George Kidd was certainly a very supple wrestler with knowledge of a vast number of wrestling manoeuvres.
But for it all to work it required the co-operation of his opponents, just as it did in all matches. Surely a wrestler intent on doing so could have destroyed the flow of Kidd's wrestling.
So was the unique George Kidd style anything more than a gimmick?
