I believe that when Ranolph Turpin died a charity tournament was put on for his widow and children. Does anyone have any details and who was on the bill ? Thanks

Return tag match for £200(£1939 in 2025).Turpins family would not get much from the takings if this was legit!
Probably as legit as Mitzi and Naughty Nancy putting up £10 a side. I remember two local boys who wrestled each other regularly allegedly having a £5 a side sidestakes. Mind you beer was less than 2/-.
