This is a fantatic site, with many memories, and days that sadly are passed by. Great credit is due to the authors of the site (or webmasters) for taking the trouble to transport us back to 4 p.m. on a Saturday and to hear the tones of Kent Walton again. Those days will always be remembered by true wrestling fans and this site not only explores that day but provides a timeless history of wrestling also.
Thank you very much.
Thank you very much.
Johnny Kwango...what a great guy, good wrestler but most of all a gentleman. I met his Daughter at an LDN 'Legend Show' about a years ago, she is a beautiful lady and so very pleasant to chat with, she is very proud of her Dad. I am hoping she will be at The Southern Reunion in August.
Thank you for mentioning Johnny Kwango as the name has stirred so many memories for me, one thing good about getting old is that I can remember 30 + years ago and all those happy times at Dale Martin Shows but I cannot remember much about yesterday. LOL

Very nostalgic. Takes me back to my childhood. This was the period when wrestling was at its peak. Johnny Kwango was my favourite wrestler. Thanks for all the entertainment and excitement. RIP Johnny.

i've just looked at this site for the first time. i was excited to see that the son of Albert Wall is a contributor. one of the greatest wrestlers to grace the ring, i hope that Albert is keeping well. I remember well, his epic bouts with the great Bill Robinson. not forgetting the original Kendo Nagasaki. Since the demise of that great era, I have taken little interest in sport, or indeed wrestling.
New to the internet, and just found Wrestling Heritage and very pleased with the informative about the golden age of wrestling. I'm hoping to find, in time more Information/DVD's/ video's that are hard to come by include Johnny Eagles, The White Eagles Tag Team, Andy Robins, Lee Thomas, Johnny Yearsley, Al Miquet, Hell's Angels Tag Team (Street and Barnes).

Thankyou for some good memories. I live on the Wirral and went to Liverpool Stadium every Friday in the 60's and 70's. When the Stadium closed down the Floral Pavillion in New Brighton staged wrestling on a regular basis for a while. I remember watching Mighty John Quin, Les Kellett, Johnny Logan, Count Bartelli, and many others. Good Luck with the site.
Best Wishes.

Great site !!
Brings back many cherished mid-late 60's memories of going to the Wrestling nights at Eldorado in Edinburgh and Falkirk Ice Rink with my late Dad and many other much missed friends.
Anything on those Scottish bills from that Golden Era would be very much appreciated.
Cheers Tom

John Flynn:
Is there any reason why there's no mention of Bobby Steele who was UK welterweight champion in 1958 and the mid 60's?
Thanks 04-Mar-09
Not really John. We have explained before that in good time we plan to give an extensive overview of British wrestling and so do not just concentrate on the big names. So at present it is a bit of a lottery with many significant wrestlers left out.
However, as you asked so nicely we have now added Bobby Steele to the letter S. 04-Mar-09

Peter Kershaw:
I was heartened to read your article about Bruno Elrington.
Although I was never really a wrestling fan, I knew Bruno personally, as he and Gwen were my landlords for almost 3 years, in 'real life' Bruno was very friendly and kind.
I remember asking him once why he was so 'nasty' in the ring whilst he was such a nice fellow out of the ring, and he said: "Well, look at me, I am big, hairy, and ugly, my image cannot really be anything else but nasty".
If you can hear me 'up there' Bruno, I shall always remember you a gentleman that it was a privilege to know.

I've only just read the Shining Stars feature on Jimmy Niblett aka Bob Sherry and congratulate you on a superb article that does full justice to a remarkable wrestler and a man I admired greatly.
I'll be on Holcombe Moor tomorrow and I'll certainly be thinking of Jimmy when I pass the Tower - the last place I saw him.
Excellent tribute to a great wrestler. 25-Dec-08
