My French is not very good although I think one could claim that matching The Hells Angels against the Entente Cordiale was something of a coup de grace. Or am I getting confused? Is this French for lawnmower?
It's another two-for -the-price-of-one today, with our lads overseas, as Tony Charles was in winning ways against a young Mark Rocco, in Karlsruhe, Germany, on this day in 1971.
Only British promoters seemed to have spelt the name Wiracogha (with a g). Elsewhere he was Wiracocha, who was the sun god of the Incas. He was here 1963-4 billed from Peru. Wrestled big names like Gordon Nelson and Bill Joyce, but seemed to go down frequently, including losses against lesser lights of the time like Roy St Clair and Bob Sweeney. Big pay day seems to have been losing to Billy Howes at the Royal Alberts Hall on 29th April, 1964. TV listings against Billy Howes, Seamus Donlevy
He returned in November , 1970, when he partnered Gita Gonzales at the Royal Albert Hall to succumb to McManus and Logan.

Had to post this Hell's Angels poster for @adrianpollard.shangri-la Although the matching handbill is a bit of a letdown
I found a photo of Pedro

I bet it was a smoke filled atmosphere in those days.
