Met Haystacks in Germany when on Wrestling Tour with Tony St Clair...never met anyone as big since....came to our Cookhouse and ate 6 full dinners and a Cheeseboard selection...was a very nice,pleasant and quiet man.
So great to see this tag-team match from my childhood. One of my favourite British heel wrestlers was Dave Fit Finley. He was a fantastic wrestler with a great wrestling brain.
It's such a shame that we didn't get the proper wrestling backstories that were being used in the States at this time...I loved my Saturday afternoon wrestling as a kid...but the Promos and gimmicks of, say Memphis wrestling at this time (with about 10% of the audience of World of Sport!...)well, it would have made this heaven...
4pm on Saturday afternoons, used to watch it with my dad, now those good old days are gone, Big Daddy gone, Giant Haystacks gone, and even my dad passed away in 1991, certainly the 70's and 80's was a great time to grow up in, not like today, what do we have to look forward to now? ...cooking programmes on Saturday mornings, and the dreadful X factor.
