June 30, 1976's edition of World of Sport saw Alan Dennison take on Dynamite Kid.
I believe this was Dynamite Kid's television debut.

The wonderful voice of Kent Walton. Forever associated with Saturday afternoons in the 1970s before the footie results.

The great Alan Dennison who sadly passed away as early as 1984. Tommy Billington ended up with WWF on steroids and died in 2018. Two great wrestlers.

My Mam and Dad went to watch the Wrestling at King's Hall Belle Vue Manchester . One of the bouts was Alan Dennison. During the bout, Mr Dennison winked at my Mam. She told my Dad, he's just winked at me, and my Dad. Who was really protective.,and a little bit jealous af anything like this said to her " what do you want me to do about it" . Just a little bit of fun. Mr Alan Dennison was an absolute gentleman.

Saw both of these guys live back in the day. Dennison was one of my big favourites and it was such a shame when he died so early. As for the Dynamite Kid. This how I remember him when he wrested in the UK. Who knows what went into his body when he went to the states, whatever it was its wrecked his body

I’ve never heard The Kid called “Tommy Darren”. Everyone knows his real name was Tommy Billington.

A very sporting gesture by Alan Dennison. He knew this lad showed promise and did what any decent human being would have done. Love and Respect from Steve xXx

Up until this point Dennison was a villain known for using his wristbands as weapons (as Kent Walton mentions) and tag teaming as The Dennisons with Cyanide Syd Cooper. This match was Dennison's turn to blue-eye (babyface) and it led to him mentoring Davey Boy in his feud with Jim Breaks and ultimately Dennison's own feud with Breaks and him winning the British Welterweight title in the early 80s.

This was a way of getting the Kid over and turning Dennison face at the same time.

A decade later & the Dynamite Kid would be a co-holder of the WWF (WWE) Tag Team Championship with Davey Boy Smith.

I'm surprised by how good this looks being from 1976. Sadly, there is very little footage that exists from Pro Wrestling in the United States in the 70's. Many of the territories would wipe and record over their tapes. It was common practice. It's a shame because so much great history was lost. I would give my left arm to see all the tv tapings from Mid-Atlantic wrestling from the mid to late 1970's!

What exactly happened to his throat at the end? I've seen the Snake Eyes maneuver before and this didn't look like it as far as how he landed

This must of been the turning point point for Alan from dirty wrestler to clean. Both wrestlers taken far to soon.

I remember when Alan Dennison was a heel, and hurt his neck fighting Kung Fu. Only to have a manipulation of his neck by Kung Fu, to sort the neck problem out and therefore was never a heel again. Just saying. I saw this on Saturday afternoon wrestling.. Anyone else remember?

Sad seeing DK go from this to where he ended up. In a wheelchair and a bitter old man.

He had every right to be aggrieved at Davey and Diana over the way they behaved.

Steve Wright? Alex Wright's dad?

@kurtvanderbogarde8402 5 жыл бұрын

The same. Steve's brother/Alex's uncle Bernie Wright was another great wrestler. All three are now living in Germany and running a succesful wrestling school over there.

Here's a playlist of both Steve and Bernie Wright's matches. Sadly none of the early 70s Steve in his frisky prime, just him as "German" heel Bull Blitzer circa 1986 and then wrestling *in* Germany against Fit Finlay in 1990. kzfaq.info/sun/PL3DE6269ECA08542C
