Nick Gage (@thekingnickgage) is a professional wrestler and the "King of the death match". He sits down with Chris Van Vliet at Slingshot House in Santa Monica, CA in this interview from May 2021. Nick talks about his episode Dark Side of the Ring on Vice TV, how he became interested in his ultra-violent style of wrestling, being inspired by Cactus Jack and Terry Funk, his dream opponents, going to prison for bank robbery, dying during a match and being brought back to life, almost killing actor David Arquette in a match, what scares him and much more.For more information about Chris and INSIGHT go to: https://chrisvanvliet.comIf you enjoyed this episode, could I ask you to please consider leaving a short review on Apple Podcast/iTunes?
