All Star Wrestling U.K. Description
All Star, Europe’s most respected and longest-established wrestling organisation is now in its 43rd year after an amazing roller-coaster ride that still brings regular presentations at some of the country‘s leading venues while thousands regularly watch Superslam action at the Butlins and Haven holiday resort centres!
It was in 1970 that Birkenhead-based Brian Dixon first threw his hat into the promotional ring with an October bill at Marple, Cheshire. Blonde bombshell Miss Mitzi Mueller faced Hellcat Haggerty in a ladies main event clash and others on view included ‘Cowboy’ Jack Cassidy and Mickey Gold. It all went well until Brian found at the end of the evening that the takings had been stolen from the boot of his car! Undeterred, he pressed on to attract top stars and move into larger halls around the country through the 1970s and into the 1980s.
It was not long before All Star’s Wrestling Enterprises and Merseyside All Star Wrestling predecessors were looking outside Britain for talent with early overseas visitors including North Americans John Gildon and Chief Billy White Cloud, plus European ladies stars Lena Magnanni and Lola Garcia. A big breakthrough came in 1986 when All Star secured a regular spot presenting 'World of Sport's' Saturday afternoon televised action, the cameras first zooming-in for a November 25 bill at the Lewisham Theatre, Catford, where a six event card opened with Japan’s Fuji Yamada opposed by Rocky Moran. Wayne Bridges faced Tony St. Clair; Catweazle ran into Shane Stevens before a clash of lightweight contenders between Jon Cortez and Jackie Robinson. 'Rollerball’ Mark Rocco and Johnny Saint battled it out in a clash of world champions before the evening finished with tag action as teen stars Robbie Brookside and Wayne Martin faced Bobby Barnes and Bob Barratt.
The TV spotlight moved to Central London the following month to record all the drama of a bill at the ‘Talk of the Town’ nightspot, then being run by Peter Stringfellow. The afternoon event saw Kendo Nagaski back in the ring against ’Iron Fist’ Clive Myers while Rocco clashed with Chic Cullen, Yamada met Potteries wildman Jon Wilkie and there was even a battle between Moran and Brookside amid a flashing disco lightshow and near deafening music. Even after ITV pulled the ‘World of Sport’ plug, All Star continued to flourish and while other organisations went out of business, Brian Dixon moved with the times bringing in leading international names from North America and Japan while encouraging and consistently featuring the best of British talen
Reviews
THE HENCHMAN Jim Diehard has made it clear that his first title defence will not be against reigning Champion Oliver Grey, once he has beaten him in Friday nights big All Star show in Gravesend.
One of the biggest men on the current scene Diehard was the winner of the 8 man KO Tournament at the last show when in the 4 way finale he deposed of everyone and earned his title shot.
Deano, who was one of the last men in the finale faces Lord Robin, while his wife Lady Lori faces t...he challenge of Erin Angel.
Tickets for the 5 match card are available from the Box Office - full details at - www.superslamwrestling.co.uk

You can find it on his Superb Facebook page - Today in History - and Wrestlers and Fans alike I am sure will enjoy the read

IT is with very great regret that will have today heard that The Mighty John Quinn has passed away after an operation for a stroke.
This comes just a day after the anniversary of his World Heavyweight Title win in 1980 against Wayne Bridges at Brent Town Hall, Wembley.
He headlined British Wrestling's biggest ever show of the time against Big Daddy at Wembley Arena
... Our thoughts are with his Family at this very sad time
