You best get used to hearing the name 'Noam Dar'. Okay, you best get used to pronouncing it first, with 'Noam' coming out not unlike 'gnome'.

Dar recently qualified for the WWE Global Cruiserweight Series by defeating Josh Bodom, cementing his spot in the 32-man field for the tapings coming next month. How far Dar can progress in the tournament remains to be seen, but the future ahead of the young Israeli-Scot is as bright as it gets.

Dar has wrestled for every single British promotion worth its salt, including Insane Championship Wrestling (ICW), Revolution Pro Wrestling (RPW), Preston City Wrestling (PCW) and others. The man has won numerous championships along the way, including having the honour of being the last ever 1PW Openweight Champion before that promotion folded.

Earlier this week, What Culture Pro Wrestling General Manager Adam Pacitti announced that Noam Dar would be challenging for the ROH World Title against Jay Lethal in Newcastle on June 16th at the promotion's opening show. After quickly selling out the arena, tickets were made available for an additional show the night before on June 15th. Grab your tickets now before they go.

Here's 9 things you didn't know about one of WCPW's founding roster members...

9. Noam Dar Was Born In Israel

Let's start with a little quiz; can you name a professional wrestler born in Israel? I'm sure there are a few names, but off the top of my head Noam Dar is the only one that comes to mind. Dar was born in the city of Tel Aviv, Israel's second largest after the capital Jerusalem.

Dar was born in July 1993, which makes him a terrifying 22-years-old at the time of writing. By 1993 I was already tired of Hulk Hogan. Israel doesn't exactly have the longest history of professional wrestling, but a successful career for Noam Dar could go a long way towards changing that.

Wikipedia tells me that there was an Israeli Pro Wrestling Association, but the promotion closed its doors in 2014. It still acts as a school however.

Born in the middle of Wales in the middle of the 1980's, John can't quite remember when he started watching wrestling but he has a terrible feeling that Dino Bravo was involved. Now living in Prague, John spends most of his time trying to work out how Tomohiro Ishii still stands upright. His favourite wrestler of all time is Dean Malenko, but really it is Repo Man. He is the author of 'An Illustrated History of Slavic Misery', the best book about the Slavic people that you haven't yet read. You can get that and others from www.poshlostbooks.com.
