1973


 

Mark Eastridge's collection of wrestling clippings is simply amazing. While working on results and clippings for wrestling all over the country, Mark is currently compiling results for Gene, Lars, and Ole Anderson in the Mid-Atlantic area and plans to add results for their work in other territories as well.

We are fortunate that Mark has provided these results to the Minnesota Wrecking Crew website and Mid-Atlantic  Gateway. As he completes each year, we will present those results here.
