Summary

Tyler Mane went from Stampede Wrestling and WCW to becoming a Marvel mutant and one of horror’s most iconic slashers! He shares stories about training in Stu Hart’s legendary Dungeon, wrestling Andre the Giant in Japan, touring Mexico with Eddie Guerrero, and even lending The Undertaker a few bucks in South Africa. Tyler talks about how a pair of fake teeth and a Bryan Singer audition turned him into Sabretooth in X-Men, what it was like reviving that character 24-years later for Deadpool & Wolverine, and why Rob Zombie told him he wouldn’t make Halloween without Tyler as Michael Myers. He explains how those roles changed his career, what it was like working with Ian McKellen, Brad Pitt, and Sean Bean, and how he’s now using his own production company to fight human trafficking. Plus, Tyler reveals the story of the only championship belt he ever won in wrestling—and how it was stolen just minutes later! The Last Spartan: Red Tape is available for order now at https://thelastspartan.com. A portion of the proceeds goes to https://deliverfund.org to help end human trafficking.
