Episode Synopsis
Mohammad Al Shehhi: The Emirati Who Quit His Day Job To Start A Wrestling RevolutionWhat happens when a young Emirati decides to ditch his conventional career path and dive headfirst into the high-flying world of professional wrestling? This week on EventNewsDXB, we're talking to Mohammed Al Shehhi, known to fans as "Shaheen" (Arabic for falcon), who traded 9-5 and office politics for suplexes and theatrical combat.Mohammad opens up about how he went against the expectations of both family and society and embarked on a remarkable double life: corporate professional by day, aspiring wrestler by night. His persistence paid off. Three years after founding WrestleFest DXB, Mohammed has transformed humble beginnings (the first show had just five audience members) into Dubai's most unique sporting spectacle with regular sold-out events.Podcast Rundown1️⃣ Mohammed's Journey into Wrestling 2️⃣ Living a Double Life 3️⃣ Building a Wrestling Promotion 4️⃣ Creating a Community-Driven Event 5️⃣ WWE Connections and Future Aspirations 6️⃣ Television Dreams and Next Steps Production Credits: Presented by: Ian CarlessStudio Engineer & Editor: Roy D'MonteExecutive Producers: Ian Carless & Joe Morrison Produced by: EventNewsDXB & W4 Podcast Studio Support us!
