Correct. But as a wrestler, the best.

Is it him that used to wake his wife up with a gun every morning?

Here is my all time favourite wrestler taking on Dynamite. Mark Rollerball Rocco, who sadly passed away last year.

This is late 70s early 80s era, when British wrestling was on top.

Check out the action and how pioneering these guys are. You can see Sharp shooters, tombstones ect, which would go on to become finishing moves for World titles at WrestleMania in years to follow.

If you want to see British wrestling at its best, check out matches from this era. Check out the matches of Dynamite, Rocco, Marty Jones and Fit Finlay.

He did once point a gun at his wife, but not every morning. He also once made her sleep in the closet.

There is a documentary about him on Dailymotion called "Dark side of the ring, Dynamite Kid." I watched it last night, it's a good watch.

You need to find a picture of him with Princess Paula.

I was gonna say, Big Daddy was from the Halifax and Huddersfield area. I do believe Giant Haystacks had connections to the Manchester area, so that makes more sense.

Thanks, Alf Good Docu' there.

Real name Peter Thornley. He kept that a secret for years and years.

I used to always go to the Wrestling as a kid and saw all the top stars of the day, but never got to see Nagasaki.
