The acrobatic, lucha-libre, high flying style fit perfectly with Michael's natural athleticism and speed. He soon became one of the most popular characters in British wrestling.
His career reached new heights when we won the CSF all nations light heavyweight championship and was voted best cruiserweight in Britain. This earned him top billing on events and, despite being a light heavyweight, was the main event on all Combat Sports Federation shows.
