Gernot's poster is an example of another nail in the wrestling coffin. A generic poster, no highlighted names drawing attention to this allegedly super tag team. To it's credit it did list the bouts so things could get worse.
As for Al's Royal Albert Hall show. Oh, how things had changed from the 1960s. Where was the drama? The anticipation? The mystery of who might win.
A good few years have gone by but, blimey, Harry Fields night out with Carlton Smith must have been a bit different from being on with Streiger. Shame John Cox wasn't on, then there would have been an ambulance on hand.
