I did not find much in 1964, I did wonder if these saints were Johnny saint and Partner. Of course a new venue too. An early girls match. Earlier in 1964 , I could say , Who the Hell were these Guys.

All my bills are either Dales or Lincoln.

Well just when I thought I had expanded Wryton Territory beyond the 70 miles into the midlands from Manchester , through Wales with Caernarfon then Aberystwyth , we now have Wryton in Cornwall. Redruth , a few shows, Newquay , it's on that list , but how often. It just shows that I knew nothing , always learning. Could I speculate that certain wrestlers had roles with Wryton , well we know that for sure. But in the case of Cornwall , I wonder if Francis Gregory had a hand in it all. Wikipedia have Francis Gregory wrong with 1904 birth. It's 1910. More St Wenn than Redruth if the census can be trusted. Although he played Rugby for Redruth.

I have been looking quite a lot at venue capacity and am coming to the conclusion that if you only got a gate of 300 then things were really tight. Not impossible but for sure , a headache. At the extreme end of things I do remember at Pontins I often saw something like Clean v Dirty and Cowboy against Indian then they would tag after the interval. Thus 4 wrestlers and 3 bouts. MC and Ref were Bluecoats. Two holiday camps in one day as well. I also went to a lot of Jack Cassidy shows and would estimate 300 maybe a little more at them. A donation to charity and yet the wrestlers speak well of the wage they got from Jack.

I was wondering if Riley and Atherton. However I have missed a few shows so this one is not on it's own. They did five fortnightly shows at the end of 1964 , but did not continue into 65. It was a long way , not a regular outpost and probably Wryton.

Hi Anglo , I had missed this one as I have a bit of a collection for Naggers up to his unmasking of Bartelli. It's a mystery because through 64 , Paul Lincoln was still promoting , but there was a lull before autumn. In 1965 it was not Joint but maybe Jack Taylor or some syndicate of promoters such as Cyril Knowles etc. This bill sits there on it's own really. Nothing either side of it that says Joint. What a strange mix , nobody that Kendo would have trained with that I can see. They change the spelling , but so early , would anyone want to imitate him. I feel sure if it had of been Wryton they would have had him with Hussey , or a meet up with safe Marino. I think maybe Hack is our man here.

At the AGM for the football club in July 63 , it was reported that the club was £700 in debt and that proceeds from one charity evening plus the wrestling would wipe out £300 of that debt. It's not clear if there was a rent or just takings from hospitality. Looks like Lincoln got it cheap for sure. Decision was also made to have no pro footballers on the books. It looks to me like the club made about £20-25 per show. If only we knew what the gate size was. A minimum of 300 people at about 7 shillings average would bring in roughly £100. My guess is that this would be enough to pay the wrestlers. Maybe the gate was a little higher. Only me guessing though.

Marvellous analytical powers you have Anglo. Yes Legeat did a show at Redruth in July , but also January. He also did July for Lincoln in Watford and as late as December at Leamington Spa and also Hackney Empire.. He also did Greenford (V Doctor Death) and the Metropolitan in January 1963 The data suggests that he came over 3 times in 63 to do January , July and December for Paul Lincoln. Singh , so many of them that a Christian name can soon be changed. Don't know this one , but those guys I mentioned did Madras ten years earlier with quite a few Singhs. Lincoln was supreme in finding guests to support his regulars. It kept it so fresh. My fascination is this Football Club. Lincoln , I suspect got the rental for a song , what other connection did he have. The facility has nothing special to say the least. And again , I say , was Cornwall the extreme point of Lincoln's vision.? Why did Dr Death only do one show ?

A few tasty ones came out of Barnsley.

I have read that when Kerry Von Erich wrestled with a false foot from 1986 , that it was a match with Colonel DeBeers in 1988 when the boot came off in an AWA match , thus exposing the cover up. It looks like he never wrestled in the UK.

Lampeter

What a great story from 1978 Kid , that he happened to be in Aberystwyth at the time of this Nook and Crannie Post , and being a long standing member of Heritage , enjoyed a trip to the Library to make a great addition to the Forum. Many thanks. Another one for the Archive.

Nice bills those , 1978 . Good contribution.

Mixed tag started in 1966 with Jack Taylor promoting. Here is a singles match from 1967

Such additions in the responses , many thanks and as Anglo says , gaps filled. In October 1961 just following Billy Two Rivers. 8th Rotherham 9th West Brom , 10th Wolverhampton 11th Aberystwyth 12th Crewe 13th Liverpool. 14th Hanley Forgot to say , I have never been to Aber. A bit more than I would want for a day out and back , did Barmouth once but not a fast drive out that way. Wryton did not go far north of Manchester or east into Yorkshire so south to the midlands and southwest to Aberystwyth must have been the extreme of the territory.

Can't shed light on Roger , a mistake maybe. here the Geuret brothers Andre and Georges https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2SJrDvuWYVw

And they did meet in the early days.

The bill that James speaks of in 1958. Another bill that year against Assirati. I will have a look about to see what else I can spot the earliest I can find Johnny Morgan wrestling

Only Dale Martins bills Anglo (1958-1965) but quite a few matches on youtube. Jacky Corn vs. Georges Gueret

You paint a great scenario here Anglo , and I must mention that at times in the USA they also pushed the Jap angle. Crazy stuff , Jap Judo expert from Hawaii etc. I checked some facts on Wrestlingdata and they have 1926-1981 correct and they also had him wrestling in Hawaii as early as 1943 as Bob Bataan. He did France and Spain and in particular Germany , even doing Hamburg as late as 1970. Billy Robinson beat him in Hamburg in 1962. He did a tag match with Ricky Starr (1958 USA)and one against Zebra Kid (1959 USA). Looks to have done it all. Mike Hallinan who donated the Cardiff programme makes an interesting point. The original owner of the programme, has marked a Hunter win on it and made no mention of a switch to Sammy Cohen for opponent. Still time with digital newspapers for more matches to come to light yet.
