We've Discussed 'CHAIN Matches'- We've Discussed 'LADDER Matches'-We've even
Discussed 'HAIRCUT Matches'!!-All of course Demonstrating the 'Desperate Straits' that
Wrestling Promoters had gotten themselves into!-by the Mid 1970's!
Arguably-Even Worse-was the Massive Draw?? Idea of Staging 'STREET FIGHT' Matches!
Now at first Noting this-you may be Expecting something like 'All-In'-No Holds Barred 'Scraps
as you would Witness at Pub Emptying-Out Times??
Oh No!-This 'Street Fight' was about the First Protagonist to STRIP his Opponent down to
his Underpants!!-as Both Fighters start in 'Civvie' Clothes!!
In the Example below of this 'Great' Idea-Not- Surely you'd not be Expecting to see a Wrestler
of the Skill and Class of DYNAMITE KID being anywhere near Involved in this??
Well here he is......aiming to get TALLY HO-KAYE All but Naked!!
Perhaps the only Saving Grace was that the Winner didn't have to stuff the Loser into a
Weasel Suit!!....or a Body Bag like WWF!!
Who saw One of THESE Matches then??
MAIN MASK
Dave Finlay had several "Belfast Street Fights" in the European Tournaments
