To all wrestling fans and wrestlers im trying to track down videos and photos of my dad referee pete "tugboat" O'brien from the Lincolnshire area im hoping to produce a slide show memorial for his upcoming memorial so any help or assistance would be warmly received
this was a pitiful fix (I know they all were) it was so friggin obvious that Roach was the best here , the other chicken shits wouldn't even get in the ring against him , shameful . Why on earth wouldn't Bombers tag mates tag him when they were getting slaughtered & he was right next to them holding his hand out . So obvious who was going to win . Was funny & enjoyable though
@martinworld7214 of course it was obvious who was going to win. That was arranged beforehand. Just like now and just like always. But in those days they still tried to pretend it was all real. These days, I think they've stopped even pretending.
Scrubber Daly should of called himself mini Haystacks, the baddies were always my favourites, especially Giant haystacks (who I met and really was a GIANT, I'm 6.4 and only came upto his shoulders) I used to like Wild Angus aswell
@74 torino In later life he had bad posture and stood 6.8 because he stooped but early on he was definitely 6.11, he was in the Guinness book of record also if you watch his match against Gywn Davies from around 1976/77 Gywn Davies is 6.5 and Haystacks is easily a head taller which would be easily 5-6 inches hence 6.11
Quite easily. Nobody had access to WWF in the UK until around 1989, and even then Sky TV (the sole provider) was notoriously expensive and not everybody could afford it. British Professional Wrestling had been doing the rounds for years, entertaining the masses up and down the country since 1920. News and tapings from the USA were a trickle at best, drips at worst, so it was all we knew. I used to watch World Of Sport as a kid, then WCW when it aired VERY late at night (definitely after 01:00) and my dad would tape it for me, then occasionally WWF when I had the opportunity (we never had satellite). Oddly, I always preferred the early WCW to the cartoonish characters of the WWF in the 90s.
Haystacks worked on a few of my promotions in the late 80's. if he said it was Monday, it was bloody monday.
Wasn't he Irish? So surely it was bloody Sunday?
My brother and I used to watch this every Saturday, the best part on the Saturday sports shows.
quite right
Me too
"here come wrestler Elijah, paleontologist taxi driver" does anyone know anyone with a more eclectic set of professions?
Good to see the bad guys win. Was always bored with the likes of big daddy always winning.
Scrubber always had one of the best splashes, he leaps across the ring
Always difficult to see on vids just how big and powerful Elijahs muscles were but well nice seeing him here demolished by tougher men
Scrubber Daily was actually Ronald McDonald.
My grandad was taught judo by pat roach in birmingham
Liar
4.32 bombers ready bombers away!!
My dad used to take me to the civic in Wolverhampton to watch the wrestling when I was a kid. Loved it.
Commentator mentioned Daley was 22 stone here, looked a lot closer to 30 with that gut.

I think that the powerhouse john elijah was the man to watch in this match, the bearman 💪💪💪💪🐻❤️😍🇬🇧
haystacks could have beat all 3 opponents on his own, he could probably beat his tag partners as well at the same time
beat...then EAT!
You must be joking
I can't stop laughing 😊
Puddings 🍮 🍮 🍮 won, would be with all the fat round their bodies. 👎👎👎
wタッチを嫌がるパートナー(笑)やはりローチはこの中だと格上なんかね♥️
Did you know scrubber Daley was my milkman in Nuneaton
Still about is he ?
i remember "Scrubber" Daly, but couldn't remember what he looked like! A good match, i enjooyed that but...what a shit finish!
I once took on Scrubber at Boston lasting four minutes before he splashed me.
Was it as painful as it looks?
@@julianlayton733 Not too bad.
Haha so funny ...
Young David vs tally ho kaye
此の" パット・ロ〜チとは俳優も兼ねてる人かいや？ 映画に似たような人が出演しておったのぉ💦
Yes
@@justinboocockI would have said "no".
Yes, he was in a few movies.
Raiders of the Lost Ark, Bond etc.
Clash of Titans too
Jamaica George looks like a basketball player that accidentally wondered into a wrestling ring!
George is one of the nicest fella's and great wrestler
Wouldnt mess with him either way.
'Scrubber' Daley may well be the best wrestling name of all time.
It's up right up there with "The Scunner Campbell" from Supergran
Giant Haystacks is a big lumbering oaf. He wouldn't last a minute against Big Daddy or the British Bulldogs.
What crap
never seen jamaica george before. pretty good selling, very dynamic moves
..and ends up with broken ribs.
Entertainment back then was great but that was fixed in your face 😂
I can't help but think if Marty Jones had been in place of George, the match would've been much closer and longer.
Haystacks was a dozer operator . All good fun 😂
George been skippin leg day 😂 hes got style tho 😎👍🍻🍻
Haystacks doesn't really do much.It takes him all his time to move!
And featuring the tiniest announcer! 🎤

yeah, i thought that. its because the rings are so much smaller than the WWF ones! There was NO WAY the guy taking the pasting couldn't tag out!

Wow entertainment...😊
What year was this?
watched this again tonight. cannot believe how uncomfortable John elijah looked in this match.
Certainly at this point 8:33
Was he sick?
All good fun 🤩
Crap
❤️
Scrubber Daly should of called himself mini Haystacks, the baddies were always my favourites, especially Giant haystacks (who I met and really was a GIANT, I'm 6.4 and only came upto his shoulders) I used to like Wild Angus aswell
More like mildly annoyed Angus
@74 torino In later life he had bad posture and stood 6.8 because he stooped but early on he was definitely 6.11, he was in the Guinness book of record also if you watch his match against Gywn Davies from around 1976/77 Gywn Davies is 6.5 and Haystacks is easily a head taller which would be easily 5-6 inches hence 6.11
I saw Wild Angus vs Mighty John Quinn in Salford, about 1978.
Splats 🤣
How did people whatch this

On a telly in the front room.
As a kid I loved it, remember we had nothing to compare it to. Cheer the good guys, boo the bad ones.
Haystacks should of went to the USA a lot earlier in his career .
why. he'd have sill only been 6ft 7 and got caught out about his height
I already watched haystack destroy roach
Fixed
I’d like to have seen Big Bruno destroy Pat roach
I just spotted my maths teacher in the crowd.
This is like a ROCKY MOVIE
