– John Lister, author of Have A Good Week… Till Next Week, our Book Of The Week, joins the show to discuss the history of British wrestling on TV!  John talks about how he was able to track down many of England’s legendary wrestlers and get them to open up about their careers.  We hear about some of the biggest stars from the original World Of Sport era, as well as what Big Daddy’s place in history is!
