Monday Week 1, July 1983, (part two of four)

Remember how happy I was last month at this time? I’m not that happy today.

A rough month financially, losing $61,264. Ticket sales were down nearly $50k, worker cost was up nearly $40k, a brutal combination after a small $12k profit the previous month. We’re going to have to be more careful in the cost of booking shows.

Starting the new month, here are our roster positions
Main Event (8) – Sawyer, Zbyszko, Wrestling II, Anderson, Hansen, Rich, Bob Orton, Jr., Sgt. Slaughter,
Upper Midcard (8) – Gordy, Street, Bob Armstrong, Roberts, Rocco, Orndorff, Sheik, Spoiler, one not debuted
Midcard (12) – Denton, Sheik, Eaton, Halcon, Embry, Hunter, Hawk, Animal, R. Garvin, St.Clair, Marty Lunde, Rip Rogers,
Lower Midcard (6) – Thornton, Wayne, Charles,Jr, Ware, Whatley, Horner
Opener (4) – Brad Armstrong, Finlay, Lightfoot, Barber
Enhancement (1) – Cullen, Starbuck, P. Rose
Occasional – Thunderbolt Patterson, Mr. Wrestling I
