Hey, UK folks, what's the story here? A Wikipedia search only brought up a kids' television show sharing the name. Any connection? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catweazle |

Any connection? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CatweazleThe wrestling character was a takeoff on the character from the TV series, and actually ended up becoming enormously popular from what I understand, particularly as a foil to Mick McManus, one of the biggest heels in British wrestling at the time. |

Apparently he was a farmer from Cornwall in real life, he played sort of a bumpkin simpleton who had a toy stuffed frog as a mascot.

Catweazle and Kendo Nagasaki are two of my favorites from those old World Of Sport shows.
