Are we sure Big Daddy was 6'6?
- I'm sure he wasn't. I met him at Bath in about 1978 and while he was taller than me he certainly didn't tower over me. 6'2" or 6'3" would be more the mark. Also, this page quotes his chest measurement at 62" and 64". One of these is probably wrong. :) Captain Pedant 10:22, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

Big Daddy's Brother
Is there any chance we could hunt down some information about Big Daddy's brother, Brian Crabtree? He used to be the Master of Ceremonies on most of the main wrestling matches on World of Sport, and was indeed MC on some of the matches Big Daddy participated in.

Heel Big Daddy
I know Big Daddy was a heel when he first appeared as Big Daddy and he tagged with (none other than) Giant Haystacks. So shouldn't that be included in the artical? The C of E (talk) 16:57, 14 January 2009 (UTC)
Margaret Thatcher said...
"Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom was said to be a fan of Big Daddy, as was then Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, who is said to have quoted him several times during union negotiations in 1983 regarding the long-term unemployed."
This has to be a joke surely? While I can buy the idea of these two ladies liking him (wrestling was a very popular spectator sport among British women of that generation), the notion of Maggie T quoting Big Daddy during an actual political debate sounds about as credible as Gordon Brown quoting the Chuckle Brothers. 81.151.103.99 (talk) 18:55, 5 December 2009 (UTC)
