I'm doing a bunch of Hawaii research today. Does anyone know why several sources (wrestlingdata, cagematch and wrestlingtitlehistories) have a show listed on February 15, 1963 with two title changes that never happened??
NWA Hawaii Tag Team Title Match
Lord Blears & Neff Maiava defeat King Curtis & Tosh Togo (c) - TITLE CHANGE !!!
NWA Hawaii Heavyweight Title Match
Gene LeBell defeats Neff Maiava (c) - TITLE CHANGE !!!
---------------------------------------------
Gene LeBell was never Hawaii Heavyweight champion and I'm starting to believe that Maiava actually held the title without interruption from April 4, 1962 (wins from the Masked Executioner (Vic Christy) until February 5, 1964 (loses to Hard Boiled Haggerty)
Some sources also say that Maiava regained the title from LeBell on April 24, 1963. This is definitely false

12/25/63 Honolulu
Neff Maiava beat Fred Blassie
-------------------------------------
This is not the correct result. This match which was 2/3 falls for Maiava's Hawaii Heavyweight Title was a "Draw" [1:1]. The newspaper does not specify or give any times. It could have been a DDQ or Double Count Out. But it was not a victory for Maiava
