A great find Arthur. you amaze me. John Quinn a really nice guy who stayed near Rhyl for a while but tough. Mark Rocco THE best heal along McManus and Kendo. Tommy Rugby was just used by Dale Martin and Shirley.........well........ answers on a postcard.
Yes he would have a hand in writing the script. Some of it is only loosely scripted and they improvise but the falls and finishing moves are agreed and worked out, even practiced before the bout. Also heavily scripted is the offstage drama. The music, and the grudges, and the challenges.
Yes, he always landed on his hands and knees and lowered himself down. If he'd done it properly, he would have put his opponents in hospital every time. Heels used to get paid a certain amount and then extra if they agreed to be splashed by Daddy in the fight script. Danger money as it could go wrong if Daddy mistimed it.
Quinn could beat daddy blindfolded and his hands and his legs tied together he was a waste of space using his fat belly and sat on his tag rope that's why british wrestling died
Some great stuff on here from 3 of the 4 wrestlers involved. Rocco one of the best British wrestlers ever.
kent Walton, was such a great commentator, never needed anyone else.
Rococo was an excellent wrestler and an absolute gentleman
Postings, flying drop kicks, forearms,suplexes,piledrivers,public warnings...
now that is sport.
No it's fake drama scripted nonsense. Look up "kayfabe."

He was crap sitting on his tag rope using his fat belly that was not wrestling
Rollerball rocco best athlete in WOS and Big daddy best enterteiner In WOS now i understand the idea of british wrestling i love watching revpro
How would of Big Daddy fared against Goldberg? Like to see The Jackhammer on Daddy
The only good thing about Quinn was his entrance music,The Mighty Quinn by Manfred Mann
Roccoballs, take it, what Big Daddy is giving you.😂😂😂😂😅😅😅
Who's the referee for this match
Tommy Rigby had amazing capacity to absorb punishment...
Arthur this was show on Cup Final World Of Sport in 1979 is that correct
Yes. Arsenal actually managed to win that one.
Say what you want about Big Daddy he did put bums on seats when he appeared
Roccoballs, wrestler like a mad man, watch him.
Hated Big Daddy
Not only so predictable but self absorbed. I swear, he wrote the script to his bouts

The Big Daddy “splash” was shit! He goes onto his knees and then lies on his opponent - at least Quinn’s was a proper one!

Ringo, hammer Roccoballs he is a show off. Teach him a LESSON.
Say what you want, Daddy was over!
sorry 4hat should've said Tommy Rigby
big daddy always had to win didn't he?but then again he was the brother of the crabtrees.
Half brother I think I heard but yes oddly was called Crabtree
He won because it was in the script.
... same could be said of Roman Reigns, Vince's favourite...
Man in blue is that the same man with spit the dog 🐕
It's not Bob Carolgees no, but the resemblance has been noted before!
I lovely friendly guy admired by wrestlers the world over, that's Marc Rocco. Big Daddy, not so much
The old ladies where funny
Max Ward a sh*t referee
Even as a child, I never liked Big Daddy. I preferred the smaller, faster wrestlers. Big Daddy bored me.
Quinn could beat daddy blindfolded and his hands and his legs tied together he was a waste of space using his fat belly and sat on his tag rope that's why british wrestling died
Everyone thought Quinn was a big mouthed Yank, he wasn't, he was a big mouthed Canadian instead
Ward was a useless gut bucket!
