British Wrestling 1955 to 1988 The Final Bell (17 Dec 1988)
After 33 years, ITV's exclusive association with wrestling comes to an end when Greg Dyke brings down the axe. Kent Walton, who commentated from day one, looks back at some of the great names and contests in those 33 years. There is the skill and power of the heavyweights such as Mike Marino and Tibor Szakacs, the outrageous razzmatazz of Adrian Street and Bobby Barnes and the irresistible humour of Les Kellett. Men, too, with their own personal trademark - Billy Two Rivers, Johnny Kwango, ballet-dancing sensation Ricky Starr and the formidable tag partnership of Mick McManus and Steve Logan. More than 20 matches and a host of memories make this a must for all grappling fans.
