Classic Matches

On August 21, 1968, a sellout crowd packed the Civic Auditorium in Honolulu to witness a steel cage match and three other scheduled matches.

Billy White Wolf vs Ripper Collins

Ripper Collins did double duty, he and his tag team partner Masa Fujiwara took two out of three falls from Rocky Hunter and Dean Higuchi. Then Collins subbed for Ray Stevens against Billy White Wolf and lost a one-fall match.

Barend & Maurice vs Hady & Iaukea

The main event, advertised as "The Cage of Revenge," had Handsome Johnny Barend and The Magnificent Maurice, the current Hawaiian tag team champions, against Jim Hady and Curtis Iaukea in a rematch from three weeks earlier at the HIC. This time the Hawaiian tag titles weren't on the line. For the match, a wire cage was built around the ring to confine the four wrestlers and the referee.

The match was a terrific battle all the way and in the end, Jim Hady and Curtis Iaukea gained two out of three falls over Barend and Maurice to win the match.
