No. I'm not sure of his actual age but Kellett was quite old in wrestling terms on the two occasions he worked for me; and particularly on the West Bromwich show which was in the early eighties. Although a big man, Jake had a reputation for being a light worker. Kellett trusted him and they had a bout together which they almost managed to do on automatic pilot.
Incidentally, when Kellett retired I saw Jake doing a Butlin's show with a lad who I think was billed as Tarzan Darren (or something like that) and the whole thing was reversed with Jake performing Kellett's role and doing all the comedy.
