dawho5 Posted June 17, 2015 Report Posted June 17, 2015 For some reason I can't make any kind of link work on this. On obsessedwithwrestling.com there is a referees list for various promotions/territories that seems pretty comprehensive. If someone knowledgeable about the Montreal territory in the 80s could point me at a few of the refs active around 83 that would be greatly appreciated. I figured anyone looking for a good ref list would appreciate the link and perhaps some guidance from those a bit more familiar with their territory than they are if that is the case.
Crazymax Jack Posted June 30, 2015 Report Posted June 30, 2015 Andre Roy, Eugene Brie, Luigi Marcera, Adrien Desbois, Omer Marchessault are the names you can look into for this period.
Grimmas Posted June 30, 2015 Report Posted June 30, 2015 Toronto referees or did they just use Crockett guys as well?
Crazymax Jack Posted June 30, 2015 Report Posted June 30, 2015 dawho5 had inquired about Montreal, so the referees I listed worked in Montreal for International Wrestling/Lutte Internationale (and the other promotion names that were used) A few Toronto refs were Terry Yorkston, Roger Francour, Pierre Bertrand, and John Bonello (after he retired). I don't think Bonello completely retired until 1984, but he was reffing matches in 83. I don't know how you guys work things in this league so I don't know if he can be used, but he's on the verge of ring retirement.
dawho5 Posted July 3, 2015 Author Report Posted July 3, 2015 Several more Montreal questions. Ring announcer's name? Interview guy's name? Did he speak English as well as French? Did they do a lot of towns outside of Montreal in a loop?
