He has already proved that he’s a champion when it comes to the music charts, but what about in the wrestling ring?

Simon Cowell is said to be hoping to revive British wrestling on TV, according to The Sun.

‘I used to watch it as a kid – I used to do it!’ the 55-year-old admitted after a grappling act auditioned for ITV show Britain’s Got Talent, on which he is a judge.

‘Now American wrestling’s big, I think it’s a good idea to bring it back. But you have to bring back really big people,’ said Si, who himself was a fan of late wrestling star Big Daddy back in the 70s.




‘Simon seemed really excited about bringing back wrestling. If anyone can get it back on the box, he can,’ a source reportedly told the newspaper.
