British Wrestlers Reunion
Strengthening the Ring of Friendship

Hi my name is Dennis Lord

 I have been in Wrestling since 1963

 First as a Wrestler then a Promoter

A fan of the old wrestling back in the 1970's and 80's, when I used to enjoy seeing all the wonderful wrestlers/entertainers here in Peterborough.

Wrestling Heritage - The Home of Classic Wrestling

Hi all!  Privelidged to now be part of the forum.  Great days!  First went live wrestling in 1963 at West Ham baths, which was my local.  Spencer Churchill, The Zebra Kid, Bruno Elrington, Al Miquet, Dick Conlon come immediately to mind.  My late Mum and Grandmother were huge fans, and when my father died in 1978 I started taking my Mum to live wrestling to divert her mind from her bereavement.  We had some wonderful nights, especially at the Royal Albert Hall from 1979 - 1981.  Also Catford Town Hall, Walthamstow Assembly Hall, Woolwich Granada etc.  Put on a couple of shows myself, via Dale Martin at the ACE cinema in Upton Park in 1980, top of the bill Mick McManus .v. Johnny Kwango, and got to speak to the late great Mike Marino.  Also a show at the Elephant and Castle via All-Star.  Now take my youngest daughter (13) and her friends to Croydon Fairfield Halls when they have shows on, courtesty of Brian Dixon (a great personality and a brilliant promoter).  All in all I'd like to thank all the "old-timers" here (some not so old, certainly not as old as me!) for all the wonderful entertainment and belief over the years.  Certainly helped my Mum in her grieving period, and to be honest Wayne Bridge .v. "Mighty" John Quinn was certainly worth the entrace fee alone!  Good luck all wrestlers past and present, it's an honour being able to communicate with you all.

I was a world of sport wrestling fan and have followed British wrestling ever since.

I'm a 65yo who has been a wrestling fan since 1962 when I Started to attend wrestling shows at The Colston Hall Bristol

To Me those were thae halcyon days of british wrestling and it saddens me to read of some of the greats that have passed on to the Main Event up above.

But i consider myself lucky to have been part of  what for me was the best sport? of its time and the last of the travelling Trubodors of their time.

Thank s for letting me join and i'd love to attend one of your reunion's Tony Gould
