War Eagle Chavis Among Wrestlers
Coming to Fairmont
The Social Studies Department of Fairmont High
School will present South Atlantic pro wrestling as a fund
raiaer at the high school gym on Saturday, May 4th. The
bell time for this four match wrestling card is 8 p.m. A
portion of the proceeds will go directly to the Fairmont
High School Social Studies Department.
This giant fund raising card is highlighted by two title
defenses, b the main event, the South Atlantic Tag Team
titles wfll be up for grebe as the current champions Bobby
6 Jackie FnUon-tke Fantastics defend teir belts against
the channlenge at Sam Houston and the Russian Bear,
turn Koloff. Koliff, a former WWF world heavywieght
champion, has been campaigning in the ting wars for
nearly two decades. He won the WWF tide, currently
held by Hulk Hogan, by defeating that association's
greatest champion, Bruno Sanmarlsno. Koloff a partner,
Sam Houston, is no stranger to the squared circle. A
second generation grappler, Houston's father, Tbiy
Anderson, competed for many years as one of the
KontneUans. His brother, Jake Roberts, is currently
competing in another federation. Sam made a name for
himself, along with his valet turned wife Baby Doll, in the
NWA. Together with the Russian Bear, this veteran duo
should prove to be the toughest test to date for the new
champions.
The Rmtasiics are very familiar with the rigors of
defending the titles. They are the only team in the sport
today who can claim to have held the tag team titles in
every wrestling federations in which they have competed,
b compiling this am axing record they have defeated soem
of the biggest names b wrestling, including the Midnight
Express and the Road Warriors. Although small by pro
wrestling standards, s combined weight at only 456
pounds, they depend upon speed and exciting aerial
moves to wear down and defeat much larger opponents.
h the second title defense, the reigning South Atlantic
Heavyweight Champion, Mr. Wrestling Vince Tbrnslh
defends his title against hte challenge of 6* 4" -276 pounds

to the top. btroduced to the pro ranks by the original
"Nature Bo/' Buddy Roger.t, the War Eagle'a career ia
now guided by another ring veteran Aid Jbuea. The
champion's credentials are every bit aa impreaaive. The
runner up in the 1988 Olympic Wrestling Trails, he has
won several "touch man" contest both here in North
Carolina and in his Native California. ToreDi waa thrust
into the national spotlight at the recent heavyweight
tournament held in the Bahamas One day prior to the
start of the tournament, TorreUi left the aide of his
mentor. And Jones, to join the forces of Robert Fuller's
infamous Stud Stable. Needless to say, this crushed Paul
jones, who had retired from active competition to guide
the youngster's career. "I treated Vince TorreUi like my
own aoo." explained an emotional Paul Jones. "I made
him what he ia today. And I'm the one who can break
him." Jones weot on to say, 'Tllbein the eornerof eveyr
one of that punk's opponents until he looses that belt
He'll be the shortest lived champion this association ever
had."
