Although this match was cut to f, you can see where the US influence on British wrestling started to come in - around this time we started to get WWF programming on satellite TV, then all of a sudden, rulebreaking, brawling outside the ring, weapon use, blood etc all started to creep in to the British wrestling scene and become more entertainment than sport
Rocco was MAD, MAD, MAD. He's got the right headband on. Jones was one of the best. I used the love his bouts with Dave Finlay, not this *wat (Rocco) - never saw him stick to the rules once. He was a complete bastard. He should have stayed in Tenerife. So it took ITV 2 months to show this bout??? It went off air in 88 I think so this must have been one of the last few bouts. I remember seeing this at the time - Rocco hated retaliation.
Referees are supposed to be a part of the show...'missing' some of the heels rule-breaking, allowing the heel to much lee-way... but this ref is truly appalling. The wrestlers are completely ignoring him. Useless at the job... I don't mean keeping the fight fair and enforcing any punishments, he is rubbish at his character.
No idea what the fool is talking about horrible untrue rumour to spread.. Mark was a great husband to his wife Anne and a good father to his two boys. He died about a year ago and is missed by many. An absolute gent and a great wrestler and showman. For anyone stupid enough to believe his ring character was real I really have no words!
Miss my dad going to see this at my local hall with dad RIP Dad and Mark Rocco😢
Rip British wrestling legend 🙏🏽

RIP. mark rocco. Rest.🙏🏻👊
RIP Rollerball Rocco - one of the very best!
I think they were good friends outside the Ring.
Both absolutely excellent wrestlers.

Classic tv wrestling
Pity so many bits missing from that contest.

It was great entertainment 👍👍
No replay for the first fall - so we don't get to see it! In fact, we miss ALL the action.
The very best of british from 2 titans of the ring...oh the memories...
Wrestle Me brought me here.
I would believe Marty if he said anything he is a dam good wrestler
the best bits
First fall missing!
Referee's are to quiet and allow Roccoballs to do it
…..and the second fall!!
Kent you talk a load of bill hooks.
I get the feeling he was a 'Rocco' fan!
Bits missing watching it.
There's about a minute edited out as for some reason CZcams thinks it is WWE footage and automatically takes the video down.
Look at Marko Roller behaviour he knows he is USELESS next to Marty
How big is the referee's bow tie ????
🤣🤣🤣
Looks like one that spins round..
Disqualify Roccoballs for doing what did.
Blade used again
This is when UK wrestling got as stupid as American wrestling, the begging of the end so sad.
Don't forget before everyone gets too excited, these two wrestlers arrived in the same car.
oh my god wrestlings fake? you must be the first person to ever realise this. you truly are a genius well done.
Pay attention to Alan for breaking news on Santa Claus, the Tooth Fairy and the competence of Liz Truss.
Rocco was the best
Wonder he don't see two opponent's 😀
Rocco was a bully and a cheat at one point he beat his wife up, real hard man ……..NOT
No he didn’t.
@@frank290862 I think he meant Big Daddy!!
