A Ted Beresford bill with Norman Walsh and John Allan making an interesting and believable championship match. O'Donnell and Penzekoff in tag, with Ivan the subject of our latest tribute coming this weekend.
I like the idea of Haggetty and Street in tag here in 1967, but think their likely loss to the Cortez brothers would have been barely credible. Why was Garfield only a rugged sensation of English wrestling?
1978 and here in Newark. Ever have a sense of we've seen all this before?
Our lad earning a crust overseas today is Mal Kirk, who beat Frank Butcher (no, not the Eastenders character!) in Vancouver, Canada, on this day back in 1974.
On our TV screens, on this day back in 1961: -
Johnny Allen v Kurt Stein
Dean Stockton v Seamus Donlevy
Jackie Pallo v Johnny Foley
Love the way the two Londoners, Hayes and Garfield, are billed in a Commonwealth bout. Someone had forgotten Garfield was no longer a Sydneysider.
This could be the time when Garfield explained to Hayes about how to ham up a British accent for US audiences.
Another 'Double Main Event' to be Seen at The CENTRAL HALL in CHATHAM!
I Think PAT ROACH versus TERRY RUDGE would be a Good Match!-In My View
TERRY was Somewhat Under Rated as a Leading Heavyweight!
LOGAN Facing JOYNSON is Interesting too!
Also-for Some Reason-GOLDBELT MAXINE against COUNT BARTELLI was a
Bout Tried Out a Lot and was 'Doing The Rounds' at The Time!!
