The magazione throws up another delightful period piece showing the mindset of copycat promoters:
McManners is the benchmark. But look at the date - diminutive Bill Torontos was starting to appear on Dale Martin bills up against the top heavyweights of the day, including John Da Silva and The Outlaw. All mismatches,
This promoter must have seen this well in advance and decided to copy Toronos in advance of his arrival.
They even made him Canadian. Fascinating.
Makes me to wonder whether the promoter had some inside knowledge or connection at 313 Brixton Road.
And to think I saw the same main event of incredibly new ladies wrestling nearly twenty years later, thinking it was all new - and they had been doing the rounds since 1964!!!
In the litigious 21st century they wouldn't get away with mentioning ITV so explicitly, I imagine?
Not 1962 but certainly 1963.
