RJ Impact Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 Would guess its just a story, similar to matt striker claiming that Vince McMahon discovered Drew McIntyre on a golf trip with Donald Trump in Scotland (Dunno where or why a wrestler would be at a golf course but thats striker for ya).

Paid Members Arch Stanton Posted April 26, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted April 26, 2011 Wade Barrett worked as a recruitment consultant in London before signing his WWE developmental contract. Considering he started wrestling in his early 20s, I very much doubt any of his bare-knuckle fighting back story is true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Rob Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 Anyone interested in seeing some of Regal's days on the "docks" of Blackpool as the Masked Destroyer, I posted these two videos of it on Youtube here: Part One Part Two  Regal's challenger looks awfully like Drew McDonald!

Paid Members Bellenda Carlisle Posted April 26, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted April 26, 2011 I thought they just made up the bare knuckle thing as an excuse for why his nose is so fucked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â I got no idea if it is true or not, but he started wrestling when he was 23. I see no reason why he couldn't have done bare knuckle fighting before that?

britishwrestlinglegends Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 Anyone interested in seeing some of Regal's days on the "docks" of Blackpool as the Masked Destroyer, I posted these two videos of it on Youtube here: Part One Part Two Regal's challenger looks awfully like Drew McDonald! Cheers for that, Rob, really fun! I know a little bit about the old Blackpool scene as i talked at length with one of the wrestlers who was stood on the stage in that footage, he lives in Blackpool & worked the Pleasure Beach for years.  The money collected for a (bogus) fighter, was called dobbings. Don"t think they had them at Blackpool? It was more of a Fairground thing?  The "Challenges" were staged, but not always. A wrestler called Jamaica George would take punters on, he would be sneaky though! Instead of playing the villain & risking a riot, If a punter would not take no for an answer. He would play babyface, Smiling & Shaking hands before scurffing him on the canvas that look fairly harmless but put the big mouth right in his place!  They also had another trick for anyone who insisted on fighting. They would send him to the "Dressing Room", which was a fire exit. A solid right hook would be waiting for him & even if he was not knocked out. The location of the door meant that it took ages for a freshly punched challenger, to walk all the way around the Pleasure Beach. By which time the show was already over.  Although a lot of what i have wrote is secondhand info, it does come from a reliable source & I also have witnessed the Blackpool & Fairground "Challenges" for myself.

Â And reading the interview it states he lived in Liverpool for a while to bare knuckle box. Some of his tweets reference areas and events of liverpool (such as calling himself the "King of the Smithdown 10" on Twitter - http://twitter.com/WadeBarrett/status/56844771804712960).
