Louis Pergantes had been wrestling for over ten years when he wrestled in Britain from1936 until 1938, which may well have been the twilight of his career.....
Totally agree, incredible when you think about it. I read an interesting article about how some European and US wrestlers (before Castro took over), went to wrestle in Cuba, all expenses paid, flights, hotels, food and drink, incredible.
Hardly anyone other than a Pro Wrestler or cinema stars would have got to visit Europe,Australia and the States in this era
