Thank you for this fantastic interview especially how you allow your guest to delve into such interesting history without interruption.
Thank you again for your professionalism as well as knowledge of the sport and your guest’s background as you touched upon so many insightful topics.
I loved listening to Mike today after following him for years on Flo.
(Good luck with your own wrestling, too!) 👏👏👏

Mike is a intense but cool dude. His head and heart seems to be in the right place.

[@VincentWest19]

[@alexwendling]

Glad you loved it.

[@sdfdsdfd1227]

Dang selfishly sucks that he left Flo. He was the best technical commentator/ preview guy they had.

Flowrestling lost a real gem

[@Jarrett_derryberry]

He coaches at Bobby Lee’s former high school.

[@daytonasayswhat9333]

No way!

[@adam23sp]

Never put two and two together 😂

[@adminemail7893]

Alex .. your really good

[@MM96Daniel]

TLDR: why did he get fired?

[@johnchristian3387]

Love Mike Mal

[@alexwendling]

ditto!

[@ogot344]

Didn’t know he got fired

[@alexwendling]

i only knew via reddit and i wasn't going to ask him about it but then it came up naturally haha

[@jessicahoffmann8473]

Yeah Mike mal is the best !!!jerks at flow wrestling are lame and crooks. Flow lost when they fired Mike. That’s 1 for the good guy (Mike) !!!!!! Just saying 😊

[@alexwendling]

such a big loss for them! but sounds like he's living the good life over there in san diego!!

[@dowutado]

No it's not. They are a business and are fine. Willie is doing great and Flo marches on, same thing. I mean they literally forced out the damn Founder Martin Floriani. They have some Jerks there people don't like, but Flo is doing well. Want nothing but the best for Mike. Just thought of him last Saturday. When Bo Nickal fought. Anthony Cassar was in his corner. Cassar came up and spent time at Mike's academy in NJ back in the day. That's a guy trained by Mike still doing big things.

If you know...🙏

[@mattiejitsu]

You moved from Texas to Cali? Probably the only one.

[@alexwendling]

He did! I moved from Florida to Cali after college lol

[@daytonasayswhat9333]

Couldn’t pay me enough to leave Texas for California.

[@alexwendling]

@@daytonasayswhat9333 I'm from virginia, i don't like the extreme cold or hot of both but like the scene

[@daytonasayswhat9333]

@@alexwendling the weather is great in California. As are the mountains and scenery and everything else except the crazy people run the government and crazy left wing people on the coast.

[@valiantthor-]

You should have talked about how Myers recruits top kids away from other section schools.

[@alexwendling]

Who is Myers? I'd love to look into that

[@valiantthor-]

The Head Poway Wrestling Coach

[@edgewoodwrestling1643]

The "Who's Number One" is fixed. F flowrestling with their stream that crashes and glitches every time and fixing high school matches.

[@truefreedom9308]

Burroughs.? Go dake!

[@1890Orsy]

Both are great. But Burroughs is probably the greatest ever

[@truefreedom9308]

@@1890Orsy Burrough, Russell is dirty. And he would’ve not gone to the Olympics the time before last if he did not wrestle so dirty. He kept purposely finger nailing him in the eyeballs. It was because of Dick, dirty hands to face wrestling that the NCAA pass the rules that they did.
