Wrestling star Jackie Pallo dies

Wrestler Jackie Pallo, one of wrestling's biggest stars in the 1960s, has died at the age of 80.
Pallo, who fought before the Big Daddy/Giant Haystacks era, died at his home in Ramsgate, Kent, on Saturday after battling with cancer.

The pony-tailed wrestler, whose nemesis in the ring was Irishman Mick McManus, was known by his fans as Mr TV.

Former commentator Reg Gutteridge - Pallo's cousin - described ...

Jonny Moss regained the title for the third time, defeating Paul Tracey on 18th Oct in Bray, Co. Wicklow, Ireland.

Also, on the NWA Ireland Title page, it's listed that Paddy Morrow won the UK title in Nashville on 8th October. That match was at the NWA convention, and ended in a DQ, so neither title changed hands.

Does anybody have any information on Irish titles? I'm trying to figure out in particular what happened to the Irish Heavyweight Title and the Northern Irish Heavyweight Title and where they came from. The information I have so far (very little) is on my site here - http://homepage.eircom.net/~kmcmahon
