It was described as the best contest for many a day. That was at Aberdeen's Music Hall when Mike Marino wrestled Mike DeMitre for the World Junior Heavyweight Championship. The match went the full 100 minutes without rounds, with one break of three minutes following sixty minutes of wrestling. Neither man was able to score a fall and DeMitre retained the title.
That seemed like a cracking bill. Is it true that Indio Gaujaro was a bit of a headcase. Were any members of this site at this bill and if so what were the results
Anglo Italian asked elsewhere about inccredible claims. Well, there's Vic Hessle The Boltonian Austrian who is as fast as the fastest train in Britain. No such claims for Alf Moores who is just dour.
As for Catweazle, that's an incredible claim, "Unpredictable." Few were more predictable than Catweazle.
Just noticed something on the 1974 Reading bill. If Sid was wrestling solo, who was the other Dennison? Ted Heath?

Wrestling overseas today, Pete Roberts defeated Yoshiaki Fujiwara, in Aomori, Japan, on this day in 1977.
On our TV screens, on this day in 1972:-
Steve Grey (0) v Robby Baron (1)
Mick McManus (W) v Ian Gilmour
Steve Veidor (2) v Reg Trood (0)
I would have liked to see Jack Pye v Bill Benny.
I don't know the result but I would bet on a double disqualification.
Whats the logic that determines whether Dixon uses the All Star name or the Wrestling Enterprises name?
40 Years have gone by.
Wasn't Maxine billed out of Croydon at one point?
Happy Birthday Steve Grey

Who for? Not Bobby Ryan for sure.
