On This Day 24th August

TV Wrestling in Hastings! Unfortunately, a pipe dream, dear Main Mask.

Big Daddy and John Elijah did the rounds, over twenty bouts, fine-tuning their show for the tv bout.

It's a good bill but I am very concerned at Peter Szakacs with his wobbly hip being coerced back into trunks from his refereeing role.

To The Day!!- WEDNESDAY 24TH AUGUST in 1977 at The PIER PAVILION in

HASTINGS- We See DADDY in with JOHN 'The BEAR' ELIJAH!-This Could be The

T.V. Bout where CRABTREE Actually WRESTLES??- I Have That Match On DVD!

And It's a Great Match-Up!!

Following on from recent days, I repost my 1971 programme from last year, but now with the question:

Is it just me? Next week's bill always looks better than this week's!

To rub it in, I recall we were on holiday the following week (blooming family) and I couldn't go.

24 August 1987

Mitzi Mueller's last match took place at the Royal Albert Hall.

Ron has found a picture to the illusive William Little. Well done Ron.

Bad Boy Bobby so early, there's a surprise.

Working overseas, on this day, 24th Kendo Nagsaki won against Lenny Hurst in Regina, Saskatchewan Canada, on this day in 1972.
