GET engaged and win a world championship belt – it sounds like it could be a movie in the legendary

Rocky franchise.

But for champion wrestler Drew Galloway, it describes his last fortnight.

The Ayr-born grappler is on cloud nine after proposing to partner Kaitlyn at the Grand Canyon two weeks ago.

And the good times didn’t stop when she said “yes” as he then won the TNA World Heavyweight Championship last week.

It all represents a remarkable turnaround in the life of the man dubbed “The Busiest Wrestler in the World”.

Released by WWE in 2014, people wondered if the former criminology student at Glasgow Caledonian University could bounce back.

After moving to America and joining WWE in 2006, he married and divorced wrestler Taryn Terrell before backstage politics saw him released from the company.

Drew has since wrestled all over the world. He was in Germany last Friday, Scotland on Saturday, Germany again on Sunday, then America on Monday.

He said: “It’s been the happiest few weeks of my life and I feel like everything is on the up. Getting engaged was fantastic.

“We met in a bar. It isn’t the most romantic story in the world but I askedher to come on the road with me and she’s been with me ever since.

“We’re going to buy a nice house in Tampa, Florida. I feel at home in America because I’ve been here for eight years.

“Everyone looked at me when I was 24 and had won a championship in WWE and the attention was a bit much.

“It was such a whirlwind and I got a harsh introduction to the kind of people who say they’re happy for you but aren’t really.

“Now I’m a man and I’m 100 per cent ready to be a world champion again.

“It’s a fantastic feeling and I’m sure some people thought I was crazy with some of the lofty goals I set myself after being released.But I’ve smashed every single one.

“It’s still hard to process everything but there’s no time to stop. I’m the first travelling champion since Ric Flair. I’ll be going allover the world.

“This is my biggest success. I’m ready to take it forward and embrace the challenge.

“I think I’m the busiest wrestler in the world and I love it.”
