Struggling With Sozio

This is a very special episode of the pod. The very first female guest to be on "Struggling With Sozio" is none other than Missy Sampson! She is a 24 year veteran of pro wrestling and has undoubtedly helped build the foundation women's wrestling stands on today. In addition to being a talent herself, Missy has mentored dozens of girls new to the business along the way. Always a well-respected leader of the locker room. Missy tells it like it is and gives it to you straight. If you're an asshole, you'll know ... QUICK!

For me personally, Missy has played a lot of different roles in my life over the last 15+ years to which you'll hear about. But above all things she's been a tremendous friend. Enjoy our chat.

Alexander James is an American Professional Wrestler who has spent the last 4 years training and wrestling abroad in the UK. In top tier independent promotions like WXW Germany, James has been able to truly blossom.

The CZW Academy graduates are back together! Cory Kastle rejoins the podcast along with our fellow classmate Eric Crewe, better known as Jude. We all trained together at the CZW Wrestling Academy from roughly 2002-04 and wrestled for the company there after. We talk about growing up and how much we've changed since we were in our early twenties chasing our dreams.

Pinkie Sanchez is a legendary independent professional wrestler from the mean streets of NYC. He's reinvented himself many times over the years but has always been known for his over-the-top energy, charisma and personality. He and I discuss tending to our families during these difficult times in quarantine. I also inquire what's next for him in wrestling, what's next for wrestling itself and whether we'll ever get back to normal. I also get his thoughts on the very controversial Teddy Hart.

Lou Marconi is a former Professional Wrestler much like myself. He broke into the business in the early 90s and received some really great opportunities working with ECW, WWE and wrestled some of the top names in the world. We talk about some of his highlights, mistakes, setbacks and share some stories about our careers. We also discuss wrestling then vs now and what has become of the business we loved.

Mark is a new friend of mine that I met from being a long-time fan of the Rassle Rock podcast. Along side Rick Connor and Cory Kastle, Mark hosts a weekly pro wrestling themed podcast that is 5 years running and a ton a fun. Years ago Mark worked as a bouncer at a strip club in Philadelphia. Long story short, a young lady ended up staying with him in effort to get her life together ... and you'll just have to listen to hear the rest. Enjoy!

He's back for round 2. This time we talk growing up in the wrestling business and how it taught us everything in life is a "work". How we adapt to the people we're around. Going from selfish to selfless. Giving instead of taking. What the post COVID19 world will look like. And of course, lying to our kids!
