NEWS
Peach State Pandemonium returns after a two-week break and debut in their new day/time slot tonight at 9:00 PM ET.

World Wrestling Entertainment results from the Staples Center in Los Angeles, CA, on June 3: CM Punk over Tommy Dreamer, John Morrison, and Chavo Guerrero in a four-way; Shelton Benjamin over Matt Sydal by countout; Matt Hardy over Armando Estrada; Colin Delaney over Armando Estrada, doing double duty; and Kane over Punk. For spoiler results from SmackDown, which will be broadcast on June 6, click here. WWE lost Randy Orton for a few months after he was injured on the One Night Stand PPV in San Diego, CA, last Sunday. Now it appears the Big Show’s diagnosis of a broken nose suffered on the same night will keep him on limited duty for at least two weeks. (Rich Tate)

NOSTALGIA
JUNE 4, 1934 (MONDAY) – ATLANTA, GA – FAIR STREET ARENA (Jason Thompson – Promoter) > Glenn Cowan defeated Red Dugan > Jack Russell and Eddie Stecher wrestled to a draw > Bill Crussell defeated Tarzan Jordan / Notes: Ten percent of the gate receipts were reported to go to wrestler Ted Sarris, who had been ill and unable to wrestle for two weeks.

Elmer Snodgrass managed Elvira Snodgrass.
JUNE 4, 1945 (MONDAY) – SAVANNAH, GA – SAVANNAH MUNICIPAL AUDITORIUM (Lou Masters, Dick Leonard, and Buster White – Promoters) > Al Massey defeated Babe Zaharias > The Green Hornet defeated Roland Kirchmeyer > Pat Kelly defeated Jack Dillon
JUNE 4, 1948 (FRIDAY) – ATLANTA, GA – ATLANTA MUNICIPAL AUDITORIUM (Paul Jones – Promoter / Georgia Championship Wrestling) > Jack Page defeated Tom Mahoney > Jack Ross, Jr., & Tarzan White defeated Al Galento & Babe Zaharias > Bobby Roberts defeated Don Lee > Pete Managoff defeated Jim Coffield by disqualification
JUNE 4, 1948 (FRIDAY) – BLUE RIDGE, GA (Fred Ward – Promoter / Fred Ward Promotions) > Tommy Ward defeated Curtis Nack > Red Dugan defeated Henry Piers / Notes: It is unclear as to what venue was the site of this card.

Bobby Wallace managed Roy Shire. Reggie Lisowski & Art Nelson had been the reigning World Tag Team Champions as recognized by the Chicago, IL, office during earlier cards in 1954, but had since lost the title to Pat O’Connor & Roy McClarty on March 19, 1955, in Moline, IL. It is unclear as to whether they really held recognition by the Chicago office during this time frame, although sources do show a gap in their reported title histories. Thus, we are left to only speculate that they may have indeed been the recognized champions at the time of this card, rather then just being billed as such.

Leo Newman managed Tony Borne. Saul Weingeroff managed Kurt & Karl Von Brauner. The Von Brauners had been billed as World Tag Team Champions since May 18, 1965. Rocky Marciano and Al Galento were the special referees for the match between Buddy Fuller and Mario Galento. Buddy Fuller had been the reigning Georgia Heavyweight Champion since he defeated Mario Galento on May 28, 1965, in Atlanta.
