World Of Sport - Fit Finlay vs Danny Collins

[joemontjapan]

Nice mismatch. Danny takes a good beating through most of the match -- and suffers nicely for us. That brutal traps claw after 7:40 leaves the kid writhing in pain, with his pecs wide open and vulnerable.

That hat is stylin!

The first ever wrestling match i saw was Fit Finlay vs Danny Collins on a Mick Mcmanus world of wrestling VHS tape.

[bladestormviking]

Finlay looks like eddie guererro.

i watched this match nearly 20 years ago. danny was still growing but both his physique and performnce show he would become one of the most exciting most popular wrestlers. vintage finlay. danny sells the relentless punishment beautifully. quintessential classic storyline.

@japanpro1 Your comment strikes a chord with me: I too watched this 20 or so years ago, and remember it well. Danny Collins was always good to watch, from his earliest days as a teenage pro wrestler. Finlay brought a particular blend of showmanship (mean heel with real wrestling ability) to the ring which I always enjoyed, again from his very early days.

like many british pro wrestlers, danny collines debuted at age 16. he went on to develop more than an impressive physique. finlay was even then, before his going to wwe, a consummate heel. collins' trapezius muscles were a frequent target.

[manjifanhism]

Nice Tombstone piledriver.

I like how Kent Walton is so disgusted at this mismatch. To listen to him, Danny Collins would have been better off fighting Finaly's wife?!

[AlexDCl]

I don't think he appreciated catchweight contests much.

[dmpcornwall]

Collins and Finlay had some great matches in the late 80s. I saw Danny beat Finlay at Falmouth's Princess Pavilion in 1989. They wrestled there again, for Finlay's title that summer and Finlay won on that occasion.

Finlay looks like an 80's Irish street pimp in that hat, 5 stars!

[anabolic79]

wow thats a different look for Finlay lol

[00JTM]

Yeah but he is still the fighting Irish Bastard!

[paulypud]

This was on TV on 1st February 1986, televised at Cleckheaton.
