Douglas Durdle
When you talk to foreign wrestlers and fans about their view of British wrestling, the universal opinion seems to be that Great Britain has produced some of the greatest technical wrestlers that have ever lived. If this is true then Doug Williams may well end up on the top of that list before all is said and done.
The "Anarchist" has plied his trade all over the world, wrestling in America, Japan and throughout Europe, representing the UK every step of the way. A former Judo Champion, "Made in Britain" Doug Williams was born to be the British Champion - a belt he has held with pride on two occasions. Williams has fought off challengers from all over the world looking to make a name for themselves by winning the British heavyweight title. Turning them all away, he even went all the way to the USA to beat the `Fallen Angel' Christopher Daniels and bring the belt home at the start of 2003. He has held onto it with a firm grasp ever since.
Known in the US as the "Human Torture Device", Doug has beaten the very best in the world - including the likes of WWE star Eddie Guerrero, former ECW Champion Jerry Lynn, and top independent star, American Dragon. Now in his 30s, many believe that the best of Williams is still yet to be seen.
When all is said and done, Doug Williams may well be the greatest British wrestler of all-time.
