• The World Toe Wrestling Federation has announced that the 2021 championship matches will go ahead in August in Derbyshire, England (what a relief!) and organizers are looking for people who want to dip their toes in the water of pro competition.
Toe wrestling, The Northern Echo reported, takes place sitting down and barefoot, with the competitors' toes linked.
But matches are no tiptoe through the tulips: Ben "Total Destruction" Woodroffe, who is ranked second in the world (and had his toenails surgically removed to give him a competitive edge), had his ankle snapped in two places by 16-time champion Alan "Nasty" Nash -- during a practice session.
"It's a people's sport; there are no levels or qualifiers, and anyone can join," Woodroffe said encouragingly. [The Northern Echo, 4/24/2021]
