Two brilliant technical wrestlers. Thanks for sharing. My other favourite true wrestler has to be the Dynamite Kid in his early days. A couple of great matches between him and Rollerball Rocco. All great stuff. Thanks for sharing.
Awesome match, thank you for uploading. Didn't realize it was from the 70's until I looked at the description after the match. Man I've really realized recently, how overlooked British wrestling was when it came to in ring performances. They have stuff from the 70's looking modern (in a good, if not better way). First time seeing Dennison, thought he was good. Loved how aggressive Rocco was the whole match. He was even throwing kicks whilst rolling on his back.
They say Les Kellett was the hardest man in the ring, I won't argue, but I've seen Rocco land on his head and fight on, and it turned out his heart was only working at 30%, total legend and hard enough to roller skate on.
Plenty of foot stamping from Rocco to make it look like he was hurting Dennison.Plenty of grimacing from Dennison to give the impression he was being hurt.Rocco was very good at throwing himself out of the ring.
Not with all his foul moves - he'd have been thrown out of any Olympic match. Rocco couldn't win anything, by wrestling alone - against a good opponent!
I expect there would be some bleeding if someone really did get kicked in the face but it's funny how kicks that don't connect seem to hurt, bunch of wankers.

The Kid Vs Rollerball matches are awesome.

Thanks for the upload, great match!
Two quality wrestlers.
Mark Rocco had a very modern style, way ahead of his time. Tremendously skilful wrestler, and a really nice fella out of the ring, I understand.
I always wondered why we never saw two habitual rule breakers facing each other, such as Rocco v McManus for example?
McManus picked who he wrestled ?
This is exactly what british wrestling is all about even nowdays
R.I.P MARK AND ALAN
Thank,s for posting 5******..
Alan Dennison a very strong guy

Sounds like the promoters didn't bother too much with the health of their clients if Rocco's heart was so bad. Sounds like BS to me.
@@thewomble1509 he had an undiagnosed condition, retired as soon as he found out in the 1990s.
RIP Rocco
Sadly both gone now!!! Alan Dennison died after a match in Southport around 1984 Rocco this year!!
Rocco reminds me of Bob Carolgees
Before rollerblading became Bob Caroline's with spit the dog.

Good for you Alan, again out of the ring.
rehearsals paid off good match
Robert, you don't actually know what you are talking about. Off you go, there is a good boy.
To my dying day mark rocco would have won gold at OLYIMPICS Dennison would not be far behind

Not if the Dynamite Kid was around!!!!!
5:18 makes the most of the posting to make it look good for the crowd.
All fixed but great fun
I watch Rocco as a kid and now I have just realised I am heavier than him lol. Feel chubby. Good stuff though
2nd that...all good stuff!
Waste of time, to watch ROCCOBALLS wrestle. GOODNIGHT.👎👎👎👎

Not "wankers",just well organised professional wrestlers.
