hopefully wont bore you al with this whilst investigating Wrytons origins I came across a strategy by two of Joints members that were I'm sure rare in the 1960s, that is self suffiency.Dale had a in house printing operation and an external company ,they had a pr dept for internal and external work,transport company,cafes and b and bs no wonder Jack Dempsey said Dales were the innovators in control and operations.Meanwhile Norman Morrel had a b and b a cafe and an Bradford printers all this activity whilst managing the logistics and massaging workers egos to produce results.So what about Wryton hopefully I'll soon complete my research and give details however I'm sure it' was the only wrestling promoters connected to prize winning Cheshire

Suppose B and Bs were essential for wrestlers too far from home to get back late at night
I had always considered Dale Martins as a load of wrestlers, MCs and referees and a handful of old men in the office.
Paul's explanation is fascinating in that the organisation was much wider spread and had more staff.
So Paul, if you were Steve Viedor or Bill Torontos or Brian Maxine or Johnny Czeslaw or Charlie Fisher or Steve Logan any of those long-term trusties, what other duties did you have apart from your nightly 25 minutes?
sorry I missed farm off prize winning Cheshire.
The wrestlers must have felt secure working within Dale Martin's enormous structure. Secure to get mortgages and things.
Hence the necessary discipline to ensure they didn't get lax inside or outside the ring.
The Mike Judds of the business get a terrible bashing in general, but anyone who's operated in a managerial position knows the importance of discipline in maintaining standards.
Dale Martin in it's heyday was an amazing operation that covered just about every town of any size in the south. I knew about their in house printing and transport fleet but had no idea about the B&Bs. Were these to provide accommodation for wrestlers?
