"the actual booking calendar used by Jack Adkisson (Fritz Von Erich) in his office at the Sportatorium in 1977. Although it isn't quite complete (the pages for September are unfortunately missing), it's still a fascinating look at a highly interesting period in Texas wrestling. Entered for each date are the city ("CC", on Thursdays, stands for Corpus Christi) and matches for that evening's card (or, for spot shows, the wrestlers scheduled to appear) and the gate for each show. Also sprinkled throughout are reminders of the availability -- or unavailability -- of various wrestlers on certain dates, as well as birthdays and other special family occasions."

This is fascinating. There's not that much to see, just a bunch of hard to read names and notes scribbled on a calendar. I'd be interested to look at those gates alongside the results page and get an idea of who and what feuds were really popping houses.

I think Seth82's views on history, and his insight are amazing. He should be commended for his knowledge and his finds. However, he may as well talk about a fine pino grigo and how the shape of the glass helps bring out the distinct flavor of elderberries in the wine at a scuzzy little dive bar.
