Wolfgang Saturski son of legendary Rudi Saturski died a few weeks ago on Juli 25th. The german born Wolfgang moves in young age in the states where he joind the armee. In the mid sixtees he comes back to europe and wrestled all over the continent also in the UK as Wolfgang Starck. Later he lives in nurnberg and managed a restaurant for a time. He was 81 year old. R.I.P.
Thanks Gernot.
This "wrestling in the blood" vein (!) is interesting. In UK it centres around Brixton, Bingley, Wigan and a few other places.
For the Saturski's to have created a 100+ year tradition of professional wrestling there must have been a "German Wigan" where they trained, and developed there traditions.
Can you tell us about it?
What a shame. Another we neglected, rather. He had the greatest ever dose of nepotism in winning wrestling's FA Cup and made four or five RAH appearances.
Wrestling is too professional to allow mere nepotism to run riot (Jackie Junior) so he must really have known how to work with a variety of heavyweight opponents, even as a callow youth.
I'd like to have known more.
Ruhe in Frieden.
RIP Wolfgang Saturski
RIP Wolfgang
