Kendo Nagasaki & Gorgeous George vs Mick McManus & Steve Logan

Tag Team time. Nice to see McMannus and Logan getting some punishment at the hands of great British heavy weight Nagasaki

[@BassSwirls]

What a load of bullocks lol....absolutely brilliant...World of Sport... I miss those days.

[@gedreek137]

Mick McManus and Steve Logan getting cheered at the beginning...who'd have thought?

[@kazallroberts]

They were natural heels and so it was jarring seeing them being cast-lighted as babyfaces.

[@IN_THIS_DAY_AND_AGE]

Nice to see the referee joining in with the acting.

[@Bhodisatvas]

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.

[@matthewevansteush6461]

respect to gorgeuos george,these were tough men.

[@agnostic47]

13:14 the moment the crowd had been waiting for.

[@honoredutrey]

Kent Walton "McManus and Logan having a conference in the corner". i.e. "What happens next Mick.Do we get disqualified or do we lose ? .I've forgotten the plot"

[@pparker768]

Finely tuned athletes

[@MegaVector2011]

Love Steve Logan.

[@suededogs9670]

Fucking mental I love it

[@pen2199]

Did they train, looks like they played darts as well

[@thomasmcclean4352]

Was there ever a day when we cheered Mick Mcmanus and Steve Logan.

[@DaviesMartinezBeats]

Wrestling used to be on World of Sport, 12:30pm on a Saturday in the UK when I was a kid...

[@liverpix]

No, it was always at 4pm !

[@DaviesMartinezBeats]

@@liverpix - 12:30pm on Central TV (in Birmingham) each Saturday, often shown from Digbeth Hall, Birmingham

[@liverpix]

@@DaviesMartinezBeatsOk, it was on at 4pm on World of Sports.

[@DaviesMartinezBeats]

@@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.

[@staceygrove5976]

Steve Logan looks a bit like Coronation Street's Jack Duckworth in his younger days.

[@thomasmcclean4352]

Excellent Referee, Max Ward.

[@thomasmcclean4352]

Pete Thornley. Was Kendo Nagasaki. What a weird coincidence, my fellow lorry driver at work is called Pete Thornley.

[@jacksugden8190]

Great fun 🤩

[@chrimorhen4585]

Not framed that good taped from a DVD.?

[@tonmisty]

Brilliant entertainment.

[@peterfenton2750]

Great stuff🤣

[@mark-shane]

2 falls or 1 submission. 😅😅😂😂

[@staceygrove5976]

Why did these wrestlers hardly ever get a bloody nose or a burst lip when someone like Nagasaki smashed them in the face?

[@SuperNeildavies]

Incredibly camp, I wonder if Kendo and George were lovers? I must read Peter Thornley's new book.

[@callummarch3970]

Neil Davies kendo is bisexuality so wouldn’t surprise me

[@descartesdonkey4291]

wrestling the snake

[@andrewwilliams7501]

No, they were not 😂

[@scottmcginn2169]

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

[@sid35gb]

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.

[@mikemartin2957]

It was at its peak in the 60s & 70s on World of Sport . & Some Tuesdays & on Mid Week Sports Special.

[@johndeacetis4707]

The power of a telegram..how much did they cost in 76 ..... ?

[@matthewevansteush6461]

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.

[@kevinjackson6387]

There was nowt gorgeous about George 😂😂😂😂😂

[@garethbramley1]

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.

[@paulanglovich6955]

Kendo Nagasaki was Japanese and he didn't wear a mask on this side of the pond

[@dieselfan7406]

Peter Thornley is from Telford England. Japan my arse!

[@alexkrycek3359]

Lol kayfabe 😊

[@georgeyarid9878]

Im' better.
