You're right Bernard. They were very different times. But it doesn't stop me thinking that in a time when all the Joint Promotion members did so much to legitimatise wrestling and make it look like a respectable sport they gave such little value to the titles. I looked at programmes and posters to support or not Anglo Italian's comments and found no references to Bert's title. They could have made so much more of champions and their championship bouts. Maybe they were just making so much money they thought it unimportant.
