Canadian wrestlers who toured U.K.

Would it have been easier for them to come over here and work, due to the Commonwealth connection?

Maybe

Agreed, and a powerfully built bloke as well. He was trained as a real wrestler and could handle himself by all accounts.

There is a funny story, can't remember who told it, but when George was in the UK, he wandered into a wrestlers gym (Dale Martin, Brixton, maybe?), it was winter and he was fully clothed, with a big over coat on and smoking a big cigar. He was wandering around, looking at what equipment they had, puffing on the cigar, everyone was watching him.

He walked over to the weights bench, loaded the bar with as much weight as it would hold, got on the bench, over coat on, cigar in mouth, and started bench pressing this huge weight, without breaking sweat. After a while he put the bar down, walked around, looking at the posters on the wall, and then walked out.

Wasn't Ross Owen's tag partner in the tag team tournament they had on TV?

Ross Hart/Owen Hart versus Finlay/Rocky Moran from Guildford in an Ireland versus Canada match in 1984

That what I remembered. It was some sort of international Tournament.
