I have long been a fan of British Wrestling, since my childhood days of watching it on World of Sport on a Saturday afternoon (why was it always the Wrestling then swopped out to cover something else?) to its later evening slot and now following the new generation of British guys .
Give me tge Brits (and that included Scots, Welsh and Irish too) any day over the too posy Yanks.
The question I have is, does anyone know the heights and weights of King Ben and his son Kid McCoy. It must be out there somewhere but I’ve had no luck so far!
Thanks Guys, your info greatly appreciated. I knew it would be out tgere somewhere but there are literally hours of WoS Wrestling to trawl through the Wrestling ‘Stats’ type sites seem to be poorly completed sometimes.
Kid McCoy was announced by Kent Walton as weighing 11 stones.Right on the end of the lightweight limit.
In the commentary for his 1981 fight versus Steve Casey of Boston we are told King Ben is 13st 5lbs
