Episode 129 of Best For Business features one of the most traveled and versatile competitors, Dylan Bostic. From the Indiana wrestling circuit to television and beyond, Dylan shares the story behind a career built on persistence, adaptability, and confidence.

Bostic dives into why pro wrestling captured his attention at an early age and how he first got involved in the business through the Indiana wrestling scene and Hoosier Pro Wrestling. He talks about the development of the “Dylan Bostic” persona, early tournaments like Super Indy XIV, and how those early opportunities helped build his reputation.

The conversation moves into his time at Ohio Valley Wrestling, where he shares what daily life was like in OVW and some of his favorite moments during the run. Dylan reflects on highlights from the promotion, becoming a 2-time OVW Television Champion, teaming with Jessie Godderz, and learning invaluable lessons from veteran trainer Rip Rogers.

After OVW, Dylan’s career took him across the independent circuit, including a major opportunity wrestling Ryback on WWE SmackDown. He also reflects on competing for Northeast Wrestling, finding his confidence as a performer, and continuing to evolve as a wrestler across multiple promotions.

The episode also explores his run in the Young Lions Cup, the formation of Pac 3, and time with Championship Wrestling from Hollywood. Dylan opens up about the pandemic forcing him to step away from wrestling temporarily and how that led him to explore other creative outlets like rapping and acting.

The conversation wraps up with Dylan reflecting on the matches that define his career, the opponents who bring the best out of him, what the future holds, and the legacy he hopes to leave in the wrestling business.
