World Of Sport Wrestling

British wrestling returns to ITV with World of Sport special featuring WWE legend Jim Ross - Mirror Online

"Names already confirmed to follow in the footsteps of Rollerball Rocco, Mick McManus, Johnny Saint and co. include 'Liverpool's No.1' Zack Gibson, the 'Masked Mexican' El Ligero and the 'East End Butcher' Sha Samuels.

They will be joined by top grapplers such as 'The Black Country Beast' Dave Mastiff, Leeds powerhouse Rampage Brown, 'The Pound For Pound Best' CJ Banks, Birmingham dynamo Ashton Smith, 'Delicious' Danny Hope and the formidable Scottish siren Viper."

They tried televising UK wrestling back in the 00's, but the problem was, it couldn't compete with the glitz and glamour of the WWF wrestling, and the audeince 'didn't seem to get it', so it ended up being unwatchable

Brit wrestling has come a long way in a few years, still not the razzmatazz of WWE but the wrestling itself is so much more fun, as long as they put it on post 9pm and don't try to make it family friendly, no Saturday afternoon kiddie show please, we could be in for a treat.

It does look now that TNA is pretty much done this time, Challenge TV have cancelled Impact from Jan. 2017, also their deal with India will end if they don't tour there by the end of 2016.

(Challenge posted viewing figures for impact, it's no longer even in their top ten on Sundays, easily beaten by the likes of Bullseye and other old game shows, tho Broken Matt Hardy still has a future in wrestling looks like TNA doesn't)

This would be circa 2006

The main match at Survivor Series 2016 - Brock Lesnar Vs. Goldberg

This was it!

The full match!!

85 seconds!!!

What a disappointment for those who were predicting this would be the match of the year

Yep, that means two things,
1 Goldberg will stay on and battle Brock again.
2 they will meet for the last time at Wrestlemania and surprise surprise... Brock will bash Goldberg to bits 'forcing' Goldberg to retire... again

If WWE were still doing PPV the flack would be intense over this.

Apparently Goldberg has signed up to take part in the Royal Rumble in January. If he wins that, he will get a shot at a championship match at Wrestlemania, which potentially will lead to a rematch with Lesnar!
