Good detective work Hack. I like your theory.

thanks Ron! I will still need to get all those dates to add to my listings.

Great thread guys and some great questions being asked. I have the following gaps in my Belle Vue listings: No shows between 11 August 1939 and 27 September 1940. No shows between 12 October 1940 and 21 June 1941. No shows between 23 August 1941 and 8 November 1941 I have also found the odd occasion where they ran a third time in the week. Must have been doing solid business for that to happen.

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

@Hack I visited Dave Cameron on Friday.

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'm glad they found a safe home. As an owner of (a portion of ) someone else's collection, I respect that.

@j_shelvey what did you do with your print memories? I hope they didn't get thrown away.

I need to source a better photo:
