It is agreed that the first televised "American style tag match" took place at The Festival Inn, Trowell in the autumn of 1963 which had everyone talking about it and rubbing their hands in anticipation of the next one to be seen on TV. However looking at the plethora of wrestling bills that are published here and on Facebook etc. it would appear that this format was doing the halls for some years before this. Why did it take television so long to show such an exciting event?
