Jon Walker has loved wrestling ever since he was a child.

Although, he never took it up himself until adulthood.

A slightly drunken conversation at a WWE live show lead to a six year wrestling journey.

Persona changes...

Titles won...

And even running a series of sell-out shows!

In this episode, Jon discusses life at the sharp-end of the South Wales wrestling scene.

Appearing on the same card as ex-WWE and AEW superstar Cody Rhodes on his debut...

Defeating ex-NXT UK wrestler Joseph Conners...

And falling out of love with the business before coming back more successful than ever!

If you ever wondered how to become a pro wrestler...

You will not want to miss this!

Quote:

"I'm going to give this a go. If I can figure out how to give it a go... I'm going to give it a go" - Jon Walker.

Jon Walker Reveals:

- The match at SummerSlam 1991 which made him fall in love with wrestling... and it wasn't the Main Event which featured legends Hulk Hogan and The Ultimate Warrior!

- The moment he decided to take up wrestling while attending a WWE Live show... where a seemingly bored pair of Uso's inspired him to step into the squared circle himself!

- Why he regretted his Jonny Narcissist character being a crowd-displeasing heel... and the reasons why a fan-favourite babyface is a much easier role to play!

- How being stood next to the promoter during a time of crucial decision making handed him his first match... on the same card as ex-AEW TNT champion Cody Rhodes!

- How he was selected by chance yet again as his current, masked Necrofago character... this time to face, and beat, former NXT UK wrestler Joseph Conners!

- The numerous challenges he faced when setting up his Slam Masters Wrestling promotion... such as not having a ring to perform in!

- Who is top of his "wish list" to appear on a future show... this former WWE Intercontinental champion is arguably the hottest wrestler on the indie circuit right now!
