Thanks for posting, as always, Arthur - hugely appreciated. Massively skilful wrestling, but for my taste, just a bit safe and rehearsed. Prefer punishment of a single body part and a couple of nasty submissions to finish....preferably involving a Boston or two. :-) Thanks once again.
Being a pedant here! During commentary, Kent Walton says it's from "The Castle Leisure Centre, Bury." The broadcast date is 28 Feb 1981 (going by the Latest Scores!).
Good point. Any dates i mention are recording dates since I'm far more interested to know when the match actually happened than when it aired (usually around a month later ) but I must have mixed the venues up. Even Kent couldn't have had that many G&Ts before the taping that he didn't know where he was.
I wish I could up vote this twice. Such a brilliant match and a million times ahead of anything the WWF were doing at the time.
Thanks for the upload, really good technical match. Like how it was almost constant exchanges of pinning techniques and combinations.
Absolutely love this man excellent wrestler true gentleman

How old was Jonny Saint. & Steve grey then wrestling?
@@wrestlem8 Saint was 39 in this match. Not sure about Grey but probably early 30s. He debuted in 1970.
@@JNLister would loved to have wrestled with either just good technique wrestlers
