I'm not talking about that American crap, no, proper wrestling from the 60/70's.

Big Daddy
Giant Haystacks
Mike (flash) Jordan from Gorton
Jackie (Mr TV) Pallo
Rollerball Rocco
Mal Kirk (The Yorkshire miner)
Les Kellett
Adrian Street
Leon Arras (Actor Brian Glover)
Big John Lees (From Stalybridge)
Count Bartelli (From Crewe)
Johnny Saint
Jim Hussey
Alan Kilby (Deaf and dumb)
Kendo Nagasaki

Great days at the Kings Hall Belle Vue, along with the Belle Vue Aces Speedway.
 
It was almost as fixed as a rag game.

I did go once probably about 83 or 84, got free tickets and went with my best mate, we were only 16 or 17.

Giant Haystacks walked up the steps to get into the venue and was out of breath at the top, breathing heavier than a pervert on the phone.

There was more actual fighting in the crowd than in the ring, but it was a free night out.
 
WWE, nope.

Most other professional wrestling, yep. There's some excellent British style wrestling and British wrestlers making a great name for themselves

A brilliant wrestler for the visuals so safe journey to those happy hunting grounds. He was the leader of the Mohawk nation and used to crack out a war dance for the travelling faithful. He said in his writings that he was more of a journeyman wrestler than an all out star, featuring in the UK during the 60's with a resurgence in the 70's. His lad Wayne was the founder of the red or dead fashion firm that still sell glasses @specsavers.

If you dont want the full match then ff to 15.30 were Two Rivers goes into recovery mode to full on demolish Yearsley with his tried and patented Tomahawk blow! A murderous, ruthlous, pityless, cold blooded calous blow to his kneck with no hope of recovery. How people can interject that wrestings play acting is beyond comprehension : /

Then you will have seen some of his nice cameo performances in Conan were he played the Stygian wizard Thoth Amon, one of conans main adversaries. He also had a stint as Brytag in Red Sonja, the sword weilding superheroine of the sword and the sworcery genre. Crom!

He didnt stand a chance : (


Extracts from The Nemedian Chronicles
Know also, O prince, that in those selfsame days that Conan the Cimmerian did stalk the Hyborian Kingdoms, one of the few swords worthy to cross with his was that of Red Sonja, warrior woman out of majestic Hyrkania. Forced to flee her homeland and because she spurned the advances of a king and slew him instead, she rode west across the Turanian Steppes and into the shadowed mists of legendry.

Only wrestling with women lol.

Like a few here I grew up with the Saturday afternoon wrestling show, good fun. A bloke my dad knew used to put up wrestlers at his house when they came to Manchester for shows. I was in one of their fan clubs and got sent loads of signed pics and real photos of him larking around with screaming lord Sutch.
