Honolulu Rising, 1934


Recommended Posts

The Hawaiian Sands, Weekly Wrestling Sheet

 

Ed Ratsch spoke to reporters today, December 28th, 1933, saying, "My eyes have been opened. I have seen the future. It is a Christmas Miracle." and declaring that a new era of professional level wrestling would be beginning at The Pan-Pacific Athletic Club. The Club spokesman said that he had already gone to the elusive, and highly regarded, owner of the P-PAC, Professor Henry Okazaki, and The Professor had approved his new vision.

Professor Okazaki and Ed Ratsch

 

Ratsch seemed to imply an important announcement would occur at the next All Star Wrestling event scheduled for just a few days from now, headlined by Henry "King" Tut taking on "The Monkey Man" Jacques Manuel. It will be a distinct clash of styles as Manuel's elusive, agile technique will be pitted against the flamboyant power of the former boxer!

King Tut vs Jacques Manuel is set for All Star Wrestling

 

My sources on the inside say that old Eddie Ratsch has been highly animated behind the scenes and truly believes the coming century of American Wrestling starts in Honolulu this year.

 

But if anyone asks, dear readers, you didn't hear it from me. Let's just keep this one between ourselves, silent as the shoreline sands, and as always: On the QT.

Weekly Wrestling Sheet. Meet Trash Can

The assistant to Manuel Calhau scrammed right after delivering his boss the wrestling sheet. Normally, it would be about Calhau and his booker Ed Ratsch's upcoming show. But this time its different. Ratsch went on his own. His own Pan-Pacific federation. What?! Aloha Entertainment isn't enough?

Calhau throws the sheet into his office trash can. He resides to put it in the back of his head. He has a main event to put on.

 

Tuesday Night

 

Danny McShane vs. Walter Achiu

Honolulu Wrestling Tuesday Week 1

from the Honolulu Civic Center

d2f64c6861cc18050a055ffff405ca2a.jpg

 

Our announcer and bastion of local wrestling promotions, let's us know that real Honolulu Wrestling comes from the Civic Center on tuesdays only. Anything that has come out recently in the rags---is just hearsay.

 

101206372_10158182175226278_18519147361075200_n.jpg?_nc_cat=101&_nc_sid=b9115d&_nc_ohc=z0v09UsqaWoAX8Jg1E7&_nc_ht=scontent.fagc1-1.fna&oh=08202282969948293629d219d0208788&oe=5EF92AB7

 

Match 1:

Rubberman Higami

vs.

Henry Calejo

Hawaiian star Rubberman Higami ran circles around local talent Henry Calejo. The fans felt the match was too short. 26

Higami stops at the commentating desk and has a few words for the fans.

 

"Thank you to the fans who came out to see Hawaii's best..but no thank you...No thank you to whoever decided I should be out first against this no-name.

 

'No thank you' to the person that robbed my fans of a real show.

 

'No thank you' to the person who thinks your main event should be McShane and Sneezey Achiu.

 

No thank you, No thank you, No thank you." 65

 

Match 2:

Don Hill

vs.

Luis de La Torre

 

XPNV1h8.jpgmDn5FdF.jpg

 

Neither man brought a lot of reaction from the crowd, with the exception of the match ended. Both men collided outside the ring causing them to not make the ref's count. 20

 

Match 3:

Shin'ichi Shikuma

vs.

Marion Fretas

 

MTeXKaE.jpg

 

Not to be outdone, Shikuma forced a local lad to tap out---in a violent submission, debuting his new "Violent on the Inside" gimmick. 19

 

Match 4:

Billy Wiedner

vs.

Louis Mendonca

 

QwYpyV7.jpg

 

Billy Wiedner now portraying a "Breaker of Bones" gimmick does just that against a local talent. At this point, the fans have had enough of this shit. 16

 

Main Event

Walter Achiu

vs.

Danny McShane

 

jAxyE9o.jpgsI4Udll.jpg

 

Finally, the fans get some action, however adequate it is. In another short match, Achiu gets a flashpinfall over the mustacheod bully Danny McShane. 41

 

Rubberman Higami steps back out with a post shower robe. He walks towards the ring where Walter Achiu is celebrating.

 

4BHlung.jpg

 

Higami slow claps. Honest? Condescendingly?

 

Higami's shouts over the ring, where some fans believe him to be congratulating Walter Achiu. Some aren't too sure.

Overall:32 As the fans file out of the Civic Center, promoter Manuel Calhou reassures them that this is a transition period. His scoundrel of a matchmaker Ed Vast left him--and YOU...high and dry. Just wait and see.

<p></p><div style="text-align:center;"><p><strong>The Hawaiian Sands, Weekly Wrestling Sheet</strong></p><p> </p><p>

<strong>Top Story: </strong> Aloha Entertainment's last show was a stinker. Fans think that its recent loss of Ed Ratsch is to blame. Ratsch announced both a new weekly show on Mondays and is in negotiation with World Wide talent.</p><p> </p><p>

<strong>Local Wrestling News:</strong></p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong>

Aloha Entertainment-</strong>Backstage news is that notorious bully, Danny McShane had shown up late for this weeks Tuesday night show. With the reviews going around, many of the fans wish they didn't show up at all.</p><p> </p><p>

Rumor is that Aloha's Manuel Calhou has been looking at 'drastic measures' to fix his program and hush the arrival of any competiton.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>

"You say you haven't heard of him. I see...yes, will get right on it. But you also know, we have now have EXCLUSIVE RIGHTS to Walter Achiu. Just think...all your radio listeners from Eureaka to Chula Vista, will be forced to turn on KNX to find out who he has defeated."
