A few years ago I posted about a vintage wrestling poster (photo above) dating back to 1965. The poster was still stuck on a pillar on a soon to be demolished building on Fahad Al Salem street and I was hoping someone would end up saving the poster.
Since I was in the area the other day I decided to pass by and see if the poster was saved and sadly it wasn’t as you can see in the photo above. My guess is someone tried to break off the marble slab to rescue the poster but ended up accidentally breaking the slab in half. Sucks.

U should have removed it off yourself. It could have been in better hands.
its not easy,it starts getting torn apart.best way could be to use stone cutting machine to get that slab off the wall.
Mark, i tried to remove it way back when you originally posted about it. As you know I’m a past Wrestler so for you to find this, was important to me. Anyways, i did try to remove it but was not easy. So i spent months looking for a professional with either concrete, cement or tile to help me. Brought many guys to try but none could do it. The damage to your updated pic was not me. Wish i had that flyer so i could have preserved it.
Should have been removed using steam, just like when removing wall paper!!
