But did they Ever Face Each Other?

Yes!-They DID!-But not very often!

Thanks for these MM, always keen to see Wryton posters from this timeframe.

On the 1973 bill the team was Rocco & Jowett on the night.

These are two very, very good bills. I wish that I had seen them.

I imagine that Adrian Street/The Hells Angels would have won the two bouts as Mark Rocco and Marty Jones were in the early stages of their careers and would not yet have been allowed to beat any of the top established stars.

Thanx JOHN!-As you probably Know HELLS ANGELS were my Top Favourite

Tag Team Ever!-By 1973- The Year of This ANGELS/ROCCOS Clash-ROCCO

was then into his 4TH Year on The JOINT Circuit and was Starting to make Inroads

into getting Results against Bigger Names!-I Suspect The Outcome of This Tag

Match was A Draw!

The Solo Bout Above between ROCCO and STREET was from 1972-and I'm

Pretty Sure ADRIAN would have Won!!

STREET Tells Us in One of His Books that he 'usually' Beat Early ROCCO-but

of course by 1974-he had gone from JOINT!-

For 2 Reasons-Allegedly MAX CRABTREE Didn't Like BOBBY BARNES at All

and wouldn't 'Allow' him in HELLS ANGELS!-STREET would have None of This

and Very Cleverly Copywrighted The Tag Name!-So ONLY ADRIAN could Decide

The Personnel in HELLS ANGELS!

The 2ND Reason being-He felt he was being 'Underpaid' for his 'Status' and was

Offered More Money-Elsewhere!-KENT WALTON Announced This to Us by rather

ambiguously Stating that 'STREET had Left The Business'!!

Why would a tag team of Rocco and Jones be called The Roccos? Marty was a big enough attraction in his own right. Marty Jones, The Rollerball, Adrian and Bobby Barnes all in the ring together, that IS pure wrestling porn!

Amazing to see Rollerball Rocco, versus Adrian Street.

Yes GRAHAM -ADRIAN STREET was at The Top of His Game in The Early 1970's-

I Saw a Lot of The ANGELS in This Period+ STREET in Solo!

ROCCO was still 'Honing' His Trade then-One Move that ADRIAN used a lot was The

INSIDE LEG HANK-See STREET versus BREAKS on YOU TUBE-and low and behold

ROCCO began using it frequently from around 1975!!
