Ep. 46 - 'Welcome To Slammasters!' with wrestler, promoter & co-founder of Slammasters Wrestling, Jon Walker (aka Necrofago)

It's safe to say that the Welsh independent wrestling scene is as hot now as it's ever been, and it's in no small part due to the actions of people like my latest guest, wrestler and promoter Jon Walker.

Like many others, Jon grew up as a childhood wrestling fan and has found himself playing an active role in the industry in more recent years. Here he shares his story of how/when/where he discovered wrestling and what led him to want to become an in-ring performer himself.

We will also hear how Jon made his impromptu in-ring debut on a card headlined by wrestling legends Doug Williams and Cody Rhodes and how his in-ring persona has evolved over the years, leading to the development of his Lucha-style gimmick, Necrofago.

Jon then discusses how he and a friend embarked on their own journey as promoters, founding the increasingly-popular Slammasters Wrestling promotion in Wales, and the struggles that came with launching a new promotion right before lockdown in 2020.

Jon's is a truly inspiring story, and one that befits the surging popularity that Slammasters Wrestling has already experienced!
