Manther

This half man, half panther is turning heads in ECCW, and hopes to entertain fans for 72 hours at Wrestling with Hunger.

In one of the most interesting characters in ECCW since Abbadon, MANTHER has come onto the scene in ECCW like a cat on fire and he loves every second of it.

April of 2009 marks his one year in wrestling and what a way to celebrate than to help the community with Wrestling with Hunger! “It matters a lot to me. The reason that they are without could be out of their control. I want to ensure that if they need that food that it’s available.”

When approached to do Wrestling with Hunger, MANTHER jumped on the opportunity. “I am taking part of this amazing event for the opportunity to give back. I am a fairly new wrestler in the Pacific Northwest and want to try and give back as much as I can, while I am doing this great thing called Pro Wrestling. My friends and family think it’s fantastic that I am giving back to the community. Especially while doing something I love so much.”

MANTHER will be joining 19 other top flight ECCW superstars and he should prove to be one of the most energetic and charismatic of the bunch! If you have never seen this man live, it’s something special.

Five Questions with MANTHER

Q: What has been your favorite arena to wrestle in and why?
A: McLaren Park Arena, Penticton, BC. I was given the chance to wrestle on the NWA 60th Anniversary Show Tour. I wrestled Tony Baroni in front of 1,800+ fans. It was such a great experience.

Q: What’s your most memorable match?
A: The Halloween Hell Costume Battle Royal. I was dressed as a banana, I was Manana. (Manther + Banana = Manana… get it? Ha!) I handed out bananas on the way to the ring. I was that guy that everyone hates at Halloween handing out fruit to everyone. I was in the final three and was outsmarted by the Grinch. He gave me a present! But it turned out to be a ball of yarn and tossed it over the top rope. The ball of yarn got the best of me again.

Q: What is your biggest rival and describe your history with him?
A: I’d have to say Tony Baroni at this point. He came up through the Slam Academy a few months behind me. Now we’ve been in the ring together three times this year. I have been victorious two out of the three times!

Q: Who was your wrestling hero growing up?
A: Macho Man Randy Savage. He has so much pizzazz and flair. Always entertaining to watch and listen to.

Q: What do you wish to achieve in the next 12 months in your wrestling career?
A: I hope to be able to travel and wrestle around other parts of Canada and eventually venture into the United States.
