With regard to "today's" approach, many a time have I seen a wrestler throw his opponent to the floor and then head out of the ring and ascend the "top turnbuckle", or whatever it's called on this side of The Atlantic, prior to a dive on to his grounded opponent - who then shifts his position in order to be able to accept the move! Surely it's for the flyer to adjust his flight.

Since posting the above, I've read in a wrestling page on Facebook that it was Steve Veidor under the bonnet.

Indeed it was Prince Kumali who was involved in the promotion of digitsu. I don't think we've ever been able to establish who was under the bonnet!

Lou Marco may have retired from refereeing in 1966, but he did MC at Ryde Town Hall (on my native Isle of Wight) at least once, some time after that.

Still a regular MC in person.

Later known as Robby Barron.

Main event with 2 local lads. That seems to be the real "attraction".

I take your point, but as someone who has a very great interest in circus,it is very rare that a flying trapeze artiste/star has to undertake any other duties.

RIP Dave. He was on my first live wrestling bill back in the simme rof 1963,opposing The Beast (Farmer Ed Bright under another name) for Paul Lincoln at Ryde Town Hall, IW. He became one of my favourites.

Correct! I had the PLEASURE ofmeeting Cyril Lagey when Nuts And Bolts (as the Nitwits became) appeared at a venue at which I was working. Off-stage he was a shuffling,elderly Carribean gentleman.And I use the word "gentleman" correctly. But I swear helost a good 20 years the moment he stepped on stage.

I'm unable to answer your question,but I saw both Peter Cortez and Iggy Borg in solo action.

For the sake of accuracy, Edward Woodwood... was known as "Ted"!

With Jack Cunningham?

As you may realise, the Isle of Wight is my homeland. I have no recollection whatsoever of Paul Lincoln appearing as Doctor Death anywhere on the Island after the amalgamation with Joint. Thus, no unmasking of which I'm aware after that.

I came close to one such match. At the time when Jackie Pallo was promoting at Ryde (IW) Town Hall, although I was going through a phase of minimal interest, JJ Pallo was advertised as top of bill against one Tarantula, so I decided to go along to see what Junior was like. Needless to say, Tarantula was the heel in the match, although I felt he was fairly lightweight in the role. However, at one point the ref got fed up with his dirty deeds and removed his t-shirt, ready to take on the evil one. Thus a bout was set ip for 2 or 3 weeks later. And I do mean "set up"! I didn't go!!

I'm sure he did. Then again, just about every wrestler had a chin.

Mr Yearsley.

I saw MrX (Ed Wensor) taheon the masked team of The White Phantoms at Ventnor Winter Gardens (IW) twice. The duo won the first time, but lost the re-match. I believe that the bout was doing the rounds atthe time.

I believe that both Bob and Dave served as White Angels at some stage, but although I've never heard Ray's name mentioned as one such, it wouldn't surprise me if he had worn the bonnet, given his closeness to Al Hayes.

Are you including the week I did in circus there, back in 1991??
