Celebrity trainers for Merseyside
wrestling school this weekend
All Star Wrestling’s Rock ferry-based training school again welcomes high profile guest coaches this weekend when duties at the Saturday and Sunday sessions (October 7th and 8th) will be shared between international heavyweight stars, dual world title holder Joe E.Legend and imposing North American globetrotter Broady Steele.
They become the latest top names from home and abroad to pass on their know-how to potential stars of the future at the All Star School which has gone from strength to strength since its launch earlier in the year.
Canada-born, Germany-based Legend was one of the coaches for last year’s ITV series ‘Celebrity Wrestling’ and is the holder of the Pan Pacific and German Stampede Association world titles, while Steele, who towers just a couple inches of short of seven feet above the canvas, is one of modern wrestling’s most travelled stars, recently returning to Britain from action in South Korea and Japan.
All Star, Europe’s top wrestling promotional organisation, set up the Training School at the Byrne Avenue Baths Complex, Rock Ferry, after being bombarded with requests from would-be wrestlers. Already trainees including Steven Cheers, ‘Ringo’ Ryan Ambrose, John Duffy, Tim Jones and the Davies brothers, Adam (15) and Simon (18), have had their first taste of competitive action in front of a live audience.
Now Steele and Legend will be on hand to help trainees towards their next incentive, the chance to appear in a first All Star presentation at the Pacific Road Complex, Birkenhead on Wednesday 25th October.
Previous guest coaches have included Merseyside’s own Robbie Brookside, wrestling’s original ‘Liverpool Lad;’ Canada’s ‘Stampede Kid’ T.J.Wilson; Harry Smith, son of the late ‘British Bulldog’ Davey Smith; and American globetrotter ‘Cincinnati Kid’ Chad Collyer.
The school’s resident team of instructors is headed by British Mid-Heavyweight title holder Dean Allmark and extra Friday evening sessions are now offered in addition to Saturday and Sunday workouts, including recently introduced Sunday morning training for 10 to 14 year-old boys or girls.
Anyone interested in learning the wrestling ropes can call at the Byrne Avenue Complex during Saturday and Sunday’s training to see Joe Legend and Broady Steele in action, or telephone for information to 0151-645-8233 or 07738-330316.
