I seem to remember Brian Crabtree as referee or as MC doing a one foot victory pose on a beaten wrestler. This was on World of Sport on a Saturday afternoon in the 1980s. Does anyone remember this or know which bout this happaned in. It could be something that happened more than once,

Brian Crabtree was a clown, he had an ego that had to be fed to the expense of the bouts in a lot of cases. Not popular at Newcastle City Hall, he was booed on entering the ring and regular barracks throughout the evenings bill. To be honest him doing the victory pose on a defeated wrestler is a bloody disgrace, it shows disdain for your employees and shows the respect the Crabtrees had for a lot of the roster.
