The self proclaimed "Showstealer" has achieved much for a man of only
24 years of age. Entering the wrestling business at only 13 years old,
Alex has been around the sport for almost half his life. Not only is he
a former British Heavyweight and three-time FWA tag team champion, he
is also the managing director of the Frontier Wrestling Alliance.
Alex spent much of the last 3 years devoting his time to spreading the
word of British wrestling, through various television appearances,
newspaper and magazine articles, and even as the host of the Talksport
Saturday night wrestling radio show. But being the public face of the
UK scene took its toll on Alex and brought the Showstealer just as many
critics as it did followers.
At the inaugural British Uprising, Alex returned - as a beloved
fan-favourite - from a serious neck injury which had kept him out of
wrestling for eight months. One year later, at British Uprising 2, he
did the unthinkable, turning his back on his company and the fans by
saving his then arch-enemy, Greg Lambert, from an Ulf Herman
chair-shot. He then turned on his near 7ft tag-team partner in front of
a stunned crowd at Bethnal Green's York Hall. The new Alex Shane was
born.
Standing 6' 8" and weighing in at just shy of 300 pounds, Alex Shane is
a giant of the British wrestling scene. But don't be fooled by his size
of the most violent matches in FWA history, there's no questioning the
lengths that "The Showstealer" will go to to hurt an opponent. This,
coupled with his new found anger towards the very business he used to
love, will make Alex Shane an incredible force to be reckoned with in
2005.
