Tony Flood is Canadian born pro wrestler and trainer. He has trained several wrestlers including Sarah Summers. Some of the individuals that he looked up to the most growing up were Cactus Jack, Vader, and Shane Douglas. He watched his frst show when he was 10yrs old and  recalled seeing Lucky Dane, Homicidal Steven Davis, and Intimidator Josh Totten wrestle.  One of the things that Tony is most proud of is his feud of the year in 2012 with rival LVK.  Another aspect of his career that he is proud of is“Being given the opportunity to have my own school to train anyone wanting to achieve their dreams, and pursue this crazy sport we call pro wrestling.” On a side note Tony expressed “I have a never ending  feud with Farmer Billy Hills and LVK.”
