Paul Ryker - Then & Now
Remember Paul Ryker, the Canadian ex-Scots Guard (Iraq) who wrestled in the UK for a few years? He was first featured on this blog about four or five years ago. According to Cagematch.net, Ryker also wrestled under the names Commando and Paul Synott (his real name) during his five year stint appearing in shows for companies like IPW:UK, Progress Wrestling, WrestleForce, and a few others. He was WrestleForce's International Champion twice circa 2013-2014. After pro wrestling, he turned to acting and modelling, although he says he is still a pro wrestler in all his current profile descriptions. Maybe someday, Ryker will return to the squared circle. Wouldn't that be a welcome comeback? Here are some images of Ryker from the Beefcakes of Wrestling archives:
And here's Paul Ryker these days.

I was going to add the Falcon (vs JJ, 2016) LDN match if nobody else did. Beat me to it! Anon.
DeleteSaw some really hot photos of him from WrestleForce, mostly being squashed and humiliated. Too bad they aren't available anywhere on videos, the last time I checked.
ReplyDeleteI feel your pain. When I see the cobra clutch sleeper photos pop up from time to time, it drives me crazy there's no video of the match to be found
DeleteI don't know why hair makes a huge impact on me ... I like him when he has less hair gel and/or shorter hair ...
ReplyDeleteHe's currently dating a trans woman
