Wrestling Notes: Lord “Tallyho” Blears indicated that Wild Bill Dromo will be returning to Hawaii. Making his debut in Hawaii in the very near future will be Tank Morgan. I guess the fans on the East Coast are familiar with Morgan. Next card will be at the Honolulu Civic Auditorium on August 16, 1967. Here is the card: In the first match of the evening, Ripper Collins will take on Beauregarde. Curtis Iaukea will take on Kongozan in the special event.

Miss Kathy Starr and Eric Frolich will take on the team of Miss Jessica Rogers and Dutch Schultz in a mix match. The main event will feature a Hawaiian Tag Team Championship match. Johnny Barend and Jim Hady will defend their title against Chief Billy White Wolf and Nick Kozak. Chief Billy White Wolf will leave for Japan on August 25, 1967.
