Deaf Wrestler Spencer Slade (NWA) - Built Different (Full Interview)

Deaf Wrestler Spencer Slade (NWA) joins LiMPiN AiNT EASY for a full interview on discipline, work ethic, physique standards, and turning adversity into advantage. Born severely hearing impaired and "DEAFIANT," Spencer breaks down hearing aids → speech therapy → confidence, and how that grind became TV-ready intensity. Spencer’s story hits every pillar: HBCU football, Dr. Tom Pritchard drills (“man-in-the-middle”), Killer Kowalski-lineage training, showing up unbooked to an NWA taping & earning a contract. We talk networking with promoters, assertiveness, indie reality checks, and why “luck” is just calendars + calories. What we cover  • Born deaf → speech therapy → finding his voice  • Bullying, chip on the shoulder, and why confidence beats noise  • Sports as an outlet → football & amateur wrestling   • Training in seminars  • The headgear story  • Physique standards: “We’re in an aesthetic business.”  • Indie hustle  • His path to the NWA & Billy Corgan  • MCW Pro Wrestling   • Message to anyone facing obstacles: “NO EXCUSES.”  About Spencer Slade IG: @sladewrestling  •  X: @sladewrestler  •  FB: Spencer Chisum  •  YT: @fearthegeear #SpencerSlade, #LiMPiNAiNTEASY, #NWA, #MCW, #DeafWrestler, #deaf, #hearingaids, #ProWrestling, #inspiration,  #indywrestling, #billycorgan , #disability , #WrestlingPodcast, #OvercomingAdversity, #FearTheGear, #BuiltDifferent =============== LiMPiN AiNT EASY with Timmy Baltimore It’s Wrestling, As REAL As It Gets.
