Back in the 1960's Few Overseas Heavyweight Wrestlers made as Big an Impact in Our Rings
than CANADIAN GEORGES GORDIENKO!!
Widely Respected as One of The Best in The World-GEORGES Embarked on A Campaign
which pitted him against the Very Top Heavyweight Wrestlers Operating in The U.K. at the
Time!!-Most Other Wrestlers Acknowleged his Talents-Skills and Rugged Toughness-for Example
DALE STORM Rates him amongst his Own Top 5 Wrestlers!!-Even at This Time when he was
slightly past his Career Apex-He could still Share Top Billing against All The 'Big' Men around!!
We will Examine and Look at Some of These Match-Ups-Starting Below at The MAJESTIC
BALLROOM in LONDON's FINSBURY PARK where he comes into Conflict with The Huge
MASKED ZEBRA KID!!
Sadly I never saw GORDIENKO Wrestle Live but I Wish I could have!!....
MAIN MASK
I remember The great George's Gordienko from Canada he had genuine wrestling skill, and great strength, he always entered the ring by placing his left hand on the corner post then pivoted his entire body over the top rope, I've never seen anyone else do this. I understand he retired from wrestling I believe in the late 70s and moved to Italy to take up one of his other passions which was art painting, I firmly believe he would've destroyed someone like Hulk Hogan who had very little genuine wrestling skill but relied on his charisma and personality to win support from fans, as for big Daddy he would've been far too slow for the likes of Gordienko who would've had him in a submission move before he had time to think, big Daddy used his weight and bulk to knock opponents over, like Hogan he lacked any wrestling skill
