About Me

I am a pro-wrestler from Norway.

I am a pro-wrestler from Norway. In 1996, I made my wrestling debut for Brian Dixon's All-Star Promotions in the UK. Since then I have wrestled for a number of promotions across Europe, from Spain and Italy in the south to Norway and Finland in the north. Some of my career's highlights include being a triple champion in 2004-2005, holding three separate championships at the same time in promotions based in different countries, wrestling for promotions in nearly a dozen of countries, wrestling on the same shows as some of my long-time favourite wrestlers - and at last but not least: Making the foundation for the wrestling scene in Norway!
