“Mad Dog” Josh Powers | Live, Laugh, Lariat

Mad Dog Josh Powers brings chaos and charm as he traces his path from youth group kid to professional wrestler. He talks about how comedy, improv, and his evangelical roots shaped his style, and why authenticity matters more than chasing a cookie-cutter mold. Mad Dog shares stories of busted eye sockets, Terry Funk kendo stick shots, and his first time walking into a locker room full of powder. He opens up about finding his groove after the pandemic, leaning into offbeat, Eric Andre–style energy, and discovering that the best gimmick is just an exaggerated version of yourself. From social media and regional rivalries to rising stars on the indie scene, Mad Dog shows how wrestling, comedy, and chaos collide when you stay true to who you are
