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.
