Stormin' Norman

This is the first appearance of independent wrestler Norman Meklakov. I couldn't find Meklakov's stats online, but there are matches of him on YouTube that date back to 2015, so maybe that's the year he started wrestling professionally? In some matches, Meklakov is also billed as The Soviet Saint. Watch this classic Russian heel in this March 2021 match against Brett Michaels here. P.S. When Meklakov isn't mauling his opponents in the ring, he expresses his gentler side through painting and flipping furniture.
