Did any of us ever see a wrestler only once (live or on TV) and were left so impressed that they thought they'd witnessed the next start of the future....only for them to disappear and never be seen again ?
I'll start by recalling a visiting South American in the early/mid 1980s called Enrique Marques wrestling for Brian Dixon at King's Lynn. Can't remember the opponent but he has smooth as silk in escapes and counters, effortless in his perfection of holds and throws and administrator of the finest swinging backbreaker since Frenchman Julien Morice. I never saw or heard of him again (apart from a Ringsport picture of him tangling with John Quinn), so anything known about him or did anyone see him, with the same opinions ?
Next.....
I think that the Enrique Marquess of the 1980s was a different wrestler as my recollections was of a younger man than 1958/1962 bouts would suggest. Could have been a case of Brian Dixon using an old name from the past ?
I remember Enrique Marquess on TV when he visited in 1965. He was also on TV in 1962, but I'm too young to remember that,😃
So, Enrique beat Mick McManus at the RAH 19/3/1958? (See wrestledata).
Jon Guil Don appearing on tv was breathtaking. In my mind, he then disappeared. But of course he was alive and kicking, just not visible to me. He had done his forty permitted bouts in UK and that was it.
I saw Maurice Julien, in his horn-rimmed glasses, bags of times. And I never ever saw his speciality move.
