I too thought Alan Dennison a great villain. Wrestlers took years building up their persona and I just couldn't get my head around it when they suddenly changed. How can nasty Dennison turned sickly nice? Or that nice Michael Bennett turn into that horrible Marvellous Mike? Didn't make sense to me.
Alan Dennison was good in either role. He came across as a genuinely nice fellow, when he SOLD for the inexperienced Dynamite Kid In a bout. His ring persona whether heel, or blue eye worked. Distinctive, with his shaven head and leather wrist protectors.The shaven head a perfect ploy for slipping out of headlocks, according to Kent Walton. And the one strap leotard, which lent itself perfectly to the Strongman Moniker. When Dennison decided to dish out the rough stuff, the strap on his leotard would be lowered. And Kent Walton would comment, “Dennison now enraged with McManus for blind side of the ref tactics, now it’s payback time “! All in all, a great grappler taken far too young.
