Hello. What famous wrestlers come from Scotland or are Scottish in origin besides Rowdy Roddy Piper?

ROB ROY MacGregor was reputedly a great backhold wrestler, but the greatest ever athlete to come from these shores, is the great 'Donald Dinnie'.

Who? Can't be very famous, I've never heard of him.

Mick McManus used to be well known, but I've no idea if he was Scottish despite the name.

I THINK he means that american pish they call 'professional wrestling'. Thats not real wrestling, its just a farcical and very badly acted sports-based 'soap-opera', where ugly people get to be stars, whilst not actually doing much 'wrestling'.

Oh, I see. I thought he meant an actual sport, not that pathetic play-acting.

With a name like Rowdy Roddy Piper I suspect it wiz a foregone conclusion that the 'famous Scot' was famous only in America
