Wasn't sure where this took place - saw a comment asking whether it was WWWF or Pittsburgh. I knew it wasn't WWWF because they used the old Washington DC Armory and had the unmistakable Ray Morgan on commentary. Pittsburgh had "Chilly" Billy Cardille. You can hear some of the people's voices in the audience and hear the Aussie accents.
yes this farce they call "sports entertainment" today need to take lessons from clips like this and real athletes like Bruno Sammartinno. But know one cares anymore.
This was World Championship Wrestling in Australia. George Lackey was a local job boy and the ref is Mike Hunt, who was Mr. Australia. The commentator is jack Little - he came to Australia and stayed.
luv it when Lackey works Denucci's hairy gut... D takes it like a MAN!

oldozbear is right.
George was an Australian-Latvian. His Latvian surname was Lacis which translated is bear, dunno why he anglicized it to subservient "lackey".
Don't need to make more mention of Mike Hunt.

DD wasn't the greatest but he was a likable character. One of the only babyfaces I cheered for as a young lad.
