Years before wrestlers had cars it must have been mind numbing getting trains every day and coping with various delays on the network.Even when arriving in the station there was still the headache of getting to the venue.When wrestlers became 'mobile' motorway networks were very much in their infancy so there were still long and arduous journeys just to make the venue.It probably wouldn't be so bad if there were a few in the cars but if alone it must have felt like a days work just arriving.Jackie Pallo may have been one of the most 'travelled' wrestlers of all as the guy went almost everywhere.Your comments please.

I remember hearing from Mick McManus in an interview, that standing on a rain soaked platform in Crewe at 11 30pm waiting to catch the train home was indeed tough. And then on to the next venue, the life of a wrestler!
