Results: Pro Wrestling in Cartagena (1952-1978)

A collection of pro wrestling results from Cartagena, Spain.

Cartagena is a port city in the southeast of Spain. Unlike the big Spanish cities such as Madrid and Barcelona, back in the 1950s-1970s smaller cities like Cartagena didn't have weekly wrestling cards all throughout the year, but for over 20 years there were occasional open-air shows at the local Cartagena bullring. The Cartagena bullring had a seating capacity of 8,000, although for wrestling it could probably fit more.

Plaza de toros de Cartagena

With Cartagena being a smaller market the top Spanish stars didn't come there often. Guys like Jose Tarres, Pedro Bengoechea, Victorio Ochoa, Jim Oliver, Jesus Chausson, etc. worked only a handful of matches in Cartagena.

A number of foreign stars did work matches in Cartagena too: Paul Lincoln, Gilbert Leduc, Stan Karolyi, Rene Ben Chemoul, Tommy Mann, Nikolai Zigulinoff, George Kidd, Liano Pellacani, Conde Daidone, Rito Romero, Robert Duranton, Mustapha Shikane, Tarzan Taborda, Hans Schnabel, Kiyomigawa, Axel Dieter, Arpad Weber, Dory Dixon, etc.

Perhaps the most popular star in Cartagena was the lightweight Modesto Aledo, who was actually from Cartagena and therefore was seen as a local hero of sorts. He was a multi-time World and European champion and had the reputation of being one of the very best European workers of his era. Another guy who was a national star in Spain and worked quite a bit in Cartagena was the light heavyweight Rafael Blasco (a multi-time Spanish and European champion). And finally I have to also mention Julian Pizarro, Jorge Ochando and Lucon. They didn't have big national reputations (well, perhaps Pizarro did to a certain expent), but all three were a regular fixture on the Cartagena cards and by the looks of it all three were pretty popular in Cartagena.

Left to right: Modesto Aledo, Rafael Blasco, Julian Pizarro, Jorge Ochando, Lucon

Below I've listed all the results and cards from Cartagena that I was able to find, but I'm missing some results and I'm very likely missing some cards as well. Wrestling coverage in the newspaper I used for the research wasn't always thorough, unfortunately. The quotes describing the attendance come from the local press.

For a while there were also shows at an open-air arena called El Copo, which was located in one of the main parks in Cartagena. I don't know what the capacity was, but I would guess several thousand, at least. The shows at El Copo were not promoted by Luis Gil, who was still promoting at the bullring that same year, so now there were two promotions in Cartagena. The promotion was listed as Empresa de El Copo and the promoter's name was Reyes. Later on during the season it was mentioned that Luis Bamala of Madrid was also involved with the El Copo shows (probably just supplying talent, but he may have been involved in the booking too). Bamala was one of the major Spanish wrestling (as well as boxing) promoters of the era and over the course of his career he promoted shows in Madrid, Barcelona, Zaragoza and elsewhere.
