Harmon and MacGeorge, of course, reprising their voice roles from the 1966 animated L&H series, co-produced by Harmon with Hanna-Barbera.

Interestingly, while MacGeorge voiced Oliver Hardy in these cartoons, he went on to portray Stan Laurel to Chuck McCann's Oliver Hardy in many commercials and live appearances. Actually, both MacGeorge and McCann could do excellent vocal impersonations of both members of the famous duo, but their respective physical builds quite obviously destined them to the live action roles they essayed. ;)
 
When I was posting this, I seemed to recall Chuck McCann
playing Ollie on occasion; likewise, Jim MacGeorge as Stan.
You're right; they have the physical build for those respective
roles (Chuck, especially, being a rather chunky individual).

I think WTCG ran Georgia Championship Wrestling with a different announcer than Gordon Solie,who I think came to Georgia in 1973(He was doing Championship Wrestling from Florida,which He did alongside GCW).
 
I'm thinking that it might have been Sterling
Brewer, because I believe that around that
time he was commuting back and forth between
Birmingham and Atlanta, doing wrestling shows
in both cities. He is, of course, most closely
identified with the Birmingham show on WBMG
(now WIAT).

Yeah it was Sterling Brewer! Sterling I think did wrestling announcing in Atlanta less than a year before Gordon Solie was hired by GCW.
 
I knew he didn't stay with GCW very long. When
Ch. 17 started carrying All South Wrestling (the former
Atlanta Wrestling on Ch. 11, promoted by Ann Gunkel,
widow of wrestler Ray Gunkel), Ed Capral remained as
the announcer (he worked some of the World Wide
Wrestling shows at WRAL Raleigh before Rich Landrum
became permanent announcer).
