This week we are joined by a true global ambassador of British Wrestling Joel Redman. Joel is one of the most influential figures in modern British professional wrestling — former WWE NXT Tag Team Champion (one half of the first-ever NXT Tag Team Champions alongside PAC), multiple-time UK Tag Team Champion, 2x All Star Wrestling Super Slam Champion, and current Head Coach of All Star South.
Joel shares his complete wrestling story — from judo training in Devon and wrestling on hay bales, to grinding long UK road trips, breaking into the British indie wrestling scene, and ultimately earning a WWE contract during the crucial FCW to WWE NXT transition.
This episode is a deep dive into pro wrestling fundamentals and training, covering legit takedowns, leverage, conditioning, ring psychology, calling matches on the fly, and why British & European wrestling styles are still vital in today’s wrestling industry. Joel also shares real coaching insight on wrestling schools, UK independent wrestling, and what young wrestlers must do to succeed professionally.
Expect real stories, elite coaching knowledge, and unfiltered insight into the past, present, and future of British wrestling — straight from a true British wrestling ambassador.
