[edit] Career

Darren Burridge began his training in his late teens with the FWA Academy, in London and would go on to appear in the Frontier Wrestling Alliance promotion. After moving to the Dropkixx training school in Essex, he would be taught by "The Gay One" Vince Randell and Bobby Barnes.

Darren Burridge would first adopt the same gay gimmick comedy routine used by these two World of Sport legends (Randall and Barnes) as "Exotic" Baxter Burridge, but once established on the independent circuit he soon adapted it to his well-known King of Chavs gimmick "The Pukka One" Darren Burridge. Burridge would also wrestle outside the UK touring places like Thailand, Ireland, Austria, Germany, Italy, and Sicily.

He is considered to be one of the main faces of advertising on Sky's The Wrestling Channel and regularly commutes between the UK and Eire where he was the lead trainer for Irish whip Wrestling for a breif time.

Burridge would go on to become a popular wrestler in 1 Pro Wrestling; making his first appearance as part of a pre show match at its first event. From March 2006, Burridge became extremley popular with the fans when he started tag teaming with Colt Cabana as Team Shag. During 1PW's first anniversary show Team Shag won the 1PW Tag Team Championship during a three way ladder match against the defending champions Jonny Storm & Jody Fleisch, and the Southern Comfort team of Tracey Smothers & Chris Hamrick.
