Welcome to the Busted Open podcast.

This is Dave Legreca.

On today's episode, myself and Nick Nemeth talked to Killer Cross and his journey now that he's no longer with the WWE and now killing it on the indie scene.

We dive right in right now on the Busted Open podcast.

This is the Busted Open podcast. This is the busted open podcast.

Friend of the show and is absolutely killing it right now.

No pun intended.

Killer Cross joins us here on Busted Open.

Sir, how are you?

And thank you so much for the time.

I'm doing very good, man. How are you?

Dude, I'm great. And like, talk about this whirlwind. The book being released,

Life is Fighting, which everybody was talking about. Amazing emotional book. Fantastic job,

by the way. I don't know if we had the chance to really talk about it, but gut-wrenching, fantastic emotional journey that you discuss in your book. And speaking of that,

ask you, how's life? Life is very good, man. Life is very good. I feel like maybe I've said this. Oh, I know I've said it a lot. I don't know if I've said it publicly, but like my mom's still being with us. My mom's still being healthy. It's like we all feel like we just won the lottery. So that alone is amazing. A year ago, we didn't know what was going on. She's a cancer survivor and she's completely cancer-free. She finished all of her

treatments. So that alone is amazing. Aside from all that, professionally, everything is wonderful.

We're in two or three different major cities every single weekend. We're in different countries.

I just got to wrestle in Romania for the first time. I won a championship there. So I'm

representing the Eastern European market. I'm going to try to help build the market there. There's a huge fan base there.

But honestly, the time away from major companies and just being in the markets independently,

it's been an invaluable learning experience. Like, I've learned so much about everything on ground level and i got nothing but good things
