World of Sport Wrestling back on TV?

Reading all this, even if they don't bring back World of Sport, you three are certainly bringing back women's wrestling.

So many handbags flying lol

Hey Hephaestion

You fancy joining a 4 way?

The only southerner? Would have thought you'd need to join up to make it fairer odds ;)

If I can, not really a tagger, more a lone wolf :p

It will be interesting to see as it was good in it's day - until the Crabtrees wrecked it with the joke duo of Big Daddy and Giant Haystacks. The most notable thing about Shirley was where his tackle disappeared to. I think it was last seen heading for his bum.

Thanks Jonathan. That's us told

I wish they'd get away from the legacy Big F***ing Daddy. A non-wrestler whose ridiculous belly flops brought a once noble tv sport into such disrepute it was hardly a surprise that it lost credibility.

Please let this be a chance to plant in the public consciousness a new generation of great skilled pro wrestlers without make-up, glitter, steroid muscles or signs of early onset Type 2 Diabetes. And without the participating of fading celebs or ex politicians (Although Ed Balls can stay)

agree about big daddy but some make up was ok

skull murphy with the eyes made up..adrian street and bobby barnes were a bit too made up. mick mcmichael tearing the green glitter ringjacket was pure Slade or The Sweet gear

i still preferred the bloke from the pub look...terry rudge or barry douglas

But I am glad you agree with me as always

i never said i did.

you want a fight over it?

I'd like that. Who's my opponent?

That's what I said to him Ed.

i will fight you as well

He's the same on the mat. I say tap - he taps. OK so physical cruelty is involved but let's not split hairs....

doubleteaming in cyberbullying isnt big or clever lads lol

You reckon!

I'll be on the next train to Manchester to participate in the grudge match that will undoubtedly now be required

I'm up for that, can we get a fourth do you reckon?

I'm pretty sure we can.

Mick McMichael tearing off his ring jacket. I am trying to work here y'know

I suspect MMA has replaced it now for a lot of people. I'll look forward to it though because I never got to see WOS first time round.

Worryingly Simon Cowell seems to be sniffing around it too.

You make me feel so old :(

Well as a kid I always had my nose in a book so never watched it in its last years ... I may or may not have been a nerd ;)

So you can feel youthful again :)

That's very kind of you. It may take a little more than that to restore my misspent youth.

I hope it wasn't the Sun you were reading...

Hi Ed - what's the source of this?

The Sun online. And no I don't read it lol.

However there was mention of it on another wrestling site and I googled "World of Sport Wrestling returning" and found numerous articles so it seems to be true.

A likely story not being a Sun reader ... ;)

I find the grammatical constructions too advanced so I just look at the pictures

I read that British wrestling is returning to the nation’s TV screens for the first time in 30 years with a one-off World of Sport special in December 2016. ITV is planning a two-hour special, which will take the same format as the show, which aired on BBC’s Granstand for 20 years. Apparently ITV are showing the special over Christmas featuring some of the UK’s current pro-wrestlers – including The East End Butcher’ Sha Samuels, Dave Mastiff, and ‘Viper’ Kimberley Benson.
