Andy Murray (Born October 17th, 1977 in Aberdeen, Scotland, real name; Andrew Hugh Murray) is a professional wrestler of Scottish descent, best known for his runs in AWC (where he was Frontier Champion), FUSE and Global Championship Wrestling. His other notable achievements include holding the PCW Rising Star Championship and his induction into the OCW Hall of Fame. He is currently an employee of Global Championship Wrestling having debuted at NC-17 2007.

Early Life

Born on October 17th, 1977, Andy grew up in Aberdeen, Scotland, with his father John, mother Jessica, elder brother Sidney and younger brother Cayle. As a young lad, Andy always dreamed of becoming a professional football player, and leading out his beloved Aberdeen FC someday. However, it soon became apparent that this dream was never going to materialise; not because of a lack of support or a horrific injury, but because Andy simply wasn't that good at the sport (like many kids his age, it was little more than a pipe dream). A popular student throughout school, Andy developed into a bright, charismatic adolescent, who knuckled down hard and left school, aged 17, with some impressive academic qualifications.

Relocation to USA

After leaving school Andy decided to act on impulse and persue a career in professional wrestling instead of following the route of many of his peers and going to University. He had always been a massive fan of the sport growing up and found it a much more interesting career prospect than anything that University could push in his direction.

He soon ditched all plans of an academic career, much to his parent’s initial dismay, and began to learn the ins and outs of the sport under his brother Sidney - already an establish independent wrestler on the British scene - at a newly opened wrestling school based in Glasgow. It soon became apparent that a gem had been unearthed, and after just six months in the wrestling school, at the advice of his trainers, Andy, now aged 18 years old, relocated to Florida.

Andy rented a bungalow in Tallahassee with Sidney, who was also eager to crack the American scene. At first things were tough for Andy as h struggled to settle in to a new way of life, and it took him a great deal longer than he'd anticipated to establish himself as a viable contender in the Floridian scene. However after a couple of years he was well and truely off the ground.

Whilst training to pursue his newfound wrestling dream, Murray met English immigrant Jane McCluskey, who was taking a year's break from her studies in England to travel the world. The two soon fell for each other, and by the time Andy turned 19, they were married. Soon after moving in together, the couple's only child, Marvin, was brought into the world.
