BBC Radio 1 - Radio 1 Stories, Superstar Wrestlers

Greg James explores what it takes to make it as a WWE superstar!

Lifelong wrestling fan Greg James meets the biggest WWE stars and explores the realities behind making it to the top.

When Greg James was younger he dreamt of being a superstar wrestler (and we have the home movies to prove it). Fast forward 20 years and that's not looking particularly likely; but, if you did fancy yourself as the next WWE World Heavyweight champion, how would you go about it?

Greg heads to New York and goes behind the scenes with the superstars of WWE to learn just what it takes to make it to the top of a business like no other. Back in the UK, Greg also catches up with the next generation of superstars in WWE's developmental brand NXT at Download festival.

What will happen when Greg enters the unpredictable world of professional wrestling and does he have what it takes to be a King of the Ring? 

Featuring WWE Superstars Roman Reigns, Chris Jericho, Sami Zayn, Enzo Amore, Big Cass, Charlotte, Triple H and many more!
