Please see this article I have my doubts that Peter wrestled by his given name, and I certainly have never come across it on any British cards from the 1950s, however has anyone else ever seen the name? I remember a bill in Omagh in Northern Ireland from 1955 advertising a local wrestler returning from England called "Bozo Woods" and I wonder might this be the man - his birthplace isn't too far from Omagh.

Hi lads. I recently published the book I was working on (title in the title), turning it in at 411 pages and with interviews / insight from over 25 pro wrestling personalities, both from the Irish and British wrestling scenes including Fit Finlay, "Kung Fu" Eddie Hamill, Johnny Saint, Chic Cullen, and many more. Cheers for the help with Harry Joyce and Wild Angus info, I credited the site in the book in the acknowledgements. Just wanted to cap off the previous posts with this!

Hi. Wondering if anyone has much info on the wrestling career of Eric "Tug" Wilson from Belfast? I've chatted to Tug on phone a few times, but just trying to see if anyone has found any of the following; Tug wrestling in Great Britain (not Northern Ireland) BEFORE 1971 Tug wrestling AFTER 1978 (I think that's latest I found him) Any general info just I know he had the office job with Ian Burns in 1974 to 1975 I believe for Wryton Promotions. Any help in appreciated. Kindest regards Nick

Wondering if anyone has any cards for Frank "Wild Angus" Hoy later than 1981? Of course he had a television appearance on World of Sport in January 1982 but this was taped in November 1981. Did he "go out on top" with a final TV appearance (albeit a loss) or has anyone found him on independent cards in 1982, 1983, etc? Answers much appreciated.

Looking for more info on Harry Joyce who was an all-in wrestler & promoter of the 1930s & 1940s. First time I've found him is 1936, last time 1945. Anything is appreciated. Kindest regards, Nick

Hi. Interested if anyone can find or has found "Kung Fu" Eddie Hamill on any bills later than March 1989? I know he was in Ireland, touring with Orig Williams, in that month & year, and there's a match on YouTube that suggests he faced Johnny Saint in France in 1990 but unsure how exact that is. Might anyone have any bills with Kung Fu on them in late 89 or indeed 1990?
