Rex Strong Post Returns From Leeds Your Comments REX STRONG writes: I have just returned from a lovely weekend at Leeds where I attended the northern reunion in the company of Tony Kelly and Steve Fury. I really enjoyed meeting the many old friends like Colin Joynson, Lee Sharron, Peter Preston, Bobby Ryan and Jackie Robinson, and many many more. It was a very emotional time for me as the attendance read like a who's who of wrestling. No doubt a lot of the lads will have put on a few extra pounds in weight due to the excellent food laid on by the managment of The Midland Hotel both after the Legends show on the Saturday night and at the reunion on the Sunday. I am looking forward to attending many more of these well planned events. Well done to all organisers involved. Yours sincerely in Sport.

It was well worth the drive from Hampshire to Yorkshire to see Richie Brooks, Danny Collins, Skull Murphy, Johnny Saint, Keith Myatt, Johnny Angel , Robbie Brookside and Tony Stewart in action. Loads of other WOS legends were also there including Colin Joynson, Johnny Kincaid, Marty Jones etc. One of the major highlights was seeing Klondyke Kate in the role of 'interferring manager' in the tag match featuring Mike Weaver and Keith Myatt (shame their team and Stoke City were defeated on the same weekend). For me, one of the highlights of the show was Gordon Pryor showing us how a good referee and MC can make a real difference to a show . The man who MC'd on the final WOS event, played his part to perfection and he was so much better than the current crop of referees and MCs I've seen at recent shows. Palais Fan added these comments to the forum and others can add their comments.
