Simon Cowell wants to start a pro-wrestling company

Quote:

Simon Cowell wants to bring British wrestling stars like Big Daddy back to TV screens.

The 55-year-old music mogul was a huge fan of the sport as a kid in the 1970s, and would love to see it make a TV return in the UK.

An insider told The Sun on Sunday newspaper: ''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.

''Simon seemed really excited about bringing back wrestling. If anyone can get it back on the box, he can.''

Simon has previously confessed his love for the sport, revealing he used to watch wrestling as a child and would often practice the spectacular-looking moves.

Speaking during one episode of the ITV show 'Britain's Got Talent', he said: ''I used to watch it as a kid - I used to do it!''

This comes shortly after Simon revealed he's given One Direction permission to go solo.

The 'X Factor' judge, who signed the band to his Syco record label after mentoring them to third place on the British talent show, said he doesn't mind if the boys - Harry Styles, Niall Horan, Zayn Malik, Louis Tomlinson and Liam Payne - work on their own individual projects on the side, as long as they remain together.

He explained: ''I hear Harry is going to go solo all the time.

''My advice is they should stay together.

''They can still do things whenever they want. They should stay together.''

Would there be live phone votes to decide who wins the matches?

I can imagine Cowell playing a Vince McMahon character in his promotion. Louis Walsh playing his lackey. Would love to see a national UK promotion on telly on a regular basis.

One Direction face-off in a Five Directions Match.

He needs to invest in GFW.

That would be the smart bet. A few of these smaller companies should band together and pitch their resources.

They need a real alternate to WWE, something fresh.

Like a backyard league on TV...make it like a realty show...would be good stuff!

Cheryl Cole wimmens champ

No reason why they couldn't bring back ITV World of Sport or something similar or maybe have a show focussing on the independent scene in Britain etc. Surprised nobody thought of this sooner.
