Grant Holt Makes Brilliant Wrestling Debut By Actually Winning A Battle Royal

Grant Holt Makes Brilliant Wrestling Debut By Actually Winning A Battle Royal

Grant Holt made his debut in a battle royal and, well, actually won. Can you actually believe it?

Grant Holt had a fairly successful football career, sure, but why not spice things up and enter the wrestling world?

That's right, the 37-year-old Norwich City academy coach made his debut at World Association of Wrestling in a battle royal.

Oh, and the former footballer actually won the match. Again, we're not even kidding about this.

Check him out in action:




While Holt has been training to become a professional wrestler, he's not left his love of football behind. In fact, he came to the match not dressed as a wrestler, but more like a football manager.

Yes, he came into the ring donning a sweater, polo shirt and trousers.

To Holt's credit, though, he did swing himself back into the ring after he was almost eliminated -- with some assistance, of course -- and performed a decent dropkick to eliminate the other wrestler.

What an absolute legend.






What did you make of Holt's wrestling debut?
