Classic Matches

This highly entertaining program featured the first cross promotional between KGMB's "Checkers & Pogo" and Ed Francis Wrestling TV shows. The midgets were in Hawaii for two weeks. During that time, midget wrestler Little Beaver appeared on "The Checkers & Pogo Show" as Mr. Checkers' little Indian Helper. On the show, Little Beaver lifted the 300 pound Mr. Checkers above his head. After Little Beaver's appearance, a contest was announced that kids could win tickets to the June 5th wrestling card and watch the wrestling matches with Checkers & Pogo.

The card that night had four wrestling matches. In the first three matches: Peter Maivia pinned Masa Fujiwara, Curtis Iaukea downed the Missing Link, and Jim Hady took two out of three falls from Killer Karl Kox. The main event was a mixed midget 6-man tag team match between Billy White Wolf midget wrestlers Little Beaver and Joey Russell versus Ripper Collins and midgets Sky Low Low and Little Brutus.

At the start of the Missing Link vs. Curtis Iaukea match, Checkers & Pogo entered the ring and Pogo got tangled up in the ring ropes and had to be loosened by Mr. Checkers. The skit was filmed for KGMB's "Wrestling from the Civic" TV show.

White Wolf/ Beaver/ Russell vs Collins/ Brutus/ Low

In the locker room interviews leading up to this match, Billy White Wolf told Little Beaver he would "give him $100 if he lifted Collins above his head like he did Mr. Checkers." Meanwhile, Collins stated that "if Beaver attempted to lift me above his head and I fall on him, don't blame me if there is nothing but a greasy spot left on the mat.

Most of the main event centered around the midgets. Sky Low Low pinned Joey Russell for the first fall, then Russell returned the favor and pinned Sky Low Low for the second fall. For the third fall, Little Beaver pinned Sky Low Low to give his team the victory.
