One of the Beauties of Professional Wrestling is that it Never Ceases to Amaze!!
As Many Know-I have 1000's of Original Hard Copy Wrestling Programmes-and Sorting Thru
a Pile Recently-I came across a 1969 EDINBURGH ELDORADO STADIUM Show as Below:-
On first glance COMBAT PROMOTIONS just seem to be Staging a Programme of Regular Fayre!-
But Look Closer........ We see ANDY ROBIN in the Top Bout-No Surprise there! but What is This??
The Bottom Match is Promoted as a 'TRIAL CONTEST'!-WHAT#?!
I've NEVER seen this before on a Bill!
And I've Never heard of GEORGE HURST! WHO is he??
I think I've seen a PETE WEST Somewhere!
But What is the Nature of This Contest??-Is it some sort of 'Ordeal' Match??
Is it a 'Try-Out' Match?
Is it an 'Experimental' Match??
Whatever it is or isn't-There WAS-it appears-a Winner?!
Another Little 'Curio' here is the Spectacle of JIM BREAKS Opposing his BREAKAWAYS
Tag Partner-MIKE JACKSON!!
What do Our Erudite HERITAGE Members make of This 'TRIAL CONTEST'??
MAIN MASK
These matches certainly took place though I haven't seen them actually listed on the programme or on a Joint show,
