All Star Superslam Wrestling

[Thorpe Groyney]

Oh yes, grip and grapple fans, I'm taking Chipper to the wrestling tomorrow at the Towngate, where we've been promised a Britain v Hollywood Once And For All Showdown.

This is much more like the wrestling we knew and loved. Smoky town halls, grannies with their brollies, bloated middle aged blokes well past their sell-by date in just trunks and boots showing off their disgusting torsos. It promises to be the best night's entertainment of the year.

Who else prefers the old-style out of condition fat wrestlers tha'd be useful in a pub brawl as opposed to the over-greased, over-egoed athletes who'd run at the first sign of a flying beer glass?

I don't care whether or not you're interested I'm going to tell you anyway. It was a damn fine night of entertainment. I have to say, though, that The Big Vitto, a transvestite, who came into the ring with 'Dancing Queen' blaring out, was somewhat unedifying. The dwarf fighting a 30 stone blob was great fun.

Highlight, though, was a genuinely top-rank wrestler. Can't remember his nickname but he's called Doug Willoiams. Chipper recognised him straight away from TNA Wrestling, which is apparently a rival to WWE and shown on cable here. You could see by the fact he was all muscle and not 5 stone of flab, and done all the moves twice as quickly as anyone else, that he really was a skilled wrestler.

It didn't stop all the fights being scripted and acted out to perfection with the various good guys v bad guys, though, in the best traditions of grip-and-grapple, but everyone went home tremendously entertained and for £22 for Chipper and I it was money well spent.

But tranny fights? That will haunt me for some time .....
