An interesting little chat between 3 legends of the WOS 4pm Saturday Afternoon Slot - Banger Walsh, Rollerball Rocco and Mick McManus hosted by Gary Newbon
Bought tears to my eyes. Lovely gentlemen as we're all the wrestler s. Grew up watching them on Saturday afternoon. Thank you all of you for giving me me so much entertainment. Watched all of you many times at the Queen's hall Derby Monday night's. God bless you all.👍
Rocco being very old school was still in the mindset of protecting the business. Kayfabe was installed in them to keep outsiders away. Exposing it would of killed them. With the advent of the internet and Vincent McMahon coming out and declaring it entertainment changed everything. Pro Wrestling has been a work all the way back to the 1920s But was portrayed as a legitimate contest between personalities who you were pre disposed to either love or hate That's how they sold tickets. Total respect to Rocco for upholding his beliefs, despite the curtain being lifted many years prior.

Rocco was the most agile wrestler I ever saw. His matches were always worth watching especially with Marty Jones. Superb talent.
These guys were stars, great entertainment, watched by all the family. Legends all.
All 3 of them are gone now , But all 3 were great in the ring

Excellent insight into the business for wrestling fans - some very funny stories!
A brilliant interview....just a pity about the breaks in the transmission.
Fantastic story's.
loved the baddies best. Such as Rocco, Fit Finlay and McManus
RIP Mark Hussey (Rocco) 11/05/51 to 30/07/20.
What a great wrestler mark was. A real technician in the ring, & one fine man.
@@stephenmurphy4809 Blimey I didn't know he'd died. RIP Mark Rocco! Always great to watch
Such a shame , didnt he also wrestle as black tiger in japan ?
They all loved the lime light as would be actors "with pain" nice to see them as real people.
As Peter(Kendo) said a few years ago.." I suppose you all know that it's a show"!.
Absolute Gold.
Brilliant Interview
Both Bobby Barnes and Mark Rocco said they believed it was real fighting and if it wasn't, then no one had told them?🙏
Thanks for another great upload
Glad you enjoyed it
loved watching the wrestling i respect all three of them but what has marc rocco got to hide when he trys to stop tony walsh at 42.00 or there abouts

@@RagingBallHighWycombe but why still keep tight lipped after it was over it’s not like it was going to harm there careers
