Golden Time with Charlotte Cropper

For the Series 2 finale of Golden Time, I decided to go big or go home. Or go big and go to A&E with some broken bones. Yes, I went wrestling with the one, the only, Tony Wright. Because if there's anyone who can show me the ropes and get me to jump from them without me having an anxiety attack, it’s Tony!Go watch the highlights of our training session over on Instagram @croppachoppa, and you can follow Tony @tony_wright97.Massive thanks again to Futureshock Wrestling School for letting us use your amazing space.
