Kenny Miller at WWE Live


Recommended Posts

My Grandpo used to take me to the wrestling when I was young. Then it was Mick McManus Kendo Nagasaki George Kidd, Big Daddy, Giant Haystacks to name a few. I found the British wrestling better because there was actually a bit of wrestling and not all show. In those days the wrestling was on the ITV every Saturday afternoon. Strange it seemed to disappear all of a sudden until the yank stuff raised it's head.

I've loved it since I was a boy but never saw it live. Have to say it was a great night and a really good family atmosphere.

 

They put on a great show

The "yank" stuff was around before Big Daddy and Giant Haystacks, you just didn't hear of it as it wasn't a TV phenomenon back then.

 

The US wrestling is every bit as technical - actually, no, MORE technical than any of the guys you mention above. There have been many Olympic wrestlers who appear in WWE, something I don't believe Haystacks or Big Daddy could lay claim to.
