Just checked and as far as I can see, Tibor and Peter escaped from Hungary to Austria in 1956. By the end of that year (1956), in December, they arrived in England. Tibor started wrestling a couple of months later, so February 1957 could very well be him having a few try outs.

Yes, Tibor was 1957 as far as I know, and April being the first result I see, but that could be incorrect. "Hungarian Refugee" would be a good clue, though! A shame no picture exists, the tall, skinny frame would give it away.

I think John Quinn took the original World Title belt with him, when he went to work for Orig. Max Crabtree created another belt, that they put on Wayne Bridges, but he jumped ship with that one, as well, eventually. Just trying to remember if Tony St. Clair took the British Heavyweight title with him as well.

Another one of those wrestlers who people "loved to hate", especially when he would "saw" his forearm, back and forth, across his opponents eyes on the mat (like a "sawing" motion, when you are sawing wood). How many of us (as youngsters) would shout out for the ref to stop him, but he just continued doing it! A late 60's to mid-70's bill topper, and a name that every wrestling fan knew and had seen. I seem to recall him being in a few hard-hitting clashes on the mid-week, late night TV wrestling as well. I do remember being confused, as a young lad, when I saw him walking down the aisle, to the ring, once, with his LP in his hand, and I was trying to work out how a tough, no-nonsense wrestler, could have another job as a singer. Surely when he wasn't wrestling, he was training hard in the gym? Oh to be young and naïve! As a final "tip of the hat" to a true professional, I'll never forget reading about, in print, and seeing on Youtube, William Regal, telling the story of how an ageing Goldbelt Maxine was his opponent when WCW came to watch him wrestle, to see if he was right for them, in the early 90's, and he said Maxine basically let Regal (still "Steve" at the time), throw him around the ring, to show off all his offence moves, and make him look good. I'm sure Brian woke up with a few aches and pains the next day, but was basically "doing the right thing" for a young lad and helping him get the job that transformed his life. RIP Brian "Goldbelt" Maxine.

Here's Sam, in his own words (link below), which includes many of the pictures below. He mentions that when he wrestled for Jack Atherton, Jack always had him use the name "Bill Dunne", so any bills/posters that appear with that name, we will know it is Sam. https://wrestlingfurnace.site/biographies/ingleburgh/ingleburgh.htm

Hi Ruslan, thanks for the reply and information. I only asked the question, because Shikat did double cross someone once (Danno O'Mahoney, maybe?) and upset all the promoters plans. I think I read that he was promised more money in his next match and so he co-operated and dropped the title back to whoever the promoter wanted. I am sure I read that in some writings that US Wrestling Historian, Steve Yohe, did?, I would have to check.

Wonder who Doctor Death was, that night!

Hi Adrian, in one interview, Dave Larsen said there were three White Angels, just so they could make sure they covered all the dates they had booked, in various parts of the country. I think it was Dave, Bob and Judo Al. There were probably more than that!

Hi Ruslan, I assume that some of the men on the list above, would be in the business of double-crossing Londos, if the money was right, hence his refusal to meet them?

It could be Jack Land, there is a similarity with the blonde hair https://wrestlingfurnace.site/biographies/ingleburgh/betts96.jpg I don't see it being Kilmartin, who is supposed to be in this crowd https://wrestlingfurnace.site/biographies/ingleburgh/betts102.jpg

I don't think it is Kilmartin, Ron, as I have seen a picture of Kilmartin (in a crowd with other wrestlers) and while it wasn't a good picture, they were all dark haired. Let me check that again.

Facially, he reminds me of Max or Brian Crabtree, especially Brian?

Not seen that before, so can't really be of help, but are you always trying to access the site from the same device?, i.e. the same laptop or iPad or something?

Interestingf stuff, as always, Ron. Here is a link to a picture of the crowd watching Wrestling at the pub, from February, 1967. https://www.imago-images.com/st/0060219860

Replying to myself here, yes it was Dave who ended up in Opera and married an opera singer. https://archive.seattletimes.com/archive/?date=20040116&slug=kell16

RIP Dave Larsen. Was it Dave who married an opera singer?

The black trunks and lighter coloured leggings would suggest John Wade (I have seen a picture of him in exactly the same gear, but no mask).

I would assume that "Matto Grosso", the South American Monster, would be Big John Wade, the Halifax lad who would have worked for the Crabtree's, but with the South American name, could this be Jim Green, from Blackpool?, I only say this, because in the A-Z, for Jim Green, it says "...He was always billed as a 24 stone South American..."

Sad news, RIP George.

Ah of course, thanks for the information.
