Never seen him.. but I watched it, and I was impressed.

However, here is the Clown Prince of British Wrestling,  the genius that was Les Kellett.
Here, he takes on the outrageously effeminate Bad Boy Bobby Barnes.   Hilarious.

One of the greats of the 90s, MACHO MAN RANDY SAVAGE, here delivering an incomprehensible promo:
Macho Man on Coke!

[Fester]

Macho Man Randy Savage, totally insane and unpredictable ... I loved hm... he's a Chameleon?? .... OOOHH YEEAAHH !!  Dig it!

My 6 year old is obsessed with wrestling! Which is great as it gives me a good excuse to be equally obsessed lol I saw the wrestling recently that came to Venue Cymru in the hall and it was a very good night lots of dun. Nothing to when I was a kid and I saw the great Giant Haysyacks in there, but was still lots of laughs and the time flew, would recommend it to anyone with or without kids

A good friend of mine locally, and retired policeman, remembers a brilliant tale from the 70's when he was called to Colwyn Bay to make an arrest when someone damaged a door at the venue.

He had to arrest Giant Haystacks, (a 7 foot and 43 Stone giant) and the Canadian wrestler, Mighty John Quinn.  (roughly 6ft 10 and 25 stone of muscle)

They came to the station amicably, but they could not fit in the police van, nor could handcuffs fir around their massive wrists.

Another MACHO MAN promo, as requested by Fester:

Halloween Havok Macho Man Interview

We've talked a little about the MACHO MAN RANDY SAVAGE in this thread, one of mine and Fester's favourites. Very sad news, therefore, when we found out that he had been killed in a car crash today, after suffering a heart attack whilst driving. He was 58 years old.

[Fester]

RIP Macho Man... Oooh YEAH...

Long may you hold the undisputed title of Macho KING... and the Heavyweight Wrestling Title Belt, ...wherever you have gone!  WWW WWW

I heard that the Broadway Nightclub were hosting a pro-wrestling event last night.

Despite the show not starting till midnight, I couldn't resist going along as the tickets were only a fiver.
It featured 8 pro-wrestlers from an independent promotion known as Britannia Wrestling Promotions.

A very impressive website actually.

It was poorly advertised, hence the attendance was small, but enthusiastic!
The show itself was excellent.
The wrestlers were in great shape, pulled off some great risky moves and delivered a great performance.

Local photographer Andrew Stuart has kindly sent me a few of the 20 million pictures he took last night, and thanks to him I have attached a couple below.

A wrestling show starting at midnight that is poorly attended. Who'd have guessed?

Dave, it was in a nightclub... they don't open til after 11pm.   So the attendance would have been much lower before 11 would it not? 
Two other reasons for the poor attendance..
1. Llandudno was a ghost town last night.
2, 'certain people' who said they were coming to the show ... decided not to on the day, ahem,

But the Boulevard opens at 7pm when it holds the Youthoria events? https://www.facebook.com/events/156193007781226/

It doesn't take a genius to work out that any sort of event held at midnight is not going to pull in the crowds. The organisers must have made a hefty loss, they won't be coming back...

I would have gone had I been in the country 

Also, they have very good quality Wrestling in the old conference centre at 7 in the evening and that to has been poorly attended both times I have been
