A broken down car resulted in Harold Angus and Bert Mansfield being the only two wrestlers to arrive at the Old Drill Hall in Boston. Harold and Bert took to the ring and wrestled a draw over ten rounds. Very convenient, not that we are suspicious.
Wrestling overseas today, Steve Wright teamed with the famous Andre the Giant, defeating Japanese legend, Antonio Inoki and Kantaro Hoshino, in Tokyo, Japan, on this day in 1977.
On our TV screens, on this day in 1961:-
Len Wilding (1) v Jack Cunningham (1)
Mick McManus (2) v Marcel Gobi (1)
Frankie Townsend (2) v Big Bill Verna (1)
Johnny Czeslaw (2) v Dean Stockton (Dene Stockton) (1)
British Heavy Middleweight champion Eric Taylor held on to his title at Belle Vue, Manchester, when both he and challenger Clayton Thomson were simultaneously counted out.
Nope Main Mask I didn't go to this. This was 1975 and I'd still be having nightmares about it. In 1975 I was in Blackpool enjoying better than this. I moved to Wolverhampton from Birmingham in 1980. By 1980 wrestling was long out of my life and I never went to the Civic Hall for wrestling.
Gawd, this is awful. Steve Taylor and Alan Wood (it wasn't Woods Max) would endeavour to save the day. Probably the only time I would be pleased to see Mick McMichael on the bill. Jim Breaks and Bobby Ryan selling their souls.
Another Hanley one, from a bit later:
