Mini-Post: Simon Miller

Before becoming a pro wrestler in 2018, Simon Miller was a journalist and presenter for WhatCulture  in 2016. He was responsible for the "Ups & Downs" program on WhatCulture's YouTube channel wherein he reviewed WWE shows and tackled issues in the world of pro wrestling. It was Miller's lifelong dream to become a pro wrestler so after getting in shape and training at Al Snow's Wrestling Academy in London, he made his pro wrestling debut in WCPW's No Regrets Rumble. He's appeared in only ten matches since then, but expect to see more of him in the months to come. Watch Miller face Martin Kirby in this June 2019 match.




Miller also hosts a podcast.
