I recall a night at the Atlanta City Auditorium back in the '60s that the Mysterious Masked Medics pulled out a cloth and held it over the nose and mouth of an opponent (Can't remember who)until he fell unconscious on the mat and was pinned. To my shock, Ed Capral announced the next day on "Live Atlanta Wrestling" that after the matches that Friday night, a can containing chloroform was found on a radiator back stage in the auditorium! I remember swallowing that, hook, line, and sinker! Anyone remember that/

Rich, you are good! You have jogged my memory! So it was the Red Raiders and not the Medics. I believe the Red Raiders were Dick Dunn and Willie Garrett. And the opponents were the Torres Brothers. It's all coming back now.
