McGuirk Wrestling Territory: Q3 1973
In the 3rd quarter of 1973, Mantell and Sweetan put the boots to one another, Perez & Tapia win gold, early matches in the careers of Pistol Pez and Rotten Ron & more!
Here is the roster for the quarter. Wrestlers are listed in descending order by their average SPOT Rating during the quarter. Directly below their week-by-week SPOT Ratings is a list of their Frequent Partners and Frequent Opponents (if applicable):
NEW TO THE TERRITORY THIS QUARTER
(wrestlers either making their first-ever appearance as a regular in this territory, their first appearance since Sep 1959, or appearing in a significantly different role/gimmick than when they were here previously)
BILL ASH – Bill’s earliest documented matches were in 1972 in Florida. He was a mainstay of Southeastern in the 80s, notably feuding with Scott Armstrong over the U.S. Junior Heavyweight title, which he held several times. He also teamed frequently with David Schultz early in both men’s careers. He went on to promote wrestling in Arkansas for many years and made wrestling boots, taking over that business from his father.
JAY FRENCH – One of a long list of short-term journeymen, French shows up in a few different territories in 1973 and 1974. He came here from Heart of America in late September.
JIM LEDFORD – Similar to Jay French, Ledford seems to have toiled around territories in the south for a couple of years in the early 70s and then disappeared. He shows up on some All-South cards early in the year, then works for Gulas in the summer before coming here.
KARL VON STEIGER (or is it Kurt?) – Newspaper ads initially list “Kurt Steiger” on two weeks’ worth of shows in early August. Kurt Von Steiger, real name Arnold Pastrick, originally worked as Kurt Steiger before adding the “Von” in late 1965. However, after mid-August, the ads generally list “Karl Von Steiger”, and there are no occasions where both men are advertised on the same show or even on the same dates in separate towns. In researching the careers of both men and their whereabouts in the summer of 1973, Karl (real name Lorne Corlett) leaves Amarillo on August 3rd for about 6 weeks. His absence from that territory lines up exactly with the time period that both “Kurt” and “Karl” are advertised here. For this reason, it is possible that it was “Karl” the whole time, and they mistakenly advertised “Kurt” for the first couple of weeks before correcting it. However, Kurt also has a gap in his career record around this time. He is wrestling in Canada through July and then his next known whereabouts are in Heart of America in October. So it is technically possible that Kurt was here for two weeks, then Karl, or it was Karl the whole time, or it could even have been Kurt the whole time. *shrug emoji*
MIKE PAIDOUSIS – Mike played football at the University of Tennessee, playing in the 1945 Rose Bowl and the 1947 Orange Bowl. He then turned to pro wrestling, debuting in 1950 for Toots Mondt in New York. He spent about 30 years as a pro, holding titles in Heart of America, Mid-Atlantic, and East Texas.
PANTERA NEGRA – Jesus Guzman Huerta, brother of El Santo and Black Guzman, spent most of his career wrestling in Mexico. He wrestled in East Texas in 1968 and in the early 70s competed in Hawaii and California. In January 1973, Negra and El Sicodelico (Pablo Rodriguez, brother of Mil Mascaras and Dos Caras) went to Georgia Championship Wrestling. Negra then went to East Texas for a few months before coming here.
PEZ WHATLEY – Pezavan Whatley grew up in Chattanooga. He was a decorated wrestler and one of the first Black student-athletes at Notre Dame High School in the late 60s. He was also one of the first (if not the first) Black scholarship athletes at UTC, competing in both football and wrestling. His earliest documented pro matches were in the fall of 1972 for promoter Phil Golden, who was running opposition to Nick Gulas in Kentucky. He stayed with Golden through July of 1973 before coming here.
RON STARR – Young Ron Starr had been here earlier in 1973 for about two weeks, using the name Bobby Starr. As I’ve mentioned on our podcast, Starr was wrestling in Florida (as Bobby Starr) at the same time as Ron Wright, and the ring announcer mistakenly conflated the two names and introduced Starr as “Ron Starr”. Starr ended up liking the way it sounded and would adopt it as his ring name later in the year. And the rest, as they say, is history.
ROY FRANCIS – I don’t have any further information on this wrestler, as his name doesn’t seem to show up anywhere else. It’s always possible he is better known under a different ring name and used this moniker while starting out, but there is currently no other info available. He worked prelims for about 7 weeks, leaving in October.
TANK MORGAN – Paul McManus used a variety of ring names over the course of a 15-year career. He is credited with matches under the following names: Paul McManus, Art McManus, Frank Morgan, Bob Raider, Bob Morgan, Brute Morgan, Dick Morgan, Tank Morgan, Super Inferno (in 1969 in Amarillo after Frankie Cain & Rocky Smith working as the Infernos had left the area), and one of the masked Saints in Florida in 1973. He came here after leaving Florida in September. He got a surprisingly big push here, winning the North American title (which Bill Watts had ‘vacated’ when he left earlier in the year) and holding it for three months.

