"Jackie Powell(?) and Rick McManus(?) were always away wrestling, always it used to be every… it was every Saturday or every Sunday down at the ummmm. I used to go with my grandmother or my mother. And umm I mean Jackie Powell had long, blond hair with curls and ummm Rick McManus was short, fat and hairy bless his heart and socks. And it was a show. I mean they were both showman but you know they were renowned for their wrestling matches. And you know if you went back and looked back at wrestlings, the wrestling matches at Shoreditch Channel they would be on there. They were the only two that I could remember as a child. You know. So it was quite…Shoreditch town hall is the most phenomenal place. It’s lovely."
