A couple of months later, Kid McCoy got a rematch and won the belt! He held it until 1990 when he and father King Ben were both fired by Brian Dixon after an incident involving Peter "Kendo Nagasaki" Thornley.
Two fine wrestlers. ken Joyce was a fine wrestler too and a good referee. Sadly, he died way back in 1990. It go confusing as time went by with all the different promoters with wrestlers fighting for titles all over the place and then having re-matches a week or so later. I believe the www.itvwrestling.co.uk site has details of all the promoter details and suchlike. Surprised to learn that Mark left wrestling for a business career when in his early 20s! Maybe coz wrestling was no longer an attraction due to it being taken off TV?

Great contest.
I always watched Steve Grey wrestle against Johnny Saint

3-minue rounds not really long enough for wrestlers of this calibre.
Kid McCoy doesn't even look like he could pin a girl.
