How did you get started in Wrestling? I’ve wrestled since I was 12 years old in some capacity or another.
Year In Review: A 3 year veteran of the business, Chase Brown is just beginning to make his presence known in various promotions across the mid-atlantic. I encountered Chase first on twitter and then at the Pro Wrestling EVO Open Session at the end of August. Brown earned a spot on the ‘This is Wrestling’ Ippv participating in a Six Man match with five other competitors from the session. Chase is a fan of the old school style of wrestling listing influences like Lou Thesz and having been trained by former NWA great “The Raging Bull” Manny Fernandez. In the last three months, Brown has made his debut for several promotions including TSW, PWX, and Pro Wrestling Evo and as his mission statement says he just wants to have incredible matches. Look for more of Chase Brown at an indy show near you as he prepares for the next chapter in his career.
2012 Mission Statement: “I want to have incredible matches. That’s all.”
