As a Yank it has been a wonderful introduction for sure, I've always had a curiosity about English wrestling but a lot like Japanese wrestling context and a real understanding of the culture is important to to really apreciate the product as whole.
Agreed. As a kid from the UK during the attitude era I got so obsessed with wrestling I read lots of books on wrestling (no internet for me). I ended up knowing a lot about the history of the then WWF, WCW and even the NWA territories but British stuff beyond Davey Boy, Dynamite and Regal was pretty much a mystery.
Brian Maxine was a great heel and new how to work the crowd. I remember him defeating Mick McMichael on a mid week ITV televised broadcast. Maxine having been declared the unpopular winner of the contest took his guitar and began singing, McMichael did no more than snatch Maxine's guitar and smashed it several times over Maxine's head much to the delight of the audience ringside and at home. By the time McMichael had fined both Maxine and his guitar were in pieces. Mick McMichael did exactly the same thing to Adrian Street's elaborate robe's one time in a televised contest.
One of the things I love most about this channel is that 98% of the British pop culture references go right the hell over my head, yet I never feel like I can’t follow the joke.
I miss UK wrestling. I watched WoS as a kid at my Granny and Grandas house. It was a style totally different to the American product, but it still did what it was supposed to do: Entertain the masses. Thank you for preserving an important part of UK cultural history.
Man that sure was a strong choice of footage to open up on this guy with. Cartwheel into slide-under into double leg into a weird, cool barrel roll bump, okay, I think I like him already.
Being a Canadian who started watching wrestling with the Attitude Era, I knew nothing about UK wrestling. This channel has been great in filling the gaps in my wrestling knowledge. There's still a lot of gaps, but this channel has filled a few of them. Thanks.
As soon as i heard you mention Mick McManus on the show the other day, I knew that there would be a lovely snippet of Bach. Laughed my tits of in the work van, just knowing it was coming
Best channel ever. I watch these at night when I can't sleep......wait, i'm not suggesting they make me fall asleep....Okay this was supposed to be a compliment
I'm glad that British wrestling is finally getting it's flowers in general, theres alot of great old school stuff i've seen thanks to video tapes from my granda and it's awesome to see it discussed.
I saw him wrestle against Mal Sanders in Worthing in the early 2000s. Premier promotions is my favourite wrestling promotion it is like The World of Sport was never taken off the air! The maddest thing is after 20 years of going to see the shows I started to train and have taken part in a few rumbles and regularly Referee for them!
I caught a couple of shows there in the late '80s, both of which are among my most immersive experiences of theatre. Wrestling was booked at two Worthing venues depending on season: Pavilions (the pier) during the summer and Guildhall (I think it was called) during the 'off-season.' Ever the pro, I arrived at the venue for the winter fixture primed with immerse through the medium of strong marijuana. Paranoia augmented the sense of foreboding as the lights dimmed over a sparse audience. Yet the wrestling promotion and audience were kind of a low-slung emotional safety net to the unforgiving jungle where I'd obtained said herbal remedy. A protolithic 'safe space' in an age before every emotional idiosyncrasy could be isolated and pandered-to as an off-the-peg number. The only match I recall from this event is Giant Haystacks vs. Tiger Dalibar Singh. There was a little firm of about three or four beer boys, early twenties, sat a row and a few seats away from me, yet my nearest neighbours, whose audience participation was genuinely slightly more ironic than the regular clientele. Their fit of raucous hilarity at the MC announcement 'this is a heavyweight contest' incurred a portending glare from Stacks. And they repeatedly openly petitioned that Singh was still wearing his dressing gown. No herbal additives required for the summer fixture (or there was a hitch in the line of supply, that used to happen quite often in those days). Mighty John Quinn. I don't recall who he was billed against by the promotion but to all intents and purposes, for me, it was Mighty John Quinn vs. the bloke who was sat next to me in the front row. An audacious challenge followed by an abrupt mismatch. Write your own anecdote. I had the most privileged seat in the house. I've imparted the Mighty John anecdote several times on RUclips flora and forum but here I'll proffer a world exclusive thirty-odd-year-old revelation: Kid Chocolate. Again, don't recall the opponent, but Mr. Chocolate's all-action, despair-to-elation performance slammed a packed audience from pillar to post on an emotional rollercoaster and to this day - to this day - defies the idiosyncrasies of my faculty for memory. I reckon he must have been a handy martial artist.
@@herbert9241 wow thats a cool time yo of got to Premier. I did not get there till the early 2000s and fell in love with the whole experience. I do seriously think that they should get a grant from English heritage to put the shows on cos the experience is Uniquely English. I have since got involved with Premier Promotions and done a couple of Rumbles and regularly Referee for them. A lot of traveling Wrestlers will try to get to perform at Premier Promotions. It is one of the only promotions that still runs to the World Of Sport 3 falls and rounds rules. Which is a very different way to wrestle compared to the American 1 fall style. Rumour has it that Daniel Bryan got the idea to use the Final Countdown as an entrance theme after performing at Premier (very annoyingly i missed that show!)
Lads, at this rate, I'm gonna make a separate British Wrestling Universe for my 2k23 game along with Catweazel, Gaylord, Kendo, Les, and now Gold Belt Maxine.
It's unbelievable how utterly fascinating these peoples lives are.....I can't believe the places they bob up in! Broadway Musicals, Abbey Road.....what....
American here…..you could rearrange every name spoken in this video and it would make just as much sense and I’d never know the difference….FANTASTIC BRI’ISH NAYEMS!!!
I loved that you talked about the Fairport Convention stuff. I collect wrestler records, and I think the Maxine stuff with Fairport is about as good as it gets in the genre , along with the Sweet Daddy Siki country albums.
