Billy Suede

Billy Suede began his pro wrestling journey under the meticulous tutelage of former ECW, WCW, and WWE superstar Lance Storm at the Storm Wrestling Academy back in 2007. After a brilliant tenure in the Pacific Northwest independent scene, Suede set his sights on the global landscape and found success applying his craft in countries including Australia, the Philippines, Singapore and Malaysia. In his next chapter, “Ill Bill” is now a proud member and coach of the Lions Gate Dojo Team and is honoured and excited to contribute to the growth of aspiring pro wrestlers and to the pro wrestling community here in the Pacific Northwest. In his spare time Billy loves playing the drums and enjoys other leisurely activities such as golf, camping, and surfing.
