Wrestling needs a bad guy

Every wrestling promotion around has a wealthy villain. WWE had the likes of Ric Flair and Ted DiBiase, who would saunter in and outside of the ring flaunting their wealth to the adoring/gnarling masses in the crowd. Though nowhere near the level of their American cousins right now, British wrestling is enjoying a Renaissance currently, and has followed the American lead in seeing a rise in posh, rich villains. In Britain, as you'd expect, that villain turns out to be a Tory. JOE went to meet one of these wrestling Tories, Spike Trivet, to see what it's like to be an evil Conservative wrestler in the British wrestling scene today. Disclaimer: it is just a character. https://twitter.com/JOE_co_uk/status/1184189701189705728
