I hope you're well. My name is Paul Hayes, and I am a writer based in Norwich.
I have been commissioned by Doctor Who Magazine to write a piece about Sonny Caldinez, who died last month, for an edition of the magazine due out in June.
Obviously as you will know, as well as being an actor Caldinez was also a wrestler for a time, and you have a small profile of him on your website, here:
https://www.wrestlingheritage.co.uk/wrestlersc.htm
I wondered please whether you might have any more information on his wrestling career, or might know of anybody who would be a good person for me to talk to about it?
My deadline for the piece is the 31st, so if there is anything you might know or anyone who might be able to put me in touch with this week, I'd be incredibly grateful! Even just knowing what the source of the information on your site is would be helpful?
Anyway, any assistance would be very gratefully appreciated!
With kind regards, and all good wishes,
Paul
I was a regular at the Dominion Southall when the knock out tournament was staged back in 1964. Sadly I remember very little about the participation of Sonny Calindez, mainly due to the passage of time. I am pretty certain Prince Kumali emerged as the victor but the tournament was notable for the absence of Syed Said Shah who was the most popular wrestler at the Dominion and I believe was never defeated at that venue.
