background
In 2007, professional wrestling referee Thomas Kearins jumped headfirst into the wrestling scene and hasn’t slowed down since. Embracing every chance that came his way, he rapidly worked his way up, calling the shots for major Scottish promotions before landing a spot at top independent promotion Insane Championship Wrestling in 2013. Kearins made history in 2018 as the first Scot to referee for WWE and has overseen thousands of matches across the UK, Ireland, Finland, and Spain.
