In Memories of the Old Days
That is, bouts where one or more of the participants just walked away from the ring and went back to the dressing room. Did they ever make for a satisfying conclusion? And who were the worst offenders? I notice that Kendo seems to have chalked up a lot of these towards the end of his1986-1993 run.

In Memories of the Old Days
This montage has just been posted on YouTube today and dates from exactly 54 years ago. At the outset there's a brief clip of one of that Saturday's bouts:
John Lister's site says that the matches that day were Mike Eagers vs. Alan Colbeck, Sayed Saif Shah vs. Lee Sharron and Steve Clements vs. Jose Rodriguez. The keen-eyed amongst you might be able to discern which of those pairings are shown here! However, what I think is really interesting is that further into the compilation, at around 4:14, there's a caption titled "Professional Wrestling Result". Clearly that afternoon's coverage had been live and had ended before the last bout's conclusion!
