The school, which opened its doors in 2014, trained Josh to become one of the fastest rising stars in the UK today, as shown when he became the first graduate of the academy to be featured on a show. At just 16 years of age, Terry made his debut as the first of 15 entrants in a Rumble Match. From the moment he wrestled his first match, Terry had been compared to a young <strong>Dynamite Kid<\/strong>, which is quite the accolade for such a young talent.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Johnny Moss Vs Josh Terry Training bout\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/G2j4Uv2ydjU?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Since making his proper debut, young Josh has been lighting up crowds at promotions such as <strong>Discovery Wrestling<\/strong> and his home company <strong>Target Wrestling<\/strong>, where he is a former two-time holder of the High Octane Division Championship (with his second reign coming to an end at the end of June at the hands of another up and coming star, <strong>Joseph Biggs<\/strong>).\u00a0As one of the main attractions at the Cumbrian-based promotion, it means Josh takes part in some of the biggest matches on the cards. 2018 has seen him squaring off with the likes of British wrestling legend <strong>Jody Fleisch<\/strong>, World of Sport&#8217;s <strong>Lionheart<\/strong>, and 2018 WWE United Kingdom Championship Tournament winner <strong>Zack Gibson<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Target Wrestling TV - Jonny Storm, Jody Fleisch &amp; Josh Terry vs Shady Nattrass, Havok &amp; Karnage\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/aVjiRzYRHL8?start=1&#038;feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>In this <em>205 Live<\/em> bout with Lio Rush, Terry looked like he belonged on the full-time roster.
