World of Sport is a classic era of British Wrestling quite overlooked by our American counterparts. Whilst the likes of Dynamite Kid, Davey Boy Smith, Jushin Liger, Owen Hart, Fit Finlay & William Regal all turned up at some point, there are an abundance of classic matches and workers who are sadly overlooked as being amongst the most talented of their era.
This ongoing project will focus primarily on the crop of workers from this era who regularly produced some of the finest matches in the history of the promotion and indeed worldwide, whilst occasionally featuring some of the more notable names listed above for fans of those wrestlers unfamiliar with their work in World Of Sport.
At some point I'd like to try and come up with a potential Top 50 or Top 100 matches from WOS, in order to give the most definitive overview of the history of the promotion. Much of this will depend on how much footage I can gather across the internet (on top of my perpetuant inability to commit to long-term projects), however I'm quitely confident that there's enough footage currently existing for this to be a feasible project.
