A TV documentary going between the ropes with the Bradford Church of Wrestling will be broadcast later this week.
Gareth ‘Angel’ Thompson set up one of England’s only wrestling churches in the Fountains Church, which is in Bradford’s old Walkabout nightclub building, last year.
The show, which will air on BBC One as part of the We Are England series on Friday, October 7 at 7.30pm, will follow the group as they share their inspirational stories of recovery and mental health battles.

The programme will also be screened as it is shown on TV at 7.30pm this Friday. The free entry screening will be held at the Bradford Church of England, Glydegate Square, Bradford, with doors opening at 7pm.
The show follows some of the characters in and out of the ring at the Bradford Church of Wrestling.
These include Cris and his character ‘Pride’ grow in confidence as he builds for his ring debut.
Emma, aka Blue Glasses Girl, has experienced trauma at various stages of her life and has used the wrestling school as a place to rebuild her confidence.
She is training as a ring announcer and is in charge of all the backstage social media content.
