Will never understand why promoters used the word"tomorrow" on posters. As we all know tomorrow never comes

Hard to credit that another five years have gone by and it is now eighty years since VE Day

Would be interesting to know if this was a one off or if there were other events in Wombwell during the Second World War

Interesting that the posters claim he is a Sioux Indian from the Plains but the article states he was a Sannich Indian from Canada

Not to forget 26 May 1947 versus Al Lipton on the fledgling BBC

Brand is an absurd modern day term which equates Pro Wrestling promotions to buying a tin of baked beans.Which brand do you prefer?

His match versus Myers is on four different You Tube channels.Not bad for someone with just two TV appearance's.

I agree The distinctions between the North East and North West were important. Even the rivalry between Lancashire and Yorkshire with numerous "War of the Roses" matches over the years

Thanks for the intense photos. A wrestler to be taken more seriously than the Les on the other thread

In his own way he had as much to do with the decline of British Wrestling as the dreaded Crabtree. Tired predictable routines which led many potential fans to turn off

In the days before some promotions went down the children's entertainment road

Very rarely were there any broadcasts from the Royal Albert Hall

Fans of posters will be very pleased to know that on arrival at Glasgow Central railway station recently directly opposite the entrance is a poster for Valor Promotions event next month.Valor promote events in Scotland and Scandinavia

Not as frugal as Paul Getty who took quests to the Queens Tennis Club in London and discovered it was a lower admission price after 17:00 and made them walk round the block for ten minutes to get the cheaper price!

Max Raeger has quite a decent match on You Tube

1965 was a big year for trophies.In January Mike Bennett won the TV trophy in a broadcast that achieved the largest viewing figures for a non cup final day broadcast

In the present day Kyle Fletcher and Mark Davis appeared in the UK before moving to AEW

There are probably one or two others overlooked also

All sorts of scams took place in the late eighties early nineties including blatantly false advertising

Wrestling is one of the few sports appearing in any of Shakespeare's plays. In Act 1 Scene 2 OF As You Like It Le Beau "I would have told you of good wrestling which you have lost sight of".Could be referring to Joint Promotions in the late seventies!
