Awards Moderator Onyx2 Posted February 14, 2019 Awards Moderator Share Posted February 14, 2019 Thanks to @Big Benny HGfor the list. Ten years on, where are the good and great of the UK scene? Arguably it's been one of the healthiest five years for UK wrestling so where have the pawns landed? I'm not an expert on all of the companies nor some of the gimmick changes, so where are they now? 1 Bubblegum  2 Spud (now Drake Maverick)  3 El Ligero (now Ligero)  4 Martin Stone (now Danny Burch)  5 Zack Sabre Jr  6 Dave Moralez (now Mastiff)  7 Johnny Moss  8 Mark Haskins  9 Joey Hayes  10 Martin Kirby  11 Kris Travis  12 Jonny Storm  13 CJ Banks  14 Joel Redman (now Oliver Grey)  15 Lionheart  16 Johnny Saint  17 Terry Frazier  18 Marty Scurll  19 Darkside  20 Cameron Kraze  21 Mad Man Manson  22 Stixx  23 Gilligan Gordon  24 Jetta  25 Robbie Dynamite  26 RJ Singh  27 Mikey Whiplash  28 James Mason  29 Sam Bailey  30 BT Gunn  31 Derice Coffee (now Ashton Smith)  32 Johnny Kidd  33 Liam Thomson  34 Jon Ryan  35 Sha Samuels  36 Danny Hope  37 Leroy Kincaide  38 Prince Ameen  39 Chris Renfrew  40 Falcon  41 Zebra Kid (now Roy Knight)  42 Sam Slam  43 Kid Fite  44 Dragon Aisu  45 Andy Simmonz  46 Red Lightning  47 Robbie X  48 Scott Renwick  49 Wolfgang  50 Paul Malen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daaaaaad! Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 10 hours ago, Accident Prone said: What's the story behind this? He left at the end of last year, describing it himself as having 'burned bridges'. Think there's certainly been some issue between him and Mark Dallas/ICW.
