Back in the Late '40's/Early '50's-apart from the 3 Main LONDON Venues-ATHOLL OAKELEY
Put-On Shows at Other Arenas in The SOUTH-Including SOUTHAMPTON!
Here's a Snapshot of his Operation there from 1950!- Very much like PAUL LINCOLN a Decade
Later-OAKELEY was a Master at 'Creating' Ring Characters for his Shows-especially from
'Overseas'!!
Below we see The Mighty KING BONGAWONGA-Sounds like a CARRY ON Film Part in 'UP THE
JUNGLE!!- He Hails from GUINEA where he's The HEAVYWEIGHT Champ!
Is he REALLY a 'King'?-Probably Not!!
Is he REALLY from GUINEA?-Probably Not!!
Is he REALLY a Champion?-Probably Not!!
But HOW could the Incredulous Wrestling Public Check this out if they wanted to??-They couldn't!!
So another Piece of OAKELEY Theatre-EXACTLY the Same as LINCOLN in the Early '60's with
One of ANGLO's Favourites-SUGAR RAY DO DO!
Below We start with the Programme Cover for This Show on FRIDAY 28TH APRIL....

I'm not persuaded that this 1954 Morrell man was the same as the fella with the other funny name that worked for Oakeley.
Not only that, I've just noticed he's already in the A-Z!
