19 May 1946
Birth of Jean Ferre
Read our tribute
Just read the Morrell gush from Bradford. Three byes for Colbeck and Preston. When was the last time you saw a night with 8 tag matches that would be needed for 3 byes to the final?
And sort of incompetent promoter would organise a tournament that allowed three byes to the final?
As Norman asked, does anyone remember it?
I doubt it.
Today would have been the birthday of Pat Roach

Wrestling overseas on this day, in history, Jim Hussey beat Arthur Ghevaert, at the Palais de Sport, Paris, France, on this day in 1947.
On our TV screens, on this in 1971: -
Mick McMichael (W) v Steve Best
A team just recently mentioned, Alan Colbeck & Peter Preston:
With regard to the Closton Hall show, what's the betting that Messrs Wells, Elrington and Kirkwood travelled up from the Portsmouth area together?
Main Mask's posters show the Dale Martin pool of wrestlers visibly dwindling: I remember living through that period and watching on sadly.
With Kellett, Pallo, Masambula, Wall, Borgs, Nagasaki etc all gone, they struggled for top of the bill names when Big Daddy wasn't available. They tried to plug the gap with cobbled together tag teams, but questionable how these would work without the teamwork of established teams like The Royals, The Artful Dodgers and The Hells Angels.
The Mad Axeman is popping up a lot these days. Am i right in saying he never appeared on tv? Surprising for a Dale Martin regular. But then neither did The Yellow Streak.
On The 19TH MAY at BRISTOL's COLSTON HALL-LEE BRONSON Teams-Up
