Tomorrow April 22nd will be the anniversary of the passing of another wrestling great and one of my heroes Canadian Mighty John Quinn. It just seems like yesterday that I was young lad of 12-13 when he first appeared on our television screens on World Of Sport way back in 1979 ranting his anti British opinions to the enraged ringsiders. Being young and easily influenced I went along with Max Crabtree’s clever marketing and i initially hated the ex lumberjack and couldn’t wait to see Big Daddy hopefully beat him. Following Quinn’s defeat and subsequent departure I was over the moon when Kent Walton announced during a bout featuring Spiros Arion that Quinn was returning to our shores to menace us once again. The following are items from my own collection. Please feel free to comment about MJQ or add pictures articles of your own, but most of all enjoy.

And finally for now another "Ebay" find, a signed collectible wrestling card.
