A naughty poster that prominently bills two wrestlers that will not be appearing; and shows photos of a completely different set of old timers who had nothing to do with the bill.

It had all got too difficult for the promoters by 1978 ... and the result is condescending.

Anglo Italian, you say it was a naughty poster but forgot to mention the fiction of a "Saturday Night Spectacular", a "Tag Team Eliminator" of nothing and four matches that make Dale Martin shows look exciting.

Oh Gawd ---- they didn't even get The Royals.

Yes, Hack, the sloppiness is unending. Buuuut I am not disparaging the wrestlers in any way. With Rocco, Royal, Joynson, Logan, Martin Jones - the ingredients for a great bill were all there. But someone didn't read the cookery book for the recipe. The promoter, without exaggerating, had lost the plot. No vision as to the perception of the wrestlers by the punters. And probably thought he knew best!
