And I am sorry if as usual this is vague (and your only getting part of the picture and you have to put the puzzle together!) An American wrestling magazine, can’t remember its name. But, at the back the last few pages featured in very small print as not a great interest to a lot of the USA fans columns under the banner WRESTLING ROUND THE WORLD. It would feature CANADA, AUSTRALIA etc and of course the UK BRITISH SCENE this from the fifties. It use to rate the wrestlers in the countries too and rank them rated first to tenth. I seem to remember the UK column was written by a guy with a welsh sounding name Bill tregorden or some name like that. What interested me was it gave details of important wrestling results in the uk at the time. But also ( and this is true even at the time I thought crikey!) it not only RATED THE UK WRESTLERS BUT GAVE THEM A SCORE %BASED ON THEIR RESULTS THAT MONTH TAKING INTO ACCOUNT THEIR WIN to LOSS ratio. Very similar to a school report 😁. How they can be so accurate I have no idea I doubt they actually were! For example you would see FIRST ......FRANCIS ST CLAIR GREGORY 97% ( it might have recorded 20 bouts 19 wins) second ....and so forth is this ringing any bells with anyone?
