Why stopping them earn while exercising sport? If this is “freak show” how long before Paralympics are branded the same? So bias....

Just like the interfering feminist r$€ho1e$ who instead of supporting women who want to work as grid & ring girls (I’ve worked with a lot of them over the years & last Christmas) lost them their jobs; these guys are happy to work doing what they enjoy.

I heard one for the wrestlers when asked to comment said he “isn’t happy”. Which one is he then!

That’s a low blow

They've certainly been given short shrift here.

Going hungry? Oh well at least in a dignified way...

As long as they are not being forced to wrestle and are paid appropriately, how is it anyone else's business?

Because dwarves dont have the right to wrestle?

Banning dwarfs from doing something they enjoy? How very un- PC...??

Why are some so sanctimonious about what other people choose to do for money, or others chose to spend their own money to watch? Don't like it? don't go then....

I don't know whether this promotion has an exploitative tone or not, but did no one at the BBC think to interview the actual wrestlers themselves?

Dwarves have been very big this year.

Another case of progressiveness causing more damage than good. Give these guys a platform to wrestle! Not every promotion caters for smaller wrestlers and to flat out cancel an event where they can showcase their talents is awful. Really feel sorry for those originally booked.

why should size be an issue in a wrestling match, they have as much right to par take in any sport they choose.

So what specifically did they not like about the "tone of promotion"?

Ordinary professional wrestling is a freak show. Where's the line?

Because adults can't chose what they do for a career, if they happen to be too short? Outrageous. I don't watch wrestling, but if consenting adults want to take part in it, go ahead.

Perpetually outraged malcontents making decisions about other people’s lives. If they wanted to do it and were being paid appropriately- what’s it got to do with anyone else? Same for the women glamming up sporting events.

Yes!!

Political correctness gone mad

?????? We've came a long way from Dwarf Tossing in a New Zealand bar....... ??????

Would pay good money to see this??

why, it was only a short programme anyway

It’s the little things that count.

Midgets have a right to a living

Way to go snowflakes, you just lost a load of people the chance to make an honest living. Will you be putting your hand in your pockets to cover their losses.

Should I also be outraged at tall people playing basketball The ethical lattes drinkers spend so much time and effort screaming that everybody should be treated equally esp on the bBC and yet when dwarfs do something that gives them a honest wage packet. the ELDs scream....."foul play' BBCRadio2 re dwarf throwing ban... well done for stopping people from earning a living in an field in which they're in demand. Same as "the sisterhood" wanting equality for women but getting pit and ring girls banned and consequently out of work too. Very empowering. Well done

Dwarf wrestling organiser 'suing cancelled venues'The Extreme Dwarfanators Wrestling Show was to take place at three UK centres but the venues cancelled after public criticism. That's low. Is he taking it to the small claims court 👀. I don’t understand why they have cancelled the shows? The guys doing this clearly want to do it and they are getting paid, it’s just fun. Don’t agree it’s a freak show at all.
