Quite a few years ago now I wrote a seven part Manchester Series.
Of late I have been able to find a few more pieces of history.
I have some new bills but alas , at the moment the galleries are out of action as far as adding to them goes.
Manchester fans will be aware that every year Kings Hall wrestling stopped for the circus and it was quite late starting up again. Picking up on opening night in 1955 I have the bill , and the promoter as always , since wartime was Dick and Jessie Rogers. I don't think Bartelli ever worked for Rogers , maybe just too busy with Wryton , or was it rivalry. Why would Wryton move into the Free Trade Hall that night and go head to head. Who had the best show.
Crucially Belle Vue slightly cleaper.
My grandad was a pro wrestler in the last 50s to 70s maybe and I really want to know more about him since he didn't leave anything from his day with us. Nan kinda through his belts out but Ive been looking for a while and I can't find anything about him I heard he had many names but all I know is angry ant cause he was a short tempered British but if anyone could find anything it'd be much appreciated
