Pro wrestling in America is a multi-billion dollar business. Pro
wrestling in Britain is skint and hasn't been on national
television since the days of Big Daddy and Giant Haystacks. For
British Wrestling, a resurrection is long overdue. But with no
money and no TV deal, the revival was never going to be easy...
Greg Lambert was just a wrestling fan until one night, he
innocently turned on the radio and life was never the same again.
As Britain's unlikeliest ring villain and head of its most famous
wrestling company, the FWA, Greg embarked on the quest for British
Wrestling's Holy Grail - a five-year odyssey of ecstatic highs,
depressing lows, extreme violence, financial meltdown and
encounters with wrestling superstars like CM Punk, Daniel Bryan,
Mick Foley, Bret 'The Hitman' Hart and Jake 'The Snake' Roberts.
Crammed with Greg's personal experiences, opinion and insight into
some of the biggest British Wrestling events, issues and
personalities of the past decade, this is the inside story of how a
hungry new generation of UK wrestlers fought to emerge from the
shadows. This is the true story of British Wrestling's revival.
