A night of Local Wrestling and Questionable Genders
Friday was a real treat for me. A Wrestling promotion came to town. Warrington was once famous for wrestling being the birth place of The Dynamite Kid and hosting wrestling shoes with stars such as Bret and Owen Hart. However, the glory days are long gone and you’re lucky to get even a sniff of Wrestling in town.
Undoubtedly I went and met up with a few friends of mine, some avid fans, some who haven’t watched wrestling since the glory days of the Attitude Era.
We got to the event, which was held in a function room of a large event hall, with around a hundred fans, mostly children, lined on pub chairs to see the show. Hosted by a local aspiring comedian, the card had six matches ranging from a cruiserweight triple threat to a Casket match with a witch doctor named Voodoo.
The matches were at a rather good standard. Ranging from the more or less average to the pretty damn impressive. The most impressive thing about wrestling was the will to take umpteen bumps on to the hard floor. With one wrong slip, somebody could have been seriously injured, making me admire the kahonies (no homo) of everybody involved.
A fun night was had by all, which leads me to my last point. I beg everybody to go and support local wrestling anyway they can. You’ll get an enjoyable evening and will be able to support an art form that has somewhat been lost in Britain. It’s time to bring it back and with your support we can. If you just go to one of these shows, you won’t regret it. Promise.
Oh yeah, the questionable gender part of the article. It took us all show to work out whether the rather rotund official was male or female. Indeed he was female and credit when credits due, officiated six matches, rather well.
Until next time, enjoy the show.
Daniel Morris.
