Paul Everest Paul ' The Dragon Slayer ' Everest ( 3 May 1986 ) was an English trainee wrestler who attended the Runcorn Wrestling Academy training school and wrestled on their shows between February and September 2007 . Career . St Patrick ' s Day Massacre Paul Everest made his debut in the Irish Rumble on St Patrick ' s Day in front of 250 people at the Grangeway Community Centre . He entered the rumble as not - so - lucky number 7 ( of 15 participants ) and for a few minutes showed determination by assisting Hannibal Ramseed in his unsuccessful efforts to eliminate Greg " The Hatchet " Hammond . When Black Knight entered the ring he eliminated nearly everyone in his way . Everest made the mistake of standing up to Black Knight who eliminated him following a vicious clothesline and a brutal sideslam . Heart & Soul 2 At the next show , Heart & Soul 2 , Everest made his singles debut against Maverick and showed off a new gimmick . " The Dragon Slayer " ( an explorer , billed as being from the Himalayas ) entered the RWA arena wearing hiking boots , a winter coat , a rucksack and other accessories . His new entrance music was " I ' m Gonna Be ( 500 miles ) " by The Proclaimers . At the start of the match , Everest showed off his chain wrestling skills and got the better of his opponent before being cut off with a low blow . He survived a single leg crab submission attempt and a superkick but eventually succumbed to an RKO . Phoenix Rising Between Heart & Soul 2 and Phoenix Rising , the RWA made all its trainees take a bleep test twice in order to monitor improvements in their cardiovascular endurance . Everest and Zack Diamond would share the honours , winning one each . Diamond was happy to have someone who could match his stamina in the ring so issued a challenge for a singles match and Everest accepted . This was later changed to a tag match because Joker Rico was also furious at Everest for beating him during the bleep test on both occasions by a considerable margin . Paul Razor ( a novice traveller who accompanied Everest on his hikes ) offered to help and the match was on . In the tag team showdown , Everest showed off some new moves and good tandem offence with Razor . The duo lasted longer than the fans expected but the end came when Everest was distracted by Diamond and turned round into a Joker Rico spear . Rico then followed up with a backcracker and Diamond finished it off with a frog splash . After the bout , Rico and Diamond disgraced Everest ' s union jack flag with a variety of obscene gestures . Summer Showdown Everest next took on RWA owner Andy Baker as part of a gauntlet match . In this example of teacher vs student the teacher was truly the master . Everest could not overcome the technical skills of his powerful opponent and was pinned via roll up . Everest and Baker shook hands after the match but it was clear to see that Everest was disappointed with his third consecutive pinfall loss . Boiling Point The next challenge for Everest and Razor ( at this point called the Midnight Explorers ) came from the controversial team of Baz Mac and Pitbull ( also known as the Cowboys from Hell ) . Added to this was a unique stipulation called ' deep mountain rules ' in which the combatants could use any item from inside the backpack belonging to Everest . The cowboys jumped the charismatic explorers during their entrance to gain an unfair advantage and both teams engaged in a major brawl . During the match many items were used as weapons ( including a packed lunch , a boomerang and a rubber mallet ) . In the end , Pitbull managed to pin Everest following a spinebuster . Rumours . It is rumoured that Everest left the RWA and moved to the Highlands to focus solely on writing a book about his adventures around the world . However , he was recently spotted at in a gym in Leeds . The eyewitness reports said Everest was lifting weights and pounding the treadmill in preparation for a comeback at the 2012 Rumble in Runcorn in November .
