[@gart9680]

Brilliant! I actually got watery eyed watching this. All of a sudden I was back in my front room as a wee kid with my mum & dad watching world of sport.

[@teamblitz1990]

You cannot underestimate how Big Daddy was popular a national icon.

[@levimcglinchey5843]

That laugh when the announcer says it'll be six rounds, brilliant

Scrubber Daly - Malcolm Hardiman, a milkman from Nuneaton.

[@craiggbone]

[@mrman8541]

Who knew Big Daddy was a member of the MCC?

[@Votedjt2024]

Big daddy is huge biggest giant great wrestling

[@peterellis9374]

I get Scrubber was a big lad but he can't be that tall. He's a lot shorter than Gordon Prior the MC. Daddy doesn't look such a towering figure either.

[@NorthernWrestlingNetwork]

Daddy was around the six foot tall mark, even at this stage of his career he was a big fella. His 64-inch chest earned him a place in the Guinness Book Of Records after all. Daly wasn't towering, we meant giant more in the sense that you wouldn't want to have to pick him up!

[@NorthernWrestlingNetwork]

Also, Gordon Prior is a tall fella in his own right - eyeonwrestling.blogspot.com/2016/07/gordon-pryor-interview.html

OK British wrestling fans, explain the appeal of this guy? I just don't get it.

[@Rorshach1004]

He was a personification of John Bull, and the kids loved him.

[@cdwattie]

he was bigger than hogan in his day he always nearly took a child in a wheelchair to the ring and everyone loved him sure it might have only been about 2 minutes or wrestling then splash its all over but people bought into it. they said that he didnt really like the kids dont know if its true

[@jrbr549]

I guess all you have to do is "get over." I never understood the appeal of Dusty Rhodes either.

[@Rorshach1004]

@@jrbr549 Indeed. Plus, times change, so looking back at what used to work can be confusing to modern eyes.

[@NorthernWrestlingNetwork]

At one point, Big Daddy held the official record for the World's largest chest (64") he was also a former soldier and professional rugby player. Despite being a big fella, he feuded with an unstoppable 6'11" 600+lbs giant for maybe 15 years and won far more often than he lost.
