Just reading through Ron's Margate bills reminded me how very very often McManus and Colbeck wrestled out a drawn main event. Ok, the occasional surprise, but essentially a lazy and repetitive bout over 4x10s.
So which other bouts were heavily over-repeated.
Catweazle v Dave Shade may take the title, but McManus v Colbeck must also score over a period exceeding 20 years. This was business, not sport. Pat Patton and Ian St Jon were also in some regular "rivalries". The Margate bills also show signs of Clive Myers wrestling his instructor, John Hall, seemingly nightly through 1971.
Logan v Kellett managed somehow to retain some gloss, even though seen far too many times in some venues.
Relating to Ron's Margate again, Maxine v Street must have happened scores of times, but only in 1971 and 1972.
Bruno v Marino is there.
Did Nicol face anyone other than Baron in the south?
Clayton Thomson v Tug Holton was a strange but recurrent pairing.
Taking this to the next step of analysis, matchmaker McManus seemed never to give Pallo the luxury of a repeated opponent, he made him, quite literally, fight for his supper every night. I believe this is a new finding.
Which other significant recurrent bouts can Members think of?
Just viewed three Ivan Penzecoff/Johnny Kwango matches on You Tube and it reminded me what an impressive wrestler Penzecoff was
