Impact Wrestling star Josh Alexander recently made an appearance on Cody Deaner’s new podcast, “Wrestling is Life is Wrestling with Cody Deaner.” The debut episode featured an insightful conversation between the two wrestlers, discussing the intersection of wrestling and life. Alexander shared some valuable lessons he learned from his experiences as a fan and a professional wrestler.
One of the key takeaways from Alexander’s childhood was the importance of embracing one’s interests and not worrying about others’ opinions. He recounted how his stepdad would dismiss wrestling as “dumb stuff,” but his grandmother would defend his right to enjoy what he liked. This taught him the valuable lesson of being true to oneself and not conforming to societal norms. Alexander encouraged young fans to embrace their passions, even if they were considered unconventional.
Alexander’s tough upbringing also played a significant role in shaping his positive mindset both in life and in the wrestling business. He revealed that his father lacked the drive to pursue his dreams and often self-sabotaged before even trying. This environment of limitations motivated Alexander to create a different atmosphere for his own children, where the word “can’t” is not accepted. He emphasized the importance of supporting and uplifting others, just as he had done for himself throughout his fitness journey and wrestling career.
During his time in wrestling school, Alexander learned a crucial lesson from Johnny Devine – taking responsibility for his own success. Devine taught him that if he truly wanted something, he had to take it and not rely on others to do the work for him. This lesson instilled in Alexander a sense of determination and drive to pursue his goals relentlessly.
In the podcast episode, Alexander also spoke highly of his fellow wrestler Jake Something. He shared how their friendship evolved after they had a match against each other. While they had been acquaintances for years, it was their in-ring encounter that solidified their bond. Alexander praised Something’s talent and described the experience as “kick ass and awesome,” which elevated their friendship to a new level.
