That's the thing people don't understand about the wrestling business......yes, they are entertainers, but some of them (a very small amount) are legit tough guys. They train hard for years to put on a show for people, so why should Savile just walk in and take over? You've obviously heard of Hulk Hogan, The Rock, Stone Cold Steve Austin, John Cena etc (all in films).......they are all athletes, bodybuilders with great physiques, marketable, who can wrestle a bit, and act a bit. And obviously capable of taking a bump or two. Then there's the real tough guys......who nobody should fuck with. And then there's Haku/Meng/King Tonga (who's the The Rock's uncle) who not even the real tough guys would dare fuck with. Back in the 80's he was the tag team partner of Andre the Giant, and even Andre was terrified of him. When he was in WCW they didn't really have any particular role for him to fill for many years, but they kept him on regardless because the Management were too scared to terminate his contract.

So how are things going as The Leader of the Kiddies Chapter?

Not even the hardcore Lycra boys on bikes go out in the temps we have now! No matter how fit they might be, they could end up in Hospital......or worse!

No! Saville was always creepy even before the truth surfaced! Plus, Adrian Street maintained it was making a mockery out of the business and making legit hard man wrestlers like him look pathetic. He was willing to put other legit wrestlers over (let them win) but not a fucking idiot like Savile. I've seen the full interview and apparently Savile thought he was a real tough guy and needed bringing down a peg or two.

Adrian Street talking about Savile! Apparently Savile never wrestled again after that match!

Very handy skill to have in case you end up getting locked in a scrapyard and you feel a bit peckish!

Two African guys did it in their backyard! But according to the comments they're amazing!

Getting broody? Well that ship has sailed for you!

The old women in the crowd used to go apeshit! They never sussed that it was all part of the show. Mick McManus and Steve Logan were great baddies!

Good point! Nothing good ever came from fucking a dead moose! I heard the Doctors said to him......"Sorry to tell you Marcel but it appears that you're now suffering from brain damage". And he told them......"What you talking about.......my brain has been like that well before I came in here".

Continuing with Homeland......I started watching it ages ago and somehow forgot about it.

Best wishes for a quick recovery Marcel!

From that era I used to like Marty Jones, Mark Rocco, and Dynamite Kid. Marty Jones is the only still alive at 78 and he's a wrestling trainer......with a few of his students having gone on to WWE.

Just because it's choreographed sports entertainment doesn't mean that falling 30ft onto a table covered with barbed wire doesn't fucking hurt!

Nice one Bob!

You never saw ECW in the 90's then? Wrestling for Psychos performing for an audience of drunken thugs! This is worlds' removed from Big Daddy UK Wrestling!

Why a farmer?

Yeh......with Bobby Barnes!

Yeh.....I did Llandow a few times! It was a free for all!

What?

Back in the 70's we had open access to Pembrey Aerodrome as well.

Has he always been abusive?

No update from @Marcel since Friday?

The old Heads of the Valleys road down that long hill towards Glynneath was my preferred location!
