Two years ago, pro wrestling was just a dream for Warren C. Freiberg III, Esq. Now Freiberg is the High Voltage Champion in Southland Championship Wrestling after a seemingly improbable journey of dropping 140 pounds and starting his wrestling training in his late 30s. Freiberg joined Windy City Slam Podcast to share his story of sheer persistence and dedication, proving to Hunter Paine that he can hang, influence behind his promo work, what era drew him to wrestling, the latest with Punitive Damages, how far he can possibly go in wrestling and more. Plus, Mike recaps Freelance Wrestling and The Starlight Invitational, talks about the issue that forced AAW to cancel its show and previews DREAMWAVE Wrestling among other shows this weekend.
