Coupled with my Current Topic on BERT ROYAL-I don't suppose we can leave out his much Younger Brother!!
WHEN was VIC FAULKNER'S 1ST Professional Bout??-My Information Sources have him
starting about AUGUST 1960-When he was just 16 Years of age!
My earliest Photo of him is a VERY Fresh-Faced VIC from early 1961-and -to DATE- My
earliest Programme that I have for him is BANBURY WEDNESDAY 14TH FEBRUARY 1962-
St. Valentine's Day!- VIC FAULKNER vs. ADRIAN STREET-I may have an earlier one-I'm still ploughing thru tons of Programmes in the Vault!
Bet the Bout against ADRIAN was a Cracker-2 Rising Stars with Something to prove!!
-A Rivalry that was to endure for many Years!
Surely RON can find him in 1961 out of all his BILLS?
It seems Faulkner's Last Solo Bouts were in 1983-can't find him yet in 1984-so a 23 Year
Career then!
I always remember him saying in a post Wrestling Days Interview-'I have to be very Careful
getting up in the Mornings!'-A kind of Haunting Memory for me!
I'm Spoiling FRANK-A Companion Topic on his other 'Favourite' Wrestler!?!
Photo/Programme to follow!
MAIN MASK
I remember Vic’s style of wrestling well. Especially the great move off the bottom rope, and out of trouble. Bert would use the same impressive move, and come back into a full Boston Crab to the delight of the crowd. Great wrestling from the Bolton brothers.
