Mike Candeland

Michael James Candeland (born 7 November, 1996) is an English backyard wrestler currently wrestling for the Corporation of Trampoline Wrestling (CTW) under the ring names Mike Candeland and Side.

Background
Michael Candeland joined the Corporation of Trampoline Wrestling in October 2010, at the age of thirteen. The Mike Candeland gimmick was created before CTW's inception, as it was used by Candeland in previous backyard wrestling events.

Character
The gimmick is more an extension of Candeland's real life personality than an actual character and is one half of the tag team Matty & Candy with Matty Cassidy. Candeland's in-ring style is a balance of strikes, throws, submission holds and aerial manoeuvres. Despite his occasional in-ring heel-like tactics, Candeland remains popular with the fans.
