Kendo Nagasaki a masked wrestler with the infamous red eyes and tattoo top of the head who always bending
the rules and I remember the great tag contests with George Gillette at the Royal Albert Hall in London during
a televised wrestling with the South London Tough Guys Mick McManus & Steve Logan since 1976 also the
referee is the late Max Ward and the MC is Mike Judd,the timekeeper is the late Peter Bates.
Kendo made a comeback in the late eighties when ITV Sport ending after 33 years of British Wrestling in 1988.
I Will never forget the masked wrestler the infamous Kendo Nagasaki & George Gillette,

Dennis is so right about the fabulous Borg Twins being one of the greatest Tag Teams ever. Their flying was spectacular, and I should know having been on the receiving end of their unbelievable speed and agility, as I wrestled them many times during the late 60's and early 70's. Tony is now living in Minster on the Isle of Sheppey,and has attended the Reunion, while Iggy resides in Cambridge. Both men are fit and well, although Tony has lost his dark mane, favouring the shaved look these days.I have loaded a few posters of them from my own library, when we worked together, and there are recent photos of Tony at the Reunions on the photos page. Please email any memories or photos that you may have of these legends for inclusion.
I have just had a post about the Borg Twins or to give them their proper names
Ignatious & Tony from Malta as a young fan I was glued to the TV when they came on

There has been a fair bit wrote abot them on the Wrestling pages
But if anyone has any Pictures Posters or Stories please send to Frank at the Reunion page.
all the best Dennis Lord
I like Terry Christie's Top 30 wrestlers list ,it would be nice if people would add there favorite and why they liked them, as for me it had to be the Blue Angel on the independents shows, he was one of the nicest people in Wrestling, I learnt so much watching him it was of great disopointments that I never got the chance to wrestle him. please post all your Pictures Posters and Stories on here.
Frank at the reunion site is very keen to hear from Lady Wrestlers and fans of Lady wrestlers.
So to all friends keep posting and help Frank make this the best Wrestling site.
all the best Dennis Lord

The Organisers of the Southern Reunion have long wanted to give an award to Bob and Jean Bell in recognition of their massive efforts with the'Good Old Boys' Reunion, especially as Bob was suffering so badly at the time, putting extra pressure on both of them. Perhaps someone would receive it on their behalf, now that Monty Swann has moved away.?
