Thanks Bolo. The real credit goes to Johnny Weaver for keeping records of his matches.What I have been doing is typing up his TV appearances and house shows for which newspaper clippings were not already available. These will be from 1968 through 1974. Johnny averaged around 300 matches per year during that time which is amazing considering JCP wrestlers had Sunday's off back then. 1971 will be posted next.
