Classic Matches

On October 19, 1966, promoter Ed Francis presented a wrestling card at the Honolulu International Center Arena which featured a grudge match between Handsome Johnny Barend and The Missing Link.

Unfortunately, while we have several photographs of the undercards, we do not have any pictures from the two main events, the grudge match and the World's Tag Team Championship match.

The results of the main events were as follows:

Ray Stevens and Patt Patterson successfully defended their Wold Tag Team Championship by defeating Pepper Gomez and Victor Rivera before a turn away crowd of more than 8,000 people. Patterson scored the first fall by pinning Gomez but Gomez returned to down Stevens in the second fall. In the third fall, Stevens used a Bombs Away and a press to down Victor Rivera.

The Missing Link defeated Handsome Johnny Barend when Barend was counted out as he lay outside the ring.

In another match, Kongozan and the Mighty Atlas wrestled to a draw.

Dan Miller vs The Stomper

The Mongolian Stomper defeated Dan Miller in a one fall match.
