Join Dave Meltzer & Bryan Alvarez for Wrestling Observer Radio: Live in London 2

After last year’s rousing success, Dave Meltzer & Bryan Alvarez will return to London for a second edition of Wrestling Observer Radio: Live in London 2 during AEW All In weekend.

Last year’s show sold out, so we tried to figure out how to top it. Well, how about we all get on a boat on the River Thames?

This year’s event will take place at 11 AM on Sunday, August 25th and will be hosted on the historic Tattershall Castle steamship.

Tickets are now on sale.

This proud vessel is permanently moored on the Victoria Embankment, directly opposite the London Eye and just five minutes walk from Big Ben & The Houses Of Parliament, right in the centre of London.

Fans can enjoy incredible views of London’s landmarks from the top deck before heading below deck to enjoy an audience with the world’s most prominent wrestling journalists as they will take questions from the fans on all aspects of the wrestling business past, present and future.
