Gregory Iron was told he’d never be an athlete, but that didn’t stop him from realizing his pro-wrestling dream! Born weighing barely a pound and diagnosed with cerebral palsy, Greg fought through a turbulent childhood, abusive home life, and physical limitations to become the first professional wrestler with CP. He shares the incredible story of how one-legged wrestler Zach Gowen inspired him to chase his dream, how Johnny Gargano helped train him when no one else would, and how CM Punk once gave him the ultimate in-ring surprise and endorsement. Greg also talks about turning his disability into a heel gimmick, forming The Handicapped Heroes tag team with Gowen, learning from Colt Cabana and Brodie Lee, and even taking bumps from Big Van Vader. Plus, he explains how a torn pec led him to start writing his first book, and how he’s using his story to inspire others through motivational speaking.
