UK Wrestling Documentary on iPlayer

I saw that, found it really interesting. Shame wrestling in the UK is all but gone now

I was lucky enough to catch the last few years of British Wrestling before it was canned off the tele. I was gutted when they cancelled it.

Kendo Nagasaki, that's some awesome dedication to a character.

This show has lead me to now understand so many of William Regal's references. He's always referring to people like Klondike Kate and Adrian Street

Saw it last night. Good watch :)

I do remember watching it when I was a little kid. I remember guys like Big Daddy, Giant Haystacks and Kendo Nagasaki anyway.

Giant Haystacks used to run a fish shop 2 minutes from me, my ground parents run another in the village and they become quite good friends, living with my grandparents whilst I was younger I spent a fair but if time the the Giant and Shirley (Big Daddy for younger fans) And Shirley is one of the nicest gents I have every met. Although it was giants shop most of my memories are of Shirley throwing me about my grand parents living room and putting me in headlocks lol.
