Dazza and fettman are back to talk all things British wrestling, including but not limited to: how Dazza became a fan of British Wrestling and the wrestling that was available to him growing up, we dispel the myth that WWF impacted the British wrestling scene, and we go into detail about the specific British wrestling style and their unique audience.
We chart the British superstars of each generation: from Mick McManus and Jackie Pallo, to Big Daddy and Giant Haystacks, and finally: Mark Rollerball Rocco, Dynamite Kid, Fit Finlay, Kendo Nagasaki, Fuji Yamada, Johnny Saint, as well as the legendary British announcer and Wrestling Observer Hall of Famer, Kent Walton.
