Based on the champions on the poster, it's likely from the UK.

I'm told that the UK and Ireland used to have a base-12 currency system, and would in 1950.

Two shillings was known as 2/- and is equal to 10p in the modern decimal system.

A half crown was known as 2/6 and is equal to 12.5p

I'm no math expert, but the 3/6 would probably be 17.5p and 4/6 would be 22.5p

That could be inaccurate so maybe someone knows more about that system.

You've roughly got the idea, it's pre-decimal currency basically. I love these old UK wrestling posters, Regal posts quite a few of them on Twitter.

Out of interest I threw those prices into a "How much is that worth now" calculator and came back with £17.50 for the most expensive and £7.76 for the cheapest which is quite comparable with today!

It appears there are no pictures of the 50s version of The Ghoul so here's one of his opponent that night

If this is legit, TNA clearly hasn't fired enough people yet, because there's no way the person or persons responsible for this should still be employed.

I recognized the glasses immediately. I refuse to believe this is an actual legitimate poster from TNA, this is something some fan did as a parody. There's no way this is real.

Yeah, I found it while looking for a TNA FINAL (re)SOLUTION image and assumed it was legitimate because TNA. As it turns out, though, it's part of a very detailed fantasy booked TNA reboot.

Now here's a TNA I can get behind!

H... How many captains are there

Is there a secret, untold story of a tragic Captain UWFI or a Captain Hustle? Is Captain IGF being grown in a glass tube underneath Antonio Inoki's island mansion?

I feel like this opens too many doors.
