What does it take to go from having to relearn how to walk to chasing championship gold in professional wrestling?
In this episode of Tag’mm & Bag’mm, we sit down with Tommy 2 Good for one of our most revealing and entertaining conversations yet.
Tommy takes us behind the scenes of his journey into independent professional wrestling, from discovering the Bears Den and taking his first bumps to becoming a former HCW Tag Team Champion and one of the wrestlers making serious noise in the Heartland Championship Wrestling scene. He opens up about his influences, including CM Punk, Edge, Daniel Bryan, Chris Jericho, New Japan Pro-Wrestling, and the matches that made him believe he could become a wrestler.
But there's much more to Tommy's story.
He gets brutally honest about undergoing full reconstructive hip surgery at 19, having to relearn how to walk, and being told by doctors that the things he dreamed of doing—including wrestling—might never happen. His story of overcoming that obstacle adds an entirely different perspective to the wrestler fans see inside the ring.
We also dive into:
🔥 Tommy's three-year run teaming with Austin
🔥 Becoming one of HCW's first tag team champions
🔥 The end of ACFC and his rivalry with Austin
🔥 What he learned from Austin about the psychology of professional wrestling
🔥 His transition from tag team wrestling to becoming a singles competitor
🔥 His love of metal, hardcore, classic rock, vinyl and live music
🔥 Why he might eventually try stand-up comedy
🔥 The crazy stories behind his life outside the ring
🔥 The future of HCW and the rapidly growing Kansas indie wrestling scene
And then we get into the HCW Salina predictions.
Tommy has the Heartland Championship in his sights against Chance while also preparing for the historic King's Cup Final. He's not exactly shy about predicting the outcome either.
Is Tommy Too Good about to walk away with both the Heartland Championship AND the King's Cup?
There's only one way to find out.
