I was born, and have lived my entire life in Belfast,NI, although I do not intend that to be the case forever. As a young 'un, I dreamed of becoming a famous comic book artist. I abandoned that idea, and studied film, with the hope of making it as a director. I found it too stressful, and myself too fickle and unfocused to do this, and abandoned that idea also. I'm now, after much stumbling, attempting to make it as a writer.
At the moment I'm stuck working in the retail business, which i've been involved in for many years now. But i stay positive through my wrestling related columns, which i contribute to www.pwinsiderxtra.com. I also produce Ring of Honor DVD reviews for Fighting Spirit Magazine, and am working on several fiction novels at any given time.
Right now, my biggest focus is on our great new website,
www.ifight365.com/
Who I'd like to meet:
Likeminded people. The aspirational,the lost,creative types. Anyone with advice or inspiration, or just plain kind words. Folk who wish to talk Pro-wrestling, and/or pay me to talk pro-wrestling.
Alex Shane’s 7 Day wrestling training camp July 20th
“The Showstealer” Alex Shane is once again running his annual 7 day wrestling training camp this Summer. The camp begins on Monday July 20th at 10am and concludes on Sunday July 26th at 5pm. Unlike his previous camps, which were in Manchester this camp will be held at the new RQW House facility in Dagenham, Essex which is on the London Tube map.
The camp will cover everything from the basics of wrestling all the way up to the most advanced and complex of principles making it suitable for both beginners and experienced wrestlers alike. Your progress will also be filmed and given to you at the end of the camp itself in order for you to keep track of your progress. This camp is ideal for those who want to learn the very most that they can in the shortest space of time. Alex Shane, whose pro wrestling training book was released last month, has trained hundreds of top names on the UK scene and several who have made it on to be contracted to the WWE. This is your chance to learn from his 17 years experience as one of the top wrestlers, promoters and teachers in Europe over the last 15 years.
