Show Notes
Host Gregory Iron sits down with his best friend, WWE NXT Superstar Johnny Gargano.
On the eve of his 32nd birthday, Johnny chats with Greg about his formative years on the independent wrestling circuit, while Candice LeRae bakes in the background. Johnny discusses his first "pro" matches at 8 years old and tells Greg about the ex-WCW Champion that told his dad that he'd never make it. Hear how working with Alex Shelley, Nigel McGuiness, and Chris Sabin early on influenced Johnny's in-ring psychology and move set.
For the first time you'll hear about some of Johnny and Greg's brotherly fights while living under one roof, the origin story behind the "Gargano Face" logo, how a television angle between Gargano and Iron got Johnny a TNA tryout, how Johnny feels about influencing the current generation of independent wrestlers, and what makes "Johnny Wrestling" cry.
Before the Johnny interview, we meet Greg's co-host Aaron Bauer -- former pro wrestling manager and commentator. Aaron tells us about his initial pro wrestling tryout, led by a dude on crutches and a wrestler that may or may not have been "Animal" Steele.
