1972 Sports Attendance Survey

Dobson,NC - Oct.24,1968

The high school shows were certainly money makers for Jim Crockett Promotions.The local sponsor furnished the building, had tickets printed,sold them and used off duty law enforcement officers for security. This was the first high school show in my area. After packing as many people in the gym as possible, hundreds were turned away. As you can see in Johnny Weaver's records, it was the biggest show he wrestled on that week.

Jim Crockett Sr.'s First Greensboro,NC Event
