I love the announcer putting on his "posh" voice...and the way that Krakow poland was still considered part of the "exotic east" at this time....hence the fancy robe and bald head...lol
Never saw a Kellett match that didn't start with him saying..."No...no no...no"...hehehehehe
This is hilarity at it's finest. My dad always told me about Les Kellett and I feel so gratified now that I have been able to watch some of the matches that he was in.
W.ho was the referee in this contest? I think it is Bernard Murray {a wrestler of the Les Kellet mould, who also larked about in the ring}. Anyone confirm this?
@tigerboy1966 Yep, thats the word on him. All the wrestlers said that one of the hardest things in their profession, was having to wrestle against kellet when he had had a bad day. Aparently he could hold his hands on hot radiators for a lenghty time. I never realised he was in his 50's during the 70's.
Les was one of the best and a lot of people forget because of jokey wrestling style just what a skilled wrestler he was and one of the toughest men in the wrestling business at that time. He was also a great nurture of new talent and really looked for a lot of young wrestlers when a lot of the more experienced wrestlers around at the time were out to destroy the new talent coming through. Thank you Les.

Wow, for Kellet to still have been wrestling with the best of them at his age, he must have been hard.

FHM did an article on Les once but they had to base it all on hearsay because he was a recluse who didnt show up for the interview.

THIS is wrestling. The ability to make a crowd react without some stupid gimmick.

Kellett was 57 years old here. Great showman. Apparently, he was, out of the ring, the hardest, nastiest bastard in the business.
