Drew McDonald is one of the most popular and richest Wrestler who was born on June 16, 1955 in Scotland, United Kingdom. Scottish wresting legend who was a mainstay on the independent wrestling circuit in the U.K. starting in the 80’s. He was a ASW British Heavyweight Champion and a FWA Tag Team Champion with Ulf Herman.

He teamed up with Shirley Crabtree, a.k.a. Big Daddy, to defeat Giant Haystacks and Fin Finlay in 1984.

A match screened as part of ITV’s 1984 FA Cup Final coverage saw McDonald team with Big Daddy to defeat Giant Haystacks and Finlay. Three years later, he adopted the persona of the masked Spoiler, managed by the German Doctor Monika Kaiser. Teaming with King Kendo to face Daddy and Andy Blair, he was unmasked by Daddy but preserved his identity due to a black nylon stocking worn over his head and under the mask, concealing his identity so he could get away. A subsequent match pitting the Spoiler and Rasputin (Shawn Doyle) against Daddy and Jason “Kashmir” Singh saw the Spoiler again unmasked and this time identified clearly as McDonald. A rematch between the four with a “Hair vs Hair” stipulation ended in the defeated McDonald being shaved bald. He would retain this look for all his remaining matches on ITV.

McDonald stayed in Scotland wrestling for another year after that first match, in April 1984 he went down to England to work for Joint Promotions, the biggest promoters at that time (in the United Kingdom). The next five years saw McDonald wrestle against the likes of Ray Steele and Gill Singh and become a frequent face on ITV’s televised wrestling coverage. Outside of the ring, McDonald would also develop friendships with the likes of Danny Boy Collins, Fit Finlay and referee Jeff Kaye. McDonald at one point would join the army at the Guards Depot at Pirbright where he joined with the Scots Guards. During his time there he met Dave Taylor, later of WCW fame, who had enlisted in the same regiment as McDonald, as a bandsman on the same day.

His birth name was Charles Shaw. He is survived by his wife Monica.
