Wonderful nostalgia. One has to think , no matter how much Kendo was brilliant from the word go , he must have had to have eased into this new line of work as a little bit green. Almost for sure he would not have been doing the "Crash" and maybe not the Rack either. Karate chops for sure , but some of these old timers would have sold it very well , Hussey you can bet on. The earliest work of course was exclusively Wryton , but of course that would have soon expanded. Thanks MM.
