Jackie "Mr.TV" Pallo versus Al Miquet was a bout promoted around the Cheshire halls in the mid-seventies by friend at the time, Stuart "Big Boy" Miller. Stuart would also referee and I would M.C. Miquet wrestled as Kung Fu in the top of the bill bout and, earlier on the card, would appear as himself against Jackie Pallo Jnr.
I think it is. Just like my neighbour who remembered the TV advert featuring a beautiful young lady in full evening dress lazing on a setee and calling to her boyfriend, "I'd love a baby Sam."
Don't even joke about Torontos being a fave of mine. There is some nostalgia having seen him so many times, but it finishes there. I do still like to piece together bits of info about him.
Here he is at his epiphany, when he cunningly tricked DMs into thinking a full-blown heavyweight with skill was on the way. The mystery is why he wasn't fired at once...
Just look at the guys he headlined above here!
Just goes to show promoters were quite willing to buy a pig in a poke.
Dai Sullivan was a good, exciting wrestler often overlooked. . He would be capable of roughing up the Count.
