Alton Thorne made his shocking return to Morecambe Wrestling at the 20th Anniversary of War on the Shore, appearing on the screen to challenge a man who'd driven him from the town eight years earlier - the Odyssey Pro Wrestling champion Andre Dekker. Now 'The King Freak' will challenge Dekker for the title at Mutiny on Saturday June 14. 'The Blast from the Past' has a long memory, is on a mission for revenge and this definitely comes across in this intense interview. Thorne speaks candidly about his career as one of the UK's top death match competitors, his memories of Hellbound in Alpha Omega Wrestling, and his VERY strong feelings about Dekker himself.
