Sami Callihan has a story to tell. Over the next 2 weeks, Sami sits down with Cody to tell the detailed journey of his life in professional wrestling and the lessons he’s learned along the way. Sami himself says that he’s never gone into this much detail about his career before publicly.

In Part 1 of this 2-part series, Sami discusses his family, his childhood love for wrestling, his backyard wrestling days, his initial pro wrestling training, his years of struggle on the indies, his time with ROH, CZW, Evolve and the buzz he was able to create that led to his first tryout with the WWE. Sami’s story is one of hardship, perseverance, grit… and ultimately refusing to quit your dream even when the world is telling you “No!”

Don’t wait until next week for part 2 of this conversation where Sami goes into detail about his time in NXT and what ultimately led to him quitting his dream job with the WWE. Get it NOW… early and ad-free by signing up for a FREE TRIAL at http://patreon.com/codydeaner
