Wrestling on Television

In October 2010, the new British "Men & Movies" satellite/Freesat channel began repeat showings of "classic" British Professional Wrestling, as seen until 1988 on ITV's "World of Sport".
Please notify The Wrestling Furnace Picture Gallery if you know of any other TV channels where it may be seen.

For those in the UK with Freesat or SKY, etc.
Keep watching the listings for:

Men & Movies

• The "Men & Movies" Channel opened in October 2010 on Freesat. It is not currently amongst the standard SKY TV channels, but that may change in the future. SKY subscribers can, however, manually tune in to the channel and add it to their "Other Channels" list. Click here for further instructions. Schedules vary, but currently "WORLD OF SPORT" wrestling is shown on weekdays for one hour at 1:00pm and again for an hour at 4:00pm. There are 3 hours on Saturdays from 2:00pm to 5:00pm and one hour on Sundays at 4pm. On-screen listings do not appear to be available, so check the UK TV Guide website for schedules.

The digital version of Welsh Channel 4 (Sky Channel 151, S4C ~ Digidol)

• Up until early 2005, the digital version of Welsh Channel 4 (Sky Channel 151, S4C ~ Digidol) re-ran some of its half-hour long wrestling shows from the 1980s and 1990s on Saturdays under the title "Reslo". Times varied, and "Reslo" was not shown every Saturday. Scheduling information supplied by S4C to The Wrestling Furnace was inaccurate, so check the on-screen and magazine/newspaper listings regularly. ("Reslo" was normally shown sometime between 12 noon and 5:00pm). Subscribers to Sky can receive this channel at no extra cost simply by telephoning Sky and requesting this service. Commentary was in the Welsh language, and unfortunately the action was often more American than classic British style. However, S4C did feature some good wrestling in the 1980s, after it disappeared from the ITV screens, so maybe they can be persuaded to show repeats of this at a future date?
