WWE (or World Wrestling Entertainment) has been a hit with both children and adults ever since it was established 37 years ago in 1980. It has turned wrestlers like John Cena, The Undertaker and Triple H into global superstars and household names, offering up a level of drama, action and entertainment unseen in any other sport.
What you don’t think when somebody asks about wrestling however, is Salford. Well, that might just be about to change.
Salford’s Wrestlepro is run by UK superstar, Pip “Bubblegum”Carter, who has made an impressive name for himself wrestling on the independent circuit for a number of years. Now he hopes to bring the biggest stars from the UK as well as top international talent to the North West to give people the chance to watch awesome matches and even learn some moves themselves.
That’s right, Wrestlepro has its own pro-wrestling training academy where you can learn all the moves you see on Smackdown or Raw safely and skillfully.
