We All know Promoters 'Experimented' with every aspect of Professional Wrestling!
Nothing-it seems- was TOO Weird and Wonderful for the Wrestling Public to 'Digest'!
Some Ideas Worked Well-Others not so Well-and a Few were Absolutely Ridiculous!
I was always Interested in 'Catchweight' Contests-Unusual Pairings etc.!
Here's a Couple of quite frankly very incredulous Bouts Featuring ALAN DENNISON!
He was a WELTERWEIGHT and although a really Strong Wrestler-he was on the Smaller Side
when it came to 'Stature'!
Now in the Lower Weights-Catchweight is Fine up to within 2 Stones but any more of a' Disparity'
just didn't seem a 'Credible Match' and in many Cases an Outright 'Mis-Match'!
So what's DENNISON-at no more than 12 Stone doing here up against MAL KIRK??
Surely he'd have no chance of 'Winning'-Especially against a Man as Tough and Super-Strong
as KIRK!?- What a Strange Match-Up indeed!-Wonder what the Crowd at INVERNESS made of it?
MAIN MASK
Dennisons height wasn't too apparent on tv but in the halls especially in catch weight bouts against a heavier opponent it was very noticeable, I saw him mainly in tag matches and thinking back he was generally the shortest in the ring even against lightweight opponents. I didn't mind him as a heel but just couldn't get away with him being a good guy, for me it didn't work.
