After overcoming addiction, I thought the hardest part was behind me. I was wrong. In this episode, I share how professional wrestling became an unexpected outlet for my grief, fear, and self-doubt through my alter ego, Alex Mikado. From conquering a lifelong fear of heights to surviving a Grade 3 concussion and stepping into the world of MMA, this isn't a story about fighting—it's a story about s...
