I once had a night out in the West End with Cato(Burt Kwouk), he was in a play with a mate of mine, he was a bit of a cock.
Mike White foisted his obsession with wrestling to get a very boring interview with a 'diehard' Preston NE fan who happens to be a name in the wrestling world included on sportstalk last week. The diehard hadn't actually seen a PNE match for over five years.
I only went there as a kid, I can't remember anyone who lived around there, they moved to Anlaby Common when I was about ten.
I lived Spring Garden on Anlaby common, used to get the number 9 bus to North road when going to BP and then walk home after the match.
I remember Big Daddy and Giant Haystacks. I know who Hulk Hogan is. I have no idea who the rest of them are
It didn't take Brock Lesnar long to get knocked about in UFC, Frank Mir made him look like a pussy! My favourite wrestlers were the girls. Bra n panties matches were ace! As we're the wet t shirt competitions.
Trish Stratus was my first celeb crush. My favorites included Undertaker, Chris Jericho and Shawn Micheals.
Theres a video online somewhere that you should watch I still watch Royal Rumble and Wrestlemania, you only haveto read Gerrards blurb to know who the bellend is:
Back in the 'World of Sport' days I remember a couple of longish-haired blonde brothers that played sometimes as a tag team. Can't recollect their names...
Chilton I think you're referring to Adrian Street and Bobby Barnes. They were dressing like members of The Sweet by 1973! They used to fight tag team against the Royal Brothers! http://leoleigh.com/adrian-street-welsh-wrestler/bobbybarnes-adrian-street-wrestler-july1971-2/ Cheers
