I've read a fair bit about this wrestler, but never seen him as he was way before my time, and I haven't been able to find any footage. So I thought I'd ask on here as I'm guessing some of you will have seen him.
I know he was Kendo's first ever opponent and I've heard he could do a pretty amazing drop kick. Kendo discribes him as a 'carpenter' i.e someone who would always make his opponent look good.
What was his style of wrestling?
Was he a heel or blue eye?
Did he have a similer style to his son Rocco?
C'mon guys, enlighten me.
Cheers.
Can I just add my agreement with all the above comments regarding Jim Hussey. He was a bill topping heavyweight for whom the rules meant nothing; however this does not take away anything from the consumate wrestling skills that he possessed. Usually on the wrong side of the crowd's ire I have actuallly seen him in the role of the hero when up aganist some overseas villain or one of this country's perennial heels such as Billy Joyce. Always a wrestler I enjoyed watching either live or on TV.
