Promoter: ED McLEMORE (Dallas), KEN MOORE (Fort Worth)
Have corrections or additions? Please send to: wccwmemories (at) gmail (dot) com
NOTE: During the promotional war between the Houston and Dallas offices, two different promotions ran in Dallas in 1953 and 1954: Ed McLemore, who withdrew from the NWA, continued running shows with non-NWA talent at the Sportatorium on Tuesday nights, with Maurice Beck in charge of live TV shows for the group on Thursday and Friday nights at different times (Beck also handled TV commentary for the cards, which were televised on WFAA-Channel 8). Tuesday night NWA cards at the nightclub Pappy's Showland were run by Norman Clark on behalf of Morris Sigel's Houston office, using most of the talent that had previously worked for McLemore.
Because this website focuses on the promotion run by McLemore and, later, by Jack Adkisson, only its shows are listed here. For the cards promoted by Clark, please see the Dallas results pages of Tim Hornbaker's Legacy of Wrestling site.
