All Star Wrestling U.K.
Description
All Star Wrestling is a British Professional wrestling promotion also known as All Star Promotions, Superslam Wrestling and Big Time Wrestling and originally known as Wrestling Enterprises (of Birkenhead), run by Brian Dixon and based in Liverpool 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
