Cheered on by
spectators, contestants from all over Britain slid in the gooey
mixture, usually an accompaniment to Sunday roast meals, as they
wrestled each other on a padded gravy pool at the Rose 'n' Bowl
pub in Lancashire, England in a bid to raise money for a local
hospice.
Rules state that participants wrestle in gravy in two-minute
bouts and they win points for not only their moves but also the
audience's applause.
"If you can stay on your feet and get the upper hand on your
opponent, it allows you to throw them and toss them around,"
competitor Joel Hicks said. "But if you can't get any balance
then you're just straight over."
