Many
readers of Wrestling Heritage are of an age when they have vivid
memories of American magazines of the 1960s, where they read of the
exploits of Thesz, Sammartino, Gagne, and a man called Karl Gotch.
Wrestling Heritage is a non commercial hobby site produced by two fans of the 1960s and many enthusiastic members. Our aim is simply to celebrate all those involved in British professional wrestling between 1930 and 1988.
