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

Dales in particular had strict code of behaviour including swearing and other joint members followed.i knew of one lad who received a warning about bookings after questioning the parentage of a referee. Leon arras often used the word bugger but was never questioned.on how the reg Maxwell hall reacted to Johnny Czelaws Swhine . Interestingly racist remarks went down badly in the dressing room perhaps we weren't all neanderthals,however homophobic jibes were almost the norm. The award for swear words per sentence outside and whispered inside the ring goes to Dales referee .............. Any ideas
