You'd be surprised Ciobha, there's a 'real' wrestling all comers prize fight championship held once a year in Birmingham... Anyway, during the mid 70's Mick McManuns just kept winning the thing year after year until this Indian started flying over & dismantling everyone! And believe me there's some tough fuckers go in for this evet. it is very much for real, if you don't 'tap up' you're going to hospital with serious damage.

I come from the amateur wrestling world where we find the pros more embarrassing than anyone else, although I can still laugh at them & the pantomime spectacle, but it's the old ladies that try to get in the ring & hit them with their umbrellas that I love. Overall they're lovers not fighters, but McManus was 'for real', unlike his contemporaries mentioned here.

Just a little unknown fact to throw in :hi:

Anyone remember Adrian Street, with the long blond hair & the androgynous persona.

Yes Lung,i do actually-whatever happened to him? And Kent Walton who always did the commentary on the TV-He became a pornographer if i remember correctly....I never knew Mick McManus was for real-i thought they were all phonies....by the way Lung-thats 1 more reason to avoid Birmingham!

I loved how these guys could totally paralyze a guy just by bending his little finger or giving him a Chinese burn .

And now you guys tell me they were phonies ?

Ah say it ain't so :cray:

Yep ,for me too slimjim,finding out they were phonies was like finding out there was no Father xmas,I was devastated.....Remember the Irish Whip?......I always wondered why it never worked for me???
