The XL Bully. British circuit experience, brought back to the EVO ring.

A former multiple-time BWR Tag Team Champion and a BWR mainstay, Rogan has also wrestled for New Generation Wrestling and NORTH. He brings hard-hitting singles and tag team experience into his coaching, with a focus on the timing, teamwork and crowd awareness that live shows demand.

He leads EVO’s advanced sessions, helping trainees put their skills together in the ring. For focused time on something specific, you can also request a 1-to-1 with Rogan through My EVO, from £30 an hour.

A wrestler and teacher who knows how to make the fundamentals stick.

Trained by Nathan Cruz at New Generation Wrestling, Ace has wrestled for BWR, NGW and NORTH. A BWR mainstay since 2017, he has held the Open Division Championship and brings years of live-show experience into his coaching. He has also worked holiday camp tours, where character, storytelling and connecting with a crowd matter as much as the moves.

With a background in school teaching, Ace brings experience of breaking things down and helping people learn. He leads EVO’s adult fundamentals sessions, giving new trainees a place to start and experienced wrestlers time to sharpen the basics.

From EVO’s Kids Club to tag team champions at Grimsby’s biggest venue.

Zac and Cam started in EVO’s Kids Club. They worked their way from those first junior sessions to winning tag team gold on the BWR stage at the town’s biggest venue, as well as competing for United Wrestling.

Now they coach the junior class where their own journey began. They know what it feels like to be the child taking those first steps in the ring, and can show young trainees where practice, teamwork and sticking at it can lead.

Learn the other side of the ropes from BWR’s senior referee.

Scott is BWR’s senior referee and has also refereed for promotions including PROGRESS, RevPro, TNT and New Generation Wrestling. Having trained as a wrestler before moving into refereeing, he understands a match from both sides.

At EVO, he leads referee training. It is a route into wrestling for people who want to be part of the action in a different role, covering the positioning, communication and awareness needed to help a match run.

Two decades in the ring, with experience coaching for AEW.

Nathan joined AEW as a coach and producer in 2025. His wrestling career includes AEW, Ring of Honor and PROGRESS, alongside years of touring the British circuit. He began wrestling in 2006 and trained EVO’s own Scotty Rawk, Rogan and Ace Matthews at New Generation Wrestling.

Nathan has also held the BWR World Championship. He brings that main-event experience, alongside his work coaching for AEW, to guest sessions at EVO, covering character, storytelling and how a match comes together.

From the British circuit to New Japan Pro-Wrestling and AEW.

Robbie has spent more than 19 years building a career known for its speed and high-flying wrestling. His work spans New Japan Pro-Wrestling, RevPro and CMLL in Mexico, as well as AEW’s Forbidden Door at London’s O2 Arena.

BWR’s first-ever Grand Slam Champion, Robbie has taken his wrestling from Grimsby’s own shows to major international stages. His guest sessions give EVO trainees the chance to learn the timing, control and preparation behind his high-flying style.

From Grimsby to a TNA Wrestling tryout in New York.

Scotty brings a decade of experience competing across the UK and Europe. A former BWR World, TIDAL and TNT Ultra X Champion, he has wrestled for RevPro, PROGRESS, NORTH and ICW, and successfully defended his championship against “Speedball” Mike Bailey in Poland.

In 2026, that career took him to Albany, New York, for a tryout with TNA Wrestling.

He brings that experience back to EVO, where the next generation can learn from someone who started in their hometown.
