We know that Bert Assirati promoted during the late 50’s but out all the posters and programmes that the collectors on here have generously shared with the rest of us I don’t think there has been one from any of Bert’s shows. Are these very, very rare?
The other conundrum. Night And The City is the favourite wrestling film for many members. It was based on a novel by Gerald Kersh and I have heard that he had wrestling career before the war but have not been able to find more detail. Anything known?
HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE.
Fascinating news about the great Bert A. I started regularly attending Camberwell Baths around 1964 and all wrestling was staged under the Dale Martin banner although Bobby Palmer was still MC. The South London venue proved very profitable for the promoter as it was always packed to near full capacity with some cracking contests. Believe it or not Charlie Fisher was a local hero and was always a "blue eye".
