A Handful of really Great Wrestlers from Overseas visited our Shores in the 1950's!
One of Europe's Top Wrestling Stars of the Time was The Heavyweight Champion of
ITALY!!-MARIO MATASSA!-Billed as a 'Stocky Dreadnought of the Mat' and hailing from
GENOA-MARIO was a Leading Contender for the European Title!!
He had-among many- 2 particularly Memorable Clashes with our own JUDO AL HAYES
at the ROYAL PIER PAVILION SOUTHAMPTON and against RAY APOLLON at the
ASSEMBLY HALL TUNBRIDGE WELLS! MARIO was one of the most Popular Wrestlers
ever to Fight in BELGIUM where he was highly regarded!
Definitely a Stand-Out Heavyweight of this Decade!
