Look, I know I already shared these pics, but, bare with me...

Today I got to meet my heroes, one of which being a bucket list for a particular reason!

When I've been honest with myself, as much as I loved Owen, D'Lo, Jarrett, Taker...there are 4 guys who really made me want to be a wrestler and that was X-Pac, Goldust, Scott Hall and @realkevinnash. I've had the amazing chance to be able to finally tell 3 out of those 4 that information, and, thankfully all seemed touched by that. Sad I'll never get to tell Scott. 🖤

@realrubysoho epitomises why I fell in love with women's wrestling. Sure, Lita was cool, Trish is arguably the GOAT, but, just something about Ruby. When I really got into the indies, and got turned onto Shimmer, she caught my eye immediately, and I was so happy to take her on that trip down memory lane. Not ashamed to say I've stolen a few of her spots in the past, and just been an incredible journey for her. 💚

Wrestling has given me so much, and it's days like today where I can tell people just how much it's given me. I'm so grateful and my heart is full by @stevedeanrefs

I'll do a full post closer to the end of the year, but the last decade of working as a referee has been a blast - as it stands only a couple of shows left...

But by far and away, the most rewarding part has been the past five years working in deathmatch. Kumite was the start of that and where it had to end.

I'll still be part of Kumite going forward, just in a very different role. But I can't thank Mat and Fletch enough for taking that initial chance on me.

To all the amazing talent I've had the opportunity to work with, from deathmatch royalty like Necro Butcher, Callen Butcher, Alex Colon, Mickie Knuckles and Iceman. To the DMO/Brit Death stalwarts Joe, Danny, Caden, Clint, Jack Harrop and BTT. To the absolute man that Gary Jay is, and amazing imports I've got to work with in particular The Goons and MERC. To the guys who are going to keep holding it down in future, Jack Bennett, Antonio, Tommbie and Franco. To the amazing fans, in particular SomethingSomething, Alice, Pazuzu, Lucy, Elly, Athers, Sue (miss you 🖤) & Sam - you're the best! And finally to Alton who believed in me when I didn't believe in myself and having the gall to call me one of the premier deathmatch refs... THANK YOU!

Kumite opened a lot of doors for me, personally and professionally, and I'm grateful I ever got the chance.

That's all from the death zebra 💀🦓🖤

Them: "you go on holiday in 6hrs"
Me: "cool, time for a workout"

Was also digging the lighting, big up to @thefitnessmillderby for that 🫡

Taking it back to Fight Factory Wrestling UK Bodyslams to Cancer 2021 and crowning Kiya the new FFW Women's Champion

Fight Factory's Bodyslams to Cancer shows are always wonderful, and I'm so grateful to have been part of the first one after the pandemic. Much love to Becca and Dutch for their efforts
