Timmy Baltimore | LiMPiN AiNT EASY

In this powerful first part of my sit-down with Tehuti Miles (a.k.a. Ashante “Thee” Adonis), we dive deep into his journey before the spotlight.

From growing up in a big, loving family in New Jersey to mastering martial arts, football, and acting, Tehuti shares how his competitive edge was forged early. He opens up about joining the U.S. Army, enduring brutal boot camp, deploying to Kandahar, Afghanistan, and the moment he narrowly avoided being inside a vehicle destroyed by a massive IED.

We get into how his military discipline shaped his wrestling career, and the mindset that keeps him chasing greatness.

📌 Topics Covered in Part One:

Childhood roots & family influence

Martial arts, athletics & acting ambitions

Joining the Army & surviving boot camp

Life in Kandahar: firefights, IEDs & close calls

Transitioning to pro wrestling

Living life without fear or complacency

🎙 LiMPiN AiNT EASY – where wrestling gets real, no gimmicks, no filters.

CHELSEA GREEN is one of the most dynamic & entertaining WWE Superstars in game today! On this episode of LiMPiN AiNT EASY, this gine Canadian Import turned Bonafide American Treasure discusses a variety of topics with Timmy Baltimore, pertaining to both her life & career. Such as her incredible character work; ranging from “The Hot Mess” in TNA IMPACT WRESTLING, to WWE’s resident “May I Speak With Your (General) Manager” Karen, to the inaugural Women’s United States Champion, flanked by The Secret Hervice. Yet it has not been an easy road to the top for Green, as she has fought her way through injuries, doubt, & multiple streaks of bad luck. And because of her ironclad belief in self, she has become Ms. Can’t Miss TV, “Chelsea Greeeeeeen!”

SCOTTY RIGGS was a featured TV wrestling star in World Championship Wrestling (WCW) during one of the industry’s most important time periods. Best known as ½ of the AMERICAN MALES w/ MARCUS “BUFF” BAGWELL, and later as a member of RAVEN’S FLOCK, Riggs found himself on the front lines of The Monday Night Wars, when WCW Monday Nitro bested VINCE McMAHON’S World Wrestling Federation (WWE) for 83 weeks. But as he reveals in this inspiring & brave interview with Timmy Baltimore on LiMPiN AiNT EASY, Scotty’s most arduous war would be fought on the battlefield of his own mind. In his darkest hour, the former WCW star was fully submerged in an abyss of depression, and ready to be done with this earthly existence. Yet when fate intervened in the form of old friends, Scotty found himself in the midst of the comeback of a lifetime! Hear his full circle story—that came so close to never being told—as he’s never told it before: How one man climbed from the depths of hell so that he can courageously help those who are still suffering.

ARON STEVENS may be best known for his portrayal of the “Intellectual Savior of the Masses,” DAMIEN SANDOW, and as the wildly popular, MIZDOW; Stunt Double to WWE Superstar, THE MIZ. But as he tells his former OVW colleague, Timmy Baltimore, on this episode of LiMPiN AiNT EASY, Aron had an entire wrestling career both before and after the Damien Sandow character. And despite not being a generational wrestler or nepotism baby, Aron Stevens practically grew up in the wrestling business. In this must listen interview, the former Sandow covers his extensive wrestling career; from beginning his training under the legendary KILLER KOWALSKI when Aron was only 16 and still attending high school, to getting being hired, fired, rehired, and debuting twice on the WWE roster before the age of 30! Aron’s story is one of surviving the ups & downs of the wrestling business, but always being able to land on his feet because of his invaluable experience and ability to “Get Over” with any live crowd. Today, Aron is an integral part of SMASHING PUMPKINS frontman Billy Corgan’s National Wrestling Alliance; the NWA. Stevens is openly and appropriately critical of the state of the wrestling business, with knowledge and wisdom that can only accompany a young 27 year veteran of the industry.
