How they made a fat old man the biggest thing in british wrestling was beyond me! The 1st time Grandstand aired american wresting i was hooked, rippling guys using raw power moves made Crabtree and co look like dummies.

[looniechewnz]

He was such a big star because his 2 brothers made him one! Max Crabtree was the most powerful man in Wrestling promotions & what he said went!

[cdwattie]

at 2.35 kendo without his mask and it is him u can tell if u ever seen him with out his mask on

[looniechewnz]

Yes you're right it is him. I can't understand why some people think it isn't him. Maybe they also think he is a Japanese Samurai Warrior also! Strange to think that people still believe Kendo really is a mystery man of some sort!

I wasn't talking about wrestling skills, though; I was talking more about the fact that the Crabtrees pushed a guy who was clearly not good enough to stay at the top, and never put on any matches that warranted such a push. Certainly, lack of ability to create new stars was one of the main problems, but it's largely tied in with the fact that they were never willing to let anyone go over Daddy.

in all due respect i don't think putting wrestling skills into the arguement is good as that stuff has little to do with the wrestling business. british wrestling just had trouble making new-stars i think blaming just one thing tho like the crabtrees is short sighted although they may have been unwilling to put ppl over. think it was a number of things like getting thrown off the Tv that effectively killed it. and when wwf came to britian the old men in swimming trunks didn't have a hope.
