I am Michael James Cook and I have been a fan of pro wrestling since 1991 and the very first thing I saw was 'Macho Man' Randy Savage in the Barber Shop on Wrestling Challenge announcing that he will marry Miss Elizabeth at Summerslam 91.
I did not have a clue why Savage was in a Barber Shop and why he wasn't wrestling in the ring. Then I realised that it wasn't like the British wrestling my dad liked. What I was watching was a drama, entertainment, a story book world where people settled disputes in the ring and I was hooked.
My favourite wrestlers have to be 'Macho Man' Randy Savage, Bret Hart and Shawn Michaels. These days my favourites are AJ Styles, Kevin Owens, Chris Jericho, Naito, Jay Lethal and Adam Cole.
Some of my favourite matches are 'Macho King' Vs Ultimate Warrior at WrestleMania 7, Hart Foundation vs Steve Austin, Legion of Doom, Goldust and Ken Shamrock at Canadian Stampede.
2015 was the start of me wanting to broaden my horizons when it comes to pro wrestling. I love WWE but checking out other promotions is not a bad thing. So I went out to see shows in the UK. I have been to see ICW, Progress Wrestling and my local Carlisle Promotion Target Wrestling.