I’m a 20 year old from Texas and love learning about wresting history from other countries I’ve already learned a lot about Puroresu (Japanese wrestling) and now time to learn about British Wrestling. Besides regal I’ve only heard of guys like robbie brookside, and johnny saint still haven’t seen those guys wrestle but i’ve heard those names because ik they worked in wwe for nxt uk.
Between this, the videos on Les Kellett, and the videos on Catweazle, this is making me more and more want to watch the old World of Sports wrestling shows and learn about them!
Wierd thing about British wrestling back then was how many star attractions there were. People who would only appear on TV 6 times a year or so and yet would be instantly recognisable as names and over with the crowd. Even the likes of big daddy would only be on TV a few times a year compared to these days when every show has to have the top guy every week
I seem to remember watching him wrestle when I was a kid and he was introduced as Brian “I’m your man” Maxine to promote a music album he had just released - even used the song as his walk on music!
I've watched a lot of wrestling channels causally over the years but I have to say, you two are magic! Informative, hilarious and fun as hell. Good job boys!
Toby Carvery. Brilliant. Another fantastic retrospective on a British legend. I can't wait for "Gold Belt" to challenge the pair of you to a match after what you said about his nose!
People need to knick everything from this dude. The "Keep This, it'll be a collectors item" business card is the fucking greatest *up his own ass* heel sthick I've seen in a long fucking time. God I fucking love you guys' british wrestling videos.Learning about all this shit is so fucking fun.
I absolutely love this channel. It's so engaging when you start off on a topic then fill in all past details and other information. Feels like how I'd discuss these things down the pub 😂
Honestly the Patreon is worth every penny, I have watched show after show and when I brought the Patreon I couldn’t believe my luck. Mark and Pete are truly the best podcasters going
Saw the RLM videos this time last year , found this channel a couple of days ago and was surprised to see banyabat as editor I n the credits. Quite serendipitous. He certainly has a style.
My Uncle Malcolm’s brother was a wrestler in the early 60s through to the 80s . He was quite well known and appeared on World of Sport regularly. He was called Johnny Yearsley. Bit of a villain in truth.
Amazing, You are the Gialappa's Band of ProWrestling (only italians can understand my compliments) Gialappa's were an italian comedy trio (it s a duo now), they were famous for the satirical commentary of italian soccer and tv
Two proper laughs in under 90 seconds - obligatory yorkshire ripper reference and Toby Carvery! Thanks, you guys are gold and so glad you’re covering British wrestling
I caught Brian 'Gold Belt' Maxine on television maybe circa late '70s and, although his announcement clearly had an air of reputation about it, the one impression he made on me was his two-tone, pink-and-yellow trunks. This was a quantum leap innovation.
I'd honestly love to see more videos about World of Sport people or old school British wrestlers, even as an Englishman, it'd be cool to get an education on people like Mick McManus, Mr TV Jackie Pallo, Cyanide Sid Cooper, it's also cool that a video on Leon Aris and Crybaby Jim Breaks will be coming in the future. Honestly, also, looking at some of the stuff that Maxine did, like the "Keep this, this will become a collectors item" card would be a great thing to get heel heat in 2023 never mind back in the day!
Brian Maxine stayed as official British Middleweight Champion until 2000 when Scott Conway's TWA created a new version that was feuded over between Mal Sanders and James Mason. Significantly, when Maxine wrestled Johnny Kidd on a 2002 Premier Promotions show in Worthing, it was only for the belt as a posession, not for the title as Premier promoter John Freemantle was not prepared to dispute his mate Conway's company's version of the title.
In the meantime, a lot of talented young Middleweights got fast tracked onto the European title without touching Maxine's British title. Mal Sanders, Keith Hayward, Danny Collins and Jason Cross all got fast tracked onto the Euro Middleweight title (Collins had already become World Champion beating Owen Hart in 1991)
As an American and relatively new viewer, I knew hardly anything about the British wrestling scene! I thoroughly enjoy the videos you all make, especially the old school projects! Good stuff gentlemen!
I've already commented on the video once but man you guys are great. Just the way you slip into a William Regal impression as you quote his book about the Royal Albert Hall match.
Some of those promotion photos show Maxine as almost bald, but in the ring he had a full head of hair. It must have been a syrup, but how do you keep it on in a wrestling match. I'm intrigued. I knew about his country & western career already. Let's face it, this man loved being famous! I love your content, guys, as I'm fascinated by old British wrestling.
It's nice to see you lads getting plaudits for your work. I would suggest Jackie Fargo would have been one of the first guys to class himself as King (of Memphis) and wearing a crown..which later was handed down to Jerry Lawler.
Surprised me to hear Ellesmere Port, thats where i live and to hear the Port fair cracked me up. Not sure if i have heard this mans name before but I'm a big fan of this channel - would love to have asked my Dad about this man and if he's familiar of his work but he's no longer with us. Didn't know anybody other than my dad who was as big as a wrestling fan as i am.
I've just heard of Prince Iakea recently, from Kevin Sullivan talking about how great, extremely intelligent, & groundbreaking he was. Now I know why they had a Prince Iakea in late WCW, but I wonder if they're related or just a stolen moniker?
I cannot stress enough how important this channel is to the preservation and education of British wrestling history. Thank you guys for creating such informative and entertaining content.
Totally agree been a old git at 53 and from England and growing up on WOS I'm absolutely loving this channel.
Cannot begin to tell you what a pleasure it is! Thanks for the kind words
As a Yank it has been a wonderful introduction for sure, I've always had a curiosity about English wrestling but a lot like Japanese wrestling context and a real understanding of the culture is important to to really apreciate the product as whole.
@@WrestleMe carry on with WOS and British wrestling you know that's what pulls viewers
Agreed. As a kid from the UK during the attitude era I got so obsessed with wrestling I read lots of books on wrestling (no internet for me). I ended up knowing a lot about the history of the then WWF, WCW and even the NWA territories but British stuff beyond Davey Boy, Dynamite and Regal was pretty much a mystery.

