Person Open DS/UK/14816 Jordan; Mike 'Flash' (fl 1970s-1980s); English lightweight wrestler Jordan Mike 'Flash' fl 1970s-1980s English lightweight wrestler Male

He was called Flash Jordan, and for good reason. Speed, skill and agility made a young Mike "Flash" Jordan something of an overnight sensation when he hit Northern rings in the early 1970s. Over the following few years he matured into a fine wrestler who could hold his own with the best in the business. A 1987 win over Johnny Saint at Croydon took Mancunian Mike out of the shadows and handed him the World Lightweight title. Until that time Mike had spent the previous fifteen years as a popular lightweight, but largely ovserhadowed by the likes of Saint and Breaks. Jordan held the title for eight months before losing it back to Saint on 24th May, 1988.
