In doing some research on the Itv wrestling site I came across a wrestling bill screened on 2/3/68 where none of the 4 televised bouts ended with a fall, submissions or a KO. Has anyone else been to the wrestling where all the bouts ended without a winning Fall, Submission or a KO.
The tag match between (The Royals and the Yorkshire Terriers) ended 0-0
Geoff Portz v John Cox ended 1-1
Alan Dennison v John Cox (The result was given to Dennison after RSF)
Chic Purvey v Ted Heath ended with both wrestlers being disqualified.
Hi Alanapaily. Back in the 1950's Newcastle had a series of evenings where there was a handicap knockout tournament and one other match, before the tournament final.
I once attended a bill at Peterborough Sports and Leisure where all four bouts were won by the villains. You can probably guess the promoter.
Dennison versus Cox would seem a mismatch anyway
I think whenever the tag match was over a 20-minute time limit, we knew it was going to be a draw.
When it was over 40 or 60 minutes, certainly not a draw.
Hello Bernard
This reminds me of a very long thread we had several years ago entitle WINNING WAYS where we listed out all the possible (and implausible!) ways we have seen bouts finish.
Sorry, I misread the query. This obviously was one bout ,not the whole bill. It was different though!
Hi DJ. I remember posting on here a while ago that I saw a bout with no actual knockout or winning fall.
Alf Rawlings v Rex Gable. Alf threw Gable all over the ring and in the end Les Kellett stopped the fight, saying that a body can only take so much punishment.
Somebody posted that this was a technical knockout, so that is why I said ,no actual knockout.
Whether this qualifies or not ,I'll leave that up to you.
I can make one related comment.
I remember reading through one of Ray's sets of results a few years ago and spotted one bill where three bouts ended as No Contests.
This rather told me that there was no co-ordination between the various bouts on the bill, with each pair planning their own result.
To casual fans, and they were the majority, this sort of imbalance just added fuel to the fire of disbelief.
