MAIN MASK
Your use of "uninspiring" is wholly subjective, Hack. What you call "uninspiring" bouts, and therefore uninspiring wrestlers:
were the backbone of the credibility of the sport and reflected exactly what were saw on tv and what Kent Walton assured us was good for us. Nowadays they'd be called celebrities and be on all sorts of reality tv.
Certainly if you contrast the above bill, where all undoubtedly turned up as publicised, and all four were well known tv names, with non-affiliated bills with misleadingly-named and copycat wrestlers, a third of whom would be no-shows - leaving others to double-up - I can see how the reliability of it all might concern you, Hack. But we were buying into the sixties phenomenon that was professional wrestling as centred around small-screen shows and Dale Martin Promotions of the type in Bath.
I for one was always delighted to see any Jon Cortez bout as you never knew what you were going to get. And he was the most acrobatic of them all, to boot.
Happy Palm Sunday.
