Saint, the greatest ever technical wrestler vs Rocco, the greatest ever bump wrestler. What a privilege to watch these two masters take on each other.

Nice to see Johnny Saint do these bouts against heavier wrestlers. Such a classy wrestler.

Its all just a show

Inverted Piledriver. Wasn't called the Tombstone until 1990 to go with the Undertaker gimmick.

This was what William Regal and Fit Finley grew up with

To my knowledge World of Sport was a block of programming that featured many sports including pro wrestling, and so the name of the show remained the same despite the change from Joint Promotions to All Star Wrestling.

Loved Rocco...and his tombstone piledriver before it was called the tombstone.. best of british.

@@Shannon_Lynchi will have a look at new japan i never really watched it...apart from Dynamite kid vs tiger mask.. i know Rollerball rocco used that piledriver in the late 70's in most of his matches right up until 1988 when they took it off tv.. fit finlay also used it in the mid 80's It was just called a piledriver in English wrestling id only heard it as tombstone when taker debuted. Great stuff though.

Different class.

ganso bomb! dangerous!!! lol excellent match

It was my understanding that ITV (UK channel) started showing All Star in a Round Robin format that went Joint, All Star, WWE, after World of Sport finished in a programme that was just entitled "Professional Wrestling". If this indeed was an All Star match, it wouldn't have been on World of Sport, however... a) I was just a kid, so I could be, and probably am, wrong and b) who cares, it's a great match!!!!

All pro wrestling is fixed has been from day one and still is and always will be

Enjoy the entertainment.

But I posted my comment in 2011, at which time the move had commonly been referred to as a Tombstone for 20 years.

I assume the referee was taking a back hander?

Sick Tombstone driver from Rocco.

inverted piledriver

Since when was a knee drop (for which Johnny Saint got a public warning) illegal?! BTW, that’s the first time I’ve ever seen him receive such a punishment.

that was all arranged in the dressing room before the start

Nice to see Rocco suck up a piledriver.

man this kind of storytelling is just lost today

Once again an exhibition of poor referring

Rocco get on with the wrestling and don't be smart trying to shake hands when it suits you 😒 🙄👎👎

I couldn't be wrong, saying, Rocco fights dirty. Every, wrestling he gets warning. More then one warning and that's a DISGRACE!!!!!!👎👎
