Atholl Oakeley said Most British Wrestlers were too wise to try and enter the ring with Karl Pojello. He was a very good wrestler so during the 1930s in the United Kingdom did he lose many matches over there?

Maurice Tillet had around 1000 matches losing just five according to David Willoughby in his book the Super Athletes. Who were some of the few names who defeated the Angel?

One of the most highly advertised Professional Wrestler Imports of the 1930s by Sir Atholl Oakeley. Was Jack Sherry. But In later years did Atholl Oakeley ever discover that Jack sherry was not the undefeated Wrestler who never lost a fall?

I remember Len Ring from the 1980s doing regular TV commercials here in New Zealand on the safety of looking after your spine when It came to lifting things. I had no Idea he used to be a professional wrestler. Any Information on his opponents would be much appreciated

One of the strongest Olympic Weightlifters in the world during the 1920s and 30s was also a top professional Wrestler. Is there any records of the opponents he met during his career as a pro wrestler?

During the 1930s in the UK did Jack Sherry ever wrestle any of the Robinson wrestlers? There were several of them during that time. They were quite formidable in the UK wrestling scene during the 1930s.

Arguably one of the most scientific professional wrestlers of the 1930s was Karl Pojello. But was Billy Riley or Billy Joyce just as capable as Karl Pojello?

I just thought i would add my opinion on a book i have just finished titled Physical Chess on the life of Billy Robinson. A wonderful life story of one of the finest Wrestlers to come out of Wigan. Those great old timers of Catch as catch can wrestling will live on. I do have one question for all Wrestling Heritage members and that is Who do you think would win in a Wrestling Match between Lou Thesz and Billy Joyce? Since both were such top wrestlers it would be an Interesting Debate.

George Clark during the 1930s wrestled both Jack Sherry and Lou Thesz. Did George ever have any opinions on which of these two World Heavyweight Champions he thought was the better wrestler?

Are there any records available on the 1930s Elimination tournaments Promoted by Atholl Oakeley and Kathleen Look. Apparently Jack sherry used to wrestle according to the draw and usually went on to make the final every year. I would love to know what year during the 1930s These World Title Elimination Tournaments started and which wrestlers participated in these Tournaments.

Joe is now the oldest surviving Wrestler. Is there any memories that he has shared with Wrestling Heritage Members on his view of the best Wrestlers he has seen over the Decades?
