No Bruno? That seems like a big enough market in DC so you’d think he’d be there

Some of the wrestlers appear on the matchup card and some of them doesn't. But since you mentioned Bruno Sammartino, have a read of this lineup.

I lost count how many times I watched this show. It aired on MSG network and I recorded it. I’m guessing it’s up on YouTube. My first wrestling show would not come till 3 months later at MSG but I wish I was at this historic show.

You would think that would be the equivalent of a high school gym C show being it is at Ice world. But that is a pretty good card.
