As is the tradition every year, the 2023 edition saw numerous individuals enthusiastically taking part in this eccentric and lively wrestling competition.

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.

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.
