JIM BREAKS began his Wrestling Career in 1958!!
By 1963 he had 'Relieved' MELVYN RISS of The BRITISH LIGHTWEIGHT Title!
Going Forward he Proved to be One of The Top Professional Wrestlers in The World!-
10 Times BRITISH LIGHTWEIGHT Champion and 14 Times BRITISH WELTERWEIGHT
Title Holder-JIM was Arguably Our Best Ever Champion!!
BREAKS also Held The EUROPEAN LIGHTWEIGHT Title on Several Occasions!!
But as with All Wrestlers Age Catches-Up-and JIM was No Exception!
In MARCH 1991 at COLSTON HALL in BRISTOL he Laced-Up his Boots for One Final
Time and-Fittingly-went in to do Battle with JOHNNY SAINT-his Arch-Nemesis and

Any idea when Breaks and Saint first met in the ring
Must have repeated the same routine many times over the previous three decades
Many Thanx RON!-
My Mate-Who did a bit of Promoting at COLSTON HALL in BRISTOL-and Who
Attended This Show-was Almost Certain it was The Last In-Ring Appearance of
JIM BREAKS as a Wrestler!

Breaks and Saint did the same bout 3 days earlier at Halifax , so it may be they did a few other venues too.
Seems odd to finish at Bristol and not in the North , but I can't find anything later.
Did he have work after he retired?
Good Bill Overall on This COLSTON HALL Show!!
With 4 Solid Contests!!
