Seconds to me were men in a corner in charge of a bucket. I never gave a thoiught to them. I don't recall seeing seconds advertised as in this Chunky Hayes advert below., even tells uswhere they were from. Does anyone recall any seconds at their hall, or know any that were known by name.
A friend of mine volunteered as a second at one of Gerry Hoggarth's 1960's shows at Kirkland, Garstang, but received an accidental back elbow for his efforts.
The seconds on this bill were probably better known than the wrestlers!
Arthur was the last of the old time seconds.
Rumble uses female seconds for British Lightweight title matches.
Seconds were designed to give a legit feel to the matches and have disappeared completely in the twenty first century
I was a second. Just drifted into it. I was a hall regular, and someone took me to one side and said would you like to second....Took it like a shot. I seconded for Dale Martin, then drifted into the indies.
