Episode 31: Morecambe Wrestling Training School Memories with Jynkz and Luke Future


Listen Later

In 2009, a wrestling training school opened in Morecambe. Two of the first budding grapplers through its doors were Kyle Winchester and Luke Vedick, who would later become known as Jynkz and Luke Future. Popular daredevil Jynkz went on to win the XWA British Flyweight Title, the XWA Best of the North West Cup and the AOW-UK Tag Team Titles in a glittering career in the Morecambe ring, while Luke Future competed for three of the North West's top promotions in XWA, PCW and FutureShock, all before he turned 18 years of age. But then both of these talented youngsters walked away from pro wrestling. Now they're back to tell their story, and it's a gripping one!
