When Les was in the ring the referee usually landed on the canvas at some point.

Yes, my dad loved wrestling and he got us interesting at a young age. He’d take 4 little girls with him to Westridge Park once a month. The atmosphere was awesome. Lovely memories of my dad 
.
Of course I watched WWE. The Undertaker and John Cena were my favourites. Yes, I know it’s fake.

Not a fan of the old British shows but WWE can be entertaining as long as you don’t take it seriously.Stone Cold Steve Austin ,The Rock ,etc were in their prime when I really took an interest.

In the mid to late 80’s I lived for wrestling. Ricky ‘The Dragon’ Steamboat was my favorite wrestler.

When I teenager I went to wrestling in Minehead Butlins and Bournemouth Town Hall
As choreographed entertainment it was really enjoyable.
And in the eighties S4C used to show Welsh wrestling.
I remember one female wrestler going completely off script and battering the referee.
That definitely wasn’t staged.
The referee was clearly upset…although since it was broadcast perhaps it was!
Look up ‘Wreslo’.
There may be something on you tube.
My one grandmother looked forward to 4pm on a Saturday and I reckon the other would have been handy with her handbag( she came with me to the wrestling in Butlins).

My mum used to love it.

At the end of the ITV World of Sport section, how many of you recall watching that electric typewriter tap out the fottball results?

My ex husband’s aunt loved Wrestling and used to go to see Jackie Pallo wherever he was appearing. She even had one of his velvet ribbons from his ponytail that she treasured!!
My dad liked watching the Wrestling… l remember Mick McManus and Billy Two Rivers.
I knew Banger Walsh. He went to my school. He died recently. He had bad Dementia.

Me and my daughter’s ex-partner went to see WWE at the NEC Birmingham. Showmanship but it was first class. Mick Foley jumped from the 4th tier of seats into the ring and knocked out Jake the Snake. Ambulances and medics were called. We were told he was on his way to hospital. Funny thing was, when we were leaving we saw Foley and Jake laughing together and boarding the WWE exhibition coach.
