Huge man. I saw him wrestle at Peterborough. He beat Hangman Shane Stevens.

Max put shows on at Whitby Spa Theatre (now Whitby Pavilion) in 1982. I believe Pallo booked the same venue in 1977, having read Steve Serene's mask story.

That would make sense as Mick McMichael was on that bill in a Daddy tag match against Mal Kirk and Blackjack Mulligan.

Who would have been the version circa 1982? I saw him against Dave Finlay.

The Reverend Ian Gallows was the sidekick of The Hangman, Shane Stevens' for a time.

Hey, if that's 1967, that is the day I was born.

Solid Heavywright villain. R.I.P. Ian.

Dynamite Kid.

Sad news. R.I.P. Jim.

I have just read Mac's book. He writes it the way he speaks. It is very entertaining and it gives an honest insight into the dedication required to be a long-term wrestler. For his hard work over the years, Mac deserves to sell lorry loads of copies, so please get in touch with Ignite Books. I'm still after my rematch!

It seems strange that it has now been off the air longer than it was on it!

Lenny Gloster, former Southern Area Welterweight boxing champion, had a few wrestling matches in 1992. He's a mate of mine.

'The Leather Boys', 1964. In a scene filmed in the Ace Cafe, there is a poster advertising a November 1963 show featuring Pedro Bengochea vs Steve Veidor, Danny Lynch vs Spencer Churchill, Cliff Beaumont vs Peter Szakacs, and Ajit Singh vs Ray Fury. The venue is unseen.

Yes, a proper innovator and entertainer. A technically sound wrestler, Adrian will be missed.

Yes, Brian put a lot of hard work in to keep British wrestling going, putting on some great shows during and way after the ITV era. My only win was on one of his Butlin's shows. He will be missed for sure. R.I.P.

I spoke to Jan Curtis on the way to the Bridges' reunion in 2015. He wrestled at lightweight and appeared on T.V. four times, including the Albert Hall bout versus Johnny Saint.

It should have just been billed as a catchweight challenge bout.

I saw The Bushwhackers at Wembley Arena. They beat Power and Glory (Hercules and Paul Roma). R.I.P. Butch.

Giant Haystacks vs the Wilson Brothers is on YouTube.

I was there at Eldon Square, Newcastle upon Tyne, when Bob had his last bout. He got disqualified in the first round. His opponent was Keith Prosser from Middlesbrough. He was in the bar afterwards and explained that he was really retired. On the same bill, Johnny Saint beat Peter Ross, two to one. After his score, Pete said, "I think he let me".
