Charlie Charles
Charlie has been a wrestling fan since the second summer of love in 1989 and is the lovechild of Bad News Brown and Sweet Sapphire (it says here).
He dabbles in the world of deejaying, radio presenting, producing, podcasting, and voiceovers, and sometimes in the world of pensions.
His claim to fame is that Shawn Michaels lived in his hometown of Reading when was younger, and that he had a “Matt Riddle” next to Kevin Owens in Orlando Airport.
He is a connoisseur and vinyl collector of underground dance music from the 90s.
The best fight he has ever seen was Bret Hart v Stone Cold Steve Austin at Wrestlemania 13 (kayfabe or not).
His philosophy on life comes from Bobby ‘The Brain’ Heenan. “Relatives are like fish, after three days they stink, and remember a friend in need is a pest!”
