Hello,

i found some matches of wrestlers from America in the 1930s and 40s in England. First is former AWA World Champion Ed Don George, who wrestled in the late 1930s in Europe. According to this source from England he had only one match there in 1937 or 15.04.1938 against Leo Lefebvre. This is the result:
