As Bill Latrany (listing agent for the building, currently for sale) can tell you, the Lorain Arena wasn't just for roller skating. Many different types of events were held there, including concerts and wrestling matches as seen here.
In this case, the main event of the evening was Fritz & Waldo Von Erich versus the Gallagher Brothers. This wiki entry reveals that (gasp) Waldo Von Erich was only the stage name of Canadian wrestler Walter Sieber. He is not really related to his wrestling 'brother' Fritz.
As for the opening match that night, here's a link for information about Baron Gattoni on the www.onlineworldofwrestling.com site. His opponent that night, Tony Marino, has a page as well, if you click here.
That's what's so great about the internet, you can find out something about just about anything!
Maybe fans of these particular wrestlers will find this post someday and get a kick out of it.
