In 2011 the World Gravy Wrestling Championships returned for the fourth year in a row to the Rose n' Bowl pub in Stacksteads as part of the annual Pennine Lancashire Festival of Food and Culture. This messy and hilarious competition involves competitors wrestling each other in a 6-inch deep pool of gravy. Individuals are awarded points by three judges for crowd reaction, humour, costume, and to a far lesser extent, pins and take downs! In previous years I have entered as 'Hogan' Knows Gravy, Mr T and 'Stone Cold' Steve Bisto. After winning the world title in 2009, I was controversially beaten in the 2010 final. In 2011 I regained the world championship title as 'The Macho Man' Randy Sausage! Hooorah!
