George Drake & Frank Tunney with Pat Flanagan & Dino Bravo

Another fabulous photo sent over by Roger Baker

Circa 1960 - likely May 12 as Drake had the night off, while Dino Bravo (the original)
waits behind to face off against Don Jardine -later The Spoiler

Roger shares - "The wrestlers would make it a normal thing to be outside the dressing room area
which was the hallway that they were standing in, that's Pat Flanagan and Dino Bravo in background, the fellow
looking at the camera near Pat was a handler for the wrestlers, don't recall his name."

"George Drake was referred to in past magazine stories as "Catalina" George Drake.
Did a story on a wrestler who was appearing in Toronto perhaps eight years after I snapped the Drake Tunney pic,
his name was Paul Diamond, recall his wife telling me at that time, that Paul, and herself were good friends with Drake."

Thanks again to Roger Baker for sharing another nugget from Toronto's Wrestling past
