Did they also shorten the programme when they moved it to lunchtime i believe they did, but I still watched every week then American wrestling began on British TV even more fixed that was.
It was all worked, British and American alike. Not fixed, that implied a fraudulent "knobbling" of what should have been a legitimate sporting contest. Wrestling, professional wrestling at least, ceased to be that in the 1920s. It was/is entertainment. That's not to say some of the wrestlers weren't tough. Some were very tough it's just that it had no bearing on the matches.
So how come you could never bet on wrestling matches then? The bookies knew that the winner had already been decided before they entered the ring. I don't say EVERY match was fixed but most were.
@@djgaryowens you have misunderstood me Gary. ALL matches were predetermined you're right, but fixed is not the right term. The term used in the buisness is worked. You can't "fix" a pro wrestling match because there's really no such thing. Its entertainment. If a match is not worked you will hear it described as a shoot but In pro wrestling that is exceptionally rare.
