A BRITISH AFFAIR

The characters that loomed largest were Big Daddy and Giant Haystacks, the pantomime good and evil of the wrestling scene. The grudge match playing out beyond the ring on Saturday morning kids shows, Saturday night family entertainment programmes and mid-week chat shows.

There have been a few attempts at reviving British wrestling back on to TV screens, but the charm, idiosyncrasy & wholly Britishness, was of a time, and at that time it was at the top of the pile.
