The Father of Professional Wrestling

We have several related threads on the go at the present time, but one of the key aims is to establish who is the oldest living professional wrestler from our beloved Heritage years.

We are dealing with nonogenarians and, irritatingly, with very elusive characters.

We have seen the title pass from Joe D'Orazio, and on though our uncrowned king, Spencer Churchill, who has sadly passed away today, before his coronation. Let's hope the latest King Charles III fares better.

So what may seem like ancient history to many is in fact a game of chess on ice on wheels, on a turntable, just trying to keep up.

And therefore at the time of writing - but nothing remains stable - we appear to have as contenders for the title of Father of Professional Wrestling:

GORI ED MANGOTICH

BOBO MATU

SYED SAIF SHAH

Hack has mentioned a visitor, Mohammed Yakub. But in the absence of any strong support movement for him, such a fleeting visitor cannot be considered for such a prestigious crown. He's no Bonnie Prince Charlie, after all....another claimant to the title of King Charles III.

Can anyone out there let us know about the well-being of Gori Ed and Bobo, before bKendo chimes in with another RIP?
