Interesting Combos in The Tag Match!?
MAIN MASK
Romany Riley is not a Man of Kent. He is a Kentish Man and that is therefore a hybrid Kent team. Kentish Walton would have got it right.
Who says that's a phoney Dr Death? Sounds like a renaissance original to me.
Charlie Fisher had been Champion of Kent previously.
Wasn't Francis Gregory champion of Cornwall? (as well as Western Area)
The Mad Axeman knew how to cause a riot, the tag would have been fun. I never saw Towney Rowney but heard he was a tearaway. Hope the car was well sprung with those three Pompey heavies travelling together!
I would pay to watch Bruno, Jenkins and Grey. But not 85p!
"Men of Kent" - That would draw them in! That is a dreadful bill.
Yes, Tom, that Champion of Kent makes me smile too. I can't think of any other county champions. Would it be worth moving to Oakham and claiming championship of Rutland? I vaguely remember a discussion of minimalist titles years back but we don't seem to have it now.
At the Palais in 1968.
Wayne Bridges Champion of Kent. I can't recall ever seeing a professional, county champion, wrestler before. Did he ever defend the title, if so, who against.
Southport and South Wales
Happy memories of that White Rock show, Main Mask, I was excited to see The Barons. I wonder where McManus was chauffeurless that night?
That's the bout I have often mentioned between Nagasaki and Roach. For the uninitiated ☺ I'll repeat.
The drop stage-side at the White Rock was fully ten feet. Imagine these two guys in the body slam position standing in the corner astride the middle rops. They were looking down nearly twenty feet. They got themselves into this position and just didn't know how to extricate themselves from it. They remained there, perilously, wriggling and wiggling, but only slightly, for what seemed an eternity. Maybe three minutes. But it was dangerous and anything could have happened. It was like a silent movie until eventually --- they were saved by the bell.
On the whole that evening - George E. Gillette stole the show. So accessible.
Over to The WHITE ROCK PAVILION in HASTINGS On This Day in 1973-
