So, according to Pallo himself, his problems with Joint Promotions started with the retirement of the "old guard" and Jarvis Astaire entering the picture.
Jackie had no issue with Astaire, who had said that a requirement of buying Dale Martin was that Pallo and McManus were on the roster.
Pallo said that over the next couple of years, Arthur Wright, Billy Best, Norman Morrell and Ted Beresford all retired and Astaire swept up their businesses, leaving only Relwyskow and Green, plus Max Crabtree (who worked for himself as well as Joint).
Arthur Green then left Joint Promotions and George De Relwyskow died and Astaire put Billy Dale in charge. Astaire then sold DM to William Hill.
This is where the trouble starts; Mike Judd (who Jackie called "Paul Lincoln's general dogs body") is brought in to DM and made a Director. He starts telling the wrestlers what to do, which rounds to take a fall in, things like that. Experienced wrestlers didn't like it.
Jackie said that on one occasion, he walked into Judd's office and Judd said "I didn't hear you knock?", so Jackie had him up against the wall, threatening to punch him (Pallo had a boxing background, don't forget), and McManus pulled Pallo off and calmed him down.
Jackie said that after this, his bookings would be all over the place, so for example if he was appearing on a quiz show or "The Generation Game" or something like that, he would suddenly find he was wrestling in Newcastle that day.
April 1973, "This is Your Life" contact Jackie Junior and ask if he can help to set his dad up, he agrees, and works with all the other Wrestlers and Joint Promotions, to make the show a success. Eamon Andrews and the TV crew are briefed to attend the Fairfields Hall in Croydon on a certain date . At the last minute, Pallo's match is switched and he is told to go to Aberdeen. JJ scrambles to stop the film crew going to Croydon, costing a lot of money as things are already in motion.
Eventually everything is re-arranged, and three months later, in Reading, as Pallo is about to face Adrian Street, Eamon Andrews walks in and the show goes ahead and is filmed.
On the day it is scheduled to be on ITV, Pallo is told he has to be in Perth (meaning he will miss the broadcast). He manages to catch the show by literally stopping at a hotel and asking if they have a TV lounge.
A few months later, JJ tells his dad about the Aberdeen story and Pallo is furious.
The problems with Mike Judd continue, and if Pallo or JJ ever question anything, Judd says "If you don't like it, go and do something else".
According to Jackie Pallo, he mulled things over for a while and then one morning in 1975, he called Mike Judd and told him he would wrestle his final dates, that week, but after that he was gone, and to take him off the books. The following week he set up Jackie Pallo Enterprises.
