PROMOTIONS

Later, top names like Mark "Rollerball" Rocco, Tony St Clair, Wayne Bridges, Giant Haystacks, Marty Jones, Johnny Saint, Mitzi Mueller, Kendo Nagasaki and future WWE superstar Steven Regal began appearing.
After the fall of TV wrestling in the UK in 1988 All Star moved with the times, bringing in stars from North America and Japan, whilst encouraging top home talent and developing a whole generation of new younger stars. All Star had become a popular stopping off point for American globetrotters down the years after "Mighty" John Quinn & "Gorgeous" Terry Garvin blazed the trail.
Since then WWF/WWE names to appear for All Star include Jake "The Snake" Roberts, "Earthquake" John Tenta, Yokozuna, Jim "The Anvil" Neidhart, The Bushwackers and Greg Valentine amongst others.
