Dare to meet ‘Future Shock’ Tom Fulton: the only professional wrestler in Bucharest

The Scottish professional wrestler 'Future Shock' - by his real name Tom Fulton lives in Bucharest and teaches English at a private school.Romania-Insider.com — visited him at his studio in Catelu, near Bucharest.

‘Future Shock' Tom Fulton, the only professional wrestler living in Bucharest, was determined to make 2014 work. That year he opened the first wrestling school in Romania. He also started organizing a wrestling event that would feature his students and international wrestlers. A fan of grassroots movements, Tom wanted to organize a small show. In a relatively short time other people announced that they would like to partner with him into creating a bigger show. He was thrilled about having a big wrestling event in Bucharest, but at the last moment all the partners pulled out. ‘Future Shock' Tom Fulton felt disappointed and uncertain about what he should do next. But he took the ball and ran with it. He organized the event in a sports hall in Pantelimon. The show sold about 100 tickets. It was a good result for a city with no wrestling tradition, and ‘Future Shock’ felt in control again. But then, he got extremely badly injured during one of these shows. He couldn’t walk for months and he had to go to Germany for treatment. — Doctors told him that he wouldn’t be able to wrestle again.
