Interesting that it is advertised as an exhibition.
Get in yer car John. He can always hide in the kitchen. (Like we did when the rent man came round).
A bit of a mystery man. Libnan says he wrestled in Singapore and the States. Kirk Beatty would be the go to man, however I haven’t heard from him since he reported his computer had croaked. I’m only a ten minute car ride away and have recently felt I should pop over, but I don’t want to intrude, if he has decided not to communicate.
A Barrett enters the vienna heumarkt tournament on July 17th in 1953. He was billed as Mike Barrett from australia. You can find a lot of others well known UK-Wrestler at the same tournament. Chic Purvey, Salvo, Knowles, Dennis Mitchell as O.K. I couldnt upload the paper clipping.
Thanks Ron
Looks to probably be a genuine Australia visitor. Mid 1952 to mid 1954.
Full blown heavy and sometimes billed from Tasmania.
They had him beating Alan Garfield below at Dundee.
