The WrestlingData site has Miller appearing In Detroit defeating Art Thomas while also going to a no contest at the Sunnyside Gardens in New York. I guess it's possible that was a matinee show but can anyone confirm these dates and matches?

That no contest in the Sunnyside Garden was against Johnny Valentine...who was also in Chicago on this date! These two had met at the previous Sunnyside card in January so I think this is simply an error including it on the February card.

I couldn't find an ad for that Sunnyside card. There was a note in the "Today's Sport" list that there was wrestling at Sunnyside Gardens at 2pm. Given that there was only one match on the card listed on WD, it could be an error that goes back to the Johnny Valentine record book. I removed the card, and hopefully the real card will turn up one day.

www.nyprowrestling.com/The above site has this card for the date in question. As to how accurate this or anything else on the site is I can't speak to. The site mentions clippings but I can't see clippings for any cards rso take it for what it's worth I guess. 02/05/1966 WWWF - Sunnyside, NY - Sunnyside Garden (matinee) Tony Altimore vs Pete Sanchez Ronnie Etchison vs Angelo Savoldi Arnold Skaaland & Antonio Pugliese vs Smasher Sloan & Magnificent Maurice Miguel Perez vs The Beast Bill Miller (NC) Johnny Valentine

How realistic is it that Miller and Valentine would work a 2pm show in NYC then wrestle that same evening in Detroit/Chicago?
Everyone else on that card is free that day, there are no other known cards. My guess is that that listing is the advertised card without results with an erroneous results from the Johnny Valentine record book added. There are quite a few cards from that period where the only result is for Valentine, and I think that there is a fair amount of, shall we say, guesswork involved.

Miller and Valentine worked the previous card at Sunnyside Garden against each other on January 15. I'm removing their NC from the February card as an error.
