Greg Burridge (born 12 September 1981) is a British professional wrestler. He is best known for his work on the independent circuit throughout the United Kingdom and Europe. Greg is the head trainer along with Garry Vanderhorne at the London School of Lucha Libre. Burridge is credited for training former Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA) wrestler Baron Dax.
Burridge began his training in his late teens with the FWA Academy, in London and would go on to appear in the Frontier Wrestling Alliance promotion. After moving to the Dropkixx training school in Essex, he would be taught by "The Gay One" Vince Randell, Bobby Barnes and Tony Scarlo.
Burridge would first adopt the same gay gimmick comedy routine used by these two World of Sport legends (Randall and Barnes) as "Exotic" Baxter Burridge, but once established on the independent circuit he soon adapted it to his well-known King of Chavs gimmick "The Pukka One" Darren Burridge. Burridge would also wrestle outside the UK touring places like Thailand, Austria, Germany, Italy, and Sicily as well as become the head trainer at Irish Whip Wrestling.
He was considered to be one of the main faces of advertising on Sky's TWC Fight! and regularly commutes between Britain and Ireland where he was the lead trainer for Irish Whip Wrestling for a brief time. Burridge would go on to become a popular wrestler in 1 Pro Wrestling (1PW); making his first appearance as part of a pre show match at its first event. From March 2006, Burridge became extremely popular with the fans when he started tag teaming with Colt Cabana as Team S.H.A.G. (Street Hooligan Adventure Gang).
