A pro-wrestler is aiming to convert a former chapel in Glasgow into a dedicated wrestling venue.

David McCallum, known by the ring name Ravie Davey, has launched a fundraiser to help support the renovation of the building in the city’s Linthouse area into a “Church of Wrestling”.

The GoFundMe page has so far raised £2,305 of a £10,000 target.

McCallum, who has been involved in the sport for over ten years – taking part in events across Europe and the UK – founded the Glasgow School of Wrestling with his partner Georgia Nesbit.

The school offers 19 weekly training sessions for kids as young as five to practise WWE-style wrestling, which is a mix of sport and theatre.

The couple also runs Community Pro-Wrestling, which brings family-friendly shows to local communities.

They recently acquired the old church and aim to renovate it into a permanent base for the school and a venue for future events.
