The Bad Bunny tag was not only a testament to the skill and professionalism of the Miz and John Morrison but also to the dedication of a celebrity who was a big enough fan of Professional Wrestling to respect its integrity...

Overwhelmed by the amazing response I have received. Some totally unexpected! I will take this moment to formally announce my retirement. I am finished in the UK now but still have some international bookings to fulfil. Thank you once again and keep supporting British Wresting!

The events of the past year has made me reassess my decision to retire as it made me understand that you should use your life to fullest doing what you enjoy. As such I am open to bookings again, email is in my bio...

If you’re a struggling indie Wrestler don’t sit there and criticise on social media the workers or matches that are presented by the big companies. Because as soon as you are offered that guaranteed contract and tv time, you will be doing exactly what you are told, good or bad.

started training in 1993 which means I missed appearing on Wrestling on ITV by 4 years. However, tomorrow, after a 25 year career I finally make my debut on ITV 1 when Wrestling is back on on a Saturday afternoon!

Due to recent events in my personal life I have made the decision to cancel all my bookings and appearances in December. This is not a decision I have taken lightly but unfortunately it’s a necessity for my own well-being amongst other things… see you all next year.

Just a quick note to say I won’t be taking any more UK bookings this year, I have 40 shows booked from September through to December which is probably far more than I should be doing. I need some time for other things 😂 Roll on 2022!

As a preface to that, I want to say that I was trained to always perform Pro Wrestling as a sport and that all the craziness and mad gimmicks should never take away from the fact that, at it's heart, you're trying to win every match to become a champion and earn more money.

If I can salvage one positive from Brexit, it's that it is great for heel heat in Europe.

Eric is one of the most influential people ever in the evolution of Professional Wrestling over the last past 30 years. He didn’t need to tweet this, but he did. Thank you. I valued the time I spent working with you and the things that I learnt.

One reasons the Camps are so important in this country…
Bryan Danielson gives some sage advice to wrestlers under 30 who are on TV and social media
"if you're younger and don't have that much experience, people are going to rip you apart...so getting reps in places where less people are going to criticize you is important"

Just so we’re clear, I no longer rely on Wrestling as my sole profession. So no I have not just ‘quit’ work. Thanks for the support though.

Must be nice to just quit work because your feeling down. Us common folks don't have this luxury. I m in the wrong profession.

It took 18 months to get an opportunity with a major Japanese Promotion after I took part in the tournament reviewed in this issue. It was tough breaking out in the early 2000’s. You had to be talented, patient and persistent.
