[8.0] "First match Brian Maxine vs. Steve Wright. Before the match, Maxine seems to be throwing pictures of himself to the crowd. This match is worth watching for the crowd reaction alone they hate maxine and love grey and by the third round as Maxine's cheating increases stewards are having to escort fans back to their seats, at the third round interview the crowd has torn up the pictures or Maxine and thrown them back in the ring. Wright gets the first fall in 45 seconds of round 4 after two "flying headbutts, " which is more like a head first spear in WOS. The crowd is elated. Maxine final gets his first public warning for a closed fist punch to the ribs in the 5th round. At the end of the round after the bell, Maxine gets his 2nd public warning for a forearm to Wright as they break. In the 6th round, Wright lands awkwardly on his left leg from a drop kick. Maxine gets a leg lock on at the first chance, getting the equalising fall in 1m15s. Steve Wright is unable to continue, and Maxine is awarded the matches. He browns more photos to the crowd, which are thrown back into the ring. Next match, and wow, are these 2 remembered in very different ways in 2024! Catchwright contest with the heavier Street vs. Breaks. This is a strange match as it's Heel vs. Heel. Street has the best of the first round working his poor man's Ricky Starr gimmick, but Breaks constant complaining makes the crowd hate him more. By round two Street has dropped the ballet and defaulted to being angry and hard hitting, normally against a face this would work but the crowd wants Breaks to be hit hard and pop for spots like Street stamping on Breaks face. Breaks spends the match working Streets left arm, which in 40 seconds of round 5 leads to a submission fall for Breaks via Breaks special. During the mid round interval, Breaks shouts, "If you can't carry on, get out" to a corus of boos from the crowd. In the 6th round, both are working each other's left arms. Street gets a public warning for a closed fist punch again as the crowd hates Breaks more he gets a pop and at 2m40s of round 6 Street gets the equalising fall from a double reverse arm lever lift againt to a massive pop from the crowd! Breaks is complaining to the ref and pushing Street, who tries to do his bicept taunt to the crowd, but they pop for him again. Ernest lofthouse tries to recover the situation by claiming that in the point 5 nano seconds, he glanced at Street, Street told him that the only reason he didn't win by two straight falls was he's not been back from South Africa for long and hasn't had time to train. Breaks steals the initiative yet again and demands another round. There was some really good wrestling in this match, and Jim Breaks knew his character, stuck to it, and came out of the match more hated than when he started. Conversely, Street was unable to get the crowd reactions he wanted and is now accidentally leaning tweener. Terry Rudge vs. Les Thornton, the story of the first round is Rudge working the arm lock and everything Thornton tries to get out of it fails, the match is pretty hold for hold until Thornton tries for a high cross body but Rudge catches and slams him for the first fall in 2m10s of round 2. In the 4th round, Kent is talking about Thornton bleeding. It wasn't particularly obvious but still notable as the oldest surviving itv wrestling with blood. There is what I'm assuming is a botch leading to the second fall as Rudge runs at Thornton, who catches him and tries to drop him on his knee, but Rudge's moment sends them both sliding across the ring. Thornton then repeats the backdrop onto the knee to get the second fall in 2m35s of round 4. Rudge is groggy through the remaining 55 seconds of round 5, before long, he fails victim to another back drop on the knee, and Thornton wins 2-1, don't think this was broadcast last but it was certainly filmed last as the crowd are off for the last bus home as the 3 count is completed. Interesting in this match that Kent claims that Thornton is just back from America, when he's actually just back from Japan, and that he's the North American champ, which he didn't become for another three months but Joint Promotions love a completely made up title reign."
