Not so long ago we were discussing how far Promoters could push 'Boundaries' and keep
within what was feasible and believable in the Wrestling World?!
We talked-at length-about MIKE MARINO-a 60 Year old World MID-HEAVYWEIGHT Champion!-ANGLO and I Sparred over whether it was 'Credible' to Bill STEVE LOGAN as a
HEAVYWEIGHT-It wasn't!
But here's one that completely blows Common Sense right out of the water!!
How would we Classify VIC FAULKNER'S Weight Division??
WELTERWEIGHT to begin with?-Yes!
MIDDLEWEIGHT-later on?-Yes!-He held Titles at BOTH these Weights!
HEAVY-MIDDLEWEIGHT?- Yes!-O.K.-at a pinch I can go with that!
BUT THAT'S IT!-Surely NO Heavier-Surely?.....
WRONG!
Here we have VIC FAULKNER in the Twilight of his Wrestling Career!!- Challenging non other than a Young and very Dangerous FIT FINLAY for his WORLD MID-HEAVYWEIGHT
Title and Belt!!!-WHATTTT???
Bout from BEDWORTH-FRIDAY 20TH APRIL 1984!!- FAULKNER'S LAST Year in the Sport!
This is so far Beyond the Realms of Credibility-it's Farcical!!
That the BOLTON Boy should agree to this says it all!! I doubt if any Fan could take this as a
Serious Challenge Match??-Another Huge Nail in the Coffin of Professional Wrestling!
Don't tell me ANGLO that you endorse this?!
Poster to follow!
