Bio A fan of wrestling since he was just four years old, Diesel for a long time thought he’d never get a chance to emulate his heroes in the ring.
Back when he discovered the sport on TV, it was primarily an American product. But Diesel was a boy growing up in Thailand, where pro wrestling was non-existent.
Still, he wanted to fight, and so as a young adult tried his luck in MMA and in his national martial art of muay Thai. They weren’t his passions, but they gave him valuable experience, and he performed well.
A few years later, Thailand’s very first pro wrestling gym and promotion was launched. Gatoh Move, a spinoff of a Japanese company, trained and fought out of a little shophouse in downtown Bangkok, but quickly grew its reputation. Diesel was there from the start.
A decade on, Gatoh Move transitioned to SETUP Thailand Pro Wrestling, the kingdom’s premier homegrown promotion and championship.
Diesel, as one of his country’s pioneers in the sport, has been its standout competitor, twice winning SETUP’s most prestigious belt, among other accolades, as well as representing his brand and nation in competition around Asia.
Accolades Two-time SETUP Openweight champion, former SETUP 24/7 Champion, WWE Shanghai tryout competitor, former SPW Tag Team Championship challenger, former SPW Southeast Asia Championship challenger
