Hi. If you love the old US pro wrestling, I’d recommend the ‘Wrestling Playlists’ YouTube channel, which is quite new and has been uploading lots of old bouts from the US lately:

This YouTube channel also runs a newsletter, which has lots of information about the old pro wrestling. If you would like to subscribe, go to https://wrestlingplaylists.substack.com/welcome

One of the best things about MF is the ‘Meetups’ section; this can be helpful especially when you fancy a bout at the last minute. But in my opinion, a small percentage of MF members are only into WoS roleplay, which is basically dressing up in pro gear and applying holds or acting out wrestling fantasies in a safe way. The following group specialises in WoS roleplay, so if you’re looking for a bout, especially at the last minute, you can advertise your match requests through this group. Anyone is welcome to join 😊

Hi, all. I thought I should mention that I have set up an interest group for fans of WoS roleplay:

I do hope that you will join this Group, and if you know anyone who might be interested please spread the word. Thank you!

I am still asked on this site what is WoS wrestling. 'WoS' is just aficionados’ affectionate nickname for the old British pro wrestling, which was a popular sample of ‘World of Sport’. This television sport programme ran on British TV between 1965 and 1985. Wrestling was often shown between 4:00 – 4:45pm (or thereabouts) on Saturdays.

Alas, the British pro wrestling was on its steady decline shortly after the discontinuation of the above TV programme. But the popularity of pro wrestling was soon revived in the form of the then-known WWF. But these days wrestling is all about trash talk, acrobatics, and silly names and costumes; the art of technical wrestling (for which the likes of Johnny Saint became known) seems to have been sadly consigned to the distant past.

I hope this clears up this matter :-)

Wishing everyone here a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Safe wrestling (or whatever you do here).
