EP. 87- The Real Story of "The Last Real Man" Silas Young

From overcoming addiction and selling drugs to finding a wrestling school and what it takes to be the last real man, ROH star Silas Young shares his journey with Gregory Iron.   Silas discusses the mistakes he made as a punk teen, the serendipitous moment that told him he needed to change his life and become a wrestler, wrestling psychology and how the little things make a huge difference, his incredible cardio despite chain smoking, his WWE developmental deal that ended before it started, how wrestling and the road helps him keep his sanity, his incredible ROH feud with Jay Lethal, and much more.   Plus -- Greg asks his dad how to be a real man, Aaron breaks his tooth in ridiculous fashion, and Greg talks about his first deathmatch this past week in Orlando.   ---   Gregory Iron wrestles with cerebral palsy, a neurological disorder that affects the mobility of his right arm, hand and fingers. Trained by WWE NXT Superstar Johnny Gargano in 2006, Iron has conquered his disability and gone on to work with some of the top names in wrestling including "Stone Cold" Steve Austin, CM Punk, The Dudley Boyz, Tommaso Ciampa and many others.   Co-host Aaron Bauer has worked in the professional wrestling industry for over two decades. A jack-of-all-trades, Aaron has worked in the industry as a local promoter for ECW events, a manager, and has provided color commentary over matches for some of the biggest stars in WWE, WCW, ECW, AEW, Impact & ROH.   Follow "Iron-On Wrestling with Gregory Iron" on all social media platforms: www.facebook.com/irononwrestling www.twitter.com/irononwrestling www.Instagram.com/irononwrestling Back us on Patreon, where you can get complete bonus episodes and additional audio and video content for just $3 a month: www.Patreon.com/IronOnWrestling Follow Gregory Iron: www.Facebook.com/TheHandicappedHero www.Twitter.com/GregoryIron www.Instagram.com/gregory_iron Buy CLASSIC AND EXCLUSIVE Gregory Iron tees here: www.prowrestlingtees.com/GregoryIron To book Gregory Iron for pro wrestling events, speaking engagements, wrestling seminars, school workshops and more contact Greg on his website: www.Gregory-Iron.com Please check out our sponsors: Kayfabe News: Unreal news about an unreal sport! www.KayfabeNews.com The Savage Stash: The Cream of the Crop for vintage & original pro wrestling merch! www.TheSavageStash.com Of The Dead Designs: Bringing Artwork To Life! www.OfTheDead.weebly.com SBS Printing: T-shirt one color prints starting at just $5!
