Note: As you can see, Johnny Weaver wrestled Leon Baxter twice on the High Point show in 1968, on August 6 and again on October 22. If you go the WGHP Studio page on the Mid-Atlantic Gateway.checkout the color photos of Charlie Harville interviewing Mr. Wrestling and Johnny Weaver. In the photo with Mr. Wrestling you can see Leon Baxter standing in the ring behind Charlie Harville. I believe the photo with Charlie interviewing Johnny Weaver is after Johnny had won over Leon Baxter. My money is on the October 22 show.
