Main Mask: I know you take the weight classes very seriously:
It could be argued that the above is a contradiction in terms. But it could also be spot on. In boxing, if a lighter fighter challenges for the heavyweight bely, it's a heavyweight contest.
Likewise, when Steve Logan faced Rocky Wall it was a heavyweight contest.
But if the Welterweight billing above is correct, the priniciple would eliminate the existence of Catchweight bouts.
It's mildly interesting, since it's Dale Martin's biggest night of the year and each word has been carefully thought out, so not a slip.
6 times 10/6!
Must have been to line the little Scot's pockets on his "only appearance south" in 1969. Would be good to find a billing to disprove that - and we could sue DMs 54 years on!
Same old faces a year later at the same venue:
We voted this the LAZIEST poster ever many years ago.
I prefer the same venue ten years earlier, with an early outing for Rocky and Alfie in spy-mode:
I wonder if Mick opened proceedings?
Well, that's quite a bill, even by Royal Albert Hall standards. But the cost does equate to six nights at the wrestling for me.
