World of Sport Heavyweight Champion Grado appeared in a very unlikely place last night……

Infamous YouTube channel ArsenalFanTV is a soccer (football) channel known for lengthy rants and controversial opinions. It has become a hit in the UK during this year’s soccer (football) season.

The channel uploaded a video last night after Arsenal’s game against Leicester and it featured a face very familiar to wrestling fans…..you can check out the video below. Please be forewarned that there is strong language in this one.

In case you were not aware. IMPACT returns to UK television tonight on Spike at 9pm GMT. Spike is a Freeview channel but can also be found on certain paid networks. The numbers you need are here:

• Freeview 31
• Sky 160
• Virgin 154
• Freesat 141

IMPACT look set to push their brand further than ever in the UK with this new weekly slot as well as their collaboration with World of Sport starting later on in the year.

World of Sport will be returning to UK television later in the year for a 10 part series on ITV. ITV is one of the biggest channels in the United Kingdom and is available in every home that has access to a television set. Comparatively WWE’s RAW & Smackdown shows are available on Sky Sports, an expensive pay per view subscription service with a greatly reduced viewer base.

IMPACT Wrestling will also be involved in the series relaunch. Jeff Jarrett and Jeremy Borash appeared at a recent press conference for the new series and appear to be playing a major role in the rebirth of the iconic British brand.

WOS has unveiled their official website as part of the relaunch (woswrestling.com) and the evidence of IMPACT’s involvement in the new series is extremely prevalent.

Famed UK Wrestling series World of Sport will be making its return later this year. UK TV network ITV ran a pilot show on New Years Eve and while the reported ratings of that show were lower than hoped for, a a full series has been officially sanctioned.

IMPACT Chief Creative Officer Jeff Jarrett will act as Executive Producer and bring his talents to the revival of British wrestling: “The World of Sport brand is etched in professional wrestling tradition. My family’s lineage in the industry dates back 70-plus years, so I am honoured for the opportunity to work on reviving the legacy of this historic British series.”

A launch event is planned for this Monday. Jarrett and Jeremy Borash will be on hand to discuss the working relationship that WOS and iMPACT Wrestling have agreed upon.

The new 10-part series is currently set to be recorded in the Preston Guild Hall on Thursday 25th May and Friday 26th May with tickets going on sale at 9 am on Friday 7th April from gigsandtours.com, ticketmaster.co.uk, and prestonguildhall.co.uk.
