 On February 9 2002, a chance meeting took place which changed the face of Morecambe Wrestling history. When Dann Read bumped into Greg Lambert at a revolutionary UK wrestling show just outside London, it set off a chain of events that led us to where we are today. Now a hugely successful promoter of EVE - Europe's top all-female wrestling promotion - Dann had a hand in many pivotal moments in Morecambe Wrestling history.
