Even after AMAZING KUNG FU First Lost his MASK against KENDO NAGASAKI in NOVEMBER
1975 at EDINBURGH's MEADOWBANK STADIUM-I was there!!-And again at RAH in MARCH
1976 and after his T.V. 'Loss' to MCMANUS after the RAH Match....KUNG FU Continued to be
Billed as just that:-AMAZING KUNG FU!!
Only in his Native IRELAND did he Wrestle under his Real Own Name.....BUT here's a Super Rare
Example of EDDY being Billed as EDDY HAMMIL!! Wrestling for RELWYSKOW at LEEDS TOWN
HALL against JOHNNY CASANOVA!!-I'm Pretty Certain I only have ONE Other Example where the
Name of EDDY HAMMIL Appears on a Mainland U.K. Wrestling Poster!!
Oh!-The 'Quirks' and 'Vagaries' of BRITISH Professional Wrestling!!
MAIN MASK
Thanks Bill for kind words , you had me double checking and I do remember you were on here before I was.
I see it differently. I don't think those were rare sightings or slip-ups.
Simply the part-time wrestler's names before going full-time as Kung Fu.
Do tell us more Bill , because the A-Z has them as one and the same.
Can't see a long career for Mike in Ireland , just seems to morph into Eddie.

Eddie admits he was initially Mike.
MM think Dave Finlay is Dave Senior. Too early for Fit (Born in 58)
Almost completely correct MM.
Originally in Belfast he was Judo Mike Hamill and I have one slip up in Scotland in 1970.
