10 Reasons Why ITV Should Bring Back British Wrestling

6. Return Of The Grannies

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pz-qYwJUGPo Stepping out of the ring for a second, let's talk about the fans. They're a special breed. Baying for blood and showing slavish devotion to their favourites , they're sometimes more entertaining than the two combatants biffing each other, While our American cousins may have perfected the art of the plant-that is to say someone posing as a rabid supporter-we Brits could up the ante. And indeed we did the first time round on ITV. When it came to letting the ladies and gentlemen in the ring know what they thought of them nobody did it better than the notorious grannies. These little old ladies were a credit to their vocation. Handbagging and insults were just some of the practices you wouldn't expect to see women of a certain age indulging in but these brilliant eccentrics played their part beautifully. It seems cruel not to at least offer some of 2013's pensioners the chance to replicate it. Your nan will thank you for the opportunity, honest to God.
