Did anybody watch it? Had to get the father to add the channel to the sky box sorry for not ading that bit in

OMG it was gas all done in kayfabe pity it was only a half hour long.

They had an interview with a fan she was like 30 and on one of those granny scooters she thought it was all real and was very dissapointed that they only got a crowd of 19 people and had worrys that they may not return to there village again.

The promoter was going shop to shop buying random stuff then asking the shopkeeper if they would mind putting up a poster to promote his show he called it the "soft approach"

Yer man himself was the undefeated britsh feather weight champion for 50 years but he said he would retire if he lost the belt in his upcoming fight...he didnt :pac:

Apparently it takes 78 years to be a wrestler. Flairs not there just yet.

A 78-year-old wrestler is showing the younger generation how it is done, 50 years after winning the British featherweight title.
Dave Kidney, from Dundee, suffers from the heart condition angina but sill competes and teaches.
He started wrestling when he was nine and won his featherweight title in 1959 at the Caird Hall in the city.
His story is told in the BBC1 Scotland documentary Dave Kidney: Superstar, which is on at 2235 BST.
'Long time'
Mr Kidney told the BBC: "People my age, they're sitting around the house twiddling their thumbs, watching telly.
"I'm not into that, not my cup of tea.
"If I can't do something active, may as well pull the plug."
Mr Kidney admits that winning the featherweight title in front of 2,000 people at the Caird Hall was something he would never forget.
And he is keen to pass his knowledge on by teaching young wrestlers.
He said: "It takes a long time to be a wrestler - you don't just come up here four weeks on the trot and then that's it you're a wrestler, it doesn't work that way.
"It just doesn't happen overnight, you know, it takes time. Look at me, look how long it took me."
