1972 - A live event in Waterloo, Iowa at the McElroy Auditorium saw the following results:-In a Handicap match, Rufus R. Jones beat Black Angus & Percival A. Friend.-Les Thornton drew The Destroyer.
Fighting the most boring wrestler that I ever saw.
Round after round of knuckles boring into the opponents temples until he became unconscious. Then the farce of him being the only one to bring the opponent round.
@adrianpollard.shangri-la No; but probably was in comparison to UFO whoever that might have been. I only saw Regan as Zebra Kid twice; once for Crabtree at Belle Vue and once for Dixon at Liverpool Stadium. Crabtree staged a squash match with Regan up against Lucky Gordon whilst Dixon put him in a good contest up against Steve Veidor. Incidentally, Veidor made an interesting comment to me that night. He had not been on the independent circuit for long and contrasted the quietude of a Crabtree dressing-room at the time with everyone knowing their place and the liveliness of a Dixon dressing-room with all the banter between the workers. He had particular fondness for Johnny Yearsley and the two of them had more or less jumped ship together.
Crabtree seemed to enjoy promoting "battle of the mask" squash matches (usually involving Nagasaki) with top billing and an unmasking several minutes into the match.
