Big Daddy mistiming his double elbow move on Mal Kirk there. If I remember correctly, the double elbow (double trouble) was used more to pin opponents than K.O. them pre 1979.
The days of the tag team wrestlering was just crazy as very unfair as one contestant got bashed up in opposite corner that just isn't fair and equal these matches should have two referees
Interesting to see that @ 35 seconds Big Daddy splashed KKK - note always landing his feet before going down - but was able to get up very quickly and out of the ring. Pretty much all the other times it would be a successful move.
Wow nobody mentions Big Daddy throwing a 350 pound man over his shoulders with ease. At 9:11 Yet everyone tteats Brock Lesnar doing that as some amazing achievement while at the same time seemingly struggling breaking sweet... Hmm does this show Shirley Crabtree was quite significantly stronger than Brock Lesnar?😂😂
Any idea how British wrestling faded and almost died? That useless tub of lard Shirley Crabtree made it totally unbelievable. A decent lightweight would beat him in a real shoot.
Not quite. Kirk had a fatal heart attack during a match with Daddy in 1987. He had a heart condition and you can see from his build that he wasn't the healthiest middle aged man. However wrestling daddy probably didn't help. He was in his early 50s so far too young. At the time daddy retained kayfabe when talking about it which seems bad now buts it's what was done at the time. He was also criticised for wrestling the next day however again we still see today in wwe that the show never stops.
This match is a better match than any Young Bucks match
big guts / beefy arses , seein whose softens up first … 👊🏼
Reverse splash on "King Kong Kirk" is really impressive.
The days when the whole family sat in front of the black & white tv set
For all Daddy gets criticised, he picked up and slammed Kirk. He had some strength.
How small those UK rings were back then.
*Gunboat* Harris! Top moniker.
Referee! Oh my God! You should have eyes all over you to see what's going on. Ryan touched Big Daddy's hand to come in and you stopped him WHY? WHY?
Classic stuff.

Ring looks minute.

It looked like Big Daddy's partner had cost him the match there. But luckily he got the tag in and Bid Daddy sorted them out. Close though.
hmm well it was another fantastic match as is always.

@@arthurpsycho4214 yup they dragged Owen Hart out and kept the show going
@@arthurpsycho4214 By 1987 Kirk had gained a lot weight too. Here he looks relatively streamlined.
