[@stephenbennett9139]

Jimmy breaks was a cheat and a dirty wrestler. Who cheated to win bouts.

[@accies442]

have you got the McMichael v breaks match?

[@arthurpsycho4214]

Jim Mclaren Yes, coming your way

[@goodbridg]

Arthur Psycho the jim breaks special, ? what a submissiom move? he has won so many matches, with this very painfull devastating move, very clever inverted wrist lever, with lifting opponent weight on to this painfull move, I love this type of submission? its 1 of my favorits, also suspended ceiling? octpus hold is also great, zoltan boschik also has a great submission simular to octopus hold submission?

[@arthurpsycho4214]

ding bat Yeah it was an unusual and cool move. I suppose the drawback to this move would be that I can't see how you could get it on a heavier man.

[@donnaslater859]

+Arthur Psycho grasshopper was over a stone heavier,peter Bainbridge was to and Adrian street and john Naylor all held a stone plus on breaks but they all submitted to his special

[@goodbridg]

+donna slater it seems you are a big fan of jim breaks ? he got a beating against johnny saint? saint battered his nose, to much blood, this was saints revenge? have you seen the match? not for the faint hearted?

[@blaggermouth]

[@accies442]

[@arthurpsycho4214]

Jim Mclaren Some already uploaded, check back through my uploads. I don't think I have any more that isn't already on KZbin - if I come across any I will post it.

[@stephenm6100]

Arthur Psycho anymore jimmy breaks? or skull murphys?

[@patford8488]

Did Jim ever wear any other gear than those striped trunks?

[@SouthSeaSavage]

Seems a great many Brit based wrestlers went kung fu crazy back in the day.

[@arthurpsycho4214]

SouthSeaSavage The promoters certainly did. Half the wrestlers seemed to be wrestling in pajamas at one point, despite the fact that under UK rules they couldn't actually use any martial arts. Apart from Grasshopper, you had Pat Patton, Ironfist Clive Myers, Chris Adams, The Black Prince, The Amazing Kung-Fu, Pete Roberts (who dropped the gimmick quite quickly), Satoro Sayama and Akira Maeda and probably others I've forgotten about. Nagasaki came in with a samurai sword etc but I never regarded him in the same category because a supposed martial arts background was never mentioned by the commentator.

@@arthurpsycho4214 Thanks for this comment :) I've been looking for a list of every UK wrestler with kung fu gimmicks (of course I know it's not EVERYONE, but it's a lot)
