Being a Top Venue and a 6,000 Seater Arena All Our Top Wrestlers had many Matches at the
KINGS HALL- Along with quite a lot of Wrestlers from Overseas Appearing now and again too!
This Ensured that the QUALITY of Professional Wrestling at the Hall was always of a very High Standard
-especially from 1960 onwards!-SATURDAY Nite was the Main Attraction every Week!-but on occasions
Shows were put on on a FRIDAY-MONDAY and WEDNESDAY as well!-So-although rarely-you were
'Spoiled' with 3 Events over 4 Nites with just the SUNDAY with No Wrestling as the Arena was used for
Something else!!
To further Augment this Plethera of Pugilism- every so often the Top of the Bill would be a TITLE
CONTEST for one of the MOUNTEVANS Championship Belts!
So for this Special-I'm Sharing some of these Epic TITLE Confrontations which Thrilled the BELLE VUE
Faithful in the Early 1960's!-And we start with..... A Contest for the BRITISH HEAVY-MIDDLEWEIGHT
Title between the then Holder-ERIC TAYLOR and-a Future Champion-CLAYTON THOMSON!!
This was the Main Bout on SATURDAY's Show on 28TH OCTOBER 1961!- Result is shown!!
MAIN MASK
I spent 1980 in Germany!
Was the Viedor/Davies match duly televised?
Great poster, Main Mask. Good that such a fine collection is in the hands of someone who shares it so generously in this museum of ours.
Cooper and Sanders doing their refined thing Up North. Jon Cortez enriching any bill. The tag would have been a riot. But why did they just sling in a photo of Johnny Wilson for no apparent reason?
At last - a Belle Vue poster with the promoter named.
