Good bill but glaring poster error: shouting about GRAND DOUBLE TITLE EVENT when there are three title bouts. The name of the promoter interests me and I am still waiting for a non-Southerner to accept my challenge of unravelling some of these righthand-man-type characters for me, eg Best, Green. All I know about this guy is that he wore sunnies and carried enough clout to get a world title for his boy. Was frequently on tv.

This Indio Guajiro really gives me the pip. In all his career couldn't he come up with his own identity? There will only ever be one Masambula, our man of mystery. Mind you, when we researched Max Bambula he proved to be a proper wrestler pre-war with a glittering career. A shame we have lost the thread, there were juicy results galore. Maybe I shouldn't criticise Indio too much for copying considering Max Bambula and his contemporary Jim Wango clearly "influenced" a couple of our boys .....

Strange he never set up a Wrestlers v Lords Taverners match. Maybe he didn't want his fellow wrestlers to hob-nob it with the celebrities?

Oh great, love the dim lighting, looks atmospheric.

I am surprised at your doubts, Matey Dave. Unquestionably Kendo Nagasaki: the gestures, the accent, even the missing finger. Great work for an 83-year-old to climb into the ring and trot out the story. I do agree that the venue looked sparsely populated and just a couple of loud guys tried to create the heat. All the more credit to Kendo Nagasaki for going through with it. Just watching the video, very hard to relate to the absent guy he calls out, but who doesn't appear. We wanted a face-to-mask confrontation of sorts, didn't we? This is the first time I (we?) have heard him speak with his mask on. Certainly it diminishes the brand, but if someone was up for giving him a monkey for 10 minutes work, at this point, good luck to him.

He looks like a Member of Boris Johnson's cabinet.

Naughty of you to sneak in little snippets that we clearly cannot relate to. We are all doing our best here to unravel things. Please tell us clearly about Sandbach and herds in the same way as I, for instance, have piped up to highlight Aberdeen, Blackburn, Poplar and all the rest. It's all about sharing openly. Gee - if a Wryton trusty northerner like you cannot unravel Wryton what chance does a Southern Jesse have?

Yay! I was dead on with 1948! The promoters of course had editorial control over, and published, all the magazines. What is interesting is how the graphics of 1948 are those as used unchanged in The Wrestler over a decade later. Can someone please untangle Wryton for me? Riley, Bartelli, Atherton, Best, Rylands, maybe even Woodhouse .... I need an organogram. I see you, Powerlock: "Sunderland has always had a lack of venues..." In this context my comment was that Norman seemed stumped, but also persistent in wanting to promote there.

To think we complain about Max Crabtrees (sic.) posters! No chance of complaining about a no-show based on this poster.

Hope you are safe there today, John. I've seen the terrible news about the killings.

I singled out Aberdeen because of the Relwyskow angle. Now I can add that Norman seemed much more cautious about crossing the Pennines, albeit much closer to home. He's got Blackburn but that is relatively near Bradford; but he doesn't touch the cities or the coast. This tells me he already had some kind of arrangement with Wryton and Billy Riley.

Some of the recent suggestions had slipped through the net. Please shout if the list is still not up to date as of today.

OMG that is fantastic, wrestling GOLD. Lucky boy, The Ost. Even cliffs! I'd love to spot the year and will take a stab at 1948. So much to examine. Top left is fascinating: it tells us that he was out on a limb at Lime Grove as well as at Poplar Baths. And he was stepping on other toes in Aberdeen. What's more, the format of his list is exactly that as later printed in The Wrestler. Only one mention, and humbly bracketed, of the key word "professional." He wanted to conquer Sunderland but didn't have a hall. Those London encroachments can help us understand why Jack Dale would have been keen to come to a truce. I'd like to know what the leopard-like spots mean, but in any case, Wales was well served. I can hear Ron revving up for Poplar .....

I have just come across the World Middleweight Champion in the 1971 film "A Couple of Beauties." Poor us who grew up at that time, it's dire.

You're quite right. I'll insert it now.

Just a technical point, Ron. Your research has clearly made you a master of venue capacities. I have been to plenty of wrestling venues but never stopped to assess the capacity of the hall and if you asked me now how many could fit into, say, the Albert Hall or Failed Halls or Tooting Granada, I just wouldn't have had a clue.

Very hard for me to adjudicate, if that is my role. Your contributions are great and we are clearly scraping the barrel now; I don't mean that disparagingly, just that it looks like we have nailed down most UK venues from the Heritage years. So.... I think that if there was A shopping centre show in this century, it shouldn't really appear on our list. I agree that the mention of American and Italian venues is interesting, but we really want this list to be limited to places we know or can relate to. Not for the first time over the decades☺ I cannot understand Mad Mac: are you suggesting Stringfellow's niteclub at Cambridge Circus? All "my" lists are intended for democratic inclusions, so let me know if I am being unfair.

Glad you enjoyed Los Angeles, Peter. Just wondering what sort of punter and in what numbers would be wanting to go wrestling at midnight?

All those close-up eagle eyes --- it must have been real or very very realistic.

Good spot, Hack. With Tony Cassio being the ongoing link, maybe Alan Allan was his son/brother/lodger? Great name, seemingly inspired by Adam Adamant, in production that April and which would hit the small screen six weeks after the World cup Final.
