KEIGHLEY is one of the locations for the first regular televised wrestling programme in 25 years.
New Generation Wrestling will film its latest Anarchy tournament at Victoria Hall this Saturday for broadcast on the national channel Challenge TV.
New Generation Wrestling (NGW), which has previously staged bouts in Keighley, signed a deal with the British Wrestling Council to make the show.
NGW spokesman Rich Hall said wrestling attracted seven million viewers every Saturday afternoon on ITV in the 1980s, with fighters like Big Daddy and Giant Haystacks.

He said: “Today’s British performers are every bit as athletic and exciting as their American cousins.
“Some of the best talent in the country will be at Victoria Hall, and they are expecting to transform the British viewing public’s impression of the wrestling industry in the UK with a spectacular evening of family friendly action.”
Saturday's show starts at 6.30pm. Tickets are available from the website ngwuk.com or by calling at Keighley Leisure Centre.
