I've just shoved a calendar-style thing on my Facebook page, so you can see where I'm going to be, what I'm going to be doing, and when! Now it's easier than ever to come say hi at Gay Bum gigs, Ghost Squad race hauntings, comic conventions and wrestling shows! Hopefully that means I won't keep ...

After 10 weeks away from Lucha Britannia, El Nordico Fuego returned to clash horns against moustache against Jerry Bakewell. After the initial haka contest (because why not?), Jerry used his size, experience and eye-poking abilities to get the best of Nordico in the opening stages of the match. ...

"Because wrestling in York Hall is a once in a lifetime experience!" I protest, trying to explain why I am planning to perform at the Greatest Spectacle of Lucha Libre, then immediately flee 90 mins across London and out to Reading to play a guest show for Metal 2 The Masses. "How many times have...

After a year of battle (on the day before my birthday) I have finally been crowned KING OF LUCHA CHAOS! "Down in London, in the very weird world of the RetroFutureVerse, Freddie Mercurio became a two-time Lucha Britannia champion, downing Cassius in the main event of a show which also featured Ma...

IT HAS BEEN ONE YEAR SINCE MY DEBUT AT LUCHA BRITANNIA! And what a year it has been... It really should try to compile some of my favourite moments... For the meantime, this will have to do: Merry xmas and a happy winter holiday from El Nordico Fuego! I'll be back and tearing it up at ...

[gallery type="rectangular" ids="7137,7134"] Another month of Lucha Britannia mayhem has come and gone - this time with none other than Juventud Guerrera on the show! Sadly, I didn't get to work with him again, like at Wahaca. This time around, El Nordico Fuego found himself in yet another Luc...

Here's a turn-up for the books! Lucha Britannia was asked to perform at Wahaca's Day of the Dead Festival: 12 hours of bone shaking music, food art and culture, celebrating contemporary Mexico, the living and the dead. After putting on a lucha libre workshop during the afternoon, we tore it up...

Over the last few weeks, I have been doing some camp wrestling. I know what you're thinking: all wrestling is pretty camp, Ed. Yes, you're right. It's acting, darlings. SHOWBIZ! Entertainment always: panto at a push. What I am referring to, however, is wrestling FOR camps. Summer camps. It's g...

I've been called a lot of things in my time, but "wrestling, writing stunt-musician" pretty much hits the nail on the head. Although it does sound as though I stand in for real musicians, when a gig is too dangerous... Which, for the record, sounds like my kind of thing. I'm hoping Rob Zombie wil...

Holy shit. I have just finished three nights wrestling at York Hall, alongside some the greatest names in Lucha Libre. That included Dr. Wagner Jr., El Hijo Del Santa, Cassandro El Exotico, Magnifico, Angel Blanco Jr., Mascarita Sagrada, Ray Man, Zumbi and Heddi Karaoui. It was...indescrib...

This month's Lucha Britannia was EPIC! Here is the Royal Ramble highlight reel: And here are some shots (of me) from AbolsutQueer photography: [gallery type="rectangular" ids="6843,6848,6847,6846,6845,6850,6851,6853,6854"] On the downside, I broke both my feet. Doing a moonsault. Thu...

At last! Captain Rumbeard, the Lucha pirate, has made his debut! 'twas a dark and stormy night, 'pon the highest seas... Honest. OK, it was a pleasant afternoon in East London, on the London School of Lucha Libre Student Supershow. Either way, bedrunken and bedazzled, Captain Rumbeard storm...

This weekend, I had my debut at Wrestleforce, as Surtr and the Sons of Muspell: a team created somewhere in the back of my imagination whilst I was sleeping, and managed - on this occasion at least - by Jack Hammer. Our opponents were Italian Dan and Subject 265 (or Bacon, as he was affectionatel...

El Nordico Fuego lost his Crown of Lucha Chaos tonight. I blame two things. Firstly, the colossal hangover from seeing Outcryfire and Evil Scarecrow the night before, after which I left all my valuable personal possessions on the tube. Secondly, the brute power of Maduk Malik – the thus-far und...

Just a few photos for you today, from behind the scenes during the shooting of Love Is Not Control, the video I made for To Kill a King. [gallery type="rectangular" ids="6616,6618,6619,6617,6620"]...

If you drink enough and fight enough, sooner or later this happens... Over the next couple of weeks, I'll be out and about across the UK with the biggest tequila company in the world. Giving out tequila...obviously Luchadore? Luchamore!...

Just before Christmas, I had the ludicrous honour of featuring in a De La Muerte film, made for the new To Kill a King single, Love Is Not Control. I've known To Kill a King (in various forms) for many years, since they played the same Leeds music scene that gave rise to Gay Bum. Why they...

Less than 24 afters after my tag debut at Lucha Britannia, I was back again - for my solo debut! Hurled into the madness of the eight-man Lucha chaos match, it was the perfect way to get experience of the show without the pressure of planning and performing a single or tag match. Instead, I we...
