World Gravy Wrestling Championship: A sticky affair

What is the championship all about?

According to the official website of the event, “Contestants must wrestle in the gravy for 2 minutes.” However, their ability to wrestle is not the only thing on which the scores are decided. Turns out, they are also scored for “fancy dress, comedy effect, and entertainment”. The event is conducted to raise money for charity. Besides, it provides a day of wholesome entertainment for the participants and their families.

The organizers shared a video on YouTube of the event, which featured contestants covered in gravy as they wrestled.

The organizers also took to YouTube to share a video from the event. The clip shows the participants drenched in gravy wrestling with each other. “Hundreds of wrestling fans turned out to watch people in fancy dress writhe around in warm gravy for the World Gravy Wrestling Championships. In what is the 15th edition of the popular Bank Holiday event, punters queued outside the Rose ’N’ Bowl in Stacksteads, Rossendale from midday for the world-renowned event,” reads the caption posted along with the video.
