Ep. 40 - 'A Rose By No Other Name' with British wrestling veteran Jonny Rose

Once Upon A Turnbuckle

16-10-2021 • 1 hr 7 mins

In this episode, Chris welcomes another heavy-hitter from the British wrestling scene with veteran '#1' Jonny Rose!

Jonny recalls his earliest memories of discovering wrestling as a kid in the crowd watching the like of Danny Boy Collins and Big Daddy, to finding himself as a ten-year-old helping to carry the ring in at another show, through to his fondest recollections of entertaining crowds as a wrestler and promoter himself, including the time he spent in and out of the ring with wrestling legend Tracey Smothers.

Jonny can truly be considered one of British wrestling's 'working men', often juggling responsibilities as a promoter, perform and helping to run a pub, all at the same time! To top it off, Jonny is still an avid old-school wrestling fan today, so there was much to be discussed in this one. Hear which events, matches and superstars are still Jonny's go-to when not in the ring himself, whilst also giving us probably the most intriguing 'Mount Rushmore of Wrestling' so far!
