My father ever praised by the supreme skill of Harry Noon and many older fans will have enjoyed watching his match on last week’s fantastic episode of The Compendium when he faced off against Iran’s Ali Tabriz. In these pages you will learn more about Tabriz and is reputation for one of the roughest wrestlers in our rings - a far cry from my dear father’s favourite Mr. Noon.
Watching these episodes of The Compendium on The Super Channel have given me a huge admiration for the trials and tribulations of wrestlers from previous generations. As I watch our current day athletes such as Johnny Frenso and George Thompson battle in the ring, I wonder what our sport would be like if it was not for the great Harry Noon’s or Giant Nevis’.
I have recently secured flights to the West Indies and will be watching the wrestling there on 19 October. I enjoyed Fresno and Sherry wrestling each other previously and I am looking forward to watching them again, battle in the squared circle. We have secured exclusively the lineup for that show from KING GEORGE VI WRESTLING CLUB’s matchmaker Edwin Luntly and it looks like a most fantastic event on paper.
Once again, thank you for enjoying your wrestling and taking in this magazine, our subscribers, who now come from all over the world are growing by the week.
