The year opened with a card held on Monday January 2, 1950 in Shreveport, Louisiana at the Municipal Auditorium. Promoter Gladden Harrison presented a card that opened with Rex Mobley defeating Mike (Rodeo Red) Ryan in a one fall bout. In the second event Joe Wolfe won over Wild Bill Steddum in another one fall bout. In the final one fall preliminary match, The Black Phantom pinned Charlie Laye after flattening him with a piledriver. Laye was left unconscious and had to be carried to the dressing room.
The main event was to have been a six-man tag team match but with Laye unable to compete it became a handicap tag team match with Mobley & Wolfe facing off with the threesome of Steddum, Ryan & the Black Phantom. With the odds on their side, the trio scored two straight falls to win the match handily.
The following evening, promoter Gus Kallio presented a card at his Kallio’s Arena in Monroe, Louisiana. On that card a recovered Charlie Laye battled Wild Bill Steddum to a 30 minute draw in the opener. The Black Phantom defeated Bobby Lane in 8 minutes to win the second event.
The main event saw Laye & Lane teaming to take on Steddum & the Black Phantom in a tag team match. Laye won the first fall for his team as he pinned Steddum after 8 minutes. In the second fall, the Phantom worked over Laye with forearm and elbow blows using a pad that he was wearing on his right elbow. Finally referee Bill Barney stopped the action and summonsed Dr. J.T. French, the wrestling commission doctor, to examine the pad. The doctor gave it a look over, stated that he found no irregularity and the match resumed. The Phantom continued to punish Laye before tagging in Steddum. Steddum applied a hammerlock on Laye and forced him to the mat. Steddum then began stomping Laye’s arm while maintaining the hammerlock. Laye was finally forced to submit after 18 minutes of action. Laye & Lane spent much of the third and final fall working over the Phantom. The masked man managed to knock Lane to the mat with a bodyblock and stomped him in the throat. The Phantom then applied his piledriver and pinned Lane after 8 minutes to win the fall and the match. It took several minutes for Lane to regain consciousness, but he was able to walk back to the dressing room under his own power.
That same Tuesday evening in Baton Rouge, Mrs. Jimmy Kilshaw presented her first card of the year in Baton Rouge at the VFW Hall. The card opened with a women’s match with Celia Blevins, a last minute substitute for an ailing Ellen Olsen, taking on Juanita Coffman. Blevins won the first fall with a backbreaker and pin on Coffman in 13 minutes. Coffman came back and pinned Blevins in 17 minutes to win the second fall. Blevins used some rough tactics in the third and deciding fall. She hit Coffman with a flying tackle and pinned her to win the fall and the match.
In the main event featured Jack (Sockeye) McDonald, the current World’s Jr. Heavyweight Champion, taking on Billy (Cue Ball) Rush in a non-title match. McDonald used a series of snap-mares on Rush and pinned him to win the first fall. Rush applied his cobra sleeper hold on McDonald in the second fall. The hold was illegal in the state of Louisiana and referee Jake Guercio attempted to force Rush to break but McDonald gave up before that could happen and Rush won the fall. Rush tried again to use the cobra hold in the third and deciding fall, again with Guercio trying to prevent it. McDonald used another series of snap-mares on Rush and pinned him to win the third fall and the match.
On Wednesday January 4, 1950 at Thompson’s Arena in Alexandria, Louisiana was the site of a card presented by promoter Jimmie Thompson. That card opened with a match featuring lady wrestlers as Cecilia Blevins, again a substitute for Ellen Olsen, took on Juanita Coffman in a best two out of three falls match.

In the semi-final match Joe Wolfe teamed with Charlie Laye to take on Wild Bill Steddum & the Black Phantom. Each team had a fall apiece going into the deciding fall. Wolfe caught the Phantom in a rolling cradle but the two assigned referees, Pat Willis and Red Ryan, were busy arguing with one another and didn’t see the pin. Steddum rushed in and kicked Wolfe off of his masked partner and helped the Phantom cover Wolfe. Willis counted the fall and awarded the match to Steddum & the Phantom.
In the main event, World Light-Heavyweight Champion Balk Estes put his title on the line against the challenge of Henry Harrell. Harrell pinned Estes with a jackknife to take the first fall. Estes came back and applied his alligator clutch to Harrell to win the second fall and even the score. During the third and deciding fall, Estes grabbed Harrell and rammed him headfirst into the ringpost. Instead of going down, Harrell went into a blind rage and tossed Estes and referee Pat Willis from the ring and would not let either man re-enter. Charlie Laye and Bobby Lane came out and tried to calm Harrell down, but they too were sent flying from the ring. Even promoter Billy Romanoff got the rough treatment when he entered the ring to try and restore order. Things finally calmed down until Estes got back into the ring. Harrell tore after him again and it took Laye, Lane, Romanoff and several policemen to separate the two and get them back to the dressing room. The match was declared a no contest.
The following week on Monday in Shreveport, the card opened with Joe Wolfe defeating Rodeo Red Ryan in the one fall opener.
The semi-main was a tag team match featuring the team of Balk Estes & Joe Wolfe taking on Wild Bill Steddum & Red Ryan. Estes won the first fall for his team while Wolfe scored the second fall, giving Estes & Wolfe the match in straight falls.
The main event saw Rex Mobley facing the Black Phantom. The Phantom pinned Mobley to win the first fall and turned up the rough tactics in the second. He tossed Mobley from the ring and turned his attention to referee Conway Baker. The masked man applied his dreaded piledriver on Baker and left him lying near unconsciousness. The Phantom then dragged Mobley into the ring and flattened him with the piledriver. Baker came too long enough to count Mobley out before passing out again, giving the Black Phantom the match in two straight falls.
The following night in Monroe, Charlie Laye & Joe Wolfe teamed to take on the Black Phantom & Wild Bill Steddum in the main event tag team match. Bobby Lane, still recovering from the results of the Black Phantom’s piledriver the week before, was assigned as the referee. The match was even at a fall apiece going into the third fall when Laye managed get Steddum into a pinning combination. Lane, a bit woozy, failed to make the count. The Phantom dashed into the ring and stomped Laye in the head, allowing Steddum to counter and pin Laye. Lane regained his senses and counted Laye out and awarded the match to Steddum & the Phantom. Promoter Gus Kallio announced that he would let the decision stand, but Lane would no longer be allowed to officiate matches in Monroe.

