WOS Wrestling will be jam-packed with the UK’s top names in the sport, competing in a fun-filled evening of family Sports Entertainment.
Tom McLennan, Creative Director, ITV Studios Entertainment:
“There is a massive indie wrestling scene in the UK and a strong nostalgia for the wrestling shows of our youth. WOS Wrestling will combine the best of the past with incredible talent available today to make a fun, exciting and thrilling show that the whole family can enjoy.”
Fingers crossed this isn’t over produced to buggery in the intervening months between filming and air date. Though they’ve called it a Sport, which is a start I suppose...and then McMahonised it in the same sentence.
Actually, they’ve hit all bases (Sport, Sports Entertainment, wrestling, FUN FOR ALL THE FAMILY). Needs a “wholesome” in there.
