Let's start this thread off with someone in LOW currently.
Johnny Saint vs. Jim Breaks 3-14-73
Jim Breaks is the British Lightweight Champion here. This is a non-title bout and if Saint wins he'll get a title shot at a later date.

I'm going to try to post a few videos a week with this. It's going to be as much of the World of Sport flavor as possible. So, you'll get awful Big Daddy matches and Catweazel antics. Regal talking about it on the Art of Wrestling really got me watching the British style again.
If you like someone in particular, comment and I'll post more of their matches.

Sweet, I haven't seen that Owen Hart match before. It was the first World of Sport match I ever saw.

Giant Haystacks is about the only person Big Daddy ever sold for.

I was surprised to see this thread here. I've been watching a lot of World Of Sport lately and just got done reading the great book by Simon Garfield "The Wrestling" (look it up; you can get a copy on ebay for just a couple dollars).
Here's a great Jim Breaks match with a young Adrian Street. By the time Street came over the the United States he was in his 40s; here he is in arguably his athletic prime. If you don't want to watch the whole clip you should go to about the 4:10 mark and witness one of the quickest, slickest leg takedowns you can ever see.
