Wouldnt give Big Daddy the pleasure of being called a "wrestler" :pac:
Him, along with his brother, ran the promotion behind "World Of Sport" back in the day and it's wildly reported that they kept all the money to themselves. Paying most wrestlers scraps.
It's also a 'coincidence' that he was a top guy in the promotion he owned with his brother

Despite my knowledge that this is indisputable fact, my brain can't accept it.
In Back to the Future II (made 24 yrs ago now), Marty and the Doc travel 'forward in time' to 2015.
Tragically, I suspect I'm nowhere near a mere two years away owning that hoverboard I so desperately wanted back in 1889, worse still, if by some miracle that I am, I've just realised that I'm now more likely to break a hip then ride it successfully.....

It only feels like yesterday when Italia 90 was on and about 20 of us were up on top of a bus shelter rocking the bollox out of it after David O Leary scored that peno.
I was 9
I remember Italia90. That was when England were just a penalty shootout away from reaching the Final.
Our opening match was against Republic of Ireland, who I think were playing in their first ever World Cup, and it was a drab 1-1 draw. "Is this all there is to England?" asked Rome newspaper La Repubblica.
Fortunately there was more, much more.
A brilliant England team feturing the likes of Lineker, Beardsley, Shilton, Pearce and Gascoigne then went unbeaten in their next four games to get all the way to the Semi-Final against arch-rivals West Germany. Brehme put the Germans 1-0 up after 60 minutes but Lineker equalised in the 80th minute. The match finished 1-1 and remained like that after extra time. So it went to penalties with both teams scoring their first three. West Germany then took a 4-3 lead meaning that Chris Waddle needed to score. He didn't, and unfortunately England went out and Gazza was in floods of tears.
But we were THAT close to the Final - if Waddle had scored his penalty we may have got there - and in the Final it would then have been nice to get revenge on the Argies for the Falklands and the Hand of God.
Apart from England almost winning it, though, Italia90 was the worst world Cup ever. I think less goals were scored in that World Cup than in any other.0 -
