For over twenty years of Saturday tea times in the UK, World Of Sport Wrestling on ITV was essential viewing for grapple fans until interest in the British version of the sport waned and it was taken off the air... but interest in UK wrestling has grown in recent years and now World Of Sport Wrestling is back! posted by fearfulsymmetry (6 comments total) 8 users marked this as a favorite
 
Have to watch the whole of Giant Haystacks B Big Daddy. Watched every Saturday and can hear the music already before I click. This is my vintage.

WWE Is In A Fight To Control The Future Of British Wrestling is a good roll-up for Americans.

I went to see an ICW bout in Edinburgh a couple of years back - most fun I've had in an evening in a very, very long time!

My dad used to use the timing of WoSW so he could get some gardening in on a saturday afternoon, then collapse in front of the TV for the wrestling with a beer glass full of hot orange squash. Sunday afternoon gardening was timed for Ski Sunday, but only to watch the crashes.
