Prefered PROPER wrestling ......... Jackie Pallo, Mick McManus, The Royals etc

[mortiboy]

That was not "proper wrestling" either (Your showing your age now!)All a show but still clever!I have seen Mc Manus beat ---- out of an opponant.Later having a laugh and joke with him in a pub nearbye
But good old days eh?Jackie pallo not with us now. But Mick is still around .Live Herne bay UK

[stokiebaz]

i remember the old ones aswell,royal brothers,adrian street etc,wwe is more like a soap and is classed as sports entertainment rather than wrestling,great if you don,t take it too seriously..stokiebaz..

Remember Adrian Street and Bobby Barnes as the tag team, the Hells Angels?
They would prance and mince around the ring before the bout, I'd watch it with my Grandmother who would get all worked up. My Nan would shout out "Bloody Poofs". Very funny looking back now.
Used to be on ITV on a Saturday afternoon before the classified results.

Kendo Nagasaki was my favourite, everyone tried to get his mask off.

you sound like my old nan from Edmonton n/London, god rest her,thats what i remember about her plus the Saturdays spent in her back room with Dickie Davis on The World of Sport at lunch times, yeah Kendo was Da Man prenders...very mysterious character when you are a young lad, then it was Results and a home cooked Meat and potato pie...same same every visit. lol
don't recall the royals though.

and Kendo is still going.

Sweet memories..I used to be sent up to a small village in Suffolk called Yoxford when I was a young lad during the school hols (parents too busy working so offloaded onto Gran )
She was the same....Loved her wrestling... especialy ol' Mick McManus!...I can still picture her now shouting at the TV to warn him what was going to happen, bit like a pantomine for fossils ... The Royals? Yep I remember them they always wore grey trunks (so did every other fu##er cos it was in Black and White!)

Here's a couple of nostalgic pics

Mick McManus



and Jackie Pallo



and just for BM...The legendary Kendo Nagasaki trying to strangle Giant Haystacks by the look of it =D>

[Roy]

Giant Haystacks and Big Daddy!

Fine figures of British sporting excellence

[beer monkey]

be honest wit cha..i used to hate the wrestling really, Kendo was worth a watch though....but there was only 2 or 3 channels in them olden days, and Ye Olde Worlde of Sporticus was all we got on Saturday afternoons..either that or smuggle a couple of woodbines from my Grandad and try to smoke them up the road a bit and give up after one puff. lol

[BobHelm]

Don't forget Pat Roach (who went on to make a tidy career for himself in TV & movies) and Les Kellett who was probably the most humorous one to watch....

[Prenders88]

Love this thread as Panick said, brings back sweet memories of more innocent days. Watching my Nan's reaction to the action on screen was all part of the fun. Now the kids steal to buy Crystal Meth, and then beat up someone's Grandmother for fun, on a Saturday afternoon.

I remember Les Kellet a fine wrestler, whose mop of curly hair would always fall in his face.

[mortiboy]

Do you remenber George Kid?He would hold out his hand,and the opponant would grasp it and he would twist it round to his favour!
Brilliant stuff.So good memories!

[beer monkey]

I use the term 'Mick McManus' today to describe someone i see on the beach when they are wearing the larger sized swimming trunks..."errr see that geezer over there wearing the Mick McManus's"...lol sniggger sniggerrrr.

Yeah Pat Roach (bomber) R.I.P

[beer monkey]

In this vid Our Hero Kendo gets his mask ripped off, its right at the end, and check out the face expressions and 'moves'...the commentator sounds familiar from years back too.
