[Shootkick Man]

One name I wanted to point out in these results is Herb Welch. Part of the famous Welch/Fields family. Herb was trained by his brother Roy and they were both shooters. Herb was one of the biggest draws in Tennessee. As matter of fact Roy and Herb had the first ever tag team match in Louisville in the mid 40s.
