At a recent event in Balham there was some swearing from the wrestlers. It occurred to me that during "the Golden Era" I do not recall any bad language at all.Was this just because it was forbidden by the promoters? Or just confined to the dressing room

The bottom of a poster I have from a 1971 Jack Atherton show at Imperial Balroom Nelson has a warning about the use of "obscene language" by any person. Also prohibited is the throwing of missiles or intefering with wrestlers on their way to and from the ring. The threatened punnishment includes being evicted from the hall and being reported to the police.
