Former Norwich City Striker Stuns Wrestling World With Royal Rumble Victory
12:25, 23 Sep 2018

Former Norwich City striker Grant Holt is used to knocking goals into the back of the net, but the 37-year-old has now made his move into the world of wrestling and the ex-Canaries attacker was a fine winner of a 40-man Royal Rumble on his debut in the ring.

Having now retired as a player Holt is now working with Norwich's academy, but is eager to make his way into wrestling and has become part of the World Association Of Wrestling for which he started training with that association in May, and if this video is to go by he could well become a star of the ring in the future.

Dressed in a jumper and jeans, Holt found himself in the ring with three other wrestlers, but as one quickly exited over the top rope then there were three left standing.  Having avoided jostling with one of his opponents Holt then continued to Clothesline him over the top rope and it was left with two remaining.

It looked to be all over for Holt, who was pushed over the top rope himself, but as he held on he was helped back in by another wrestler and as the other contender stood on the top rope celebrating what he thought was a victory Holt sprinted across the floor and drop-kicked his final rival out of the ring and Holt lay victorious on the canvas.

As he caught his breath, Holt raised his arms aloft and celebrated along with an entertained crowd.