CHAMPIONS & KNOWN TITLE CHANGES
NOTE: Title histories are sometimes not “linear”; title changes can be acknowledged in one market but not others, or perhaps acknowledged in others at a later date. Also, the concept of titles being “held up” can sometimes refer to a town-specific angle to build to a rematch and may not be acknowledged in other markets. This represents my best effort to accurately portray title histories using the tools now available. While I do try to put these histories together on my own, I often refer to wrestling-titles.com and wrestlingdata.com
NORTH AMERICAN TITLE
The last champion was Bill Watts, who left earlier in the year and went to Georgia. It doesn’t appear the title was mentioned at all here until August, when a series of tournament matches began at some house shows. There is no tournament bracket per se, it looks like there were just a series of “elimination matches” with little in the way of consistency from town to town. A new champion would be crowned early in the following quarter.
NWA WORLD JUNIOR HEAVYWEIGHT TITLE
Danny Hodge held this title for the duration of the quarter.
US TAG TEAM TITLES
Dennis Stamp & Dewey Robertson were the champions at the beginning of the quarter. On August 14th in Monroe, Alex Perez & El Gran Tapia defeated Stamp & Robertson to win the titles.
BRASS KNUCKS TITLE/TROPHY
Bob Sweetan appears to have held this title for the duration of the quarter; this title wasn’t defended as regularly as others, and there may have been periods of time where it wasn’t acknowledged.

ANATOMY OF A FEUD
Here’s a look at the feud between Bob Sweetan and Ken Mantell, looking at all the known matches between them with stipulations noted where available. The matches are arranged chronologically by city, so you can easily see which cities had multiple matches between them.
Keep in mind that some newspapers didn't list details, so just because a match isn't specified as a title match, we don't necessarily know for a fact that it was non-title and the same can apply for stipulation bouts.
This feud was set up by a television angle where Mantell came out while Sweetan was wrestling and pulled off one of his boots, running off with it. Many of the house show matches had a stipulation where Sweetan would get the boot back if he won. In some towns, Mantell was disqualified after trying to hit Sweetan with said boot and “accidentally” hit the referee. Another finish used in some towns saw Sweetan change into a pair of sharp-pointed cowboy boots between falls and use them as a weapon on Mantell, getting himself disqualified.

However, the advertisement for the following week’s show states that Mantell had won by disqualification after Sweetan put on cowboy boots for the second fall and “stomped Mantell in the face” with them.
9/4 Sweetan will not be allowed to leave the ring between falls: no results available
-----
Here is the calendar of known house shows for the quarter. It is worth noting that in the last week of September, there were no shows in the weekly towns of Pine Bluff, Fort Smith, and Wichita Falls, all of which were promoted at the time by Leonard Clay (along with Joplin, which didn’t run in the summer months). It would appear that there were some issues between Clay and McGuirk, as early October would see Clay run those towns for a few weeks using wrestlers from a different booking office. We’ll cover that later in the year when we look at the 4th quarter.
