Oh god, that is embarrassing just to look at.

I think American wrestling tends to be either musclebound monsters, or high energy action, but often not both. And which side of the line it falls on is heavily influenced by how personally involved Vince McMahon is.

I think it falls more on "how old is the wrestler".

Yup.

Not gonna lie - probably haven't watched American pro wrestling since the turn of the century, but I do have some fond memories of some very large men doing some very improbable acrobatics while possibly someone on the side of the ring prepared to throw a chair.

Somehow I can't picture either of the two British wrestlers pictured above pulling off a diving moonsault.

Their signature move was the belly bump, where they "ran" at each other and bounced themselves off the opponent's belly.

Aww

That's incredibly endearing.

Back in the early 80s, my friend and I met them after a wrestling match in my town and got their autographs. Both of them were very nice and happy to chat for a bit. They then asked us what was a good restaurant in the area and went off together for dinner like two old friends who hadn't been apparently trying to kill each other 30 minutes earlier.

I love Wrestling for this exact reason lol!

Haha aw that's sweet <3

... okay, you sold me on the british wrestling, though. how does one get into that as a spectator?

(Anonymous) 2022-05-14 09:57 am (UTC)(link)
For that kind of wrestling, you'll have to invent time travel. British Wrestling used to have a regular slot on weekly sports show World of Sport, and died a slow death after World of Sport was cancelled in 1985 and WWF started airing on tv in the UK with Hulk Hogan as the top star. What also didn't help was that Big Daddy was still hogging the main event in his 50s, so younger, better wrestlers coming through usually left for Japan and North America.

The era of two giant fat blokes is long over.
