One of The Most 'Contraversial' Tag Teams in The 1970's were the Pairing of JOHNNY
KINCAID and DAVE 'BUTCHER/SOUL MAN' BOND-Known Together as The
CARIBBEAN SUNSHINE BOYS!!-Amusingly Ironic really as Neither of These Two were
Born there!-and also-at this point-Neither had even seen The Caribbean!!
The 1970's was arguably a Decade when Racial 'Tensions' in This Country were Rising-
NOT Helped by T.V. Shows like 'Love Thy Neighbour'!!
So when This Combo started what was Perceived by Crowds at Shows-to be 'Taking Excessive
Liberties' with Opponents-Their Bouts Quickly Developed into 'Powder Keg' Situations...
Literally!!-During what I Believe was their Only T.V. Outing-a Ringside Near Riot ensued!
Cohorts of Skinheads and National Front Mini-Gangs started following Their Billings-with the
Sole Purpose of Causing Trouble and 'Disruption'!!
So for a Myriad Number of Reasons-Politics and Public Safety Forefront among them-after only
a Handful of Bouts-The CARIBBEAN SUNSHINE BOYS were Hastily 'Disbanded' and 'Consigned'
as a 'Failed Experiment'-and Allowed to 'Disappear' from Our Rings!
Below Some of The Posters from Their Very 'Short-Lived Run'-Starting at CHELMSFORD
against PETE ROBERTS and COLIN JOYNSON!!
