Kid McCoy was announced by Kent Walton as weighing 11 stones.Right on the end of the lightweight limit.

Thanks James.Forgot about him.

Of course Ron.Very often a masked Doctor Death or Mad Axeman at Liverpool.

Hi Hack.I imagine they were short of numbers for that tournament that he was probably a very last minute inclusion.I also never seen him wrestle again.

Yes Ken Joyce and was still working on other Promoters show probably into his sixties.Did an incredible kip up and piledriver in one move.

Agreed James.He was a visionary and a grafter.

One of the most entertaining wrestlers ever.R.I.P.Jim.

Wrestling Enterprises(later All Star) had Argentina Sanchez working northern rings about late 70's Had good audience participation.''You shad ap,you sidown'' was his catchphrase.

Some excellent points here John.

Fair point Anglo.

Agreed Sax.It was only when All Star got a foothold in the 80's that wrestlers had a chance of t.v. The chance of higher wages and lesser dates would be major factor in working for the Independents.

Your'e right Peter.Bouts between Thomson and Royal would have been classics.Wish I would have seen one.

There is a book written of his life which I have read.The title is 'BRODY' and subtitled'The triumphs and tragedies of wrestlings rebel'.The book was co-written by his wife Barbara Goodish and Larry Matysik in 2007.Ecw press.It is still available on Amazon price £18.30. A really good read.Hope this helps a little.

Thanks for all your hard work riot squad.

The opening bout could be Kaye/McMichael but a good point Anglo.

Thanks Hack.

LOL.You're so right Hack.

R.I.P. Martin.Condolences to the family.

For me that Wolverhamton bill would be:- McManus vs Naylor Breaks vs Ryan Jeff Kaye vs McMichael St Clair vs Kirk Ray Thunder vs Harris

That's it.Thanks.
