The Morecambe Wrestling Podcast

Revolution Pro Wrestling are bringing 'Bash at the Bay' to Morecambe Football Club on Bank Holiday Sunday May 24. This historic show will be the first professional wrestling event ever to be held on the football pitch outdoors at the Mazuma Mobile Stadium. Promoter Andy Quildan has, for the past 14 years, built Rev Pro into Europe's number one wrestling promotion. But prior to that, Andy's big break in British wrestling - much like our own Greg Lambert - was with the FWA. As a teenager, Andy was a regular at The Morecambe Dome in 2004 and 2005, refereeing TV matches involving names such as Doug Williams, Steve Corino, Colt Cabana and Alex Shane. He says this baptism in professional wrestling taught him well, and he has never forgotten his Morecambe roots. Andy sits down with Greg to remember those early days with fondness and look ahead to what will be a historic full circle moment for him - personally and professionally - when he returns to the town next month. Topics include: The revolutionary style 24 hour days Tickets to WWF Dolls houses Consumed 'That will do' mentality "I knew it was rubbish." Barking, Dagenham and Croydon Old School vs New School The British ECW Dynamite Kid box set The famous Alex Shane match Favourite place to referee Internet promotion Innocence Caught in the magic Andy's 18th birthday in Morecambe Shedding the butler attire Aspirin "Am I bleeding mate?"

Deadly rivals Craig Kollins and Andre Dekker are in The Morecambe Wrestling Podcast studio for a face-to-face interview ahead of their No Disqualification grudge match at Odyssey Pro Wrestling War on the Shore on April 11 at Alhambra Live in Morecambe. Both men also talk individually about some of the biggest moments in their respective careers, which have led us to this point. But can they remain professional when they enter the studio together?

Roy Knight is part of a wrestling family known the world over. In 2019 the irrepressible Knights of Norwich went from council estate to Hollywood with the release of Fighting With My Family - the film about their lives - which became a UK box office number one smash. Then in 2023, the Knight family enjoyed an unforgettable night of celebration in front of more than 80,000 people at AEW All In at Wembley Stadium. These two huge highlights were just reward for a family who have dedicated their lives to professional wrestling. Roy's own career has seen him wrestle all over the world and for many of the top UK promotions. He has been The Zebra Kid and a UK Hooligan, competing in thousands of matches in a more than 30-year period. And he was the first of five members of his family - alongside dad Ricky Knight, stepmum Sweet Saraya, brother Zak 'Zodiac' Knight and sister Britani Knight (better known as Paige in WWE and Saraya in AEW) - to wrestle for FWA or XWA in Morecambe. In fact, his match with US star Chris Hamrick on the very first FWA show at The Dome in 2003 helped shape the Morecambe Wrestling we know and love today. In this exclusive interview, Roy reminisces with his former Frontier Wrestling Alliance colleague Greg Lambert on some of their shared memories in FWA and PCW, along with stories about his family promotion WAW, his all-round success in other sports, and about how he's winning his biggest battle of all. Topics include: False starts Birthday bash Peter Pan Zak's potatoes Saraya at FLOW An old cow shed 16 shows a week Wheelbarrow Wilson Facing the greats as a kid Five rounds with Doc Dean The mullet New lease of life Jumping off balconies Samoa Joe at York Hall AJ Styles v Jonny Storm The best UK high-flyer First Fightmare Pool hustler Paying for RKJ's cot Fulham with Kevin Keegan Danny Hope the footballer The Hamrick match Thoughts on Doug Williams, James Tighe and Mark Belton "I didn't mean THAT stiff!"

But after a devastating career-ending injury for Daniels, Ryan has gone down a darker path in Odyssey and now has his sights firmly set on singles gold. Greg Lambert speaks to 'The Super Athlete' about his career in Morecambe, his new alliance with Ethan Edwards, his future goals and much more. Troy also talks candidly about the injury to Anderson and how this has driven him for the next stage of his career which he hopes will lead him to the Odyssey Pro Wrestling Championship...

Popular daredevil Jynkz went on to win the XWA British Flyweight Title, the XWA Best of the North West Cup and the AOW-UK Tag Team Titles in a glittering career in the Morecambe ring, while Luke Future competed for three of the North West's top promotions in XWA, PCW and FutureShock, all before he turned 18 years of age.

Few British wrestlers are more respected the world over, than 'The Ambassador' Doug Williams. The highly decorated former two-time FWA champion in the UK, TNA X Division champion and tag team champion in the US, and IWGP and GHC tag team champion in Japan, enjoyed a 30-year career full of major moments and matches. Within this, was a two-year stint for the FWA at the Morecambe Dome, which included the historic night of June 18 2005 when Doug and Scorpio defended the GHC tag titles against Naomichi Marufuji and Minoru Suzuki - the only time the Pro Wrestling NOAH belts changed hands outside Japan. AND he was also the first inductee into the Morecambe Wrestling Hall of Fame! The skilled technician and originator of the Chaos Theory sat down with Greg Lambert to reminisce on his years in Morecambe and much more besides.

This month marks the 20th anniversary of a momentous night in Morecambe Wrestling history, the night when Pro Wrestling NOAH - one of Japan's top promotions - came to The Dome.
