It's not very often that we get to speak to an International Wrestling Superstar, but this week saw The Mexican Sensation, El Ligero, take on TNA British Bootcamp Winner, Mark Andrews. The venue was Leeds' own Tidal Wrestling Championship and through his personal translator, we managed to get a short interview with him after the show......
What's your earliest memory of wrestling?
Watching the main event of WWF WrestleMania 8, Hogan vs Sid, on a tape that my dad had borrowed from my cousin, who was already a big wrestling fan. That was in 1992, and I was 8 years old.
Who were your inspiration(s) to become a wrestler?
When I was a child, Hulk Hogan and Randy Savage were my favourites. When I started my teens, I'd say Mick Foley and Spike Dudley, as I became a bit of a hardcore fan. From when I started taking wrestling seriously though, Shawn Michaels became a huge inspiration.

All the interviews we will be conducting are with current wrestlers that you can catch at your local promotions, which should be listed on our handy UK Promotions Map!
So without further ado - let's welcome our first interviewee - Lana Austin!
What's your earliest memory of wrestling?
My earliest memory of wrestling is watching the WWF with my dad and being so scared of The Undertaker, haha.
Who were your inspiration(s) to become a wrestler?
My inspirations have to be the Hardy Boyz and Lita. Also my big brother, Lee Austin, always pushed me to start training and kept pushing me when I was there. Another big inspiration who believed in me, made me believe in myself and always helped me to become better, is Tyson T-Bone, I will always be thankful for all the help he gave me.
