I’ve been interested in wrestling in Wigan for years, and read about it pretty extensively. And finally, I’ve decided to take it to the next level by the way of proper research.
There’s a lot of things to cover, in the main covering 1850s to 1950s.
Having read about a number of wrestlers - I intend to cover - I thought one of the most important things to start research in to was the venue(s) that matches were held.
From my early findings it appears that one of the biggest places for matches was Ince Recreation Ground.
