By Joe D'Orazio and Pam Edwards
"The Who's Who of Wrestling" is a very useful book, giving a 'snapshot' of famous personalities in
British professional wrestling at the time of its publication in 1971.
For each selected wrestler, there is a 'pen picture', plus a little background information. As the book is no longer in
publication, The Wrestling Furnace Picture Gallery is reproducing the text and pictures from the book here, in
order to feature as many wrestlers as possible on this website. Some of the wrestlers have galleries on this website,
but for others, this may be the only place they appear on the site, at least until more pictures and information on them
can be found.
If you have more photos or information on any of these wrestlers,
please help The Wrestling Furnace Picture Gallery to
create 'galleries' of them.
Please email: furnacehot@aol.com
The book includes the following listings, giving useful (and some not-so-useful) statistics and trivia about the wrestlers:
(Note that 1 stone = 14lbs or 6.35kg, e.g. 12 stones = 168lbs or 76.2kg)
And now: THE WRESTLERS (and some of wrestling's other characters too)
NB: Pictures will be randomly chosen from the book over a period of weeks, and added to this page, always maintaining alphabetical order, until complete
More to follow ...
Got more photos or information on any of these wrestlers you'd like to share with others?
