Apologies to bump this old thread, but did we ever get confirmation on whether this was the same Francis Sullivan? In the footage he's the taller guy who looks somewhat similar to the pictures on the heritage site. His tag partner, Martino, is the man with a bald spot.I've seen a couple of 1967 & 1968 All Star International cards with him billed on them, so the 1966 retirement may not be true. The only problem is the weight division. The announcer seems to pushing hard that these are lighter weight guys, and Sullivan was always a heavy/light heavy so...I'm not sure. Any helping IDing this man would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
I thought Francis Sullivan retired in 1966, and was also a heavyweight. The wrestler the announcers refer to as "Sullivan" doesn't look like one. Unless they got the identities mixed up.

Dave Sutherland was a fan of Francis Sullivan, he would know.
