One such wrestler who always stuck in my mind was Ragnor the viking. At about six feet three and approximately twenty stones was indeed an impressive man with a great gimmick.Great shame Joint never kept hold of him.
My old friend Andreas Svajick (with many other names) did have a spell with Joint promotions. It was funny, that although we at the gym were always very critical (in a negative sense) of JP, I can vividly remember when Andreas came in one evening and showed us his contract along with a photo of him signing it, we all, including Bob Bannister congratulated him!
@williamr Bob Sherry and Bill Tunney were two of the very best as far as I'm concerned. Bob Sherry I did see wrestling for Joint, at Preston William. Also saw him in Preston working for the independents. Blll Tunney I only saw working for the independents. Why did Joint not snap him up? Or maybe he just refused to go over.
