Wrestling Heritage welcomes memories, further information and corrections.
Danny Flynn and Fred Woolley had wrestling careers dating back to the 1940s. They were highly rated wrestlers on Joint Promotions circuit from the start of the cartel until October, 1959, when like many others they became disillusioned with their pay and conditions and chose to work outside the Joint Promotion organisation.
Quite a few of those wrestlers that left Joint Promotions during this period also began to promote their own shows, presumably thinking that if the money stayed in the promoter’s pocket it might as well be their pocket. Some of those wrestlers found success as promoters whilst others did not.
Woolley and Flynn, having set up base in their hometown of Salford, found a great deal of success and operated in the North and Scotland throughout the sixties and into the early seventies. Theirs were quality, reliable shows, regularly using big names such as Dominic Pye, Dai Sullivan Mike Marino, The Wildman of Borneo, and newcomers like Johnny Saint and Al Marquette as well as visiting international stars that included Crusher Verdu and Ricky Starr.
