A final update on the mystery wrestler from Yorkshire. Sadly, he lost his final fight earlier this year. Out of respect, I will continue to protect his privacy, but I will say he was well looked after in his final days and his legacy is still out there, on Youtube and in a few comments asking about him, and where he went in later life. Thanks to everyone who tried to help me identify him and rest well, RS.

Just as a round-up for everyone who was interested in my mystery wrestler - I now know who he is and I was thrilled to discover him anew. He wrestled under a totally unrelated name and I would never have found him if it hadn't been for the kind friend showing us a picture. He, as I said, is very private and I will respect that but I really hope he will allow people in one day as he was a great wrestler and he has suffered a lot in the years since his hay-days. I would love to tell him how interested people are in him and how much people would want to help. The friend has shown him some of his old matches on Youtube and apparently his face lit up; he had no idea those matches were there. Also, some *bleep* apparently stole his championship belt many years ago!

The gent in question is in his early 70s so I guess it's possible...

I am informed he is very protective of his privacy and I only even know he exists because of a friend who knows someone who is helping him out. Believe me, if I could ask I would :) It's driving me crazy. Definitely not George Burgess.

I'm so sorry, but that is literally all the info I have. I do know he is not deceased. I suppose he could even have changed his name so it is indeed a 'needle in a Giant Haystacks' :D Thank you all for responding!

It's his actual name, as I understand it.

@SaxonWolf The info came to me through a friend and that is all the info I have. I have tried searching Google for wrestlers with the name George (real or assumed), looked at old posters, tried to find lists of DQ matches involving Haystacks and I have come up empty. He must have been relatively well known if he fought Haystacks surely? Or maybe he was just a jobber for story purposes. I just thought I'd try here as people seem very knowledgeable. It's ok if nothing comes of it, but I'm grateful for all responses.

Hey everyone, Brand new to the site (but not to wrestling) and I wonder if you can help. I am trying to track down a wrestler who I believe was called George Hastings who beat Giant Haystacks by DQ at some point back in the mists of time. May have been a Yorkshire lad? I just can't find him so if anyone can help I would be hugely grateful. Thank you :)
