Someone shared this with me, and now I am sharing this with all of you my dear friends! I suppose EVERYONE recognizes this HISTORICAL TROPHY which in the past was held by so many great champions of various weight classes such as Jack Taylor of Accrington, Ray Glendenning of Bolton, and the tough and rough Yorkshiremen Farmer Johnny Allen and Dave Armstrong!

Dear Friends, hello. Does anyone have a good quality image of this belt? And does anyone know what championship title this belt represented? Thanks, R

hello everyone. saw this online, any ideas who that could be? thanks, R

Hello everyone saw this online, cannot figure out what promotion it actually was. Whose champ he was in the late 1950s? Doesn't look like it was JP's. Help appreciated. Thanks. R

During the Mount Evans Era of course. My guess - Tibor Szakacs?

Hello Dear Wrestling Friends! What happened to the belts? No more posts about the visual, physical, signs and the true symbols of wrestlers glory THE CHAMPION WRESTLER BELTS...?

Wrastling, The ninth pleasure. And as of leaping, so of wrastling too, Which with the rest may well be thought a toy: Yet some do so delight in kind to do, As that they take in wrastling such a joy, As for to give their foe a cleanly fall: They venture will both him and life and all. And some in wrastling wrest a leg a two, And some an arm, some back-bone now and than, And some to break a Wrastler's neck will do In wrastling oft the best or worst he can. And is it not a pretty kind of sport, That breeds delight in such despiteful sort? What should I need of wrastling more to write? Who loves the sport, much good do them withal, For I myself would rather stand upright Then put my life in venture for a fall. And he who sets therein his greatest joy, In time shall find it but a foolish toy.

Dear Friends, guess who wrote these precious texts...enjoy, this one truly is a FANTASTIC read! Paragraph #1. Cornish were the masters of SUBMISSIONS. NOTE: Wonder if Cornish Wrestling Association are aware of that long forgotten or better say LOST page of their own history. Paragraph #2. Greco-Roman style was invented by the Vikings. NOTE: Wonder what French think of it, especially those from the South of France (Midi). Paragraph #3. Lancashire wrestling was a style of coal-miners and steelworkers who at the same time were sailors who travelled the world because Lancashire is a seaport. NOTE: Wonder if Mancunians, Salfordians and Blackburnians are enjoying their lives by the great water, I mean the ocean, or at least a sea. My guess is that that the author confused the above historical "Lancashire wrestling" cities with Liverpool, and as a matter of fact Liverpool is a seaport, BUT Liverpool is Merseyside (which is NOT Lancashire), and has nothing to do with Lancashire wrestling. Paragraph #4. Ancient Greeks and their deadliest and most vicious SUBMISSIONS. NOTE: Wonder if Greeks know about that long forgotten or even lost page of their Olympic ORTHOPALE wrestling history.. Paragraph #5. Deepest analyses of the styles and a deepest thought there is. NOTE: No Comments. Paragraph #6. Rules, rules and rules again. NOTE: Originally I wanted it to be another 'No Comments' but, changed my mind. I wonder what Henry Irslinger and Sir Atholl Oakeley would say if they were privileged to read ANY of this. Thanks.

Dear The Main Mask, could you please check in your collection if you have a good quality image of this photo. It often was used on Wryton bills/posters from the late 1970s. Thanks.

Never made a secret Vic is my fav pro wrestler. Why? Matthew 11:15 King James Version (KJV) He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.

Dear Friends, enjoy these 3 wrestling videos. Thanks, R and a FAIR BACK FALL (in this case a fair back roll). Just like in Old Lancashire "rolling falls" do count. As well as pinning and flying falls.
