On The Mat

[Dave Homewood]

Long before the days of the overhyped rubbish that was the WWF wrestling show, NZ had it's own 1970's and 80's wrestling programme called "On The Matt" For some reason I loved this as a kid and it was popular too with kids at school, as we often used to re-enact the wrestling we'd seen on On The Mat.

It was presented by Ernie Leonard, and one regular wrestler I rememebr was called King Curtiss. I cannot recall the other wrestlers. Any ideas?

I used to watch this one with my Dad back in the b/w days. Don't remember individual wrestlers but seem to recall being affected by one ref being stomped on by a put-upon wrestler...
