A regional journalist and wrestling fan has written a book about the sport’s revival in the United Kingdom.

Greg Lambert, who works as content editor at sister weeklies the Lancaster Guardian and Morecambe Visitor, has penned Ropes and Glory: The Emotional Rise of British Wrestling.

The book is second about wrestling, and he has also been a commentator, ring announcer and performer on the UK wrestling circuit for 15 years.

He also used to organise the regular wrestling shows at venues in Lancashire.

Said Greg: “Some people don’t give pro wrestling enough respect. This book will open their eyes.

“So many people have sacrificed so much to get British wrestling back on television.

“It has been the ambition of British wrestlers and promoters for years.

“This is the story of the twists and turns, the highs and lows, the triumphs and tragedies that happened along the way.”
