Professional wrestling career
Polish Xtreme Wrestling (2011-2013)
Sirreks made his debut in the Głuchołazy-based backyard federation Polish Xtreme Wrestling during their first-ever official show PXW Revolution 2011. He made at least 15 appearances for the group, between 2011 and 2013.
Little information is available from that time, however it is confirmed that during his PXW days he won the PXW Tag Team Championship with Snake, and most probably won the PXW Championship on at least one occasion. Sirreks ended his career in PXW some time in mid-to-late 2013.
Maniac Zone Wrestling (2014-2018)
As Kowboj Luke
In 2014 Sirreks joined the newly-formed MZW, wrestling in a cowboy gimmick under the name Kowboj Luke (Cowboy Luke). He was one of the first trainees of the MZW Academy who managed to score his debut at the first official MZW showcase, Pokaz Adeptów in May 2014. As Kowboj Luke he managed to make the total of five appearances, winning in only one match - against Szymon Siwiec at Wrestlefans Party.
As Red Thunder
In early 2015, Kowboj Luke changed his gimmick to Red Thunder, a villainous luchador clad in red. This change improved his position on the card, and he began to win some of his matches, even against established wrestlers such as Shadow. In 2016 briefly became involved in a feud with Jędruś Bułecka after he attacked him backstage at MZW @ Wyciskanie Sztangi 2016. Red Thunder briefly aligned himself with Kripto trying to win the MZW Tag Team Chmapionship in a match against Zbójnicy (Jędruś Bułecka & Stanisław Van Dobroniak. They were, however, defeated.
Shortly thereafter, Red Thunder aligned himself with a mysterious manager - Columbus - and a new wrestler called Blue Thunder, forming a tag team called Storm Riders. They managed to win MZW Tag Team Championship from Zbójnicy in January 2017 at Charity Show. Their reign lasted 140 days before they were defeated by Catch Connection at Champions War III. After that, Storm Riders disbanded and Red Thunder managed to make one last appearance at Big Rumble in January 2018, before retiring from wrestling.
