@c5news: A group of grandmothers struck up an unlikely friendship with a pro wrestler during an emotional trip to Las Vegas to scatter a late husband's ashes after getting into a scrap over a plane seat. The women, Lynn Crawford, 71, Susie Matthews, 73, Rose Sulley, 74, and Christine Goodwin, 80 - who have been friends for more than four decades, were travelling to Vegas from London when they came across wrestler DeReiss Gordon, known in the ring as Man Like DeReiss, in one of their seats. The mix-up led to DeReiss inviting the pensioners to WrestleMania - and to his surprise, they turned up. And the friendship didn’t end there, with plans for the nans to meet him again in London.
