Promoter
Having promoted wrestling events since 1994, Knight promoted his biggest show at the KC Arena in Hull, on 2 August 2004 which drew over 1,000 fans. Under the name of IWP, the show was supposed to be headlined by Jake ‘The Snake’ Roberts, who failed to show up. IWP returned to Hull on 6 November 2004, for a show headlined by D-Lo Brown versus Paul Burchill.
In May and June 2005, Knight promoted the FWA’s Carnage Tour – centred on D-Lo Brown and Joe Legend. The intention was for FWA to run shows at new venues in the Yorkshire area to build up new fan bases for the promotion.
Knight was also the regional promoter for several FWA shows at the Winter Gardens in Cleethorpes from 2003 to 2006.
Other media
In July 2007, Knight appeared on Britain’s biggest game show Deal or No Deal (presented by Noel Edmonds) on Channel 4. After serving his time as one of the ‘wing’ contestants opening the boxes for the main gameplayer, he finally got his chance to play the game and take on the Banker on 29 August 2007. Knight took a Deal at £10,0001 but had he played on, would have won £100,000.
Where are they now
Knight now lives in Cyprus. He occasionally returns to the UK and recently as of this writing held several wrestling seminars.
