@Taylorslade123: Well There are videos of him actually wrestling. Look up Big Daddy vs John Elijah for example. He could wrestle but he didn't need to. I do think he was rather good at working the crowd as they did tend to react the way he wanted them to. He was basically the British Hulk Hogan.

@Taylorslade123 you obviously dont know anything abouyt British wrestling. Big Daddy was British and European Heavyweight Champion on 2 spearate occasions in the 1960s. He also knocked out John Quinn (former 3 time world heavyweight champion) and Big Jim Harris (Kamala in the WWF who beat Hulk Hogan). As for Davey Boy Smith being the best in history, you are an idiot, have you not heard of Bert Assirati, the best English Heavyweight of all time. Davey won a promotional belt which means nowt

[Taylorslade123]

@richtea1971 ....You don't have to be a great technical wrestler to be the top man and top draw in the territory or promotion, take Hulk Hogan for instance, not a great technician, but he was a master at working the crowd and controlling their emotions, which is the main reasons he was so sucessful, Big Daddy had no such qualities. The best in british history from an all-round view including popularity was and always will be Davey Boy Smith. End of.

[Taylorslade123]

@richtea1971 He was an embarrassment to British Wrestling. Yes, I know he's dead but I'm being honest. He had absolutely ZERO ring craft and would have others do the vast majority of the work for him and then he would give the belly flop and that was the match ended. WOS showcased some of the best wrestlers in history like the Dynamite Kid, Marc Rocco, Johnny Saint, Tiger Mask (Sammy lee), Bret and Owen Hart, Keiichi Yamada (Jushin Liger) etc etc.....
