I met the nephew of Karl Von Hess last week, here in Williston. He's down from PA. on vacation, which he plans around the Gator Nationals in Gainesville every year. Anyways, he told me that he does not have anything from Karl's carreer other than a couple of promo pictures and a video. By chance, does anyone have any clippings and or results they can post on this thread? He is going to be here untill the first week of April and I was going to print everything up and give to him, along with copies of all the programs that I have with him. Any help is greatly appreciated.

I was going to do a quick Google news archive search for Von Hess, but all the results I find come up as pay-to-read. I'm sure there will be a lot of material already found, though.
love that match from Wrestling's Greatest Heroes featuring Karl against Ricki Starr, opening with a closeup of KVH and the announcer narration, "Welcome to the Harrah Show!"

I met the nephew of Karl Von Hess last week, here in Williston. He's down from PA. on vacation, which he plans around the Gator Nationals in Gainesville every year. Anyways, he told me that he does not have anything from Karl's carreer other than a couple of promo pictures and a video. By chance, does anyone have any clippings and or results they can post on this thread? He is going to be here untill the first week of April and I was going to print everything up and give to him, along with copies of all the programs that I have with him. Any help is greatly appreciated.

I was going to do a quick Google news archive search for Von Hess, but all the results I find come up as pay-to-read. I'm sure there will be a lot of material already found, though.
love that match from Wrestling's Greatest Heroes featuring Karl against Ricki Starr, opening with a closeup of KVH and the announcer narration, "Welcome to the Harrah Show!"
