ITV wrestling listings

This site is an ongoing project to list all the matches aired by ITV between its first airing in 1955, and 1988 when Greg Dyke cancelled British wrestling broadcasts. The listings are taken from sources including the TV Times and include match descriptions where originally listed plus results where available.

We also have:

Articles from the TV Times that mention wrestling.

Details of wrestlers who used more than one ring name

A list of FA Cup Final day spectacular line-ups

An overview timline on British wrestling broadcast schedules on ITV

Details of wrestling championships during the ITV years

Details of viewing figures and TV ratings for British wrestling

Links to other sites

Important note: We cannot supply tapes of any of the shows listed on this site. However, many matches from the archives have been shown on TWC Fight (Sky channel 427), which airs five hours of classic British wrestling each week.

You may be interested in the Kindle e-book Greetings Grapple Fans, which covers British wrestling past and present.

You can now search the listings, for example for a particular wrestler or venue.
