Did they ever oppose each other in a tag match maybe Rocco and Jones v Finlay and Murphy would have been an interesting encounter, if not how many times did the above bout take place

Probably a daft question, but what is the best bout witnessed at any of the iconic venues? one of mine would be Albert Wall v Andy Robbins at the Ice stadium in Nottingham

Using the desert island discs format could anybody pick their favourite 8 bouts and if so which one would they keep. Anodd question but it suits an oddbod like myself. What would their book be and a wrestling luxury. my bout would be the first time I saw Kendo my book would be his and the luxury would be the signed poster from the tour in 1992 ke

A simple question were cage matches and chain matches considered a good idea. Only saw one chain match it was between Danny Collins and the Mongolian Mauler and was not fussed about seeing another. The nearest I got to a cage was you tube footage of Kendo and Bob against Marty Jones and Danny Collins, it did not look very appealing.

On Sunday 29th January, it will be 50 years since I first saw Kendo in the ring. It was at the Ice Stadium in Nottingham, in a wrestling match and a judo match, little did I know then where it would lead, overnights a tour in 1992, drama memorable moments, even chatting to him at Blackpool last year. Also on the bill was an 8 man tag tournament. McManus and Logan Bert Royal and Vic Faulkner Les Kellett and Masambula Jackie Pallo and Leon Arras, plus a title bout between Albert Wall and Andy Robbins. To some this may not mean a great deal but to me it is something i will always treasure. Maybe someday , someone will explain why it means so much. When I go to the great ring in the sky will the blue eyes be in heaven and the heels in hell or the other way round. Anyway thanks to all who have made this possible.

Curious to know who the leading names made their tv debuts against. For example not sure if Mark Rocco made his against Dave Barrie. Sincere thanks to anyone who has responded to my posts. Wishing you all a peaceful Christmas and a healthy and prosperous New Year. Hopefully somewhere down the line we shall meet.

I have his name on a poster billed as an amazing 15 year old. He was teamed up with Skull Murphy against Kendo and Bob. Does anybody know what became of this amazing youngster.

When Rollerball Rocco, had what was to be his last match against Fit Finlay, who else was on the bill? The same question could be applied to several others, for example when haystacks had his last bout who else was on the bill

Who would be considered to be the best wrestler to become a referee and then go on to be an MC? I can remember seeing on old DVD Ernest Baldwin, as a referee and seeing him as an MC at the Ice Stadium in Nottingham, but don't know if he was a wrestler.
