Jim "Shoots" Turcan Celik

Regular contributor Jim from Chicago sent me these pictures he took in Kentucky back in 2008 while attending an event held by a little-known federation called Derby City Wrestling. I'll admit I have never heard of Turcan Celik, the wrestler featured in these photos, so I went and did a little research. Turcan, 6 ft. 2 in. and 240 pounds, has been wrestling since 2004. He has worked with over 25 promotions and is currently affiliated with Ontario Wrestling's Indie Elite (OWIE). Thanks to Jim for these great shots. I'll feature more on Turcan in the weeks to come.

Turcan's smaller opponent in this match is Fang.
"It was a squash with Turcan on top," says Jim.
