Les Kellett

Hometown: (Born in) Bradford, England, (Billed) Manchester, England
Trained by: Len Pickard
Finishing Move: The Boston Crab, Submission Toe Hold

# Les Kellett didn't become a full-time wrestler until well into his 40s due to WWII..
# Les Kellett continued to wrestle well into his 60s

Les Kellett was a numerous-time champ, mostly as a middleweight. He had a long-running feud with Johnny Czeslaw between 1972 and 1976 although it was always a friendly rivalry. He virtually patented the Figure-4 leglock and what's now known as the Indian Deathlock. Kellett was a comedian in the ring- his trademark was acting as if disorientated and ducking out of the way at the last moment, wobbling across the ring and delivering a huge back chop. He became famous for a rather selective sense of hearing- only hearing the bell or referee when it suited him, when it didn't he would wait as long as possible before breaking, then making a point of telling his opponent that the round was over.
