A recent episode of Pointless (unfortunately) reminded me of this abomination:
This sole match is the reason why British wrestling is in the s***ter. When these two are two of the most recognisable names in British wrestling history, both morbidly obese and struggling to even move.
The match starts at 1:14. It starts with a long resthold (?!), and less than two minutes in, there's a ref bump. Just 'cause. They continue to shove each other about the ring. The commentators sound embarrassed to be there. It gets to a point where Haystacks has seemingly spent all of his energy (TWO MINUTES IN!) and throws a pathetic little stomp. Meanwhile, a fan throws a drink, which conceivably knocks Haystacks over? That makes the crowd pop like Austin just showed up with a chair. A few more sluggish shoves, Haystacks awkwardly flops over the top rope, and the match ends via count-out. About 2 and a half minutes.
Sorry to drag up an old thread, but this match is an ordeal. As I've said above, it might just be the reason why nobody cares about British wrestling. It's associated with the sort of crap above.

Regarding the bolded part, the drink hit him as he was preparing to deliver a splash. So it didn't knock him down, it just hit him as he was delivering a move which required him to fall to the mat. Match was still awful though. I grant you that.

When someone corpses you send for the man, when the match is shitty you send for Clone's Clone.

I'm trying to get a good look at this Living Dead Girl, which is hard to do when you can only find videos and are stuck on dial up. I want to know if this is the same chick I was on a card with here in Tennessee a few years ago. I didn't stick around for her match, so I don't know if she was horrible or not, but the gimmick makes me wonder.

It's a shame because loads of World Of Sport wrestling was pretty good, Johnny Saint is amazing and, as you said, the fact that Haystacks and Big Daddy are the one everyone loved is staggering. People like Saint, Mick McManus, Rollerball Rocco and Les Kellet for example had more talent in their pinky fingers than Crabtree and Haystacks had in their whole bodies! I do think UK wrestling was getting better though with people like 'Rockstar' Spud, Martin Stone, Jonny Storm, Dave Mastiff, R.J Singh and others. Sorry about the off-topic rant but I had to get it off my chest

Finally caught enough of one video to get a bit of a look at her. At this point, I can't confirm nor deny. There are similarities in their looks, but I can't say for sure.

It's taken a long time to recover, but I think we're finally getting there. I think TNA's new British boot camp show could be a big turning point.
