Show Notes
As we head into 44.OH! Presents: Murdered Dead Killed on March 19th in Cleveland, Gregory Iron sits down with 44.OH! member Atticus Cogar.
For the first time in a podcast, "The Silver Teeth Satan" talks candidly with Greg about his career and early years growing up in Ohio. In part one of this in-depth two part interview, you'll hear his thoughts on the riot that nearly occurred with 44.OH! and the fans after the now infamous GCW "Run Rickey Run" event in New Jersey. Atticus also discusses the real danger during the incident with fans throwing their chairs towards 44.OH! at GCW "Chopper City" last November in Philly.
Atticus also opens up about his love for skateboarding, growing up in a bad part of Cleveland, the gang violence and drug culture that he got involved with at the age of 14, a fight that led to him nearly losing everything, spending time in a juvenile detention center and how it changed him, starting a backyard wrestling federation, being discovered by Rickey Shane Page and deciding he wanted to pursue wrestling professionally.
Before the interview, Greg tells Aaron Bauer about his Pizza Deathmatch in Texas with Luigi Primo and how his career has finally peaked after wrestling at a Hooters. Aaron and Greg try discussing scary characters on the independent wrestling scene and somehow end up chatting about CWA/K-Mart parking lot wrestler Lick Z. Sac, an infamous Eddie "The Jock" vs. Juggernaut match, Fake Stings, Fake Doinks, fake superhero characters, and Aaron tells about an "powerful" character that his trainer Rod Destiny came up with.
