@@liverpix - In hindsight, I think you might be correct. I used to watch it on Worldwide Sport as well and you have corrected my alcohol and drug-torn memory... Thank you.
Thornley came out and said that he knew George had a soft spot for him, but no, they never hooked up. He did look after George in his final days though, despite the stigma that went along with AIDS in the 1980s
Nobody liked Kendo - must have been because of Georgous George - I saw him wrestle a couple of times and he was truly hopeless. Famous and USELESS manager! Annoyingly this broadcast has been 'zoomed' to fit w/s so only half the credits are visible and heads are missing on close up - you get this all the time on TV these days. Irritating.
We watchex this on a black and white tv,itwas anarchic,chaotic I never understood it,but the crowd seemed to be in on it,just felt so distant from it,there is a lot mre to this than meets the eye,It all nonsense but by saying this youre part of the plot,lighten up.
What a load of bullocks lol....absolutely brilliant...World of Sport... I miss those days.
Mick McManus and Steve Logan getting cheered at the beginning...who'd have thought?
They were natural heels and so it was jarring seeing them being cast-lighted as babyfaces.
13:14 the moment the crowd had been waiting for.
It is insane how long these nonsense matches went on but my god they were so entertaining as a kid, life and death stuff lol.
respect to gorgeuos george,these were tough men.
Nice to see the referee joining in with the acting.

Finely tuned athletes
Love Steve Logan.
Fucking mental I love it
Did they train, looks like they played darts as well
Wrestling used to be on World of Sport, 12:30pm on a Saturday in the UK when I was a kid...
No, it was always at 4pm !
@@liverpix - 12:30pm on Central TV (in Birmingham) each Saturday, often shown from Digbeth Hall, Birmingham
@@DaviesMartinezBeatsOk, it was on at 4pm on World of Sports.

Was there ever a day when we cheered Mick Mcmanus and Steve Logan.
Excellent Referee, Max Ward.
Steve Logan looks a bit like Coronation Street's Jack Duckworth in his younger days.
Great fun 🤩
Pete Thornley. Was Kendo Nagasaki.
What a weird coincidence, my fellow lorry driver at work is called Pete Thornley.
Not framed that good taped from a DVD.?
Great stuff🤣
Brilliant entertainment.
2 falls or 1 submission. 😅😅😂😂
Incredibly camp, I wonder if Kendo and George were lovers? I must read Peter Thornley's new book.
Neil Davies kendo is bisexuality so wouldn’t surprise me
wrestling the snake
No, they were not 😂

So Saturday afternoon entertainment in the 80’s was a couple of blokes in their pants fighting a bloke in a gimp mask and his err well who knows.
It was at its peak in the 60s & 70s on World of Sport . & Some Tuesdays & on Mid Week Sports Special.

Why did these wrestlers hardly ever get a bloody nose or a burst lip when someone like Nagasaki smashed them in the face?
The power of a telegram..how much did they cost in 76 ..... ?
