In the latest 'Legends Masterclass' Episode 2, I sit down with another true legend of the Golden Era of pro-wrestling, Tony St. Clair. In part 1 of this two part interview, we discuss Tony's love for attending wrestling reunions and getting to catch up with many of his wrestling colleagues from the 70's, 80's and 90's. Tony discusses growing up in a wrestling family, with his father and brother taking him under their wing from a very early age. We take a look at the pro-wrestling landscape from the 1960's onwards, teaming with his brother and working the various wrestling groups in the 1970's and 80's and the rivalries that existed between during that era. Tony tells us about becoming World Heavyweight champion and a 4 time British Heavyweight Champion, including a reign that lasted for nearly 9 years. We talk about Tony's legendary career in Germany and how he went on to become one of the most beloved pro-wrestlers in the country, with his legendary feud with Fit Finlay that lasted for two decades. Plus, so much more! (Duration 47 minutes) This was a truly eye opening experience talking with Tony in episode 2 of 'Legend's Masterclass Series' and it was only part one of two. PART TWO will be dropping on all platforms Friday 2nd September 2022 - Where we will be discussing his time wrestling for New Japan Pro Wrestling and the many fantastic matches and friendships his had over 30 years in Japan. We look at many of his favourite matches and wrestlers to be in the ring with. Including, Rollerball Rocco, Robbie Brookside, Owen Hart and Fit Finlay.

In what is sure to be one of many episodes on the subject, this week we begin to talk about Fit Finlay. In true Gentleman Villain form the episode takes a segue into the history of British Wrestling in the 80's where we learn about the similarities between the American territories at the time and the UK "territories" and the influence of World of Sport. Among the massive documentation and education we learn of when Mr. Regal first saw Fit Finlay, met FInlay, and wrestled Finlay. It is a true story of a portion of wrestling history that many fans are unaware of, and an education you can always expect to find on the Gentleman Villain Podcast, with William Regal.
