Really enjoyed watching Terry Rudge who,at times,could get feisty but mostly stayed within the rules.Also enjoyed Peter Rann who always gave a good,rugged performance.Your opinions please.

Liked what I saw in Billy Robinson's matches against Roy Bull Davies in "The Wrestlers" and Lee Bronson in 1978 on World Of Sport. A man who stuck to the rules not through moral scruples but because he didn't need to chear. A fan favourite with a dark pyschotic streak who might lose control and cripple someone with a legit hold. The way his eyes lit up with relish when someone did foul him and he had the excuse to do it back to them. Basically it was Billy being his real life self.
You have snuck Zollie in there, Hack. Good call, he was quite objectionable most of the time, just a bad sport, moaning, rather than an out and out villain. Win at all costs and a bad loser.
It was these men, the gritty ones like Wall, Dempsey, Davies, Boscik that gave wrestling it's credibility. They were the ones that looked as though they really wanted to win and were ready to push the barriers.

Johnny South always tough and very impressive
Alf Rawlings. Lovely helpful man out of the ring, but a hard tough guy in it.

Albert Wall.& On occasion,Gwyn Davies
Albert Wall, Jack Dempsey, Billy Howes.
Pat Roach, before tv fame was one who walked that tight rope. Wayne Bridges was the same.
Albert Wall for sure.
And Iron Jaw Jow Murphy.
But both overstepped the mark at times...
