Mike Marino (born 8 October 1921 as Michael Harrison[1] – died 24 August 1981[2]) was an English professional wrestler and a leading name during the World of Sport era in British wrestling.

[4] Mike Marino appeared on the first televised wrestling match in the United Kingdom, a bout against Francis Gregory at West Ham Municipal Baths (now Atherton Leisure Centre) on Wednesday 9 November 1955.

A regular on the main shows at the Royal Albert Hall, Marino was recognised as one of British wrestling's leading technicians of the era.

With British wrestling still operating full kayfabe, such stories exposing the scripted nature of the sport were common in the tabloids at the time.

[4] He had been booked to wrestle Big Jim Harris at the town's Leas Cliff Hall but after being adjudged unable to perform was taken to Ashford Hospital where he was treated for a swollen tongue.
