McGuirk Wrestling Territory: Week of 1/31/72-2/6/72
For the week ending February 6th, 1972: Mephisto and Muehler have the biggest feud in the territory, Bill Watts, Doctor X and the team of Billy Red Lyons & Tom Jones defend their respective titles & more!
Here's a look at the talent roster along with SPOT ratings and FEUD scores for the week.
Other wrestlers advertised for shows this week but not listed in the SPOT ratings: Chuck Bowman, Duke Myers, Jim Garvin (primarily working as Terry Garvin's manager), Tom Bradley and midget wrestlers Farmer Pete and Little Bruiser.
The lone newcomer this week was Billy Hamilton. I don't have much info on Hamilton; he came here from Gulf Coast. After he left here he went back to Gulf Coast and then worked for Gulas later in the year.
Gypsy Joe Rosario left the territory. He went to East Texas and would return here briefly later in the year. Rosario, who also wrestled as Pancho Rosario and Pancho Valdez, was sometimes billed as "The Cuban Undertaker".
The primary movers on the SPOT Ratings chart were Vic Muehler and Red McKim moving up and Ramon Torres and Bob Boyer moving down. In the case of McKim, he's wrestling on a part-time basis, so his SPOT Rating is subject to more week-to-week variance because of the smaller number of matches used to calculate his rating.
The feud between Mephisto and Muehler continues to heat up, with their FEUD Score increasing to a 48 (anything above a 40 is generally considered a "major feud"). Mephisto and Muehler main-evented Monroe this week (with Mephisto being disqualified in the third fall for "using an inflammable substance") and also faced one another in Baton Rouge and Chalmette.
