All Star Superslam Wrestling
All Star, Europe's most respected and longest established
wrestling organisation is now
starting a fifth decade after an amazing rollercoaster
ride that still brings thousands of fans to
some of the country's leading venues!
It was in 1970 that Birkenhead-based Brian
Dixon first threw his hat into the promotional
ring with an October bill at Marple, Cheshire. 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 1970's and into
the 1980's.
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.
Over the years, All Star has presented stars like
Wayne Bridges, Tony St.Clair, Catweazle,
Robbie Brookside, Wayne Martin, Bobby
Barnes, Kendo Nagaski, Steve Regal (now
better known as WWE Superstar William Regal)
and many more.
Britain has become a mecca for North American
stars down the years and big names from
WWF/WWE to appear here for All Star have
included Jake 'The Snake' Roberts,
'Earthquake' John Tenta, Yokozuna, The
Bushwhackers, Jim 'The Anvil' Neidhart and
Greg Valentine, while there have been more
recent visits from the 'American Avalanche'
P.N.Neuz, ring vampire Gangrel, native
American ring brave Tatanka, colourful Big Vito
and Ricky Steamboat junior.
There have been long-standing links between
All Star and World Wrestling Entertainments
(WWE), going right back to when its WWF
predecessor's first UK bill at London's
Docklands Arena included bouts with All Star
wrestlers.
