I came across this old match by happenstance. It's not brilliant wrestling, but the story telling is exponentially better than the garbage you see today on the WWE. They actually sold moves back then and made you believe in the match up.

Les Kellet a legend of British Wrestling. My father always talks of the great Kellet as one of his favourite wrestlers. Along with another legend Bert Royal.

Such camp fun I watched with my screeching granny many many Saturday afternoons ago

Bring it back!

I wonder...did a wrestler like Bobby Barnes choose to be a heel, or was it thrust upon him because of the circumstances of the time and social attitudes of the day?!

Although I remember a lot of ITV wrestling first time round, it was 1990s WWF that got me into wrestling. But now I look back, it's as though something's forgotten about classic wrestling.

Kellett's a wrestling saint.

Oh I do beg UK wrestling fans to give local indy groups a chance. You may be surprised how many keep to the old days.

Since becoming a fan of wrestling in around 1990 my Dad has always told me about Les Kellett and how he was my dad's personal favourite... I can see why. This is superb, thank you for posting :)

I see, so you're not just prejudiced but you're an ingrate as well.

@Lester1Beck

That's really ironic considering I uploaded the video and I'm American.
