ON THIS DAY- 25TH MAY!!

It's been worth the 15 years of Wrestling Heritage to read about Hans Streiger. I would have loved to have seen him. Can't imagine why I missed him on Whit Saturday 52 years ago?

Here, he even managed to get Tibor disqualified!!!

Was this his final tv appearance? And maybe as a consequence?

Wrestling overseas today, Geoff Portz defeated Franz Orlik, in Krefeld Germany, on this day in 1957.

On our TV screens, on this day in 1970:-

Tibor Szakacs v Hans Streiger (DDQ)

Tony St Clair v Barry Douglas (W)

25th May 2011

Today is the anniversary of the death of Dropkick Johnny Peters. To mark the occasion we have added a new tribute.

Dropkick Johnny Peters

New variation on Alf Rawlings at the Eldorado.

St Mungo's got it right.

Very good, Frostini. The tanner must have been cigar money.

And Ron, how on earth did you manage to find seven oldies!

Note in Digbeth it was already the "original" Dr Death - meaning he was already being copied.

That's odd. Tibor v Robinson was the World Cup Final Day match a couple of months later. A lot of rejigging at that time and the TV Times listings are not faithful to the screenings.

Tasty tag match below. Whit Monday used to be such an excting day.

And one for the unknowns list in Steve Adams?

Wrestling overseas, on this day in history, Reg Williams beat Rudi Schumacher, in Krefeld, Germany, on this day in 1958.

On our TV screens, on this day in 1966: -

Tibor Szakacs (Hungary) v Bill Robinson (Manchester)

Alf Cadman (Salford) v Vic Stewart (Salford)
