The Cruiserweight Classic is taking place at the perfect time for Damian Slater. The native of Australia is in the prime of his career and competing at a level most can only dream of. The smooth-as-silk wrestler is no stranger to accolades, having been included in the Pro Wrestling Illustrated 500 list on three separate occasions.

If you haven’t seen Slater compete, it won’t take long to realize why he is one of the more highly respected cruiserweights in the world. Slater’s innovative offense makes it nearly impossible for opponents to defend against him and often paves the way for his devastating inverted Michinoku Driver.

Slater calls himself “The World-Beater” and he will get a chance to live up to that billing when he competes against the greatest wrestlers from around the globe in the 32-man Cruiserweight Classic.
