Description
Kendo Nagasaki signed 18×25 limited edition poster Images of Nagasaki by Paul Yates contains clues to the persona of Kendo Nagasaki and also features a statement of Sir Peter Blake and a poem by Paul Yates. The original and best-known use of the gimmick is by the British wrestler who made his name in ITV’s World of Sport. He started professional wrestling in November 1964, and became a household name in Britain after his television debut in 1971. He also toured Japan in 1968 (under the alternative ring name Mr Guillotine) and North America in 1972, wrestling for Stu Hart’s Stampede Wrestling where he held the promotion’s North American title and Don Owen’s Pacific Northwest Wrestling. Back home in Britain, he achieved even greater fame due to his 1975-1977 feud with the tag team of future mutual arch enemies Big Daddy and Giant Haystacks, as well as his December 1977 televised voluntary unmasking ceremony. All autographs come with a Certificate of Authenticity. We combine postage on multiple winning lots and can ship worldwide. UK postage from £5.99, EU from £7.99, Rest of World from £9.99
