He was hardly a great icon in any sense of the word. He relied entirely on his fathers name and had only a handful of TV singles matches. Dave Barrie,son of Les Kellet was a far better wrestler and had far more TV appearances but did not use the connection at all. Viewers were just told he was trained by Les Kellet
JJ certainly benefited from his paternal connection and I think he would have gone unnoticed without his dad's fame. When JJ came on the scene Jackie Sr mellowed and became the protective dad. Anglo Italian and myself spent a very enjoyable afternoon in a Kent pub with him about ten years back. We walked in wondering if we would recognise him but there was no doubt at all, JJ had aged like us all but there was no mistake. Sadly died far too young.
Remember him well although not so sure I saw him live.
