Among the regulars were Cowboy Bob Yuma, Mr. Wrestling, The Lumberjacks, Masked Frankenstein (The Monster for Labell in Los Angeles), Pedro El Grande, John Ringer and Jody Arnold.>The promotion also booked wrestlers in transit from Texas to California and in reverse, which saw Rick Davidson, Steve Gatorwolf and some others appearing on the cards.>Independent wrestlers Mike Contreras, Two Ton Henkle, The Black Mamba and The Mercenary got their start with this office.>Others who appeared for this promotion at varied times included Eddie Dean, Eddie Sullivan, Nano Ortega, Benny Mendeblis, Ron Newstrome, Sadie & Sherri, The Little Princess, Sneaky Red Smith,Miss Arizona Red, The Viking, Farmer Jones, The Invaders, Christopher Henderson (Christopher Love/Bert Prentice), The Detroit Mauler, Mean Joe Madrigal, Curly Joe, Hollywood Brown, Miss Crystal Ball (a woman with a shaved head), Danny Snyder, Eli Hernandez, The Cherokee Brothers, Mr. Murder (Bernsten's son, who oddly enough died before him due to kidney cancer when only in his 40s), The Champion, Jake The Ripper, Danny Sanchez, Navajo Frank, The Mask, Skeleton Man, Dino Barbudo, The Arkansas Beast, Ludwig The Hun and The Bounty Man, just to name a few.
I'm no Cornette or Meltzer, but I know a lot of obscue dimeless territory jobbers. And I have never heard of a single one of these dudes, other than Mr. Wrestling (which one anyways?) and the fucking Monster. Holy shit.