The semi-main event had Nick Kapitan facing Garza Lozano in a best two out of three falls match. Lozano got a little rough with referee George Thomas in the first fall and Thomas joined Kapitan to work Lozano over, which allowed Kapitan to pin him to win the first fall. Lozano came back and pinned Kapitan to win the second fall and tie the match. In the third and deciding fall Kapitan sent Lozano hurdling into a corner and as the Mexican was on his knees and member of the audience rushed up and punched him in the face several times. That riled Lozano up and he tore out after the fan and chased him from the arena and into the arms of a deputy sheriff and a state trooper. Returning to the ring, Lozano also tore into Kapitan with every dirty trick he could muster. Finally referee Thomas stopped the match and disqualified Lozano, giving the fall and the match to Kapitan.
The main event featured a 10 round boxing match between Sockeye Jack McDonald and Phil Brummett. Brummett, an Alexandria native, had the decided advantage as he had been a pro boxer for a brief period on the West Coast. The match came about from a brewing feud between him and McDonald that had started several weeks prior during a wrestling match. Brummett easily outscored McDonald in the first two rounds and was doing much the same in the third. McDonald finally swung a wild haymaker that landed squarely on the jaw of Brummett and sent him crashing to the mat. Brummett was down for the count and McDonald was awarded the match.

Harrell pinned Estes to take the first fall and was well on his way to winning the second when he missed a flying tackle aimed at Estes. Harrell sailed through the ropes and into the ringside chairs. He managed to climb back into the ring but was favoring his back. Estes tossed him out onto the floor once again, further aggravating the injured back. Estes finally brought him back into the ring and easily pinned him to win the second fall. Many fans in attendance figured that Harrell would be unable to continue but he managed to come back out for the third and deciding fall. Harrell had Estes close to being pinned with referee Claude Skidmore reaching the count of two of four different occasions.

The Shadow won the first fall and then chased Cologne back to the dressing room. Cologne came back and pinned the masked man to win the second fall after using several dirty tactics on him to wear him down. The Shadow used an alligator clutch to score the third and deciding fall to win the match.
In the main event, popular Sockeye Jack McDonald faced the equally unpopular Garza Lozano. Lozano had McDonald blinded after rubbing something into his eyes in the first fall. Referee Phil Brummett searched Lozano several times but could not find whatever substance Lozano was using. McDonald managed to clear his vision and caught Lozano in an abdominal stretch and forced him to submit to win the first fall. Lozano floored McDonald with a crushing right hand blow to the jaw and pinned him to win the second fall. Lozano resorted to gouging McDonald’s eyes before again dropping him with a punch to the jaw in the deciding fall. The huge Lozano then attempted a diving splash on McDonald in order to pin him, but McDonald rolled out of the way at the last possible second. Lozano crashed to the mat and was easily pinned by McDonald, giving the fall and the match to the popular Sockeye.

In the main event Charlie Laye took on the feared Black Phantom. Laye, like Mobley, had been injured previously by the Phantom’s piledriver and was seeking some payback.

After the fall, the Phantom grabbed Laye and applied the piledriver and knocked him unconscious. Referee Conway Baker immediately disqualified the Phantom and awarded the second fall and the match to Laye before the fall actually started.

The final week of January opened with a card in Shreveport on Monday. Henry Harrell met Balk Estes in the first match of the evening. Harrell was trying to secure another match for Estes’ World Light-Heavyweight title and hoped a victory in this non-title match would do the trick. Surprisingly, Estes stuck to the rules in the first fall and managed to upend Harrell and pin him to take the fall. Harrell won the second fall, but things got a little testy between the two and punches were exchanged during the fall. In the third and deciding fall, both men were wrapped in a stalemate when both applied the same hold to one another. Both agreed to release the hold and try again from scratch, but Estes sucker punched Harrell on the break. He then pinned the stunned Harrell and won the fall and the match.
The main event was a grudge match between Charlie Laye and the Black Phantom. Laye convinced promoter Gladden Harrison to have the Phantom’s suspension lifted so he could gain revenge for the two injuries he had suffered at the hands of the masked man’s deadly piledriver hold. Laye pinned the Phantom to score the first fall of the match while the Phantom came back to win the next two falls by forcing Laye to submit. The Phantom never even attempted to apply the piledriver.

In the third and deciding fall Kapitan sent Lozano hurdling into a corner and as the Mexican was on his knees and member of the audience rushed up and punched him in the face several times. That riled Lozano up and he tore out after the fan and chased him from the arena and into the arms of a deputy sheriff and a state trooper. Returning to the ring, Lozano also tore into Kapitan with every dirty trick he could muster. Finally referee Thomas stopped the match and disqualified Lozano, giving the fall and the match to Kapitan.
The main event featured a 10 round boxing match between Sockeye Jack McDonald and Phil Brummett. Brummett, an Alexandria native, had the decided advantage as he had been a pro boxer for a brief period on the West Coast. The match came about from a brewing feud between him and McDonald that had started several weeks prior during a wrestling match.
