10 Wrestling Facts We Didn’t Know Last Week (Aug 10)

9. Killian Dain Plucked Isla Dawn From Her Acting Background

Back before he was running amok in SAnitY, Killian Dain was a humble Belfast native living and working in Glasgow, Scotland. As the co-owner of the Scottish Wrestling Alliance, Dain (then known as Big Damo) also trained aspiring rookies at the Source wrestling school. A keen scout, he was always on the lookout for new talent.

To his credit, Dain went above and beyond to spot those with a passion for performing. That's how he met Mae Young Classic entrant Isla Dawn.

Whilst telling The Scottish Sun about her love of dancing and acting as a young child, Dawn revealed her love of kick-boxing as a teenager. When Dain later clapped eyes on her at a theatre production she was starring in, he heard her background, convinced Isla to give wrestling a go and argued her skills would transfer easily.

As it turns out, he was right. Dawn has blossomed into a confident performer, and she's starting to make her mark on the women's wrestling world.
