The first wrestling show at Wimbledon Palais was 25th January, 1951.
Does anyone know when the last show was?
I have seen Devereux programmes going to 12th December 1978, but don't know if these were still at the Palais or had moved elsewhere. And if so, where?
Thanks Ron
The first Bill ?
Thanks Big Al.
A local author is writing about Wimbledon and would like to hear from anyone who went to the wrestling.
We've emailed Big Al and Palais Fan with his contact details but if anyone else went to the wrestling in Wimbledon let us know and we'll pass on the contact details.
