Festival inn Trowell

It was indeed. On another thread recently I nominated Jon Lapaque as a wrestler whom I only heard of in tag matches. I now recall one night in the seventies there was deep snow at Trowell and only half of the bill had arrived at the show's official start time. The evening was due to end with a Royals versus Lapaques tag match but, due to the sparcity of wrestlers, Royal faced Pete Lapaque and Faulkner faced Jon Lapaque in two singles matches of quite some length which, when added to the interval time, allowed the remaining six wrestlers to arrive. If indeed this is Jon Lapaque's only singles match, it was one of necessity rather than promotorial choice.

Thanks Graham. I'm pleased to see you back. I was getting worried.

Thank you. I've shared so many anecdotes over the years that I've not really got that much more to say. I'm still promoting every second Tuesday of the month at The Morley Green Club in Wilmslow but, of course, it's jazz, not wrestling. The last wrestling show I did was back in 1987 (and my last bout promoted was Pete Evans versus Mickey Gold).

Royals versus Colbeck and Penzekoff?
