Has the bloke just stabbed the lady?

Unlikely. Stabbings and domestic abuse don’t really sell furniture. Sex on the other hand maybe does. I thought he might be going in for a nipple tweak.

“Doctor Death” David Schultz (I’m assuming it’s this Doctor Death since he’s working with another American, Greg Valentine) was a fucking lunatic.

I recall going to see the show including Haystacks, Big Daddy & Kendo Nagasaki when it came (as it seemed to quite regularly in the mid 70’s) to the Civic hall in Solihull. Sell out crowd, Grannies waving handbags & a very entertaining piece of theatre.

Haystacks’ wiki page is quite an interesting read particularly in relation to feuding, ‘Heels’, ‘Blue-eyes’ and who he was friends with. He even released a record at one point!

THE classic era of British wrestling :heart: My maternal grandad loved all that stuff, and I can just recall watching it with him as a little kid; he’d wrestled himself when he was in the army.

Hahah

He claimed to have eaten three pounds of bacon and a dozen eggs every morning to maintain his strength
