Any dates anyone???
There is a match on YouTube from Reslo, 1989, Jamaica George vs The Executioner. Does anyone know the identity of The Executioner?
Hi all, i believe The Embassey stadium Birmingham bills had to have least half filled with our Asian friends . If they did not win there was potential riots Because of this the promoters cloosed shop.
Hope all are well Ian Pringle.
Amazing! Top marks to the Joyce brothers, then! Considering none of Fortuna, Kumali or Masambula had managed to win so far that evening, without anyone getting glassed.
Maybe the promoter missed a trick if there were so many of that ethnic background taking it so seriously - not just in East Ham but other places too, I imagine. Maybe the promoter needed to ensure those punters saw their favourites gaining victory.
Hi Anglo. East Ham had a large number of black and Asian residents at the time, it was an Asian man who threw the bottle and I think he was unhappy at seeing a couple of black wrestlers being roughly treated by the white Joyce brothers.
That's a humdinger in Hull, Main Mask!
Those old-timer promoters were still fixated with Injuns after growing up with silent cowboy films. Nudging Witchdocors and Samurais down the card!!!
But it's given me an idea ...
Wow! Handy for the final bout. Great memory, Tom!
Any chance it was a set-up? I mean, the yob sat through over two hours of wrestling awaiting his moment patiently ...? Lincoln's Keystone Cops?
I have a notebook that has the results of the June 7 1969 East Ham bill.
Tibor drew with Doctor Death, Pallo v Masambula was a no contest, Reagan beat Cameron, Ray Hunter beat Kumali, Peter Szakacs beat Leon Fortuna and the tag match between the Joyce Brothers and Kwango Caulder I remember well, the bout was abandoned when a spectator threw a bottle into the ring the police then came into the building.
Next it's over to EASTBOURNE for a Crack at the Huge 24 Stone MASKED
ZEBRA KID and another Failure to Secure Victory!!
