Eddie. Hammill ( kung fu ) said years later that he and rocco. ( who were good mates outside the ring ) agreed to go all out in their bouts to give that air of realism. Both were also excellent skilled technical wrestlers.
rocco said years later british wrestleing died as the promoters.and the powers to be ect didnt put anything back into the sport the americand did and look at them now.wrestleing in the uk is very popular but the golden years are gone
If you look at Roccos face closely at the end you must come to a simple conclusion. The antics at the end were NOT a result of adrenalin. He was either completely stoned or insane - not sure which!
Frank Casey lets wrestlers beat the shit out of each other before doing anything, with constant warnings, seen this with a Kendo Nagasaki match - Frank had no bottle!.
Anyone remember in the 80's a match involving rollerball (i think) saturday dinner time...say 1pm-ish (was it on then about the same time as saint and greavsie??)anyway, a glass bottle was involved and rocco was bleeding....i was only about ten so could be completely wrong...
...And Kung-Fu says "That's where we fight Rocco...That's where we fight son!" 03:10 Sandbagging!! Not really a high flier is he? Though Rocco's was impressive though 08:30...
you are totaly wrong this show along with 12 more and two best ofs were shown from start to finish as i have them all they were brian dixon shows made in conjunction with a boxing promoter .
I did watch 5 minuets... what a load of rubbish. No wonder UK wrestling died. Too much like the American so called wrestling. Bring back ITV's World of Sport.
UK wrestling 'died' in the 1980s because it WASN'T like American Wrestling. That's why it was taken off air - it was stuck in the early 1970s! It's now 2016 and UK wrestling is more popular now than it has been at any point in the last 35 years. Lots of promotions drawing big crowds and a promotion in Scotland (ICW) running a 11000 seat venue later this year.
haha..straight fingers to the throat indeed.....If a proper martial arts expert delivered a true straight fingers to the throat it would crush your windpipe and kill you......
If Kung Fu was a real master he would have put Rocco on his back in the first round and his Obis too big which makes me wonder is he for real i dont think so i have done both Judo and Karate and it all looks fake

Brian Dixon later took his shows to ITV
"...And look out for Cyndi Lauper...NOW!!" 10:34
I'm not the biggest fan of British Wrestling, but that pin sequence at 7:30 was actually pretty cool.
Bruh....Dynamite Kid, Rollerball Rocco,Marty Jones, Fit Finlay.

Cock-up, more like: irritating in the extreme....

Trying to hard to be like American wrestling
I used to watch this pish every Sat at 4 with my Grandad.
God help me.
Incidentally, is this the world's smallest ring ?
Was Kung fu a real martial arts black belt ? 👊
belt rank are karate, Kung fu has no rank system they learn from experiment fighting and learn the opponent move what not to fooling around.
you are totaly wrong this show along with 12 more and two best ofs were shown from start to finish as i have them all they were brian dixon shows made in conjunction with a boxing promoter .
Looks like a load of cobblers to me. Nicely rehearsed, mind.

Thats pro wrestling sport show story telling not competition
Was the ref counting when the fake karate guy was on the floor? Why?
Cos 10 counts were a thing, why else would he be counting?
What crap commentators the one can only say oohh
You can't beat Kent Walton!
Just a circus act
What a load of effluent, not helped by the two brain deads supposedly commentating!
King fu more Hong Kong phooey than Kung Fu.
