BT GUNN

The busiest wrestler in the world earlier this year, only Martin Kirby has had more matches in the UK in 2025, embarking on numerous Megaslam Wrestling tours representing Team Nasty wrestling the likes of Wesley Nsereko, Joey Hayes, Vusyk, and Sam Taylor.

March rolled round with a title win, taking the UEWA European Heavyweight Championship from Robert Star at VALOR ‘Superslam’ and taking the title everywhere and defending in a title versus title bout against POW Florida Champion August Artois that ended in a draw, plus defences against Frank of the Cross, Irn Dru Marshall, Mikey Devine, Buffa Aayooo, Jonny Storm, and Chaos. Gunn took the title to Iron Girders Pro Wrestling to defeat Chris Kingston, Branagan, and Big Mick in singles matches to retain.

Continuing at Iron Girders Pro Wrestling, Gunn came up short against Jason Reed in an Old Firm Street Fight at ‘Iron Kingdom’ in collaboration with Fan Frontier.

Gunn returned to Discovery Wrestling with a win over Umar Mohammed, and ending up in the final two of The Disco Derby before being pinned by Judas Grey. July saw BT Gunn appear at Bleeding Gums Wrestling for a first time ever one on one match against Jonny Storm, and a return to Insane Championship Wrestling to bring The Dangerous Brothers along with Kez Evans to home of insanity, defeating Victory Inc. in May at ‘We Run This Town’ with eyes on the ICW Tag Team Championships, defeating KOE at ‘Pour Wan Oot’ but an issue meant that Gunn was alone at ‘I Assure You, We’re Open’ in August and unable to advance in the tag title gauntlet. The Dangerous Brothers faced Arcade Violence with the titles on the line at ‘Scary Moves’ the October in a losing effort.

Back at VALOR, a surprise appearance at ‘Red Dead Wrestling III: Undead Nightmare’ to represent VALOR against The New Age Kliq teased a reunion with Chris Renfrew that was swerved with Gunn pinning Renfrew to win the elimination five on five main event to secure victory for the promotion.

Appearing at the majority of our featured promotions including Target Wrestling, Clan Wrestling, and Grado’s Big Family Wrestling Bash, BT Gunn has has a tremendous 2025.
