Greg's Story...

Born with cerebral palsy, Iron had a rough childhood as he was often ridiculed for it by peers and classmates. Iron did share a close bond though with his grandmother, who first got him interested in pro wrestling and developed a common love of wrestling. Sadly, Iron lost his grandmother to bone cancer in 1995. Iron also had a tough home life as his mother became addicted to drugs and alcohol, which resulted in emotional and even financial woes and, ultimately, led to the passing of his mother from a drug overdose.

Despite all of these obstacles, the one thing that occupied Greg's mind and motivated him was his love of pro wrestling.

Greg always wanted to be a part of wrestling, though he never thought he could actually be a wrestler. That changed when he saw one legged wrestler Zach Gowen perform in 2003. Greg slowly began to get hope that maybe he too could live his lifelong dream.

In 2006, at 19, Greg began to make that dream a reality, and had his 1st match in July, 2006. Greg has not looked back since, always trying to improve and better himself.

Greg wears handicapped symbols all over his gear, because not only is it a distinguishable symbol, but it's a powerful symbol. Greg says, "To most, the handicapped symbol represents weakness and shame, but I want to make people look at it and see strength, and inspiration... to know any dream is possible to attain, no matter who you are."
