| Biography | For over twenty years Dale Martin Promotions were the standard bearers of the Joint Promotion organisation. No other promoters did more to establish professional wrestling as a legitimate sport. Theirs were shows of the highest of standards and professionalism, with a higher percentage of technical bouts than seen elsewhere. Any criticism that could be made would probably be based upon the conservative nature of the business which made some shows appear unadventurous and less attractive than their northern peers. Whilst publicly disparaging the challenge from independent promoter Paul Lincoln in the early 1960s they did, nevertheless, quietly allow Lincoln to nurture much of their talent, including Adrian Street, Bobby Barnes, the Cortez brothers, and the Borg twins. |
