Remembering Henri Irslinger on the anniversary of his death.

Few people are more worthy of the label of Pioneer than Henry Irslinger. Following British wrestling's twenty years in the wilderness it was Irslinger, along with Atholl Oakeley and Benny Sherman, who introduced All-In wrestling to Britain in 1930.

Wrestling as it was. The year is 1955, and this is what was happening.

1955 was the year that British citizens said goodbye to one Prime Minister, Winston Churchill, and welcomed another, Anthony Eden. Ruth Ellis achieved infamy as the last British woman hung for committing murder, and James Dean became an icon when he was killed in a car crash.

28th September

Happy 90th Dicky

Spend thirty seconds with Dicky Swales and you will have a smile on your face. Make that just ten seconds, by thirty you will be laughing out loud. Dicky Swales might be small in stature but he's certainly big in personality. Still is. Larger than life in 2019 as we add him to Personality Parade on the occasion of his 90th birthday.
