		Haystacks and Daddy didn’t meet that often in the ring, but when they did meet it had the audiences glued to their seats, two of the biggest men not just in British wrestling but in the world would lock horns in the ring.
		He was a sensation and from that moment on Giant Haystacks became a symbol of the rough and tumble world of professional wrestling, his super-splash during which he brought his full weight down on an unfortunate opponent became one of the most feared moves in the game.
		Haystacks was portrayed as a heel from his immense size, but deep down it was Haystacks who was the true gentleman and Daddy who was in many peoples minds that knew him was the “Bastard”.

	BBC - h2g2 - The Immortal Legends of British Professional Wrestling
		In the confines of the ring, Haystacks was a consummate villain who berated both the fans and the babyface wrestlers while using his overwhelming bulk to flatten the opposition.
		Giant Haystacks also attracted a healthy amount of curiosity and urban legend generated by his huge size; it was rumoured at one time that he ate a breakfast of three pounds of bacon and a dozen eggs to maintain his weight and build.
		Martin 'Giant Haystacks' Ruane died of the cancer in December, 1998, aged 52.

	Giant Haystacks
		"Giant Haystacks are one of the Bay Area's finest bands, and this cassette tape, called FCC Violations, compiles two radio appearances, one from May 2005 and one from March 2006 (with new bassist Alan, formerly of Your Mother).
		But the listener will grow to appreciate GIANT HAYSTACKS on their own merits: intricate, tight, quirky, and memorable tunes, incredible musicianship (without sounding show-offy), and vocals that are subtle, friendly, and serious all at once (could it be the Scottish accent?).
		Giant Haystacks, obviously, is one of the good ones that isn't reaching all of the kids that could - should - very well be worshipping this band.

		Most remembered for his long-standing feud with Big Daddy, Haystacks was frequently watched by 10 million viewers on a Saturday afternoon, hauling his massive bulk into the ring and making very short work of his opponent.
		Among his friends was Sir Paul McCartney who asked Haystacks to be in his 1984 film, "Give My Regards To Broad Street" and would often go to wrestling shows with his son in Sussex when the big man was top of the bill.
		Although one of the toughest, roughest opponents of all time on the British wrestling circuit, Giant Haystacks will be sorely missed by grapple fans not only up and down the British Isles, but all over the world.

	Talk Wrestling Online - A reversal of Anglo-American roles?
		Anyway, my point concerns 'professional' wrestling and 'joke' wrestling between the UK scene and the WWE right now (before anyone starts lecturing about puro or lucha, I'm not talking about that, so there's no need for anyone to stick their oar in unless it's about what goes on with the UK and the WWE).
		Anyway, I remember when I was a wee kid, watching Big Daddy take on Giant Haystacks at my gran's house many a time.
		Anyone who was younger and athletic only got so far before Big Daddy or more often Giant Haystacks beat the crap out of them very slowly indeed.

		"GIANT HAYSTACKS is one of my favorite local bands to see - they have this rad energy, which sounds like lame-o hippie talk but I mean it in a smashed-block-on-the-dancefloor-mod-rocker way.
		I rarely say this because I'm no sucker for fidelity, but their songs sound too hot, and I think these guys would totally benefit from clearer recording so their intricacies aren't lost.
