Description
Podcast celebrating the past, present and future of professional wrestling in the seaside town of Morecambe, Lancashire, England. Hosted by Greg Lambert and Silent Mark.
35 Episodes
Reverse
In 2009, a wrestling training school opened in Morecambe. Two of the first budding grapplers through its doors were Kyle Winchester and Luke Vedick, who would later become known as Jynkz and Luke Future. Popular daredevil Jynkz went on to win the XWA British Flyweight Title, the XWA Best of the North West Cup and the AOW-UK Tag Team Titles in a glittering career in the Morecambe ring, while Luke Future competed for three of the North West's top promotions in XWA, PCW and FutureShock, all before he turned 18 years of age. But then both of these talented youngsters walked away from pro wrestling. Now they're back to tell their story, and it's a gripping one! With tales of ambition, pride, heartache, and WILD accounts of what it was really like to be embroiled in the violence of the storied XWA vs GPW feud, this is our best episode yet...

On February 9 2002, a chance meeting took place which changed the face of Morecambe Wrestling history. When Dann Read bumped into Greg Lambert at a revolutionary UK wrestling show just outside London, it set off a chain of events that led us to where we are today. Now a hugely successful promoter of EVE - Europe's top all-female wrestling promotion - Dann had a hand in many pivotal moments in Morecambe Wrestling history. In this epic interview, Greg catches up with his old friend to reminisce on that first meeting and everything that happened next...

For the first time ever, Greg Lambert and SilentMark host The Morecambe Wrestling Podcast on the road. More specifically, at the bar at Alhambra Live after Odyssey Pro Wrestling Stormy Waters. Recorded on Saturday July 26 2025, the show includes interviews with special guests who drop in, including the Odyssey merch girls, a very tired James the live editor, a victorious Ethan Edwards and a devastated deposed Odyssey Pro Wrestling champion Andre Dekker. Also bonus backstage chats with a visiting Sam 'RJM' Gradwell and the new champ himself, 'The God of Morecambe' Rick Markus.

1980 TV wrestling in Morecambe
Few British wrestlers are more respected the world over, than 'The Ambassador' Doug Williams. The highly decorated former two-time FWA champion in the UK, TNA X Division champion and tag team champion in the US, and IWGP and GHC tag team champion in Japan, enjoyed a 30-year career full of major moments and matches. Within this, was a two-year stint for the FWA at the Morecambe Dome, which included the historic night of June 18 2005 when Doug and Scorpio defended the GHC tag titles against Naomichi Marufuji and Minoru Suzuki - the only time the Pro Wrestling NOAH belts changed hands outside Japan. AND he was also the first inductee into the Morecambe Wrestling Hall of Fame! The skilled technician and originator of the Chaos Theory sat down with Greg Lambert to reminisce on his years in Morecambe and much more besides.

This month marks the 20th anniversary of a momentous night in Morecambe Wrestling history, the night when Pro Wrestling NOAH - one of Japan's top promotions - came to The Dome. For the first time ever, or since, the GHC tag team titles changed hands in the UK and it happened in a little seaside town on the North West coast. Greg Lambert, who was there that night, and SilentMark, who knows next to nothing about Japanese wrestling, take a look at the historic events of June 18 2005.

Alton Thorne made his shocking return to Morecambe Wrestling at the 20th Anniversary of War on the Shore, appearing on the screen to challenge a man who'd driven him from the town eight years earlier - the Odyssey Pro Wrestling champion Andre Dekker. Now 'The King Freak' will challenge Dekker for the title at Mutiny on Saturday June 14. 'The Blast from the Past' has a long memory, is on a mission for revenge and this definitely comes across in this intense interview. Thorne speaks candidly about his career as one of the UK's top death match competitors, his memories of Hellbound in Alpha Omega Wrestling, and his VERY strong feelings about Dekker himself.

Max Voltage was the very first wrestler through the curtain on a War on the Shore in Morecambe, 20 years ago. Then a fresh-faced 17-year-old FWA Academy trainee, Max has gone on to have a stellar career as an actor, writer and comedian. The real-life Max Olesker is one half of double act Max and Ivan, the duo behind 'The Wrestling' at the Edinburgh Fringe and whose wrestling-based 'Clash of the Comics' show is taking the comedy world by storm. Max also co-wrote the ITV British wrestling sitcom 'Deep Heat' and has performed all over the world to great acclaim. But even after all that success, he still has a soft spot for his one and only appearance in Morecambe Wrestling!
