Mike Marino Memorial Shield
The Mike Marino Memorial Shield was a British professional wrestling single-elimination tournament produced by Dale Martin Promotions, which took place on 29 September 1981 at Fairfield Halls in Croydon, England. The event aired on ITV's World of Sport two months later. One of the first, if not the first, memorial shows in British professional wrestling, it was held in memory of longtime British Mid-Heavyweight Champion Mike Marino, arguably the most popular pro wrestler in the country during the 1960s and 70s, who died on the M20 motorway in Folkestone, Kent on 24 August 1981. Ten professional wrestling matches were featured on the event's card, with three non-tournament matches.
