Thanks for posting this match - a fine example of British professional wrestling from that era, with two excellent wrestlers in the ring. Tally Ho Kaye was always good value and McMichael was a solid, skilled wrestler.
Was always greg valentine with me to wank to or get horned up pre bout also danny collins kid mcoy chic cullen ian mcgregor keith hayward pete roberts steve speed richie brookes and many others hot gear n bums
Is that the match with Valentine in purple trunks and gold boots? Kidd in the red and white trunks? Kidd was much the better wrestler, but Valentine was always allowed to win.
Yes. That's the bout. It's at Bethnal Green. Valentine looks so good in those purple trunks and boots! Especially when he has Kidd in a step over leg lock.
Think so - Greg always wore hot gear - wonder if he chose it or it was for the camera - always bright gear - some very hot white inc white metallic gold purple v hot to watch and lovely in a press or boston
A big fan of Geoff Portz to---I have watched some of his old matches and they excite the hell out of me....I also found one of Andre Drapp, dam what a fine specimen of wrestling powerhouse beef cake manhood and he knew how to slap on and twist and scuffle.
Geoff was a mans man- he would wrestle verne gagne a lot her win the states as my dad has told me but geoff was the appitamy of masculinity if you ask me as eel ass Andre. Andre was a bodybuilder in the 40's who turned to pro wrestling and he was from france, agin things my dad turned m onto him. I think he competed against steve reeves in bodybuilding from what google has said.
I found some ones when he was younger solidly built like a bodybuilder smoother too when he first started out...are you kidding me always looking for steves matches or any other brit pro powerhouse matches.....There just isn't a lot out there of his matches and I always wondered if you can purchase them anywhere...you tube wrestling brit pro matches to view is like watching muscle porn but way better because of ROUGHNESS involved.
There was a time when pro wrestling was real and this was good. It is an absolute disgrace what we have now, pre scripted nonsense that is an insult to the world of sports where people deliberately lose (would never be tolerate din any other sport). Even calling "pro" wrestling wrestling is a disgrace. It seems that this "show" makes money and this is a total corruption of what once was a very genuine sport.
I call it the muscle ballet today----tho you have to be in good shape to take the controlled holds its not like when in my dads day it was a brute powerhouse match ups to watch.
I agree entirely with all you say, wrestling nowadays can't be called wrestling, it's nothing but rubbish. bring back the old days of great moves, holds and escapes, that's the way I want to wrestle
Hi Paintlad,
That is a great 10:34 minutes of wrestling between Wilson and St Clair. Pity it had to end early. I love watching the long held submission holds (the arm lever) when he is trying to weaken his left arm, with the pain of the throws on the back hammer.
I have always found that sort of skilful submission wrestling so sensuous.
Hope that you and Wristlock agree.
I know most guys will not have seen the old style W O S wrestling at the time it was on black and white TV, but for the guys like me that remember watching it, please lets have your comments.
I never missed a Saturday afternoon at 4pm, I would go round to my grandmothers to watch it with her, she loved it, and at 9 years old so did I, she would shout at the TV, always for the good guy of course.
I really loved the technical side of it, the moves from one hold to another, and the escapes, real or not I loved to watch the holds and how they put them on, also I would say to myself and gran, how's he going to get out of that, but they would and put an hold on there opponent.
I learned a lot from watching W O S wrestling over the years, so lets have your thoughts on it, your stories of watching it in the 60, 70, and 80s, and if your to young to have seen it on TV ( you lucky sod ) please try the internet and lets have your comments
