PROGRESS WRESTLING BECOME A NEW SPONSOR AT TRANMERE ROVERS
What sport are Tranmere Rovers most noted for ? asks Martyn Best our inside man at Prenton Park .
Nope - it ’ s not a trick question , and the vast majority of our readers , in fact , perhaps 100 % will arrive at the correct answer .
However , dear readers , we can now add one more fascinating element as the club have recently announced a new sporting relationship with PROGRESS Wrestling becoming their new social media partner for the remainder of the 2021 / 22 campaign .
PROGRESS Wrestling are the leading independent professional wrestling promotion in the country and have a reputation stretching beyond the UK with their events being screened on the WWE network , and also on their own DEMAND PROGRESS platform .
In a sense , Tranmere Rovers are following the theme of the muchloved wrestling movie , Fighting with my Family , by ‘ keeping it in the family ’ as the owners of PROGRESS Wrestling are none other than two of the Club ’ s long-standing Associate Directors , Lee McAteer and our own intrepid reporter , Martyn Best .
Lee and Martyn have been supporting the Club across a range of marketing , social media and promotional activities , and so it was really logical that having just acquired PROGRESS Wrestling that they develop a closer tie-up with the Club .
Lee noted , “ I ’ m really excited to strengthen our links with the Club as the new owners of PROGRESS Wrestling . I ’ ve been both a massive Tranmere fan all of my life , and a huge fan of professional wrestling , so it ’ s brilliant to bring the two together ”.
Many of the Tranmere fans will also recall Lee as the founder and CEO of Wrestling Travel and many of the Club ’ s supporters have been to Wrestlemania and other WWE events with Lee . Both Lee and Martyn have other business interests , with Lee having been the founder and CEO of the Invasion Group , which included Americamp and Camp Thailand , and Martyn is currently CEO of Document Direct and LegalRSS .
Martyn will also be remembered as the deputy and then Chairman of the Everton Tigers basketball team who brought much silverware to Merseyside in the last decade and he was equally enthusiastic , " Lee and I are really pleased with PROGRESS Wrestling being a formal sponsor of the Club , and we hope to bring our expertise to bear across many of the club ’ s social media platforms including twitter , Instagram and TikTok "
Mark Palios , the Club Chairman was delighted with the news , “ This is another great example of the ambitions of our football club in being able to attract such an internationally known sporting brand as PROGRESS Wrestling as one of our new sponsors .
" We have many pro-wrestlers amongst our fan base , including the amazing Double J , Jeff Jarrett , a WWE Hall of Famer and it will be interesting to see if we can help PROGRESS Wrestling with some of their north-west shows later in the year , and perhaps even host one in our new fan park .
" I really welcome PROGRESS Wrestling and would like to thank Lee and Martyn for showing their further support and confidence in the club . It is thrilling partnerships like this which will really add excitement to what will hopefully be a very rewarding season for us ."
