Following The Infamous T.V. Bout in JANUARY 1967 between MICK MCMANUS and
PETER PRESTON in which MCMANUS had to get himself Disqualified as he Feared
PRESTON Planned to go against 'The Script' and Beat him-
It has been Mooted that PRESTON would be Ostracised from JOINTS for Disobeying
'Orders'?
YET here he is 11!! Months Later STILL Wrestling for NORMAN MORRELL....AND
Tagging with of All People-'IRON MAN' STEVE LOGAN-The Big Buddy and Official
Tag Partner of Non-Other than MICK MCMANUS!!
Now I Know that MORRELL Controlled LIME GROVE BATHS-his 'Enclave' in
LONDON-So Perhaps giving PRESTON More Work Up NORTH- is Understandable
But This is Hardly Constitutes a FULL JOINTS 'Ban' but rather a DALE MARTINS
Boycott!
But to 'Pair him Up' with STEVE LOGAN is Surely Adding Insult to Injury?
Why did STEVE Even AGREE to This?-To Tag with the ONLY Wrestler to Score a
T.V. Win over his Friend MICK??
Where was his 'Loyalty'?
Don't say he was a 'Professional'!#?-Surely this goes DEEPER than that?
Incidentally as We Know-MORRELL gave PRESTON More Work in 1967!
But for LOGAN to do This???
MAIN MASK
That's great stuff, Saxonwolf. So fast, too!
It's good to revisit these old themes from time to time. Today's surge, if anything, rather reduces the whole concept of the boycott.
In response to Hack, I certainly think the promoter wanted his non-Morrell bookings to go the full distance, probably with an eye to what they were costing him: Nagasaki, Logan and Robinson. The result is a looong show. The tag was, surprisingly, on third. Such a late finish that the results writer had to leave to get the last bus home and he didn't get to see Logan's driver!
Nagasaki submitting in a surfboard must have been some spectacle!
