In this week’s episode we are joined by Sean MacKenzie – Wrestling’s Main Event Mercenary in a deep-dive into UK pro wrestling with one of the fastest rising stars.
Host Brett Summers sits down with Sean “Mr. Main Event” MacKenzie, the Rizen Limitless Champion, to break down exactly how to become a professional wrestler in the UK — from discovering WWE to training at All Star South wrestling school (Joel Redman) and building a name in British wrestling.
In this episode, Sean explains what pro wrestling training is really like: running the ropes, taking bumps, wrestling conditioning, HIIT cardio for wrestlers, strength training, mobility work, and the fundamentals of technical wrestling and chain wrestling (lock-ups, headlocks, wristlocks, takedowns, footwork, and ring positioning). He also reveals how indie wrestlers get booked, how to use networking, showing up, and refereeing as a way into the business, what life is like on the road in UK independent wrestling, and why the phrase “wrestling is fake” disappears the first time you take a real body slam.
Sean also talks about Progress Wrestling, RevPro, his rise in Big Powerhouse Wrestling, upcoming matches in Risen Wrestling and All Star South, and what it takes to build a marketable wrestling character that promoters want to book in the UK and Europe.
