I had not thought about that before bur perhaps Mick McManus retiring did have quite an effect on how much loyalty some wrestlers had towards Joint Promotions. As quite a few wrestlers left in 1982, around the time that McManus retired, including Mark Rocco, Kung Fu, Johnny Saint, Jackie Robinson and Mike Jordan. I think that Wayne Bridges and Brian Maxine left in 1983 and Mal Sanders left in 1984. Maybe McManus retiring was the end of an era in more ways than one.
