Once a year, I go through a phase of binging on British pro-wrestling. Quite some time ago, I decided to create a unique video that could introduce others into this distinct product. British pro-wrestling, specifically the variety that aired on ITV's "World of Sport"from 1965 through 1988, takes some time to get used to and appreciate. The rounds, the rules, the style and all make it as different from American pro-wrestling as lucha libre is. I think most anyone can enjoy a Johnny Saint match for his unbelievable "escapological" style, many could enjoy familiar faces like the Dynamite Kid or Fit Finlay and some might be curious about Big Daddy and Giant Haystacks. There is a great deal more depth however.
In these videos, I attempt to share the history, the rounds, the rules, the weight class system and the basics of the style.
