Legit seven footer Jeff Bearden joins the podcast in this two parter to talk about his former life as a professional wrestler and now his current role as a motivational speaker who teaches youth to stand up to bullying and get back on their feet. As a wrestler for over 25 years —working under the names “Giant Warrior” and “Tiger Steele”— Bearden entertained audiences all over the world, including audiences of over 75,000. In part one we talk about his early career, training with the Funks, riding with Dick Murdoch, traveling through the territories, being stabbed FIVE times while leaving the ring, crazy overseas wrestling and so much more! He also has stories about legends like Owen Hart, Abdullah the Butcher, Dusty Rhodes and the list keeps going! For old school wrestling fans it’s a trip down memory lane to when the business was great, for none-fans Jeff tells an inspirational tale of working his way up and paying his dues.
