Good detective work Hack. I like your theory.

thanks for following up on that Ron.

I think I found him, November 17, 1952 at Hull: HULL;Baldwin v S.Crabtree; The Farmer v Abdul the turk; Lewis v Flynn; Portz v Jim Sanderson I wonder if he used any other names.

I spy Doncaster again. So does this mean Wryton were linked to Dick & Jessie Rogers at Manchester & New Brighton?

Here's a couple of examples: May 1st, 1944 – Doncaster, England Jack Pye bt Van Wurden; Hussey bt Atherton; Cerino kod Brokau  A.Small bt Terrance Ricardo   May 2nd, 1944 – Warrington, England  [Parr Hall] Alexandra Alexinis vs David Armstrong Jack Pye vs Jack Atherton Jim Hussey vs Padvo Peltonin Ted Beresford vs Val Cerino Promoter: Wryton May 15th, 1944 – Doncaster, England Blue Mask bt McDonald; Tarzan bt B.Riley; Bill Goach bt Ogden Jack Beaumont 1-1 Joe Robinson   May 16th, 1944 – Warrington, England  [Parr Hall] Jack Pye vs David Armstrong Alexandra Alexinis vs Jim Hussey Robert MacDonald vs Jack Atherton Jack Beaumont vs Joe Robinson Promoter: Wryton June 26th, 1944 – Doncaster, England Seddon v Van Wurden; Atherton v Wild Tarzan; Batten v Doulas the turk Ogden v Bill Borch   June 27th, 1944 – Warrington, England [Parr Hall] Jack Pye v McDonald; Atherton v Joe Batten; Ogden v Beckley; Tarzan v Morrow

Ron, just going through this again as I update my bills & results. I noticed Doncaster was often run the day prior with a similar crew.

I'd forgotten to share this unusual clipping of Cowboy Cassidy training his daughter Kerina:

Nice one Ron

Great stuff Ron, thanks again.

John Marshall from Australia:

No it was the American, John Hill.

Here you go. Will add to "names to faces" topic also.

John Marshall wrestled in NZ a couple of times (will have a photo somewhere). Guy Mitchell also wrestled here.

I need to source a better photo:

I visited with Dave Cameron on Friday.

All I'm saying is there wasn't one single Kamikaze. I think there is an agreement of that.

Aledo was working for Joints in May of 1964, after that just a couple of one-off appearances. A Kamikaze starts on Joint bills in December of 1965. This continues until the end of January 1966. Bob Anthony reappears on Joint bills at the end of March 1966. We all know what happened in this timeframe with Lincoln & DM. In 1967, there's a Kamikaze on the independents, another possible timeframe for Stratton. I can find sporadic appearances for Kamikaze in 1968 and then again in 1973. Ray has listed the 1973 Kamikaze as Al Miquet.

To be definitive, we'd need to track Aledo in Spain, France, Belgium and anywhere else he wrestled. We also don't know when he started using the Kamikaze gimmick. The last result I have for Modesto Aledo in the UK in 1963 is late May in Southampton (He of course lost to George Kidd at the Royal Albert Hall on the famous Royal bill on May 22). The first Kamikaze sighting for Paul Lincoln is May 11, at Edgware Road in London (billed against Hayes) but we don't have results for that show. There's another billing for May 27 in Slough, but again no results. The first result for a Kamikaze on a Paul Lincoln show is June 1st, 1963 at Skegness. Then we have the June 11 show in Greenford. My listing has this as Aledo as Kamikaze. Kamikaze appears until November of that year, but the appearances become less frequent after June. This may have been when Anthony or someone else took over. I can also see a Kamikaze up north (not Lincoln shows) in late 1963. I presume this was Stratton. My next result for Aledo (under that name) is May 7, 1964 in Bristol for Dale Martin. At the same time, there is a Kamikaze working for Paul Lincoln. I can go into more detail next time for 1965.

Consider me confused (but perhaps that's the point), I thought we were trying to identify the Kamikaze(s) that worked for Paul Lincoln. In that context, I still suggest Bob Anthony. Most of the time.

Eleven Kamikazes? Worse than rabbits.
