I am still asked on this site what is WoS wrestling. 'WoS' is just aficionados’ affectionate nickname for the old British pro wrestling, which was a popular sample of ‘World of Sport’. This television sport programme ran on British TV between 1965 and 1985. Wrestling was often shown between 4:00 – 4:45pm (or thereabouts) on Saturdays.

Alas, the British pro wrestling was on its steady decline shortly after the discontinuation of the above TV programme. But the popularity of pro wrestling was soon revived in the form of the then-known WWF. But these days wrestling is all about trash talk, acrobatics, and silly names and costumes; the art of technical wrestling (for which the likes of Johnny Saint became known) seems to have been sadly consigned to the distant past.

I hope this clears up this matter :-)
