I saw Kendo Nagasaki live at the Elephant and Castle in London in the early 1990s, with William Regal performing earlier in the card, good memories, Kendo is a legend!
I used to go with my Dad to The Manor Place Baths just 1/2 mile from The Elephant in The Mid 1960s to see "Doctor Death" another masked, unbeaten wretler. It turned out that he was Paul Lincoln who was a Wrestling Promotor. lol Saw Juso Al Hayes who went to The USA and appeared as Alfred Lord Hayes and The Roclk's Grandad:Peter Maivia and mamy others for 3 years or so.
Many of the wrestlers would travel to and from the venues together and would go for a beer after the "fights". Except for Nagasaki, who maintained his mystique for decades afterwards.
@@benp5528 That's why he was always in tag matches -it was either that or have the bouts end in 60-90 secs (which is what happened with his few 1980s single bouts.) Having a tag partner do all the getting in trouble stretched bouts out to up to 10 min.
Yes he was in a tag team with Giant Haystacks for a while. Look for Big Daddy & Giant Haystacks v Tibor Szacaks & Steve Veidor, it is on this website. @@christophercleary6780
it wasn't quite a face turn (should be "blue eye" turn for the UK anyway) - he tended to alternate a bit between goody and baddy, he had four matches as a heel in early '76 -win over the Jamaica Kid, DQ loss to Steve Veidor and he teamed with Stax to split the pair of matches with Veidor and Tibor Szacazs that Lance mentioned.
Another very interesting book is "You grunt & I'll groan" by Jackie Pallo.He describes in in great detail how various throws and holds are executed to avoid causing any pain or dicomfort etc.
Kendo could easily better most lardy TV men in the ring, but the Snake Pit proper wrestlers often equalled his skill set. Read Kendo's book, an insight into those Saturday afternoons on the telly. Really interesting man.
he was a Snakepit man himself. There's a quasi-shoot interview with Billy Robinson in The Ring (the American boxing magazine which used to do the odd wrestling story) in 1971 where Billy speaks positively of Kendo - says he's not quite in the same league of (catch) wrestlers as people like himself and Billy Joyce, but pretty darn good even so.
I worked for Peter Thornley at Moorcourt Hall is a sickering abuser of young boys. His manager Lloyd Ryan use to deliver him 2 or 3 at a time, he would have them collected in the early hours so the care staff would not see them. Anyone who spoke of it or reported it to the police lost there job and was never seen again. He had a string of boyfriends at least 2 of them had Aids, when they were getting on in years he would trade them in for a younger one yet keep them in reserve for sex parties. His current one Lawrence is 35 years younger, Thornley is a sick monster makes Jimmy Savile and Rolf Harris look respectable in comparasion.
I remember this live you actually felt sorry for kendo having his face exposed. It seemed a very cruel thing to do then.looking back it was entertainment. We was all talking about how he looked and his eyes at school on monday.fond memories

Kendo Nagasaki is 6' 2" tall. Big Daddy is supposedly 6' 6" tall. Yet, you clearly see multiple times in this video that Kendo Nagasaki is actually taller than Big Daddy. When Big Daddy is wrestling Giant Haystacks who is billed as standing 6' 11" tall, it is believable that Big Daddy might by 6' 6" tall. But, after watching this video I suspect Big Daddy is no more than 6' 1" or 6' 2" tall and Giant Haystacks is probably more about 6' 7" tall.
Yep, Haystacks, Martin or Luke, I've stood next to him and 6' 7" is about the mark, at the time it wasn't enjoyable watching him, he clearly was an unwell man, earning a wage the only the way he could...
Kendo Nagasaki, real name Pete Thornley from Telford, England, probably never been to Japan in his life but his invented ring character was hugely entertaining and probably the best of them all. Those guys were all good pals with each other, it was all pure theatre, all staged and worked out in advance, then they would go and have a pint together afterwards....happy days, always great fun to watch on a Saturday afternoon.
Oh dear, I wasn't standing in quite the right place where we rehearsed... I'll just run over to the side of the ring and jump over the ropes and these morons will believe you threw me, OK?

