Yeah thanks Powerlock, Ive watched it a few times and saw them fight each other at Croydon back in the day. Brilliant wrestlers at the absolute top of the tree.
Thanks so much for the info/answers guys, would love to have seen that bout! I also think they would have made a pretty awesome tag team.
The whole business could have been very different if it had been built around the likes of Rocco, Finley, Marty Jones, Kung fu ect but instead we got the Big Daddy circus and the rest is history.

Rather sadly, Finlay was Rocco's final opponent on the night he collapsed with heart problems and his career ended.
I think they may have met as early as 1980.
In what was billed as Rocco's first time in Ireland he fought Dave Finlay at the Lakeland Forum in Fermanagh 15th March.
I would have been surprised if it didn't happen
