2ND Newsletter of 2024-and Our Poster is for One of My Old Stomping Grounds-CIVIC HALL-
WOLVERHAMPTON in 1969!!
Topping The Bill is a HEAVYWEIGHT Clash between JAPANESE 'Sensation' SHOZO KOBAYASHI
Taking-On One of Our Best Heavyweights-ALBERT 'ROCKY' WALL-Billed here as 'ABE'!
Some Years Ago-I had a Conversation with JOHNNY KINCAID at One of The KENT Reunions-
and he told Me of What he Remembered of SHOZO!-It seems he was a 'Credible' Wrestler from
Overseas!
Also Featured on This Show is One of My Favourite Heavyweights-WILD ANGUS-Saw him Live
Loads of Time-who is in with 'MIGHTY' JOHN COX!!
Not Sure how GINSBERG versus COLBECK would have Worked though??
At This Time a Lot of The Bills at This Venue Largely Comprised of Heavier Wrestlers!!
MAIN MASK
Ginsberg/Colbeck seems a mis match
Interesting to note the geographical content of the bill: notwithstanding Kobayashi, you've got three Yorkshire, three Manchester plus a local man. Keeping those travel costs down.....
I did like these 1960s Wryton posters, the central wrestlers illustration making them strikingly different from my usual Morrell-Beresford ones.
Unfortunately only saw Shozo on tv, and the ITV wrestling site lists just three matches - Les Herberts, John Lees and Tibor Szakacs, so hardly challenging opposition for a wrestler who did seem very powerful.
I think Ginsberg and Colbeck could have been fine, more worried about Roberts and Rowlands. Putting them on first would make the rest of the bill looke exciting.
