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!

Enjoy the Video Version of Episode 21:

“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.

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!
