About
Greg Burridge is today best known as the trainer of AEW Champion Will Ospreay and he watched on with pride as 'The Aerial Assassin' became the first Brit to capture a world title on British soil at All In at Wembley Stadium. As a wrestler himself, Greg is one of the biggest personalities to set foot in a UK ring over the past 25 years, particularly during his time as 'The Pukka One' Darren Burridge, the brash and loveable Essex boy with the furry dice in his trunks! During this time period, Burridge came to Morecambe where he became a huge favourite of the FWA and the XWA fans in 2006 and 2007. Just days after he was there to witness Ospreay's triumph at the mecca of British sport, Burridge sat down with Greg Lambert to discuss his 25-year career in an in-depth, colourful and sometimes emotional interview.
