Big Daddy & Jim Moser vs Giant Haystacks & Bill Bromley

Derby 1982.

[@robbryant52]

Big daddy and his brother craptree promotions killed off TV wrestling it was a circus in the end

[@alwaysright429]

Once again, the Craptrees and their script having Haystacks running scared of Daddy. It became pathetic. Haystacks could have destroyed Daddy without a script

[@jlrosiefan9848]

Funniest moment when Moser and Bromley were working each other. Haystacks: "Pull his arm off!" Big Daddy: "I'll pull your arm off!"

[@garethbramley1]

Haystacks was NOT Luke McMasters - that was one of his other wrestling names. I guess we can blame Kent Walton for everyone else thinking this. His real name was Martin Duane. There's a good chance I watched this as I used to go to The Assembly rooms, Derby every month to watch the wrestling. No idea where I would have sat but too poor quality to spot me anyway.

Martin Ruane actually

11 stone man, being inserted, into the ground by a 40 stone man. When is that ever fair.

[@jacksugden8190]

Referee was bloody useless.

[@garethbramley1]

Emile Poilve - like Jeff Kaye - neither use nor ornament.

[@josephmurrill8530]

Giant Haystacks was afraid of Big Daddy. Big Daddy showed no wrestling skills..... Only stomach butts.

[@garfield2279]

Joseph Murrill He can do it properly search for Big Daddy v John Elijah

[@honoredutrey]

Nobody was afraid of anybody.It's not a competition.Wrestlers work together to put on a show to excite tha audience.

[@alwaysright429]

Giant Haystacks could have beaten Big Daddy to a Pulp had it not been for the stupid scripts that saw Haystacks 'running scared' every time he was in the ring with Daddy. Yeah, it was a show where wrestlers worked together but it all became about Big Daddy in the end and it ultimately killed off wrestling.

[@jaymike3302]

Great match! Big Daddy comes through in the clutch.

[@intrepolo]

This is quite atrocious!

[@GingerGeorge-iy2ui]

It's not that good!

[@richardsharpe2966]

From what I can remember The Big Daddy Show was scrapped at the last minute does anyone know why it happened would like to know please

Health reasons

[@gilliantregear1268]

​thought so, wasn't due to him having several strokes?

[@abhudson14]

I was there

[@garethbramley1]

Me too - somewhere!

[@gurdeepbenning748]

Look closer Big Daddy seems unwell in the match.

[@wez4517]

He was always unwell, no one can be that big, run around the ring and not have problems. At the end you can see Crabtree not celebrating the win after that powerslam - i should imagine he probably winded himself massively!
