British Wrestlers Reunion

 

 Wrestling with the Angels

 

 

Here you will find a list of all of the British Wrestlers and Officials who are sadly no longer with us.  These great gladiators  are immortalized by their work within the ring and are embedded in our hearts and thoughts forever.  This is our small tribute to those great men, who will  live on in the annals of wrestling history.  If there are any omissions please let us know by going to our contacts page. 

 

Thank-you.

 

Please switch your sound on before scrolling, as we trust  the music that we have added will enhance  the tremendous sense of loss of these great characters ,while you observe a few quiet minutes reflecting on your own personal memories and feelings for those who were taken from us. This beautiful and poignant piece is called 'Go West' by Annie Lennox.
