The First Annual Oxford Tavern Jelly Wrestle
If you can grapple another human to the ground in the most gelatinous of circumstances, you win.
Overview
Forget acting ambitions, humanitarian causes or inventing an app that cures cancer and keeps track of the Sydney public transport system better than TripView. Have you ever wanted to be famous for something good? That was the pertinent question asked by the Oxford Tavern as they announced their First Annual Oxford Tavern Jelly Wrestle. If you can grapple another human to the ground in the most gelatinous of circumstances, and do it in character, this is your chance at glory.
Back in the day, before it was fancied up by Drink N Dine last year, the Tav was a little seedier — well known for its topless barmaids and, yes, regular jelly wrestling comps. Up until now, that legacy has only lived on in their singular, extravagant, gloves-but-no-cutlery-provided dessert: the Jelly Wrestle. Perhaps by popular demand, or simply as a nod to their questionable past, they're bringing back the fleshy, messy real deal that is its namesake.
The competition is open to both men and women (competing on a strictly man vs. man, woman vs. woman basis). If you want to brave the pit, pick up an application form and check out the rules, which range from the obvious (no punching, no biting) to the should-be-obvious (no finger probing), and the inexplicable (no bleeding) to the twee (entrants wear magic socks, and the removal of your opponent's magic sock means YOU WIN!).
One pit. Twenty wrestlers. Who will win the pride of the Inner Wild West?
