Many matches were repeated all over for example Kendo v Haystacks, Jones versus Rocco, does anybody know where some of these took place for the first time.
Naggers v Shirley was at Winsford and televised 10th January 1973. I am pretty sure they could never have met previously as this was roughly when Shirley got back in Joint. Kendo was always Joint until 1974 and this was his first match back from Stampede during which time Shirley came back as The Guardsman.
Thus far I have Dec 15th 1952 at Bedford for McManus v Pallo. This could yet be beaten but so far is number one.
Quite often wrestlers were well into their career before meeting an opponent in what subsequently became an often repeated match.For example both Rocco and Jones fought Dave Barrie and John Casanova in the early years.Casanova beat Jones on TV but soon disappeared without trace
