The most of the wrestling was a fix Mike macmanus was one of the ones that run it .If you were not part of his club you did not get on the tv .I remember the lady that sat in the front row with a knitting needle and if she did not like them she would poke them with it .probably a part of the act .
No, it's a British guy. The promoter saw the name in an American wrestling magazine and thought it sounded good. (He did the same with Greg Valentine.)
It’s what the fellow used. I’m not sure if one can trademark wrestling names, but if Bob Windham could and did with the Mulligan name here in the States, it probably wouldn’t hold up in the UK.
It's bad enough how pathetic this pantomime was, but the worst part is, the Crabtrees were allowed to script it....and as usual, the same old predictive sh*t
The story is the promoter used to get hold of American magazines to get "inspiration" for ring names. They weren't meant as a scam like the later "tribute" shows because people in those days didn't know the US wrestlers.
Got a tear in my eye, me and brother used to watch this with my dad whos passed away now, memeries just come flodding back 😢 great days they were
I remember the likes of Les Kellett, Crybaby Jim Brakes, Kendo Nagasaki from the 70’s. Those were the days.
Bril!. Takes me back to Saturday afternoons as a kid watching the wrestling on telly with my Dad!. 🙂
There was only 1 black jack mulligan.barry and Kendall Windham's father bray wayatt's grandfather
Is it the right one tho as many had the same names in the Us and uk
No. There was also a British one too. He is in the above video.
Apparently not - lol
"Black" Jack Mulligan, as seen here, was a boiler maker by trade.
He wrestled in his free time because he was trained in unarmed combat.
cry harder. his last name wasn't even mulligan. how infantile do you have to be about 50 year old entertainment?
Jackie turpin brother of the famous world middleweight champion randolf turpin
Nephew !
Big Daddy - Arguably the UK's answer to Hulk Hogan.
EASY!🤣 Simpler times, simpler entertainment.
Today's wrestling 📺 is goat tripe 😂
And I believe you're comment well reflects the saying "Less is More!" (I.e. things were better in those simpler times in many ways!)
Mulligan and Turpin looked like they could work a bit at least
Big Daddy was a good worker...when he was "The Fighting Guardsman" about a decade and a half earlier!! Lol
Ahh the good old days, when you realised your granny was a blood thirsty monster...😂
Mulligan really bulked up when he came to the states. Or wait- is that Killer Tim Brooks?
Shirley crabtree aka big daddy, seen him vs giant haystacks as a kid. And rollerball Rocco and catweasel all in one night. Love wrestling ❤
Wow! This is a side of rassling I've never seen before. I hope I don't see it again.
The most of the wrestling was a fix Mike macmanus was one of the ones that run it .If you were not part of his club you did not get on the tv .I remember the lady that sat in the front row with a knitting needle and if she did not like them she would poke them with it .probably a part of the act .
Great fun. But I noticed that The Bulk looked concerned for Turpin after he got the submission on him
a superb technical bout
Did Big Daddy and Jackie Turpin win the tag team championships?
Why was Blackjack Mulligan disguised as a bald bloke with a beard? He's unrecognisable 😂
BECAUSE ITS NOT THE MULLIGANS YOUR THINKING OF AND MULLIGAN NEVER COPYRIGHTED THE NAME. GUESS HE WAS TO BUSY RUNNING FAKE MONEY.
@trentaccid2177 calm down, I was joking!
And about a half foot shorter lol!!!
That's not the black jack that I remember
Fat belly vs even fatter belly
You're thinking of the darts...
I THINK JACK WINDAMS KIDS MIGHT HAVE A LAWSUIT HERE FOR THESE USING BLACKJACK MULLIGANS NAME
I doubt that.
america is NOT the world, fool. this black jack mulligan started in the 60s, not the 70s like old man windham.
This is a British wrestler
@xmathmanx Jack Mulligan was a boiler fitter and a pro wrestler.
