Ron, thank you so much, I see that man looks like Peter William a German promoter, and he gives Roach the belt symbolic of the European Championship, title which Pat held in fact. But it is 100% old Norman Walsh Belt. Where in England that happened I wonder?
Dear Friends, for years Pat was the ultimate symbol of British Wrestler for me. I didn't know he ever had a physical belt during the years of his championship reign, until I found this utube snapshot photo online. I don't know which match it was. But I sure recognize the belt. They used old Norman Walsh Gold Belt for him. Please help me to find this video. Thanks, R
I need putting right on this as it is not my era.
My understanding is that Orig Williams was the promoter.......Am I right.
Ron, thanks, who promoted the European Hwt Title, which organization was it? Why did they need the German promoter in the ring?
This looks like it.
Cardiff, 30/3/90
CARDIFF – 30/3/90. Filmed for Welsh TV…Dave Finlay (W) v Kid McCoy
Cage: Danny Collins (W) v Richie Brooks
El Bandito (Orig Williams) (W) v Blondie Barratt
Colonel Brody (W) v Steve Regal
Giant Haystacks/Klaus Kauroff (W) v Boston Blackie/Jamaica George
European Heavyweight champion Pat Roach (W) v Ray Steele
Jimmy Ocean/Ricky Knight v Tony Stewart/Gary Welsh
If you look at the video background before the belt is presented it has a poster RESLO.
I think a few people on here might be able to add to where it took place.
If the belt on the video was real (there were few fake belts around), then yes I am sure it was Walsh's World Jr Hwt Title Belt.
