If Looks Could Kill: Leon Shah

Those of you who have been following BCoW since 2010 would likely remember handsome British wrestler Leon Shah. Shah was active in the UK and European wrestling scene from 2010 to 2014. I don't know why he retired after just five years of being a wrestler and I also don't know what's become of him since then. He certainly seemed to have it all at his peak...height, the physique, charisma, and good looks.

Came across this meme and it gave me the idea to do a post on, what else? Headlocks.

Throwback Thursday : Leon Shah

It's too bad British wrestler Leon Shah retired early from pro wrestling. As per his bio on Wrestler's Database, Shah -- 6'3", 235 pounds -- wrestled for less than five years (from 2010 to 2014). In fact, he wrestled in only 31 matches throughout his career; he won 18 of those matches and lost 13. To this day, I still don't know why he quit/left the business. Let's look back at some of his best pictures from 2013 - 2014.

This was the very first image of Leon Shah I saw on the internet.

When not wrestling in Singles Matches, Shah was sometimes partnered with another good-looking Brit, Warren Brady. In overseas matches, Brady was pitted against his tag team partner Shah.
