ANGLO's Favourite is here- The WILD MAN OF BORNEO Who Fights The Sinister MR. X!!!
In The Tag The MASKED WHITE PHANTOMS Confront The FIGHTING REBELS!!
MAIN MASK
Who were the Fighting Rebels?
The Magyars were just like The Artful Dodgers.
They'd be clean against a pair of villains like the Roughnecks; or the villains when opposing blue eyes like the Sepia Set. These four named teams wrestled each other countless times in the early seventies and had the fast tagging routines off to a tee.
P Szakacs was never ever seen to smile; and when Zollie did smile he looked rather evil.
Zollie was brilliant in tag, fast as lighting with quick tagging in and out, always looking over his shoulder for double-teaming. The Dodgers were another great pairing where the whole surpassed the sum of the two parts.
Now you two naughty boys putting words into my mouth. Torontos a favourite!!!! Or Cassidy who I never saw????
Alan Garfield for sure, my clear fave. Then: The Wild Man, Starr, Joe Murphy, Nagasaki, Wall, Breaks, Cortez, War Eagle, The Outlaw, Clive Myers, Lee Sharron, Jon Guil Don, Hells Angels, Buster Martin, Masambula, Bruno, The Saints, Skarlo, Ted Heath, Butts Giraud, Mucky Mal Kirk, Kincaid, Judo Al Marquette.
But the list would be different if I compiled it tomorrow.
On paper this looks to be a really good bill. I saw The Magyars three times at Belle Vue. The first time was actually my first visit to the legendary King's Hall back in 1971 when Peter Szakacs teamed up with Kalmon Gaston to face Mick Mc.Manus and Steve Logan. A couple of years later I saw two appearances by Magyars Zoltan Boscik and Andras Swajcsic; as blue eyes against Hells Angels Street and Barnes and as the villains against the pairing of Steve Best and Jon Cortez (or, at least, villainy from Boscik. Swajcsic was noticeably less keen to get involved in his partner's villainy). For those who saw Boscik and Szakacs together perhaps you can tell me, did Szakacs indulge in a rare spot of villainy or did Boscik show respect for Szakacs' style and wrestle within the rules?
