11. He Was Paralysed And Told He Would Never Walk Again
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xBt6BPue5uo Brian struggled with back pain for years until one day he woke up and simply couldn't walk anymore. He went to see specialists who told him that he would likely never walk again. He was devastated but determined to overcome the paralysis, and with time and hard work, he made it out of his wheelchair and was able to get around using a cane. He had to deal with the pain every day, but eventually he was able to drive his car again and he was getting stronger, proving the doctors wrong.

James spent several years wrestling on the British independent circuit, but now prefers to write about the bumps and bruises rather than take any of them. His past in-ring experience does however give a uniquely more "insider" perspective on things, though he readily admits to still being a "mark" at heart.
James is the Chief Editor and writer at historyofwrestling.co.uk and is responsible for the best-selling titles Titan Sinking, Titan Shattered, and Titan Screwed, as well as the Complete WWF Video Guide series, and the Raw Files series.
