He's so old I would guess that even his wig has gone grey !

Any reply from Premier, Chris?
Incidentally, just a thought, if All-Star were to upgrade Robbie Dynamite's middleweight _title_ to a heavy-middleweight _title_, then we would have a complete set of British Champions for all 7 weight divisions for the first time since Mike Marino's death in '81:
Lightweight: Steve Grey Welterweight: Johnny Storm Middleweight: Mal Sanders Heavy-Middleweight: Robbie Dynamite Light-Heavyweight: Alan Kilby Mid-Heavyweight: Majik (Hammerlock UK Jr Heavyweight champion - nearest equivalent) Heavyweight: Robbie Brookside

Interesting point there - however, the NWA-UK Heavyweight champion Johnny Moss is unrecognised in that list which I thik does the _title_ a supreme injustice. NWA is a worldwide organisation and is probably the only _title_ in the UK with international recognition to a greater extent. Please understand, that is no slur in any way on the other _title_s - I'm just making a point about the NWA-UK _title_. I agree Robbie is the Univerally recognised champion in the UK.

At Stoke I've hear Robbie Dynamite's _title_ described as middleweight, heavy-middleweight and mid-heavyweight at various points.
Could just be my ageing ears though...

Does he come out with a Mountevans _title_ belt or a modern belt? If it's the former, does it look anything like the old British Heavy-middleweight _title_ belt (green strap with square-shaped plates IIRC, but check old photos/videos )?
Of course, one big advantage for All Star of RD's _title_ being confirmed as the Brit HM champ would be the fact that Chic once held the _title_! (And his _title_ loss to Dave Finlay, shown in full, took up an entire episode of ITV Wrestling in late '87!)
And if Danny Collins ever wrestled Robbie Dynamite for the _title_, it would neatly _link_ up the two generations of the championship. (Mind you, Sanders and Maxine could do that with the Middleweight _title_ too.)

I haven't had the chance yet as I've hardly been around to do anything. I will, however, be trying my best to get the clarification tonight.
The problem of making Dynamite's _title_ the Heavy-Middleweight is the confusion it would cause on All Star shows. Considering they're running their World Heavy-Middleweight _title_ tournament, the crowd could get easily confused if, on the same show, Dynamite was announced as British Heavy-Middleweight. So until they finish the tournament, I can't see that happening.
