1932
Athens, Greece
"This is when the first shows with local Greek names start happening or perhaps when the Greek sports press started writing about such shows. Among those early Greek wrestlers are the aforementioned boxer-turned-wrestler Nikolaos Iliopoulos, Jim Vlos, Moshidis, K. Tofalos (not Dimitrios Tofalos) and Paraschos Boras. The important name to remember here is Boras. He would become the first breakout star on the Greek scene and would be the top Greek wrestler of the 1930s." - Phil Lions

1933
Athens, Greece
"By the looks of it 1933 is when things really started picking up. There were weekly shows in Athens consistently throughout the year. Sometimes even two shows per week. The shows were usually held on Sundays at cinema and theater halls. As such they weren't big shows by any means, as the venues held a couple of thousand fans at the most if even that, but still now all of a sudden there was an Athens pro wrestling scene, which didn't seem to have existed before. Boras and Moshidis were the two most consistent headliners in 1933, but this was the year when a lot of new faces started appearing on the scene: Georgios Kleitomachos, Maxis Galatis, Panagiotis Adam, Markopoulos, Kyrilenko, etc." - Phil Lions

"There was another notable debut - Haralambos Karpozilos. Originally Haralambos, or Harry as he was known, was a football (soccer) player. During one of the games he got into an argument with the referee and knocked him out. That got him a 3-year suspension from football and that's when Karpozilos decided to go into wrestling instead. What's notable about Karpozilos is that he would have a long wrestling career in Greece both as wrestler and as a promoter. He would become one of the biggest stars in Greek pro wrestling history and also one of the two Greek wrestlers from his generation who wrestled the most internationally. Karpozilos's opponent for his debut was S. Ananiadis." - Phil Lions

Athens, Greece
This year "continued the trend 1933 had set - regular weekly shows [here] throughout the year.
...
1934 was the year when shows outside of Athens started popping up.
...
It's also interesting to see foreign names being brought in for shows in Greece - the Bulgarian Georgieff, the Turk Oglou and the Yugoslavian Sava Rajkovic all worked in Greece that year. At this point the Greek scene was still very closed off from the world, but a couple of decades later it would start relying heavily on foreign talent." - Phil Lions

This "was the year of Paraschos Boras. This was the year the Athens scene started to build a lot of steam and Boras was the major headliner throughout the year. There were the usual weekly shows throughout the year, some now being held in open-air venues, but things really peaked in September.
...
Elias Panagos and Dimitrios Karydas emerged on the scene. Both would become popular names in the years that followed.
...
Also, it's interesting to note that one of the venues now hosting the shows in Athens was called Wagram, named after the Paris venue Salle Wagram. A couple of years later there would also be a Palais des Sports venue in Athens. The French influence was clearly rubbing off on the Greeks, which is not surprising given that Paris was the hottest pro wrestling town in Europe during the 1930s." - Phil Lions

1936
Athens, Greece
"The local scene of 1936 was very much the Boras show. He continued defeating other wrestlers left and right and defending his Greek title. His biggest opponent that year was Dimitrios Karydas. The two wrestled at least six times in Athens that I know of and at least two of those matches were for the championship.
....
[by the end of the year Harry] Karpozilos had wins over the two top Greek stars, Boras and Kleitomachos, on his record and his popularity was definitely on the rise.
...
[Georgios] Kleitomachos did a gimmick where he would wrestle three wrestlers on the same show, one right after the other.
...
The Greek scene during 1936 was definitely very vibrant. The crowds weren't particularly big just yet, but shows were being put on regularly and new faces continued to burst onto the scene. A newspaper article from late 1936 estimates that during this time there were around 150 active wrestlers in Athens alone. 1936 saw the emergence of Andreas Lambrakis, who would end up becoming one of the biggest stars in the history of Greek pro wrestling. Jim Spanopoulos (later known as Jim Spanos) was another future star who appeared on the scene in 1936." - Phil Lions

1937
Athens, Greece
"Wrestling in Chios, and other Greek islands, was becoming popular. Karpozilos and Lambrakis continued to climb the ranks during this year. Both toured the country as headlining acts and in Athens they kicked off their rivalry with a pair of matches, a rivalry that would last through the early 1960s. Years later Karpozilos vs. Lambrakis would turn into the biggest Greek vs. Greek rivalry in the history of Greek pro wrestling as the two battled for the top Greek spot on a number of occasions. During 1937 Lambrakis also got to wrestle Boras for the first time.
...
Speaking of Boras, he kept defending his Greek title throughout the year.
This is good place to make a quick sidenote and mention that the important Greek matches back then could often go over an hour, but [October 10, 1947] is the longest Greek pro wrestling match that I know of. Also, it's interesting to mention that while not all, some of the matches were being worked in rounds and that continued through the next couple of decades.
...
And one final note about 1937. Christos Kadas and Christos Melissovas (later known as Chris Averoff in the States) emerged on the scene during the year. Well, Kadas started in 1935, but he finally got some notoriety in 1938. Both guys would become popular names later on." - Phil Lions

"1938 was dominated by the Boras/Kleitomachos feud, but before we get to that let's talk about another much talked about match that did not take place. Harry Mamos, a wrestler of Greek descent who had wrestled in the States for years and was fresh off an Australian tour, returned to Greece. Even before he returned there was a lot of talk in the Greek press that either on July 3rd or 10th Mamos would wrestle Dan Koloff at the Panatheniac Stadium in Athens. The match seemed to be a go, but then it just fell through. I don't know why, but here's my speculation. You see, in January of 1938 Koloff, while still the reigning European Heavyweight champion, stepped away from the ring due to health issues. He never officially announced that he's retired as he kept hoping he'd be able to make a comeback, but for all intents and purposes he was retired as his health kept getting worse and worse (he had tuberculosis). During this time Koloff was promoting shows in his native Bulgaria and would soon be going on some business trips to Turkey, with there being rumors that he was considering establishing a booking office/territory of sorts in the Balkan region much like the one he had run in NorCal back in the early to mid 1930s. My belief is that the likely plan was to use the Koloff/Mamos match as a starting point of them getting into Greece and running shows there. You see, back in 1934 they had already done a similar thing in Australia as the two of them leased the local Rushcutters Bay Stadium in Sydney and supplied the wrestlers while the local National Boxing Club promoted the shows. My best guess is that they had a similar plan for Greece, but Koloff's health didn't allow him to do the match and ultimately they decided against doing business in Greece. Anyway, this is just pure speculation on my part." - Phil Lions

"Two different rankings appeared in the Greek sports press [during this month]. According to these rankings these were the top Greek wrestlers of 1937. First ranking (in that order): Boras & Panagos splitting the first spot, Karydas, Lambrakis, Kyrilenko, Karpozilos and so on. Panagos, of course, was fresh off his big win over Boras and that's probably what elevated him in the eyes of the writer. It's somewhat surprising that Kleitomachos is missing, but it's understandable since he spent almost the entire year abroad (wrestling in France and, I think, England too). Second ranking (in that order): Kleitomachos, Boras, Galatis, Lambrakis, Karydas, Panagos, Karpozilos and so on." - Phil Lions
