The Rugeley Times has stopped printing the cards for the Walsall Town Hall. When I've finished going through the paper, I'll see if The Walsall Observer can fill in any gaps. January 11, 1962 - Stone Cross Cinema, West Bromwich, West Midlands, UKBob Kirkwood vs Peter Rann Karl Von Braun vs The White Angel Bobby Hill vs Brian Chamberlain Ray Hunter vs Lee Edwards The White Angel may well be Bob Kirkwood pulling double duty

Thanks again! I didn't add the Abbots Bromley card because none of the 8 wrestlers were in the database. This card is probably closer to a UK equivalent of backyard wrestling.

It did cross my mind that it was possibly just a bunch of the local villagers putting on a show for the townsfolk. The results of that show from November 15, 1967 were surprisingly printed in a later issue of the paper. Ray Charles drew with Prince Barnu The Outlaw beat Cowboy Cassidy by count-out Mitzi Mueller beat Yvonne Bardot by 2 falls to 1 Henri Pierlot & Paul Carpentier beat John Paul & Dai Charles

The Wild Man of Borneo vs Billy Yukon Golden Boy vs Billy Cook Geoff Fenton vs Brian Spencer Reg Ray vs Cyril Knowles Not sure on the identity of "Golden Boy". I doubt its Mike Marino as I'm sure his name would go on the poster.
