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...

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...

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...

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!...

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...

This Friday was my debut at Lucha Britannia. As far as I'm concerned, London School of Lucha Libre is the greatest wrestling school in Europe and Lucha Britannia is the greatest regular wrestling show (even though it's technically a caberet night) in Europe, too. Having been a student of LSL...

This weekend, before rocketing up to Leeds for a family outing to see Slash, I stopped by Guildford to inhale smoke grenades, set fire to my hands and hammer white-hot steel, until the sparks melted holes in my tiny spandex tights. All in a day's photoshoot, with the great Gary Dooton! [galler...

As you're probably aware, I train at the London School of Lucha Libre. It is a truly unique school based in the Resistance Gallery (ResGal) in Bethnal Green, London. The ResGal is much more than a home for my wrestling school, however. It's a base for a massive number of creative, alternative, ar...

Today, my friend Lucy shared this video with me. I enjoyed it and it got me thinking about where I would like to see the professional wrestling industry go in the future. It is easy to complain after watching two hours of old men shouting into microphones, interspersed with a handful of dull scraps....
