Great Britain’s Iconic World of Sport Wrestling Set to Make a Comeback at Croydon’s Fairfield Halls Sunday 17th November 2013

Ware, Hertfordshire, UK, 20th September 2013

World of Sport Wrestling, an iconic British ITV brand, is set to make a comeback Sunday 17th November 2013 at Croydon’s Fairfield Halls. The event marks the first new World of Sport Wrestling taping in 28 years.

ITV’s World of Sport Wrestling broadcast from 1955 to 1985, and drew huge ratings with an average viewership of 8.5 million; at its peak an audience of 18 million tuned in for the 1981 Big Daddy vs. Giant Haystacks match at Wembley. Other British wrestlers such as Mick McManus, Jackie “Mr TV” Pallo, Kendo Nagasaki, Les Kellett, and “Bomber” Pat Roach all became household names. So popular was World of Sport Wrestling that a 1968 event held at the Royal Albert Hall featured Prince Phillip, the Duke of Edinburgh, as a guest of honour.

World of Sport Wrestling utilises a highly respected technical style drawn up by the late Admiral Lord Mountevans in the Committee Rooms of Great Britain’s Houses of Parliament. The comeback event at Croydon’s Fairfield Halls, which is being taped for ITV, will feature new wrestlers, but promises to be in the spirit of the original World of Sport Wrestling, utilizing the Mountevans rules.

Flying in exclusively to wrestle the Mountevens style is international superstar Matt Kaye (formally Matt Striker). World of Sport Wrestling legend Johnny Kidd is also scheduled to wrestle. World of Sport Wrestling legend Johnny Saint, the man widely considered the world’s greatest technical wrestler, is appointed as a special guest referee. Steve Grey and a number of other World of Sport Wrestling legends will also be making a special appearance. Veteran British wrestling commentator Lee Bamber is scheduled to attend and get back behind the microphone. Master of ceremonies Steve Lytton and “Ukulele” John Atkins are also scheduled to appear.

Tickets for this family friendly event are priced at £12 adults, £10 concessions, and £40 for a family of four. Tickets may be purchased via the Fairfield Halls website fairfield.co.uk, or alternatively telephone the Fairfield Halls box office on 020 8688 9291 (booking fee may apply). Tickets will also be available on the door, subject to availability. Doors open Doors 2pm, and the event commences 3pm.
