Whitecloud who came to Britain in 1973 was Pedro Columbo, probably the wrestler who was on Bill's link. He tagged with Thundercloud.
There was an extensive run of Whitecloud matches again in 1978 and 1979 for independents. Whether this was the same wrestler I don't know, though the WrestlingData site does list Columbo working here as Whitecloud in 1980 and 1981, so it could be.
Apart from that there were other Whiteclouds on independent shows. In fact the earliest Whitecloud I found on the independents was in 1969, which pre-dates Columbo.
The Liverpool Echo announced that Wigan boxers and Wrestlers had formed the Wrestlers and Boxers Comrades Association to pursue the revival of wrestling and boxing in Wigan.
Yes, it's one of the many thread titles I haven't quite risked starting, out of respect for families and the past. Killer never really got close to being like his American namesake in the ring. But he made up for it outside.
Agreed, I heard a couple of stories (including one, straight from the horses mouth, so to speak), but you are right, out of respect for the family members who like to read these forums, we should keep a lid on it I guess.

But over a glass of Ward's, eh?

Caswell would be prominent in this context.
Many of them, I think.
Unfortunately, Pallo shows at that time and at Bexhill seldom resembled what actually happened.
I knew a lady who had a little tickle with Killer that night, and that was all that was ever discussed.
PS not sure how little.
That's a great Bexhill show Anglo Italian. Kowalski and Danny Lynch hidden away at the bottom seems a bit odd.
Working overseas on this day, Tony Charles ended up with a time limit draw with Josef Molnar, in Nurenberg, Germany, on this day in 1971.
