium programs came in and I am fascinated by the main event Oct. 19: Referees Leo Voss and Jim Blood square off in a loser-won't-ref-in-Dallas-again match.

How is this for some hump day stationary? From the Father Ted Hesburgh's Jack Pfefer Collection, this 1951 letter from Pinkie George announces he is out of Kansas City. By the end of the decade he was out of the midwest and into San Antonio.
