Indeed. I didn’t know that until recently when I read Nagasaki’s autobiography.

In Kayfabe: The master and the student fell out in 1966 because the Count was a gentleman whereas Nagasaki brutalised opponents. Count Bartelli set out to teach his student a lesson, but it backfired and he ended up being the unmasked one. In reality, Geoff Condliffe trained Peter Thornley. Condliffe was fed up of wearing a mask and wanted to give his prize student a head start in his career, so he lost his mask to his student and it was like winning a first title for Nagasaki.

Correct, also Kendo apparently worked with the count at a garage near Nantwich, Cheshire

The Klondykes were going back to the 1960s. Before them there was Docker Don Steadman. After Giant Haystacks et all, there were the UK Pitbulls and after them the Henchmen whoa re big in 2020s All Star. There were always superheavies in America like Bundy & Blackwell, Bundy & Stuff, Bundy & OMG, the Twin Towers, Natural Disasters, Collosal Kongs, Men On A Mission.

What ability?

Its obvious that they knew who was gonna win before they started, could anyone ever find a bookie who would take a bet on a wrestling match?

When you say "MOM" it seems to say your not British - just a liar (or a bit dim).
