Have to admit I had a bit of a soft spot for this character as he used to make me laugh. He's a bit of a man of mystery to me, what's known about him? was he ever involved in a proper tear up? was he a good wrestler? or was it always the comedy route?
I would imagine him and Les Kellet could have put together a good tag team inventing all kinds of scenarios to make us laugh. Sham it never happened … or did it?
Thanks mate (and thanks Hack for the link), many years ago, like most of us, I saw Catweazle and wondered how he had ever made it to the pro ranks, with his seeming lack of any skill and his comedy routine. Even his name was based on a TV character that was only on TV between 1970-1971, so a lot of younger fans in the 80's would not even make that connection.
Turned out he could actually wrestle, and I am sure, McManus hand picked him for the final match.
