*** See previous post***
These dates are not correct. This was a Wednesday night and these guys were not doing 3 shows including one in Bangor ME.
1/17/68 Hershey, PA Earl Maynard beat Guillotine Gordon Bull Ramos beat Arnold Skoaland Wes Hutchins beat Angelo Savoldi Baron Mikel Scicluna, Luke Graham, Toru Tanaka & Hans Mortier beat Dominic DeNucci, Antonio Pugliese, Mario Frateroli & Victor Rivera
1/17/68 Philadelphia, PA Bull Ramos & Toru Tanaka beat Bruno Sammartino & Dominic DeNucci
-------------------------------
Hershey PA is actually JANUARY 8, 1968 (exact same main event)
And I cannot confirm it, but I believe the tag on 1/17 Philly is actually leftover from the January 13th TV Tapings
