LDN Wrestling will be providing the wrestlers, so the UK's current biggest names likely won't feature.
The taping's likely to be a pilot to see if ITV will commit to a full series. Not really sure what the market for it would be today.

I hope people like RJ Singh, Dave Mastiff, Nathan Cruz, Noam Dar, Mark Andrews, El Ligero, Stixx and others will be on there, start from almost scratch, who knows it may work.

This has been the dream of British wrestling for so long, I really hope it goes well however with sticking to the old school rules and also with mentioning Kendo and Saint I kinda fear that it'll be old men grappling rather than British wrestling at the moment. British wrestling has moved on and has followed in the footsteps of Roccoball in a more acrobatic and Japanese style rather than the hold for hold go of WOS.
But if this gets to air along with the Alex Shane indie extravaganza on Challenge, off topic but does anyone else think that Alex Shane is a detriement to British wrestling rather than a positive, thats a lot of British wrestling on tv.
Also I found there new top star. I give to you Cyanide
PUT THAT MAN IN A TOP HAT PRONTO!
(Also Josh Bodom is going to be the next ZSJ or Devitt mark my words)

How would/does Alex Shane work to British wrestling's detriment? |

How would/does Alex Shane work to British wrestling's detriment? The FWA had a quite nasty stranglehold on wrestling for the longest time when he was running it and the shows were always about him rather than the wrestling. Also Wrestle Talk TV flat out is terrible, there are podcasts with better insight and interviews than it, and needs a serious overhaul to be even close to good. And from the mouths of promoters I've heard how shitty the indy show is towards them. |

I suppose it's good news but I just don't trust ITV, at least it won't be as bad as celebrity wrestling.

A guy I know who does ring announcing for an indy near me was trained by Alex Shane and said he was so into his own hype, he quit and found another trainer.
But back to the OP, this is nothing but good news, but I hope it doesn't turn out like the Gladiators reboot from a few years ago.

Mastiff is the daddy. We bonded over a shared love of Biffy Clyro.

I would be excited, but it'll probably air at 1am on ITV4 or something.
