Wrestling was a big thing back in the day. Not that modern AmericanWWF fake pish with it's big arenas and Gangsta Rap Razamatazz, but fat men who looked like your dad, in tight leotards giving each other "dubbins to the heid".
We spent many a happy hour glued to World of Sport and pouring over wrestling magazines. Then it was out to the back green to try out Boston crabs, backbreakers, step over toe holds and, of course, ear pulling.
No-one got any real doings, that is until we went home with stretched or ripped t-shirts and irremovable grass stains on the knees of our jeans. That is when you had to duck and weave for real.
Anyway sit back, spark up your cork pipe and enjoy a few classis moments courtesy of YouTube.

I am glad that i didn't have to clean out Giant Haystacks cage! But I did enjoy a watch of the old wrestling. I was fair keen on Kendo though, the unmasking was a real treat.
The best bit as someone commented on youtube was that during the build up to Kendo's inveiling, the crowd are shouting "just get on with it".
