tony kelly here in dublin formerly of birmingham and joint promotions. i am sad to learn of the death of tommy moore or jack dempsey as we all knew him. what a wrestler he was. i have spoken to the donlevy brothers mike & Seamus and they do are saddened to hear of the death of Tommy. Seamus will be attending Jacks funeral. REST IN PEACE.TOMMY.

One guy I'd always hoped I'd meet during my trips to Wigan for the summer Marc Bolan convention there, but never got the chance.

A true Wigan Snakepit ripper up there with Karl Gotch and Billy Robinson who never got the international reputation of those two because of the American disdain for the lower weights. A British Wrestler in the purest sense who took pride in his athletic integrity. In short, the polar opposite of what it takes to be a WWE superstar these days.

And on top of that - as anyone who ever saw the 1989 First Tuesday item The Wigan Hold will confirm - a lovely sweet old guy.

RIP Tommy

One of the top five greatest wrestlers we have produced. We are talking of the Assirati, Robinson, Joyce, Riley class.
