I watched it here last Tuesday. No mention of his UK “excursion” other than being banned from TV. Next one up is Chris Adams, which should be somewhat more interesting.

Wasn’t the infamous “Disco Match” with Kendo and Clive Myers held at Stringfellows?

Oy Vey…..

I suppose Stringfellows would fall under “night club”? Myself and Mrs. Mad Mac attended a small show locally a few years ago which was held in a unit of a local shopping mall where the promotion was based!

I thought we had established Dave Finlay Senior as having been born in 1936?

Barry Douglas can, regrettably, now be removed from the list.

Certainly agree with Hamilton Town Hall as a regular venue, although I attended a show which was very much a “Joint” one at Motherwell Town Hall in June 1969 with Adrian, Steve Logan and Johnny Eagles on the bill among others - something sticks in my mind that Hamilton had suffered fire damage around that time.

There was one tag match on TV which was supposed to be a “handicap” match with Sammy Lee v Peter LaPaque and Tommy Lorne, but this was around the time that Lee had gone back to Japan so it became a “regular” tag match with Ron Marino and Kamikaze - that Kamikaze wasn’t Mick McMichael unless he was in one of his times of “going up and down through the weights” without looking any different…..

Nearest one I can think of anywhere is Stu Hart’s 12. In UK terms, Pat/Pete Curry had five.

Maybe stretching a point, but what about Romany Riley?

On a non-wrestling note, the 1964 Morecambe Floral Hall bill notes an upcoming appeareance from Reverend Black and the Rocking Vicars, which would have included an 18 year old Ian Fraser Kilmister. You may know him better as Lemmy.

He was plotting his Fourth Reich, and this time it’s No More Mr. Nice Guy…..

Jim Breaks is still in there, Sir.

You bring up a good point. I can find nothing to suggest that he isn't, but I did find an interview from some years back: https://archive.seattletimes.com/archive/?date=20040116&slug=kell16 Based on that, he'd be 81/82 now.

If I could suggest a "Probables" category on the basis that we would surely hear something if there was bad news: Roy St. Clair (incidentally, he's also on the 60s list), Brian Crabtree, Peter Kaye and Barry Douglas.

Sad news indeed. Canada's Slam Wrestling has a little obituary at https://slamwrestling.net/index.php/2024/02/05/bully-boy-ian-muir-passes-away-at-81/

Happy Birthday, Sir!

Jackie Pallo, and didn't Andy Robin promote?

Interesting to note the geographical content of the bill: notwithstanding Kobayashi, you've got three Yorkshire, three Manchester plus a local man. Keeping those travel costs down.....

This brings up an interesting question: was Fit born in Canada? It would seem so from the info above.
