EP. 23- "Iron Demon" Shane Mercer, And The Hogan/Tyson Match That ALMOST Happened

Iron sharpens Iron as Gregory Iron chats with Game Changer Wrestling's "The Iron Demon" Shane Mercer!   Whether it's power moves, lucha libre, backflips off the top, backflips from the top while holding another 300 pound human, or picking up an ENTIRE SET OF BLEACHERS to use them as a weapon, the 6'0" 220 pound Shane Mercer can do it all. Greg and Shane sit down for the first time to discuss Mercer's life and career.   Shane talks about his upbringing in Kentucky, coming up through backyard wrestling, buying a wrestler's license and becoming pro without any formal training, his love of video games, his views on psychology and love for "explosiveness" in pro wrestling, his incredible feats of strength and maneuvers that defy logic, refusing to follow the blueprint of life, ECW, The Undertaker, wrestling Hurricane Helms, and the importance of IWA-MS to him and professional wrestling.   Before the interview, Aaron debuts his own theme and talks about leading his team of young men and women to special olympic gold, Aaron and Greg answer more of your questions, and Greg rips apart a Hulk Hogan/Mike Tyson lie that upon further investigation.. has a bit of truth. --- Gregory Iron wrestles with cerebral palsy, a neurological disorder that affects the mobility of his right arm, hand and fingers.
