#001 | 'Second II None' Nathan Cruz: Wrestling for WWE, Missing Out on NXT UK and Locker Room Friendships

With almost 20 years’ experience in the professional wrestling business, NATHAN CRUZ has seen and done it all. A former PROGRESS Wrestling world and tag team champion, holder of the New Generation Wrestling undisputed championship and head coach of Evo Wrestling Academy, Nathan Cruz has travelled the globe and has quite some story to tell - and he shares it all on the debut episode of brand new podcast and YouTube show 'Wrestling Life with Ben Veal.' This isn't your typical wrestling conversation; we’re not here to talk storylines or give star ratings to squared circle bouts. We’ll talking candidly about Nathan Cruz’s long and winding journey towards WWE, his journey from All Star Wrestling to present day, his memories of ITV's World of Sport reboot, the rich friendships made during two decades as a grappler, the mental health challenges of staying motivated during the pandemic, travelling the world through wrestling, passing the torch on to the next generation of stars as head coach of Evo Wrestling Academy and what’s still to come for ‘Second II None’ - prepare for a lot of ground to be covered during this inspiring and illuminating conversation.
