My memory is straining for War Eagle & Two Rivers. Sounds like yours is for the Kelletts.
I certainly believe what you and Graham are remembering, but I just think, for the sake of precision, we should see the bills that exclude the suggestions above for wrestlers who have never tagged.
Otherwise ... well, you can imagine.
I have another of these exclusion threads lined up, so as well to set the criteria.
Not only have Billy Two Rivers and Prince Kumali taken part in tag matches, they opposed each other and the poster is in your poster collection. It was a Relwyskow and Green show with Two Rivers being partnered by Ricki Starr and Kumali by Pat Curry.
Dave Barrie tagged on several occasions with Mick Mc.Michael as The Yorkshire Terriers replacing globetrotting Steve Clements. Somewhere on this site I have seen them billed together against fellow Yorkshiremen Peter Preston and Alan Dennison. In the early seventies I attended a TV taping at the Wryton Stadium, Bolton, which saw Barrie and Kellett teaming against Street and Barnes. On the same taping, in fact in the preceding bout, Marty Jones made his TV debut gaining the victory over the considerably lighter Bobby Ryan.
As I have mentioned recently, Barry Douglas was part of the six man TV tag promoted by Crabtree in which he teamed with Dave Duran and Bernie Wright against Andy Robin, Alex Munro and Ian Mc.Gregor. And, many years before that, was involved in a Relwyskow and Green TV tag which featured Whipper Watson Jnr and Red Pollard tagging with British partners. I've been racking my brains since posting as to who the fourth combatant was and I think it may have been a very young Colin Joynson. I follow avidly the "On this day" segment where Adrian displays his beautiful old wrestling posters and noted one for Relwyskow and Green where Douglas and Cox joined forces against Lincolnshire Poachers Bill and Ron Clarke.
Likewise, through following this segment, I recall a Dale-Martin promotion in which Terry Rudge and Colin Joynson joined forces against heavier opponents Pat Roach and Romany Riley.
Dale-Martin seemed to pair Dalibar Singh with the much lighter Rajendra Singh quite a few times; famously on TV where they faced Johnny Czeslaw and Ivan Penzekoff. Recent poster displays on this site (both Adrian's I think) show them in tag with The Royal Brothers and with the diabolical pairing of Mel Stuart and Tug Holton.
On a side note to Graham's comments, Alex Munro was the name of the Scottish "offshoot" of the Dewhurst butcher chain. Whether they were trying to imply that he would fillet his opponents is lost in the mists of time.....
I have seen Andy Robin tagging three times; once live and twice on television. The live bout was at The Ice Rink, Nottingham, on a Morrell and Beresford show in which Andy teamed with Bill Ross against Yorkshiremen Mal Kirk and Alan Dennison. Ross was also Andy's tag partner on a TV show in which they faced Bobby Graham and Johnny South. His other TV appearance in tag which I recall was much later when Crabtree was running the show and he promoted a six man. Andy faced Barry Douglas in a singles match then was joined by Alex Munro (not the Welsh entertainer, father of Janet Munro, who performed most afternoons at the outdoors Happy Valley Theatre in Llandudno) and Ian Mc.Gregor to face Barry, Dave Duran (Harry Palin's lad who wrestled for me as Steve Kennedy) and Bernie Wright.
Fontayne I can find tagging a few times with Steve Haggetty. Would love to find a poster or handbill for December 15, 1967 in Carlisle. In Ray's files it lists Billy Robinson tagging with Les Kellett!
Hi all,i swwm to remember Catweale& Zoltan Boscik tagging together calling themselves THE BOSCATZ. Think it was for Wrytons. Sorry not to be able to give anyone more information.
I recall Martin Conroy linking Zoltan Boscik with Moe Hunter for several tags and they went out as The Bosscats. This was when Top Cat (or Boss Cat) was a weekly cartoon show. I saw Catweazle and Zoltan Boscik face each other one night at The King's Hall, Belle Vue, but never as a tag team.
I saw Catweazle tag twice. One occasion was a Wryton show promoted by Martin Conroy at The Gaiety Theatre, Rhyl, where The Catweazles faced The Undertakers. Poor Ray Steele became "a Catweazle" for the night and, although Brian Abbotts appeared, his partner was obviously not Vince Apollo (who had a very distinctive build) but I've no idea who he was. Both were dastardly leaving Emile Poilve no choice but to disqualify them. Just for the record, on the rest of the card Jack Robinson beat Dave Shade, Pete Roberts fought John Lees to a double knockout and Bill Bennette beat John Casanova.
The other time I saw Catweazle tag was at The Kings Hall, Belle Vue, when Max Crabtree was running the show. He teamed Catweazle with Kevin Conneely against The Skinheads (Terry O'Neil and Roy Paul). I also recall someone (probably Adrian) displaying a poster from a past Relwyskow and Green show which saw Catweazle join forces with Peter Kaye against The Lapaques.
Hi Powerlock,

Yes, Powerlock, you and I both have hunches but I guess we'd better be certain through bills we can see.
Looks like a squeaky clean evening in Coventry, Ron.
We can eliminate Sean Regan
Actually this has stimulated some great details and obscure pairings - I just love the Boscatz!
And of course the resourcefulness of so many of you in coming up with these details is mind-blowing.
So to bring the thread up to date, we seem to have the following list with no tag action yet identified:
GEORGES GORDIENKO
JOHN ENGLAND
BERT ASSIRATI
BILLY TWO RIVERS (but I feel sure he tagged with War Eagle)
and I'm going to suggest now also
PRINCE KUMALI
DAVE BARRIE
SÈAN REGAN
Terry Rudge tagged, but again, it was not often.
Another gnarled response to Anglo Barry Douglas's first tag partner was family member Enrique Edo Juan.
As I have mentioned recently, Barry Douglas was part of the six man TV tag promoted by Crabtree in which he teamed with Dave Duran and Bernie Wright against Andy Robin, Alex Munro and Ian Mc.Gregor.

How about Two Rivers
TERRY RUDGE
BARRY DOUGLAS

Did Dalibar Singh ever tag?

I'm not recalling an Andy Robin tag match, unless it was some sort of "Scotland v England" thing?
So I lured the gnarlies in with my easy opening set.
Gnarls now stumped with Set Two?
Told ya I was wrong ...
