Yeah British wrestling always had its own unique style which was completely different to what the WWF/E did, to what WCW did, to what New Japan did, to what Mexican lucha libre feds did, and so on. There is currently no British wrestling company that does British style wrestling, like the heydays of World of Sport in the UK. Instead, in all the British wrestling companies that currently exist, they all seem to do Ring of Honor style indie wrestling, which is distinctly not British. Probably because every good British wrestler has wrestled in ROH at some point anyway. And that's perfectly fine, it's a good and entertaining type of wrestling too just like British style wrestling is and WWE style wrestling is. But it's just a shame that the British style of wrestling has completely died out and it's extremely doubtful that it'll ever get revived, because it's so alien to what every current British wrestler knows how to do.

@ofs825 жыл бұрын
@@PlayboiCommie Even then it was pretty cringeworthy. The other stuff that WOS had to offer like Johnny Saint, Fit Finlay, Rollerball Mark Rocco et al had some semblance of a genuine athletic competition. Daddy and Haystacks were more about the freak show. You can no more use a Big Daddy match to judge what British wrestling was about in the 80s than you can use the Fingerpoke of Doom stuff to judge what American wrestling in the late 90s was about - this was when British wrestling started to decline, once the novelty had worn off from the Daddy/Haystacks stuff and they were too old/immobile to be remotely convincing anymore, and it took away from the much stronger stuff elsewhere on the card. People like Will Ospreay and Zack Sabre Jr have huge influence from the WOS stuff, but it's the stuff like Johnny Saint. Just as late 90s WCW still had great stuff like the Guerrero/Mysterio matches, Malenko and Jericho in the mid-card and so on, but the main events included some hokey shit like Hogan/Warrior II, the super heavyweights in the UK scene were a special attraction full of 2-3 minute matches of, really, nonsense compared to the technical undercard.

You can see why do many other wrestlers hated Daddy. He was the face of the sport across the country, but couldn't work at all. Three shoulder charges, an Irish whip and he's done. Biggest payday for not working at all. Meanwhile guys lower down the card were working their asses off and delivering brilliance for far less pay. I know wrestling doesn't pay on who the best workers always are, but at least Hogan took a bump every now and then.

Ok, thank you for replying. What I meant was the fact that at this point he was too old. I agree that he didn,t need to wrestle, much like Hogan rarely did suplex and abdominal stretch like early 80,s Japan. In those days, pro wrestlers came from amateur and I believe in UK catch as catch can and hooking background, so everyone could wrestle. Not like former football players and bodybuilders who just want to be on TV. I agree with your statement, he could wrestle but didn,t need to.
