LIAM WRESTLES WITH LOFTY PLANS
REMEMBER the name Zeke Andino – this Gold Coast wrestling prodigy could be the next big thing in American professional wrestling.
The man behind the persona, Liam O’Donnell, has just returned from a fourmonth stint in the US where he trained at the Black and Brave Wrestling Academy, learning all the tricks of the trade from WWE stars Seth Rollins and Marek Brave.
Now the Burleigh Waters local is back on the Coast before heading off to participate in matches in Sydney and around Australia to raise his wrestling profile.
“It was pretty intense but I learnt a lot about wrestling,” he said. “We’d spend hours training and then do matches on the weekends.”
The wrestling fanatic has only been in the sport since March last year, but has his sights set on a career in the big leagues.
Mr O’Donnell said his wrestling persona, Zeke Andino, was a “laid-back” surfer-type named after famous boardriders Ezekiel Lau and Kolohe Andino.
