Iestyn Rees Biography
A former member of The Thrillers, the towering Iestyn Rees made a huge impact in IPW:UK when he arrived in the promotion in 2008.
Under the tutelage of ‘Gentleman’ Gilligan Gordon, The Thrillers rose to dominance at that time and continued to dominate in IPW:UK until 2010. During this time, Iestyn Rees became cemented his position as the crown jewel of The Thrillers and as one of the premier wrestlers in the UK when he defeated ‘The Guv’nor’ Martin Stone to become the Undisputed British Heavyweight Champion.
Rees enjoyed many successful title defences against the likes of Al Snow and Martin Stone before injuries took their tool on the champion. These injuries would play a part in Rees losing the championship and his IPW:UK career has since been stalled by knee problems. Despite this, Rees has had his sights set on a return to prominence ever since his title loss and is reportedly back to full fitness.
Whilst little has been seen of Iestyn Rees since 2010, his manager, Gilligan Gordon has taken up a place at ringside as a commentator for IPW:UK live events. Sources suggest that Gordon is quietly obsessed with taking his man back to the top of the wrestling world and his simply biding his time.
With experience, size and Gilligan Gordon at his side, if a healthy Iestyn Rees were to return to an IPW:UK in the near future, is there anyone that would stand in his way?
