Battle of the Brits DVD Review

BY Phil Allely

Battle of the Brits is a retro step back in time for fans of the old style UK wrestling scene of the 1970s-1980s. The good old days of Big Daddy etc that saw millions of us sit huddled around the tv with the family on a saturday afternoon. The action was poor by modern standards, few of the wrestlers could jump let alone perform some high flying moves we expect these days. In fact many could barely move due to their fat frames. But we loved them eh!
This release is a two hour plus sleection of some of the periods best matches, yes production values are poor and it is dodgy stuff at times, but for a step back in time and nostalgia alone the disc is very enjoyable and a worthy addition to your collection.
If you search the net or poke around high street stores, you'll find this a cheap dvd and a fun way to spend a few hours, especially in the company of such legends as Giant Haystacks, Bomber Pat Roach and other such UK stars of the time.
