Look at the fucking sheer size of this man. This gigantic titan is none other than Irish-born, 6’3”, 295 pound juggernaut, Big Damo O’Connor. Dubbed ‘The Beast from Belfast,’ Big Damo is thriving within the flourishing UK wrestling scene in promotions such as ICW, RPW and Progress Wrestling and the sky is the limit at the minute for his career.

Upon first look, one could not blame you for wondering why a very large, presumably lumbering wrestler is grabbing the headlines. Well simply put – he’s not lumbering at all – he is, in fact, the opposite.

Trained by NXT champion Finn Balor amongst others, O’Connor was formerly a solid technical wrestler but his fighting style evolved as his size grew; blending his previous technicalities with brutal brawling to create something that is quite simply, phenomenal. He has personally refined his craft to an absolute tee.

Seeing him soar from post-to-post, hit a phenomenal Celtic cross and perform a cannonball far bigger than WWE’s Kevin Owens really is a spectacle to behold – and the fans have really taken to Damo as a result. After all, there are few more thrilling sights in wrestling than an enormous fighter wrestling like an athlete half his size.

Having faced-off against the likes of Drew Galloway, Chris Masters, Tomohiro Ishii and even bloody Samoa Joe, the Irishman’s stock is rising at a rapid rate and I would not be surprised if a major promotion came sniffing around for him sometime soon as he is one of the UK scene’s hottest properties in 2015.

The Pride Wrestling champion (who should also be ICW champ, fuck you Jack Jester) has evolved emphatically in the past 12 months and his intimidating appearance paired with his aforementioned unreal abilities clearly make him a must-see act. Do yourself a favour and take any chance you get to see this colossus perform – you will not be disappointed.
