Hans, Beast Meet Tonight

Utica Daily Press – September 28, 1963

Hans Schmidt and The Beast tangle in the main event of tonight’s wrestling headliner in Utica Memorial Auditorium.

Schmidt and The Beast clashed before one of the top crowds here last and met once after in Buffalo and are now on even terms.  That some extra excitement can be anticipated comes in the fact that Martino Angelo, manager of The Beast, will be at ringside.

Two special features are on the supporting card.  One brings Moose Cholak, a 330-pound, 6-foot, 4-inch heavyweight who goes against Tony Parisi of Niagara Falls, Ont.  The other features midget wrestlers with Lord Littlebrook meeting Bull Brummell.  Tony Marino vs. Tommy O’Toole and Joe Blanchard vs. Mike Valentine round out the card which starts at 8:30.
