Cody Goodwin lived and breathed wrestling for 14 years — but he hated it. Now an award-winning journalist at the Des Moines Register, he's fallen back in love with the sport.

Cody told this story during the Des Moines Storytellers Project's “Obsessions" on Oct. 25, 2022 at Hoyt Sherman Place. 

You can follow his reporting at DesMoinesRegister.com.

The Des Moines Storytellers Project believes everyone has a story and everyone can tell it. 

Des Moines Storytellers Project events are filled with neighbors and notables who have a true, first-person story they’re willing to share in 8-10 minutes in front of a live audience.
