NWA - National Wrestling Alliance

Lou Thesz (Aloysius Martin Thesz) faces Verne Gagne (LaVerne Clarence Gagne) in a Best 2 of 3 falls match with a 30 minute time limit. Chicago International Amphitheatre.

This is just a great match between two young wrestlers from the 1950's as Donn Lewin matches up against Leo Garibaldi. I believe this is from Los Angeles. Donn Lewin, from Buffalo, was the brother of fellow wrestlers Mark and Ted. His brother-in-law and mentor was wrestling great "Dangerous" Danny McShain. Leo Garibaldi was a great second generation star following in the footsteps of father Gino. After wrestling Garibaldi had a great career in booking and promoting wrestling.
