Wrestling overseas today, Tibor Szakacs took part in a tournament to crown a "World Champion" in Milan, Italy, with the eventual winner being Gil Voiney.
On our TV screens, on this day in 1973:-
Jackie Pallo (W) v Paul Mitchell
Borg Twins vs Adrian Street/Bobby Barnes (Hells Angels) (D)
Not sure Bernard but vaguely recall it being said Jack Pye moved to London for a short time. Don't know if it was true or even if I've dreamt it. But always willing to be helpful. 😇
I didn't see that Mitchell v Pallo match and it would be great if it could turn up on youtube.
Odd prioritising of bouts here in my opinion. Streiger in the preliminary? Lightweight championship about the heavyweight?

Some tired old routines here.
A contender for the poster with HIGHEST COMBINED AGES OF THE WRESTLERS.
I don't think that's a televised bill in Shoreditch, just a bit of hype. 4 bouts and a non-tv venue ...
Thanks Hack. I've always seen him billed from Doncaster or Blackpool.

The Shoreditch poster doesn't mention it was a television broadcast, but the handbill does:
Jack Pye from Kingsbury?