My late aunty was a mad wrestling fan. She would sit on the front row and always have a go at the "baddy" whoever they were Mick McManus or Jackie Pallo. If they fell out of the ring near her she would hit them with her handbag. All good entertaining fun.

Really with a name like Peter Thornley I beg to differ plus watching him on Sky News coming out as bisexual and helping The. Lee Rigby charity you can hear him talk like an English Man
I was a big Kendo Nagasaki fan in my teens in the 70s but let's face it. It wasn't real. Both of them put together wouldn't have lasted 3 minutes against George Foreman. Mind you, at least they made a good pretence of making it all look real in those days. With the American stylle wrestling these days, I think they've stopped pretending.
In the sixties he wrestled as "The Battling Guardsman", having served in the Coldstream Guards some years before. At that time he was a pretty good wrestler and had a very good physique, weighing around 17 stone (238lb).

I bet the nearest Nagasaki got to Japan was his nearest Japanese restaurant. Of course Big Daddy wasn't as big as he later was because if he had have been Daddy could have beat him in a few minutes
Me, my dad and my grandad used to watch wrestling every Saturday afternoon. Their armchairs used to creak when a forearm smash was put in, especially if the baddie was getting hit. I watched an old one a few days ago (again) Les Kellett v Brian Aris (Brian Glover) great fun. Dad took me to East ham Granada once and Steve Logan was on the card. They don't look that big in real life because my dad was 6-4 and 23 stones and grandad was 5-11 and 17 stones. I used to ask them 'Could you beat him Grandad (whoever it was, Pallo, McManus Logan etc) and he would make the motion of snapping something in half and I used to laugh at that. Dad would say 'I 'd tie him in knots' . Me and my sibling were allowed to wrestle in the garden and I remained undefeated. Mind you, I was 22 months older than her.
They both passed away before American wrestling got to our screens. I never had Sky but in the tower block I lived in every flat got Sky for a year on a free trial. Summer Slam that year had The Ultimate Warrior beating Hulk Hogan. I watched WWE for a few years, but now no Sky again so I'm an AEW fan on ITV now. Some nice looking ladies on there as well.

Big daddy was to wrestling, what Julian clary was to masculinity
I was at this evening - it was the first live wrestling bout I'd ever been to, so I was fortunate to see this piece of the sport's history!
Kendo was a wrestler whilst daddy was a tub of guts
Kendo and Big Daddy what a bout and unmasking,Kendo Nagaski was a Wrestler and half....😊
The most surprising thing about this is not the fact the Kendo Nagasaki was unmasked but that big daddy was mobile and could actually move at speed

Probably the most athletic I've ever seen Big Daddy, his matches usually lasted no more than 5 minutes.
That was near to the end of his career I think you’ll find.

Summer Slam that year had The Ultimate Warrior beating Hulk Hogan. I watched WWE for a few years, but now no Sky again so I'm an AEW fan on ITV now. Some nice looking ladies on there as well.

A man called Shirley,his parents must have disliked him
All the wrestlers were good friends outside the ring it was a travelling show Kendo said this ie Peter Thornley
I remember Masambula and Jackie Pallo.
He even had yellow face makeup on 😁😂
It makes a change to see Daddy allowing his opponent to get some offense in !
At 4:00, the ref says "I told you to break Peter !". Oops !
Opponents regularly did get offence against him until 1979 when Max finally made him indestructible.
Yes cos Saggyknackers name was Peter Thornley
@@thirtyfoursevenzero are you one of those l00nies from Moorcroft Hall by any chance?
anyway, it actually boosts Kayfabe - gives the impression that the match is real even if Kendo's gimmick isn't.

All big daddy had to do was to sit on his head for a minute and the game is won
