Introducing our Man on the Ground Estaban! Ringside Reporter/Photographer

Hello there my name is Esteban Cardenas, I join the Knockout news team as an avid member of the wwe/nxt universe. Let me introduce myself to you guys.

I am a 32 year old Mexican American! I have been a huge wwe fan since I was about 7 years old and began traveling to shows when I was 27, I attended my first wrestlemania aged 32! Somewhere along the line I picked up a camera and took it up as a hobby! I haven’t let go of the buzz as wrestling photography is one of the best things I’ve ever done. 

Over the last 3 years I have spent the majority of my time attending NXT and it quickly became my favorite show to attend, the closeness to the action and the bonds created with wrestlers both heel and babyface is just so much fun! My favorite wrestlers I would have to say are Becky Lynch, Bayley, Cora Jade, Roxanne Perez, Cody Rhodes and CM Punk! But nobody is like my all time favourite Latino Heat Eddie Guerrero as he inspired me and made me fall In love with this great sport.

I hope to bring a level of interest to the wwe/ nxt programs through my work here at knockout news through both photography and writing content. Lets have fun!
