We all know that KENDO Wrestled COUNT BARTELLI many times-
We also know that on occasion KENDO teamed with THE OUTLAW-
But was there ever at least ONE Match between NAGASAKI and THE
ZEBRA KID??
There was around a two year Window from when KENDO begins and
when GEORGE BOLLAS was forced to Retire from the Ring due to Ill
Health in 1967-During this Window they were BOTH 'on the scene'!
Does RON or Anyone know if there was a Bout?
MAIN MASK
Great Comment Hack. Actually I'm no great Scrabble man. But I do get last minute invites for Quiz teams. Nobody else avail' I spoze? Got a footy one in Feb. But I enjoyed a hearty laugh at your comments and presentation of my usual "March As A Mad Hare-ness". Or is that arse about face? Not to worry. Greetings all. Ol' Lex.
Hey the Lexicon Kid is back. It's good to hear from you again Chris. Everyone will be pleased to hear you hadn't come to a nasty end with your own Scrabble set.
Anyway, as it's you (and only because it's you) I'll share with our glorious readers (you are both awake on New Years Eve I hope?) the message you sent us earlier today.
(Chris did agree to us sharing this because we thought you'd enjoy it). Prepare yourself for the ramblings of a desperate man.
Hey you Riots what is this .... a technical KO? Here I am well before Midnite on New Years Eve 2018 & I cant get into the Forum as it is not recognising my usual email, unchanged since I last contributed and the same one for some time.
Foul Ref. The Riot Squad tag team should be receiving a public warning for this or the tantrums will begin. Oooo I could crush a pickled egg, let alone take you both on - on my own - Grrrrrrr.
I was gonna reply to some posts right now ..... (spit in the bucket, growl, stomp, chuck the towel at the front row, go down feigning a sack of crap as if gouged or summat etc etc) ... but cannot I'm afraid. I'm therefore asking for a re-match to stand any chance of The Lexicon Kid becoming the comeback kid & keeping my hard earned belt. Yours:-Chris Newman - The Kid himself.
I can only offer Bartelli v The Zebra Kid. This before The Count took on Kendo in the masked bout of all bouts. True The Zebra was coming to the end of his time as Kendo was on the up. Likewise my good old (bad old) fave, Doctor Death was a returning masked man from 'A Land Down Under' and already merged with Joint Promotions. DD fought McManus, but AGAIN no showdown with Naggers. Right then. Off now to buy The Kendo book. No you are not dreaming. It is I Chris Newman (aka The Lexicon Kid) returning from a world tour of our back yard. They'll be fireworks later at midnight Dec 31st 2018 going into - 2019 to mark this. You'll see 'em ... just you wait & watch (chuckle).
I haven't found any to date, but while searching I spotted a couple of Kendo vs Curtis Iaukea bouts.
I may be wrong but I will stick my neck out.
I will say that Kendo never fought at Belle Vue until after he unmasked Bartelli.
Maybe that opened the door for him as in April 1966 he was on with John Allen.
Would love to know Main Mask but as yet I think maybe not. The main window of course was 1965 and I am not convinced that in that year Kendo went so far and wide. It can't have been easy for him. Also I am unsure if Zebra Kid was exclusively in Britain all that year. He certainly fought Wall , Davies and Portz and Robinson , but all had been at it since 1957 and Portz earlier.
Using an even bigger window , we still don't know if Kendo faced Gordienko here in the UK.
Zebra Kid did not seem to do much with Wryton. Best yes , but I don't see him with Wryton so much.
Much more Dale Martin and Morrell.
