1977
Apart from the tag match an underwhelming Royal Albert Hall bill. Maybe the most surprising thing of all is that Alan Serjeant's name is spelt the way he spells it!
A glimpse of exactly 50 years ago today of this years Heritage awards winner Eddie Rose. Anyone know who Geejay Promotions were.
Today in 1942 the birth of Ace Allcard.
Mr Big it was. Managed by Reg Trood. The bill is a shocker in so many ways. Such a fudged tag team in the main event. But what beggars belief is that Peter Wilson appears on the bill. Why on earth did they split them up?
Lazy promoting with every bout the best of three falls. Sensor v Shannon and the novices were crying out to be over quickly. I bet Logan scored a surprise ko in round two and did the minimum as senior on show.
Wasn't the Big Brute Ray Parkes, aka Mr Big.
Wrestling overseas on this day, big Pat Roach beat Kotetsu Yamamoto in Kawasaki, Japan, on this day in 1972.
On our TV screens, on this day in 1966:-
Syed Siaf Shah (Lahore, Pakistan) v Roy St. Clair (Redruth, Cornwall)
Mike Bennett (Bradford) v Peter Rann (Camden Town)
"The Big Brute" - on the poster he is 6ft 6 and 23 stone, and in the program he is 6ft 5 and 25 stones. His height and weight fluctuation is quite dramatic!
My guess is that this could be an early appearance by Bill Bromley?
The Big Brute on show!
£1-50 well spent?
Howes v Nelson , I should imagine would have been a rumble.
Is that discrimination "Free gifts for Ladies" only , or just good old fashioned chivalry.
Big Brute?
Who he??
Shocker at RAH .
NO NAMES!!!
