Shawn Riddik Hometown:  San Diego, California Height:  5’ 11” Weight:  215 lbs. Birthdate:  April 26, 1983 Finishing Move:  Off Da Hook Wrestling Inspirations: Shawn Michaels, Ricky Steamboat, Macho Man, RVD, HHH Favorite Quote: “What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.” Comments: From little Hulkster to grown-up hot talent, Shawn Riddik has proven that determination and drive can pay off with career success.  Now in the business just over two years, Riddik has already proven a popular light show and major venue talent as a solo talent and as part of popular tag tandem Off Da Hook. A native of Moscow, Russia, few would suspect the good-looking and charismatic Riddik with foreign roots as he has no trace of an accent; but instead accents his ring action with both high flying and exceptionally proficient grounded moves.  As a talented athlete since his youngest days; Riddik had already become an aspiring teenage amateur boxer, who was on the verge of turning professional, when his pro wrestling heart made him turn instead to the squared circle instead of the fighting ring. Finding out about UPW as he attended a WWE Fan Fair back in 2001, Riddik quickly became one of Ultimate University’s most promising new talents and he soon teamed with Scott Young to form the successful Off Da Hook, which disbanded when Young left our fed about a year ago. Since then Riddik has continued solo, even garnishing a So-Cal Wrestling Rookie of the Year nod, until he returned to our fed as an active participant; now bringing his considerable talents back to arenas throughout the Ultimate Pro territories. So keep an active and wary eye out and look for this 20 year-old fire-breathing mat lion to bring the hottest wrestling action to your doorstep very soon…proving that his already gained ring reputation as a top young talent is very much On the Hook!
