Ruslan has answered the question before me Ost. I haven't any access to The Guardian so can't help, but there is a Guardian archive
https://theguardian.newspapers.com/
the answer is SIMPLE. newspaper . com Historical Newspaper Archive. I clipped it from there.
A good find Ruslan. Interesting as this was at the Free Trade Hall whilst the following night there was the usual Belle Vue show. Dick Rogers was still running Belle Vue in 1955 and it looks like Joint were muscling in, ready to take over Belle Vue the following year.
One non wrestling point. The article is labelled "The Guardian." There was no Guardian in 1955, it was (as the second piece shows) The Manchester Guardian. It changed it's name in 1959.
