Vern May (born December 31, 1975) better known by his ringname Vance Nevada is a Canadian professional wrestler, author, professional wrestling promoter and wrestling historian.[3]

Professional wrestling career

Since his earliest matches in 1993, Vance Nevada has maintained one of the most aggressive touring schedules of his generation, appearing for 64 wrestling organizations from coast to coast in Canada and wrestling in almost every Province and territory in the country during his career. His passion for the sport and his exposure to the regional sub-cultures of professional wrestling and its fans have served to create an immeasurable appreciation for the sport and its history.

In addition to his success between the ropes which has included matches against ring legends and today's top stars from Jim Neidhart, Matt Borne and the Honky Tonk Man to Kenny Omega, Kyle O'Reilly and the Bollywood Boyz, Vance Nevada is regarded as one of the premiere historians of Canadian ring lore, having published three books on the topic and being awarded with the James C. Melby Historian Award by the U.S.-based Cauliflower Alley Club for his efforts.

Aside from his endeavours to preserve wrestling's past, while also actively participating in wrestling's present, Nevada is a life member of the Cauliflower Alley Club, a benevolent organization of wrestling professionals that provides funding and resource support for wrestling's alumni in the face of medical and personal hardship. In addition to his role on the advisory board and committee appointments, he has served as the editor for the club's international newsletter since 2020.

Between 1994 and 2009, Nevada was ranked in the Pro Wrestling Illustrated magazine top 500 ten times. In February 2022, he eclipsed the all-time record set by Leo Burke for most Canadian wrestling title reigns at 44.[4][5][6]

Nevada has done four Canadian Death Tours.[7][8][9]

Personal life

He resides in Wetaskiwin, Alberta with his wife Karen, and young two sons. He has an older daughter in Calgary. [10]