I saw “Goldbelt” wrestle many times at Preston Guild Hall. - His battles with Rollerball Rocco were blood soaked riots.
You two are putting out some of the most educational and entertaining wrestling content going. Please, please, please keep it up!
We will! Thanks man
Being a Canadian who started watching wrestling with the Attitude Era, I knew nothing about UK wrestling. This channel has been great in filling the gaps in my wrestling knowledge. There's still a lot of gaps, but this channel has filled a few of them.
Thanks.
As a Brit who started watching at the same time, neither did I. I probably knew more about Canadian wrestling than British.
Brother, that's a gap too big to ever fill lol attitude era is too late to start.
As soon as i heard you mention Mick McManus on the show the other day, I knew that there would be a lovely snippet of Bach. Laughed my tits of in the work van, just knowing it was coming
Best channel ever. I watch these at night when I can't sleep......wait, i'm not suggesting they make me fall asleep....Okay this was supposed to be a compliment
I'm glad that British wrestling is finally getting it's flowers in general, theres alot of great old school stuff i've seen thanks to video tapes from my granda and it's awesome to see it discussed.

Awesome video. I had forgotten about this guy. Thanks for bringing him back .
Brilliant stuff. Loving learning about some of these forgotten heroes of wrestling and hearing them get their plaudits.
I never thought I'd find a wrestling channel that consistently introduces me to wrestlers I had never heard of. Thank you!
Ahhh Iron Fist Clive Myers - please review Mick McManus V Iron Fist….the bump Myers takes at the end of the match is insane!

1:58 That’s Pete Roberts and (possibly) Colin Joynson? I’m pretty sure it’s not Brian Maxine.
This guy is freakin' awesome! He puts Lawler to shame.

The UK invented pro wrestling and are the best at the actual wrestling bit. And dont you ever ever forget it.

Cheeky fact on Ellesmere Port. It was built from scratch by Lever Bros. in order to house its workers. The houses that they put up are lovely.
I am absolutely loving your looks at the classic UK scene.
Keep the old school UK stuff coming
The Pirates where the very first movie I saw in a theatre!
Can you do "Bomber" Pat Roach? He was sort of the forgotten british heavyweight, once lost to Mr. Blobby
YEAH
Wasnt he in raiders of lost ark and auf wiedersain pet
@@jubeaumont6305 yes he was actually in the first three Indiana Jones films not just Raiders Of The Lost Ark and he was also in a James Bond film

Was Richard Thompson on the album too?
no, he had already left the band by then
@@danhiggsbeard he just wanted to see the bright lights
RIP Goldbelt
I’d love to see an episode on Johnny Eagles
RIP Goldbelt.
He also looks like he played rugby in the 1970s a lot of the 1974 British and Irish Lions team looked like him
Sadly passed - just two weeks ago on 13 November 2024. RIP Brian Maxine ...

Where is he now? Who nose?

Brilliant!

Great stuff
Brilliant
He's got that Jack Della Maddalena nose.
