Started an amateur wrestling career at aged 8, and was taught by Billy Robinson

and Karl Gotch, before furthering experience by training in The Snake Pit in

Wigan, under Billy Riley and at the legendary Hart family Dungeon in Calgary,

Alberta. After an outstanding amateur career, turned pro in late teens and

competed across the UK under Joint Promotions. Had various international tours

for Stampede Wrestling in Canada, New Japan Pro Wrestling and even wrestled in

Mexico, headlining a card in a hair vs hair match opposite Perro Aguayo.

Competed on the legendary boxer versus wrestler card that featured Ali against

Inoki, and was a major player in the NJPW Madison Square Garden tag team series

alongside the likes of Andre the Giant, Tatsumi Fujinami and Hulk Hogan, before

being offered a job by Vince McMahon, Sr. Declined full time work for the WWF

out of a love for native Britain, and soon became affectionately known as

‘Number 1’ by the fans, famous for matches with opponents as diverse as

Rollerball Rocco, Dave ‘Fit’ Finlay and Owen Hart, holding the World

Mid-Heavyweight title on seven occasions, amongst many other

internationally-recognised belts, too numerous to mention. Today Jones is

involved with the training of tomorrow’s superstars, and counts William Regal

amongst the many protégés who have been schooled by The Lancashire Lion.

Another great addition from World of Sport. Chuffed with this announcement but not chuffed that I'm not going to this event!

 

Hopefully though it's a good sign that more World of Sport guests can come to other shows as well.