The other "Black Jack" Mulligan was Jack Wyndam.
@@jennybates there was an English wrestler by the name of black jack mulligan on TV in the seventies, I doubt copyright applies here
Is it just me, or does The Bulk look strangely familiar? In the eighties, did he wrestle under the name of Tiny Callaghan?
It's Phil Jupitus before he broke into comedy panel shows.
@@herbert9241 😂😂😂
Wait a minute, wait a minute
Black Jack Mulligan eh ?
Hmmm
Somethings fishy and it ain’t the Bulks gear
I think big daddy should have wrestled the macho man winner takes all two warriors together
Big Daddy had the better belly
100% male burp tank …
I believe that Mulligan's real name was Charles Fortesque .....
If anyone asks how British wrestling died, here's the answer.
What you arę talking about british wrestling stiil exist
Iron man clive myers ray steele tony sinclair
Fun fact.....This version of Blackjack Mulligan started smashing watermelons with a mallet after this match.
that is NOT Blackjack Mulligan
Bulk could have crushed Daddy
Looks like people in suits in the Front row. 😅
The Bulk looks totally uninterested in the match,
Wonder how big daddy would have faired in ufc lol
Good acting!
It's tag team and was always for the show, most wrestling was very skilled and I Bet you wouldn't do it.
Phil jupitus sports career wasn't exactly a sucess.
I had a tenner on Big Daddy to win
The Bulk was ripped
Great..
Christ, big daddy was crap
Whatch his match with John eliah
Daddy wouldn’t have survived a splash from the big guy
Must've been after he sucker punched Andre...lol
I can see why Dunham’s hair was getting so thin before he passed. He looks just like his grandpa .. 😂
Is this the blackjack mulligan that’s bray Wyatt’s grandfather
No, it's a British guy. The promoter saw the name in an American wrestling magazine and thought it sounded good. (He did the same with Greg Valentine.)
The legendary Fatty Thomas.
Blackjack Mulligan??....Not quite.
That's not black jack mulligan
It’s what the fellow used. I’m not sure if one can trademark wrestling names, but if Bob Windham could and did with the Mulligan name here in the States, it probably wouldn’t hold up in the UK.
The British had their giants but all fat non athelete except big Daddy when younger and black jack mulligan don't look like a big cowboy to me lol
Well Andre was also fat and barely walking when he get older Giant haystack was better
Big daddy doing his usual sitting on tag rope doing nothing whatva waste of fresh air
dont like it ..dont watch..do one and grow up
U don't know wat u on about
@@nealspilsbury8639 clearly know more than you
@@nealspilsbury8639 you can’t even write proper words 🤣
Watched wrestling for years seen enough morons to last a lifetime
So where's Blackjack Mulligan?
Down n the ground
In the US

Christ that is some shit wrestling !
Back when you could be a pro wrestler despite looking like a homeless wino.
Rigen
One punch off Jackie would have finished the 2 of them he was a pro boxer relative of randy turpin
Comical.
Imagine paying money to see this pish 😮 obviously for the BIF.
dont like it ..dont watch..do one and grow up
This is brilliant @astraman12345678
Lauf
As wrestling matches goes this one is crap
It's bad enough how pathetic this pantomime was, but the worst part is, the Crabtrees were allowed to script it....and as usual, the same old predictive sh*t
What do you mean, this was the epitome of elite physical skill, agility, fluidity and pies!😂
So true they killed british wrestling
The Bulk aka Fatty Thomas
🤣🤣🤣 Yeah that's NOT Black Jack Mulligan
The real Black jack mulligan
Was 6feet 7ins tall a genuine huge guy
Did the UK wrestlers just rip off American wrestler's names? Blackjack Mulligan?
The story is the promoter used to get hold of American magazines to get "inspiration" for ring names. They weren't meant as a scam like the later "tribute" shows because people in those days didn't know the US wrestlers.
@@JNLister Max Craptree bogus name special
